unusual facts about Diary of Samuel Pepys



Syllabub

The word occurs repeatedly, including in Samuel Pepys' diary for 12 July 1663; "Then to Comissioner Petts and had a good Sullybub." and in Thomas Hughes' Tom Brown at Oxford of 1861; "We retire to tea or syllabub beneath the shade of some great oak."

William Brouncker, 2nd Viscount Brouncker

He was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Navy in 1664 and his career can be traced in the Diary of Samuel Pepys; despite frequent disagreements Pepys on the whole respected Brouncker more than most of his other colleagues.
