The Diary Of Samuel Pepys
Posted on 2010-04-16
|  |
More Transcribed from the shorthand manuscript in the Pepysian Library Magdalene College Cambridge by the Rev. Mynors Bright M.A. Late Fellow and President of the College (Unabridged), with Lord Braybrooke's notes, edited with additions by Henry B. Wheatley F.S.A.Diarist and naval administrator Samuel Pepys studied at Cambridge, rose rapidly in the naval service, and became secretary to the Admiralty in 1672. He lost his office and was imprisoned in the Tower of London because of his alleged complicity in the Popish Plot (1678-9), but was reappointed in 1684 and in that same year became president of the Royal Society. At the Revolution (1688) he was again removed from office. The celebrated diary, which ran from 1 January 1660 to 31 May 1669, the year his wife died and his eyesight failed him, is of interest both as the personal record (and confessions) of a man of abounding love of life, and for the vivid picture it gives of contemporary life, including naval administration and Court intrigue. The highlights are probably the restoration and coronation of Charles II (1660), the Great Plague (1665-6), the Great Fire of London (1666), and the arrival of the Dutch fleet (1665-7). It was written in Thomas Shelton's Shorthand, and not decoded until 1825.
