(1) The music collection consists of 70 volumes, chiefly of vocal & instrumental music representative of the tastes and interests of the amateur. It ranges from psalm-books to operas, and the composers include Henry Lawes, Finger, Grabu, A. Scarlatti and Purcell. Pepys was a musician as well as a music lover, & collected treatises on the subject of musical theory (e. G. By Mersenne and Kircher) & items of historical interest. (2) The voluminous map collection, with only few exceptions, was a by-product of Pepys's work at the Admiralty & was made for use. Hence its concentration on material related to Navigation. Contained in a variety of formats as separate Maps, Charts, Atlases, books of Travel, Topography, and Manuscript Journals of naval commanders, its size &comprehensiveness make it unique among English collections of the period. It includes examples of the work of the great mapmakers, English and foreign, of the 17th century. (3) The 'Calligraphicall Collection' includes fragments of medieval manuscript (some carrying comments by Humfrey Wanley) and of Early Printed Books, followed by an extensive gathering of representative pages from the engraved copybooks published by the writing masters of England, France, Holland, Spain and Italy in the 17th century." .
