Pepys's career was multi-faceted. Although he is remembered primarily for his "Diary", his accomplishments as Secretary of the Admiralty in elliminating abuses in the royal Navy deserve no less recognition. Tanner's examination of Pepys's record as a high naval administrator shows him to have been a man of sound judgment, of great administrative capacity and energy and of extraordinary shrewness and tact in dealing with men.
