He counts his gains from time to time is worth on the 4th of March; this has become by the end of April; and is on the 3rd of July. He is profiting by opportunities of war-time, but what is that to the robbery everywhere about him in the public service; beginning with the king, though Pepys does not hint at that. Only he works a little sum, counts up the money paid by the country for the war, and money spent upon the war, then asks what has become of the balance, His Diary, however, helps us to understand what had become, of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Red-Letter Days of Samuel Pepys Pepys's Diary is long, and life is short; yet those who have failed to meet the Diarist have missed a rare pleasure. Hence this volume of selected passages - red-letter days from our standpoint, if not always from his - which will serve, it is hoped, as a good introduction to such as do not know Mr. Pepys, and wish to make the acquaintance of that most original and entertaining gentleman. These selections will also serve to make him more easily accessible to the host of those who are already on good terms with him. The editor has aimed, in assembling the passages that follow, to present a sketch that is characteristic of Mr. Pepys's many-sided personality - a sketch full of vitality that will catch in its comparatively few lines the distinctive traits of its original; and he has also endeavoured to prepare a volume pleasant to have at one's elbow, and most welcome when heavier reading palls, and there is a desire to beguile the time with something at once curious and enlivening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, From 1659 to 1669: With Memoir Pepys's account of the Great Fire of London in 1666 is full as mi nute as that of Evelyn, but it is mingled with a greater number of per sonal and official circumstances, of popular interest the scene of dismay and confusion which it exhibits is almost beyond parallel. It is observed and is true in the late Fire of London, says Pepys, that the fire burned just as many parish churches as there were hours from the beginning to the end of the Fire; and next, that there were just as many churches left standing in the rest of the city that was not burned, being, I think, thirteen in all of each which is pretty to ob serve. Again, Pepys was at this time clerk of the Acts of the Navy; his house and office were in Seething-lane, Crutched Friars; he was called up at three in the morning, Sept. 2, by his maid Jane, and so rose and slipped on his nightgown, and went to her window; but thought the fire far enough off, and so went to bed again, and to sleep. Next morning, Jane told him that she heard above 300 houses had been burnt down by the fire they saw, and that it was then burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge. So, Pepys writes, I made myself ready presently, and walked to the Tower, and there got upon one of the high places, and saw the houses at that end of the bridge all on fire, and an infinite great fire at the other end of the bridge. On Sept. 5, he notes, About two in the morning my wife calls me up, and tells me of new cries of fire, it being come to Barking Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Samuel Pepys: And the World He Lived In The pronunciation of Pepys's name has long been a disputed point, but although the most usual form at the present day is Peps, there can be little doubt that in his own time the name was pronounced as if written Reefs. The reasons for this opinion are: (i) that the name was sometimes so spelt phonetically by some of his contemporaries, as in the Coffee-house paper quoted ln the Diary (ed. Mynors Bright, vol. Vi. P. 292) On Tuesday last Mr. Peeps went to Windsor, &c. (2) that this pronunciation is still the received one at Magdalene College, Cambridge; and (3) that the present bearers of the name so pronounce it.
