To bibliographers and to historians of culture in the widest sense (this) up-to-date author-title catalogue, giving the place, imprint and date of publication together with the entry numbers, where appropriate, of Pollard and Redgrave and Wing, will need no recommendation. Its contents (are) as near to an epitome of late 17th-century English civilisation as we are likely to find. RICHARD OLLARD, THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENTSamuel Pepys's great collection is the finest surviving seventeenth-century library and one of the major libraries of the world despite its relatively modest size. It is as remarkable as the Diary itself, and comprises some 3,000 volumes of medieval manuscripts and early printed books in artistically important bindings, many political papers (especially concerning the Navy), a great collection of ballads, seventeenth-century music, calligraphy, maps, and a large collection of prints and drawings of historical and artistic interest.

History & Criticism

The Pepys ballad collection is the largest surviving collection of English ballads printed in London in the seventeenth century, and is an outstanding source of English popular culture of the period. Pepys himself grouped the ballads into subjects, but a proper catalogue has long been needed by scholars, and this complex and difficult task has at last been completed. As a result, the full riches of the collection, already available in facsimile*, are now properly accessible. The second part of the catalogue consists of the indexes. Titles and sub-titles are indexed together, as these are often interchangeable. First lines and refrains provide text indexes; tunes and music are a guide to the musical element; and imprints, licensing information and authors enable the printing history to be reconstructed.
