	Pepys' Diary
		Pepys' connection with literature is that rather of a virtuoso than of a student in the strict sense of the term.
		Pepys appears to have been a very beautiful and an extremely difficult lady, disagreeable enough to tempt him into many indiscretions, and yet so virtuous as to fill his heart with remorse for all his failings, and still more with vexation for her discoveries of them.
		Pepys, had he known of Bunyan, would probably have approved of him, for he enthusiastically admired people who were living for conscience' sake, like Dr. Johnson's friend, Dr. Campbell, of whom it was said he never entered a church, but always took off his hat when he passed one.

	Pepys Island - South Seas Companion Place
		Pepys Island was the name given to an island in the South Atlantic discovered by the bucanneer Ambrose Cowley in 1684.
		However, Pepys Island was never found in the latitude given Cowley by subsequent voyagers including Byron, who in 1765 took possession of the Falklands in the name of the British crown.
		Byron was of the view that the Falklands were Cowley's Pepys Island as they lay three degrees further south of the latitude recorded by Cowley.

	SAMUEL PEPYS
		Pepys was close to the center of events, and in a position to observe the players in an extraordinary drama; in the years to follow he became a figure of considerable power and authority.
		Pepys wrote of the Plot atmosphere, "Such is the credulity of this unhappy age that no accumulation of evidence can be too much to support the most obvious truth." He recovered his post at the Admiralty, but the "Glorious Revolution" toppled James II and put Pepys into permanent retirement.
		Though Pepys, as she shows, is perhaps without peer as a near-scientific observer and recorder of his own experience, behavior and emotions, the self operates a little differently, and in a way less prominently, in his diary than in many that came later.

	Phantom Islands - Crystalinks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Phantom islands are islands that are believed to exist and appear on maps for a period of time (sometimes centuries), and they are removed after they are proven not to exist (or the general population stops believing that they exist).
		Some phantom islands arose through the mislocation of actual islands: for instance, Pepys Island was actually a misidentification of the Falkland Islands.
		California appears on some early maps as an island, but was later discovered to be attached to the mainland of North America.

		Pepys drank gallons of it, and with great regularity—though it might have been closer to nineteen-fifties dishwater diner coffee than it was to Starbucks espresso, given that a 1685 manual of directions for how to make the stuff specified “the third part of a spoonful for each person.”
		Bought from the islands in exchange for American meat, it was turned into rivers of rum in Boston distilleries; from there it could be shipped to Africa for the purchase of more slaves.
		One of the coffeehouses that Pepys favored was the meeting place of a quasi-republican group of politicians, and in 1675 the association of coffeehouses with political intrigue so unsettled the King that he tried—unsuccessfully, as it turned out—to ban them.
