She was now at war with the allied Dutch and French, and was suffering from the terrible effects of the Great Plague which ravaged London in 1665. During September 2-5, 1666, occurred a catastrophe of almost equal horror. A fire, which broke out in a baker's house near the bridge, spread on all sides so rapidly that the people were unable to extinguish it until two-thirds of the city had been destroyed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
