The Diary of Samuel Pepys is online -- the excerpt for each day's date...in the 1660's...is updated daily. Pepys is a famed chronicler of 17th century life, through his meticulous and often unwittingly hilarious entries: "Then I went down into the Hall and to Will’s, where Hawly brought a piece of his Cheshire cheese, and we were merry with it." Huzzah!
