This 17th century diary contains a wealth of important information on the social, economic and political events of Whitelocke's time. A distinguished lawyer and Member of Parliament, a keen musician and scholar, and a family man who had three wives and seventeen children, Whitelocke also held such high offices as Keeper of the Great Seal, temporary Speaker of the House of Commons, and Lord President of the Council. He knew most of the leading figures of his time, and his diary reveals sharp insights into public affairs, particularly during the Civil Wars and Interregnum.
