The Notebooks of Nehemiah Wallington, 1618-1654: A Selection (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780754651864)

This book provides substantial excerpts from the seven surviving notebooks of London wood-turner and puritan Nehemiah Wallington. Covering the period 1618 to 1654, the writings touch on a broad range of everyday and spiritual concerns. Accounts of incidents in his domestic, working and religious life sit side-by-side with sustained meditations on his spiritual state and reports on national events are recorded, along with their possible providential meanings. This collection provides a unique window into everyday life in seventeenth century England.
