		Richard Evelyn, who was High Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in 1633-4, was the son of a man who made an immense fortune through the introduction of the manufacture of gunpowder into England.
		Evelyn laid out famous gardens at Sayes Court and worked all his life on a projected treatise on gardening, to be called Elysium britannicum, which he never completed and published, though various parts of it were.
		Evelyn was able to travel abroad during virtually the whole of the Civil War--from 1643-7 and again 1649-52.

	John Evelyn
		Evelyn also wished to present himself as a pious, God-fearing man (which of course he was) and therefore made copious notes of sermons, abbreviated details of which appear in increasing numbers towards the end of the Diary.
		Evelyn appears to have had honourable intentions but it is equally possible that he expressed in his power over her religious life, sexual feelings that another might have expressed in a more physical way.

	The Garden Catalogue Number 16
		Evelyn first came to the attention of Samuel Hartlib in 1653, when he was engaged on collecting material for a history of trades, a project which he would pursue later in his life, particularly as a Fellow of the Royal Society in the 1660s.
		Evelyn was confident that human ingenuity and labour could return the earth to its pristine fertility and beauty, and restore paradise in a garden designed according to ancient precepts (Evelyn Papers Ms.
		However, Evelyn placed less stress on the mater ial benefits which might result from such a restoration, and more on the spiritual advantages of gardens, calling attention to the perfect knowledge of Adam in Eden, and arguing that the gardener might be ‘an absolute Philosopher’ (Evelyn Papers Ms.45, p.4).

	Who was John Evelyn?
		Born in 1620 into a substantial Surrey landowning family whose fortunes were founded in gunpowder manufacture, John Evelyn came of age just as the Civil War began `in a conjunction of the greatest and most prodigious hazards that ever the youth of England saw'.
		To escape the disturbances, he embarked on a prolonged and formative period of travel in Italy and France, finally coming to rest in Paris in 1647 where he married the daughter of the English Resident, Sir Richard Browne, whose house was a centre for the exiled royalist community.
		It has been suggested that Evelyn tried to discourage her from the marriage in order to keep her under his influence.

	Pikle - The Diary Junction - John Evelyn
		After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Evelyn was favoured by Charles II and James II and held various prestigious posts.
		Although he wrote many books (including one on trees), Evelyn is most famous for his long and detailed diary which provides a rich and historically important record for much of the 17th century.
		Although Evelyn's diary covers over 50 years, and that of his friend Samuel Pepys covers only eight years, Pepys's diary is actually longer; and, unlike Pepys, Evelyn reveals very little about himself.

		Today John Evelyn is known almost exclusively for his Diary, the remarkable record of his life at the centre of English social and political life in the seventeenth century; his other literary works have received scant attention.
		The Writings of John Evelyn is the first serious attempt to make a selection of his works available for modern scrutiny.
		It covers as representative a range as possible of Evelyn's books and tracts, from the first edition of his work on arboriculture, Sylva (1664), and his invective on London's pollution, Fumifugium (1661), which has acquired a new relevance, to his memorial to his son Richard, The Golden Book of St John of Chrysostom(1659).
