In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published between 1914 and 1940. Volume 1 lists 114 manuscripts relating to maritime and naval matters, a subject of particular interest to Pepys, who was employed by the admiralty. They fall into three main categories: official documents of his own time, other official and unofficial documents that he collected as material for his projected 'History of the Navy', and books and papers that appealed to him but are not directly relevant to naval history. This catalogue remains a valuable resource for researchers in naval history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 'Sea' Manuscripts\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary theory [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary theory\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20theory%20%5BDSA%5D%22\"\u003eDSA\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265902039320,"sku":"9781108002028","price":21.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108002028i_5c56f92b-9b94-41c2-bc87-cab58b79dce0.jpg?v=1694867103","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bibliotheca-pepysiana-a-descriptive-catalogue-of-the-library-of-samuel-pepys-paperback-9781108002028","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
