Much had been written about Pepys, but the real greatness of the reason which man, and the true Justified such a service, seemed far from evident, not only to the gen- eral public but to those who wrote, of him. The author of a recent book (not Mr. John Drinkwater) argued that apart from his literary importance as a diarist, Pepys was merely a painstaking departmental official," about whom a great deal of unnecessary fuss had been made. But it was no auch unworthy estim- ate of Pepys, which thronged that church at the funeral in June, 1703, Rather had they gathered to honour one who, whatever his youthful follies, was known for his courage and steadfastness, and who in the face of ingratitude set himself with unswerving loyalty to serve and to save Britain..
