Now that I've done more research and created a few eBooks myself, I would like to suggest the following. In Samuel Pepys's day, these three books were highly esteemed:
1. Religio Medici by Sir Thomas Browne
2. Advice to a Son by Francis Osborne
3. Hudibras by Samuel Butler
#1 seems to be widely reproduced, including in the Harvard Classics.
#3 I made a nicely fromatted eBook recently - see uploads on this site.
#2 I have not yet found even any raw electic text to work from. Any advice or help on locating same would be much appreciated.
