The diary which is the subject of this paper was written by Margaret, Lady Hoby, the wife of Sir Thomas Posthumous Hoby, of Hackness, near Scarborough; it extends from August 1599 to August 1605. The manuscript is now in the British Museum (Egerton 2614); it was purchased from the Sydenham family, to whom it descended through Hoby's heir, Sir John Sydenham. As I hope to edit the text in full, I propose to give only a brief account of the writer, and a few extracts from the diary showing the everyday life of a country gentlewoman of that time
