The library and the original book-cases were not transferred to Magdalene
College until 1724, and there they have been preserved in safety ever
since.

A large number of Pepys's manuscripts appear to have remained unnoticed in
York Buildings for some years. They never came into Jackson's hands, and
were thus lost to Magdalene College. Dr. Rawlinson afterwards obtained
them, and they were included in the bequest of his books to the Bodleian
Library.

Hales, Lely, and Kneller. Hales's portrait, painted in 1666, is now in
the National Portrait Gallery, and an etching from the original forms the
frontispiece to this volume. The portrait by Lely is in the Pepysian
Library. Of the three portraits by Kneller, one is in the hall of
