Summary: "Samuel Pepys and the Royal Navy" by J. R. Tanner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to illuminate the significant role of Samuel Pepys in the administration of the Royal Navy during the Restoration period through a series of lectures given at Trinity College, Cambridge. The book explores the complexities and challenges of naval administration, emphasizing Pepys's contributions and his efforts to reform and improve the naval operations of his time. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining Pepys's extensive collection of naval manuscripts and their importance in understanding the naval history from the Restoration to the Revolution. It highlights Pepys's ambition to write a comprehensive history of the navy, reflecting his commitment to naval affairs. Tanner discusses the various groups of documents that inform us about the administrative challenges faced by Pepys and his contemporaries, including the enduring issues of corruption and inefficiencies within the navy's operations. This introductory section establishes a robust foundation for the subsequent analyses of naval administration, finance, victualling, and the various reforms proposed and enacted during Pepys's time in service.
