Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Guildhall of the City of London: Together With a Short Account of Its Historic Associations, and the Municipal Work Carried on Therein During the past half century the Corporation of the City of London has published a series of volumes compiled from its own archives, which extend back for more than six hundred years. These volumes deal with the City´s history, its ceremonials, and its ancient historical buildings; among these may be mentioned for our present purpose, Riley´s ´Memorials of London Life,´ ´The Ceremonial Book,´ ´London´s Roll of Fame,´ Welch´s ´Guildhall Library and its Work,´ Price´s ´Historical Account of the Guildhall,´ Dr. Sharpe´s London and the Kingdom,´ and the ´Calendar of Letter Books of the City of London.´ The earlier portion of the present book has been almost entirely compiled from the above-named works. The formal description of the Guildhall has been taken, for the most part, from Price´s ´Account,´ and the historical facts described in the short summary of the City´s history from Dr. Sharpe´s volumes; entire passages have been taken from both, and the compiler desires to make all due acknowledgment of the great assistance these books have been to him in the production of this volume. Although this work is chiefly intended as a Guide to the Guildhall, it is thought that the visitor would consider it incomplete, were not some information afforded respecting the more important events that have taken place within its walls, as well as that of the ceremonies and public functions, that are to be witnessed there in these days. A summary of its historic past has been therefore added, together with a short history of the Mayoralty, the Shrievalty, and the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council. It is also thought that a short account of the work now being carried on by the Court of Common Council in the government of the "one square mile" will be of interest, not only to the citizens, but, also to the stranger who comes within the City´s boundaries.
