Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Reminiscences of the City of London Ans Its Livery Companies The following work is founded upon a series of fugitive papers, published weekly in a Yorkshire periodical, during the years 1866-7. The Author´s aim is to draw the attention of the general reader to the history and antiquities of the City of London, and to show the dignity and value of many of its ancient corporations. In an age of restless and rapid movements like the present, the test of utility is ruthlessly applied to every institution, and destruction being the handiest and speediest of all remedies, no institution can be safe which is not manifestly and conspicuously useful. The Author hopes that these pages will leave on the mind of the reader an impression strongly favourable to the preservation of the powers and privileges of the great corporate bodies of the City of London, and their various dignified officials, and that he has indicated satisfactory reasons for many customs and observances which have usually been thought to have only prescription and antiquity on their side.
