Description
“Douglas Chambers and David Galbraith are to be commended for editing the substantial letterbooks of John Evelyn (1620–1706), a useful window on the many interests of Evelyn and the seventeenth-century English culture to which he made such a contribution. His wide-ranging curiosity finds expression in these letters. Horticulture and botany are especially well represented, but architecture, numismatics, painting, translation, history, politics and divinity also find comment, sometimes at length.”
