No Englishman has had a greater zest for life, a more delighted vitality, than Samuel Pepys. Avid for pleasure, he was no less passionate for efficiency. Enjoying beauty in all its forms, he was also a man of insatiable intellectual curiosity, President of the Royal Society, friend and patron of scholars. Never bored, he is never boring.
