INDEX

The titles of Chapters are printed in italics

411 The charge was not so frivolous after all, for the writer of an article on the “Diary” in the “Edinburgh Review” for July, 1880, points out that although Pepys denied publicly that he ever possessed a crucifix, he positively states in the “Diary” that he had one. See July 20, August 2, and November 3, 1666. I ought to have noted this, as the facts are given in the Index to the “Diary.”
