The Diary of Henry Teonge: Chaplain on Board H.M.'s Ships Assistance, Bristol, and Royal Oak, 1675-1679 (The Broadway Travellers)

x, 318 pp. "As a picture of life in the Navy during the period, this dairy is without a rival. Teonge was a shrewd observer of men and things, good-humoured, breezy, with a picturesque style. Like Pepys, his work mirrors himself, as well as recording the humour and pathos of a sailor's life."
