PEPYs, THE DIARIsT.
.Pronouncing the Name of the Garru-
lous Old Gossip.

Pronouncing the Name of the Garru-
lous Old Gossip.
Lovers of Pepys often dispute over
the correct pronunciation of his name.
The form Peeps is the one that has
chief authority on it's side, and it is
according to analogy in other like
spellings, such as Wemyss. pronounced
Weems Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearers
own time. 1t is also retained by the
representatives of Samuel's sister, the
Pepys Cockerell family. who are heirs
to his fame and some of his property.
The late Rev. ]. W. Ellsworth, an in
defatigable collector and editor of bal
LAOS. adopts this pronunciation in his
pleasing stanzas on "A Gossip at Dept
ford"
For instance:
The state has no servant of all whom she
keeps
Like my SQUAD little friend. who no la
Dor does shirk,
The pattern Of quill driving clerks. Sam
Pepys.
"A lStuA DlAS CACACut III thC uAoCuS-
sion is that the branch Of the family
represented by the Earl of Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer of the name has ever been
known as Pops. though Ashby Sterry,
respected member of the Pepys club.
follows this common but erroneous
pronunciation in this excellent cpl
gram. published in the London Graphic
November. 1891:
There are people. I'm told-some say there
are heaps
Who speak of the laxative Samuel as
Peeps
And some. so precise and pedantic their
step is.
Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys.
But those I think right. and follow their
steps,
Ever mention the garrulous gossip as Pepsi
