Mynors Bright (1818–1883) was an English academic, president of Magdalene College, Cambridge, from 1853 to 1873.
[1] He was educated at Shrewsbury, and entered Magdalene College, Cambridge, on 3 July 1835.
The edition included engravings of William Faithorne's Map of London, 1658, and John Evelyn's Posture of the Dutch Fleet, 1667.
It corrected numerous errors occurring in the original decipherment, and inserted many passages hitherto suppressed but still left only about 80% of the diary in print.
[3] A complete reissue of Bright's transcript was edited by Henry Benjamin Wheatley[4] in ten volumes in 1893–1899.
