Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys M.A., F. R. S, Vol. 9: Transcribed From the Shorthand Manuscript in the Pepysian Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge by the Rev. Mynors Bright M.A. Late Fellow and President of the College; Index There are two great difficulties which the indexer has to face. The first is, that the consulters of a book consisting of so miscellaneous a contents as this one, come to it with such different tastes and with such different objects that it is almost impossible to please them all. The second is inherent to the compilation of the Index itself. A diary such as this presents special pitfalls for the most careful indexer, because Pepys wrote for himself alone, and he knew to whom he referred, but we can never be sure that people with the same name were actually the same persons. To instance one case out of many, Pepys constantly met two Mrs. Turners, one his cousin, and the other the wife of a clerk of the Navy Office. In many references there are circumstances that help us to decide which one is referred to, but in others we can never be quite sure. Having mentioned these pitfalls, I may add an explana tion of how the long entries have been arranged. Nothing is more annoying in using an index than to find when looking up a reference that the name alone is mentioned. To over come this objection the entries are analyzed and printed in chronological order, and at the end are the references to thosevi preface.
