Henry Benjamin Wheatley (1838-1917) was an eminent bibliographer, author and editor who served as assistant secretary to the Royal Society of Arts between 1879 and his retirement in 1908. He also had a particular interest in the life of Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), founding the Samuel Pepys Club in 1903 and producing the most reliable edition of Pepys' diary until the Latham edition (1970-1983). This volume contains a detailed biography of Pepys. Using contemporary sources, Wheatley discusses Pepys' achievements during the period his diary was kept, his progression in the Navy Board and his resignation in 1689. Wheatley provides descriptions of Restoration society, manners and customs, exploring the historical context of Pepys' life through discussions of incidents taken from his diary. This volume remains a standard reference for the historical context of Pepys' diary and life.

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College, Cambridge, & bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to the College on condition that the contents remained intact & unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, & four volumes were published between 1914 & 1940. Volume 3 lists 51 volumes of medieval manuscripts, some of them consisting of several items bound together. The author, the outstanding palaeographer & prolific writer of catalogues M.R. James, remarks on the almost total absence of Latin liturgical & theological manuscripts, & calls attention to the historical, literary & scientific writings in English & French, several picture-books, an interesting 'scrapbook' & a unique copybook from 1400 included in Pepys' collection.
