http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/465243474

The daily entries refer to proceedings in Parliament and the Privy Council, to politics and social events as well as to family concerns. The accounts include his expenditure on his family's and servant's clothes, his stables and cellar, repairs to the church in 1673 (?), his purchase of the manor of Winterbourne Stoke [Wiltshire], and a summary of his rents and income, 1668-1674. He mentions the proceedings of the court of the manor of West Horsley in 1668. Sir John went to the play several times but he never states what play he saw. He bought a landscape by Danckerts (Dancre) and called in Dr. Needham for medical advice.
