A Descriptive Catalogue of the Naval Manuscripts in the Pepysian Library cover

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) made a significant contribution to British history by his work as a naval administrator, and he bequeathed to Magdalen College, Cambridge its greatest treasure – his library, a unique collection of 3,000 books and manuscripts, still preserved as he left it. There are 250 volumes of manuscripts and these NRS volumes published selected documents from the collection.

This continues the calendar of Pepys’s letters as Secretary of the Admiralty from January 1674 to May 1677.
