11. Wheatley gives the figures in his Pepysiana (1899), p. 34: ‘For Boxes, Workmen, Necessary Expences and Carriage from Clapham to London £22.1 8s .11d. Carriage to Cambridge £1 8 .3s .10d.’

13. The letters were gathered from Jackson’s descendants, the Pepys Cockerells (see Family Tree), as well as from the Bodleian and the British Museum.
14. Smith’s pathetic and indignant letters are in the Pepys Library at Magdalene.
15. Colburn paid £2,200, of which the Master’s Rent Book says £1,200 was lent to the college at 3 per cent, while an annual sum of £50 was set aside to help a needy scholar chosen by the Master.

19. The moves took place in 1834, 1847 and 1854. In 1879 it occupied the south-east room on the first floor of the second court, which was rendered fire-proof. It was not restored to the room Jackson had chosen for it until 1956 – which is perhaps why I did not see it when I was an undergraduate in the early 1950s. See Ε. K. Purnell’s Magdalene College (1904), pp. 128–36.
20. Bright presented his transcription to Magdalene, but it has been lost.

22. The publishers sought the opinions of Gerald (later Lord) Gardiner and Professor C. S. Lewis on whether they were likely to be prosecuted. Both thought it was now safe (the Obscene Publications Act had been passed in 1959). It must be said that Bryant bravely quoted the opening passage in full in the first volume of his biography, which appeared in 1933.

See too Mark Goldie, ‘Roger Morrice’s Entring Book’ in History Today (Nov. 2001), p. 38. Morrice was Pepys’s contemporary (1628–1702), a Cambridge graduate who used shorthand, but, according to Goldie’s account, his book is not so much a diary as a newsletter for Whig politicians. It is currently being transcribed.
