Seventeenth Century Diary
Sunday, October 14, 2001 
The diary of Roger Morrice, a 17th century puritan, has been
found and is currently being deciphered by a Cambridge team. BBC has stories on 17th
century British diaries and the most
famous of them, Samuel
Pepys', an abridged
version of which is available online. Other British diaries of
that time are also online, including excerpts from the diaries of William Honeywell, an early 17th
century yeoman; and
John
Evelyn, a writer and one of the founders of the Royal
Society. Evelyn's diaries are said to contain the first recorded instance
of coffee in England. More complete is
the journal
that Sir Joseph Banks
maintained on Cook's
first
Pacific expedition on the HMS Endeavour.
