Samuel Pepys' Diary 1932 Edited And Arranged By Willis L. Parker Illustrations by Randolph Adler Samuel Pepys was an English diarist and naval administrator. He served as administrator of the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament and is most famous for the diary he kept for a decade.

On 1 January 1660, Pepys began to keep a diary. He recorded his daily life for almost ten years. This record of a decade of Pepys's life is more than a million words long and is often regarded as Britain's most celebrated diary.
