Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys: With an Introduction and Notes
We may go further and claim, as has been done in the Introduction, that the Braybrooke text gives to the general reader perhaps a truer likeness of Pepys than is presented in the larger editions or in the manuscript. For the disproportionate treatment of the accidents and lapses in the later renderings has without doubt been responsible for that popular judgement of the Diarist which is so unhistorical and so unfair. It is no matter whether it was over-niceness or superior indifference to tittle-tattle, or both, or neither, which helped the first editor to his conclusions but it is something that the result has been so good. And let us not forget that had Pepys intended to entertain posterity, he too would have edited his Journal.
