| Publisher Description: First published in 1920 and originally delivered as the Lees Knowles Lectures in November 1919, this book looks at Pepys' legacy as a naval administrator. Respected Pepys scholar J. R. Tanner examines the ways in which Pepys applied business principles to various facets of naval organization, all while working under a king whose aversion to business-related matters was well known. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pepys or the history of the British Navy. |
