Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dutch in the Medway Charles Macfarlane´s "The Dutch in the Medway," here reprinted, is not one of the world´s greatest or most charming books, but it may serve to introduce the reader to another which, in the judgment of all capable book-tasters, deserves at least the latter epithet. I am not acquainted with any better handbook to the character and writings of that worthy and soberly gamesome Clerk to the Navy Board in the reign of King Charles the Second, Mr. Samuel Pepys of happy memory, than the unimaginative, Quaker-drab paragraphs of the literary galley-slave who tugged so manfully at Mr. Charles Knights oar, and died as a poor brother of the Charterhouse in 1858.
