From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

... and so to home where I fell to read _The fruitless
precaution_ (a book formerly recommended by Dr. Clerke at sea
to me), which I read in bed till I had made an end of it and do
find it the best-writ tale that ever I read in my life.  After
that done, to sleep, which I did not very well do because that
my wife, having a stopping in her nose, she snored much, which
I never did hear her do before.
