The Diary Of Samuel Pepys.: For The First Time Fully Transcribed From The Shorthand Manuscript In The Pepysian Library by Samuel Pepys. This volume presents Pepys's diary as fully transcribed from the shorthand manuscript held at the Pepysian Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge, edited with extensive additions by Henry B. Wheatley, F.S.A., and Mynors Bright. Covering January 1, 1663 to July 5, 1663 (Volume V), it offers a day-by-day account of Pepys's role as Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Navy, detailing naval administration, Tangier preparations, the Mole project, victualling, and pay, alongside the political theatre of Charles II's court and Parliament. The entries illuminate court intrigues, patronage, and the daily life of Restoration London, including interactions with figures such as Castlemaine, the Duke of York, Lord Sandwich, Coventry, Minnes, and Batten, as well as Pepys's personal concerns about his marriage, finances, and the demands of public service. The volume also reflects the editor's apparatus, annotations, and illustrations that contextualize these primary sources for readers.
