"William Lilly's History of His Life and Times, from the Year 1602 to 1681" by Lilly is a historical account written during the early 18th century. The work serves as a memoir and chronicles the life of Lilly himself, providing a fascinating glimpse into his experiences during a tumultuous period in English history, particularly focusing on astrology and his role within it. At the start of this memoir, Lilly introduces himself and reflects on his humble beginnings in Diseworth, highlighting the obscurity of his town and family. He recounts personal details about his upbringing, education, and early influences that shaped his interest in astrology. The tone is candid and intimate, detailing not only his family history but also his educational journey and the significant people he encountered, which set the stage for his later prominence in astrological circles and societal events throughout the 17th century. This opening lays an intriguing foundation for understanding both his character and the historical context in which he operated.
