I've always been interested in the little I've read of Pepys, but I had no idea about this backstory!
Does anyone know when (if?) the offending passages got included in the published version?
From Wikipedia: “The complete, unexpurgated, and definitive edition, edited and transcribed by Robert Latham and William Matthews, was published by Bell & Hyman, London, and the University of California Press, Berkeley, in nine volumes, along with separate Companion and Index volumes, over the years 1970–1983.”
