BRYANT, ARTHUR. Samuel Pepys. The years of peril.
London Reprint Society 1953 Hard Cover
309 pages, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. Reprint. First published 1938. From the dj, 'The third volume of this great biography opens with Pepys on the deck of Lord Dartmouth's flagship, the Grafton, outward bound from Plymouth. At the age of 50 - 'say 60,' writes Dr. Bryant, 'as years were then reckoned' - he is in good health, and is on a mission which interests him intensely. His friend, Lord Dartmouth, is sailing with secret orders to evacuate Tangier and destroy the town, fortifications and harbour. At Tangier he supervises the Commission which is to value the properties and consider the claims of owners for compensation. What incidentally comes to light about the conduct of the governor and the garrison moves him to an indignation. Now, in 1684, Secretary for the Affairs of the Admiralty of England, Pepys began to institute his reforms. The Navy, the ships, the dockyards the morale of the men - all were in a shocking state of neglect. Pepys took up his Herculean task, and Charles backed him. When Charles was succeeded by his brother James, Pepys acquired more power. The new King recognized his worth, and , having at the General Election been returned for both Sandwich and Harwich, Pepys represented the Navy in the House of Commons. He was now one of the most powerful men in England. But he was serving an unwise King. James II was to alienate his subjects and flee the country. The part Pepys had to play in the preparations to defend the country against invasion by William of Orange makes perhaps the most dramatic section of this book.'

BRYANT, ARTHUR The age of elegance 1812-1822.
New York St. Martin's Press, 1989 Hard Cover Very Good
450 pages, map endpapers, cloth, very good. From the preface: In The Years of Endurance and Years of Victory, I tried to trace the course of our ancestors' long struggle against the French Revolution and Napoleon. The second of these, published in 1944, left the tale unfinished with the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo in January, 1812, and the opening of the offensive which was to carry Wellington's army, first to Madrid and then to the Pyrenees. I have completed my ten years' task by taking the story to its conclusion at Toulouse, the Vienna Conference Table, and Waterloo. The war and its termination, so often recorded by Continental writers, has never been presented in its entirety from the British angle by a modern historian, though in different phases have been definitively treated in the great classics of Oman, Fortescue, Holland Rose, Fisher, Corbett, Mahan and Webster. Living in a post-war and revolutionary age, I have also tried to describe, in the second and longer part of the book, the impact of the bewildering economic, social and ideological phenomena of the time on victorious Britain.
