Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the diary is now Pepys's most famous work, it was unknown until long after his death. In fact, he only published one book in his lifetime - this account of the administration of the Navy from 1679 until his dismissal from office with the regime change in 1688." "As his friend Evelyn said of him, 'none in England exceeding him in knowledge of the navy', Pepys is able to provide a fascinating insider's view of the working of the Admiralty, replete with technical detail on shipbuilding and the operations of the dockyards. However, the wealth of fact and figures is misleading, and far from being impartial." "The new introduction by David Davies explains the political controversy which formed the background to the book's publication, and shows how Pepys manipulated his mastery of arcane information to his own ends - indeed, he would have made an ideal spin-doctor to a modern government." "The original appendix is a detailed list of the state of the fleet in December 1688, which in this edition is illustrated with contemporary drawings of typical ships." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pepys' Memoires of the Royal Navy, 1679-1688 In form the Memoirs are a fra ment of history the contents of one c apter of a greater number, wherewith the world may some time or Other be more largely entertained upon the general subject of the Nawalia of England.' We know that Pepys dallied with the notion of becoming an historian from an entry in the Diar where he receives with enthusiasm t e idea of writing a history of the First Dutch War, it being a thing I much desire, and sorts mightily with my genius Evelyn also, in writing of his friend's death on May 26, 1703, refers both to the Memoirs and to the larger design of which they were intended to be the forerunner. 'this day died Mr. Sam. Pepys, a very worthy, industrious, and curious person, none in England exceeding him in know ledge of the navy. Besides what he published of an account of the navy as he found and left it, he had for divers years under his hand the History of the Navy.
