Samuel Pepys was a Member of Parliament and an English naval administrator. He is most famous for the private diary he kept for just under a decade (1660-1669), which was subsequently published in the 19th century. The diary has served as a invaluable primary source for Pepys personal revelations and eyewitness accounts of great events such as The Second Dutch War, the Great Fire of London, and the Great Plague of London. In addition, the diary holds information on Pepys personal and public life, all written in a shorthand called Tachygraphy, which was devised by Thomas Shelton.
