FOOTNOTES:

[411] The charge was not so frivolous after all, for the writer of an article on the “Diary” in the “Edinburgh Review” for July, 1880, points out that although Pepys denied publicly that he ever possessed a crucifix, he positively states in the “Diary” that he had one. See July 20, August 2, and November 3, 1666. I ought to have noted this, as the facts are given in the Index to the “Diary.”

Transcriber’s note:

The illustrations which were included as plates in the original have been moved near to the text they illustrate. The five portraits of court ladies did not have captions in the original, their names have been included by the transcriber as a description of the illustration.

Footnotes have been moved to the end of chapters.

Variant spelling, inconsistent hyphenation and irregular punctuation are retained, but, in a few cases, missing punctuation has been added for consistency, e.g. after abbreviations, and to match quotation marks.

On page 109 the date on which Pepys first notices signs of the plague was originally printed as the 7th of June, 1667; the year has been changed to 1665.

In the index the page number (31) for the entry “Pepys thinks of writing a history of the Dutch war” has been added.
