Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The City of London If Minor Canon Westlake has found some difficulty in compressing the story of Westminster into one volume of this series, what can be said of mine, the greater task of recording this history of the great City within so small a compass? But the deed has been done, and I hope that I have omitted nothing of importance in the annals of London. If any of my readers fail to discover what they need within these pages, "Of y. charitye" I would crave that they would attribute this to lack of space, and not to want of research or care, or knowledge. Of the making of books on London there is no end, but its treasures of history are inexhaustible. In the Library and Museum at the Guildhall, in the Halls of the City Companies, in many wanderings through its streets and lanes, and churches, alone and in company of learned societies that concern themselves with unravelling its mysteries, I have gained much information, and in many books which I have collected, only a small portion of which I have included in the bibliography. Novel theories have been started with regard to the origin of London, of its continuance from Roman times during the whole Saxon period to the present day. It seems to me to be an idea founded on a very slender basis, and one that I have been unable to follow in these pages.
