Rissi’s Reviews > The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Vol. IX: 1668-9 > Status Update

I am still interested in this rather amazing man, who is the main person responsible for working to create a navy for Great Britain. He lobbied a Duke (forgot his name for the moment) hard for funds and authority to oversee shipbuilding. The last diary is not quite as interesting as the first six, but I hope to finish it by year's end.
