Anchitell Grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anchitell Grey (c. 1624-1702) was a member of the Parliament of England from 1665 until 1695. Though he spoke rarely, he kept a detailed diary of proceedings in the House of Commons, summarising the speeches he heard. The diary, published in the eighteenth century, is the main surviving record for the debates in Parliament in most of the period that it covers.
