The gentry did not like this criticism, ' "Diary, " Sept. 23, 1667.
* June 12, 1662; July i, 1662. ^ Jan. 30, 1664-65.
* March 12, 1659-60. ° Jan. 16, 1659-60.
MANNERS. 21 J but it shows at least that money had a much greater purchasing power then than now. In the winter of 1666-67 the farmers were very un- fortunate, and many were forced to become bankrupts, so that property previously bringing in ^1, 000' suddenly became worth only ^500. The wages of a cookmaid were ^4 a year, which Pepys tho...ught high, " and a coach cost ^53, "* but a beaver hat was charged as high as £^ 5^.^ Twenty-hve pounds was paid for a painted portrait, and 2^30- for a miniature, and £'6>o for a necklace of pearls. Cherries were sold at two shillings a pound, ^ oranges at six shillings a dozen, and dinners at an ordinary varied from seven shillings to a guinea.
