The Diary of Samuel Pepys
THE DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS M.A. F.R.S.
CLERK OF THE ACTS AND SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY
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.
My ongoing curiosity about old texts turned new has led me to something interesting: The Diary of Samuel Pepys. The entire diary of Samuel Pepys is undergoing an electronic republication. My reader(s) may remember him from a brief mention in the compulsory canon, where he is quoted from his diary’s observation’s about the Great London Fire. This happened, you know, before television, when there were a variety of things to observe, or ways to observe them.
