Invaluable social history/numismatic reference work on seventeenth century taverns/trade tokens.
George Berry, a well-known authority on the seventeenth century English token series, investigates all those inns, taverns, places of refreshment and entertainment mentioned by Pepys in his Diary, and which also issued tokens. The introductory text sets the scene of the man, his moods and the times and then examines in detail under each relevant hostelry the known tokens, Pepys own comments about his visits, drinks and meals, and what other interesting background knowledge we have of the token issuer and the history of the establishment. The whole forms a fascinating side-light on seventeenth century London which will be of interest to so many people, not only those who delight in the character of Pepys but also such as the historian and the numismatist.
