Excerpt from English Towns and Gilds An English city or borough, l in the early Middle Ages, is to be looked upon, in the greater number of cases, simply as a manor or group of adjacent manors, where facilities for trade or handicraft have led to a larger and more concentrated population than could have subsisted merely on the agriculture of the rural commun ity. In each Of these towns local customs grew up, just as the custom Of the manor existed in each village in the Open country but more highly developed, as a consequence of the closer population, mercantile occupation, and more active life of the townspeople.

Excerpt from Supplement Containing Additions to the 1925 Edition of a New History of Great Britain and Canada: Two Volumes in One Whereas the town was apolitical unit, the merchant gild was essentially an economic Or business organization. It existed primarily to regulate the trade and industry of the town to which it belonged; though it also performed some of the duties of a friendly or benevolent society, in looking after sick or needy members, and in making funeral arrangements for those members who died. It comprised all-the traders and craftsmen within the town, whether they were weavers, tanners, smiths, dyers, tailors, saddlers, shoe makers, or What not; and it saw, through its officials, that trade was properly conducted. It saw to it that no one attempted to undersell anyone else; and on the other hand it made sure that no one attempted to corner the market in any commodity. It was an admirable feature of the Middle Ages that even the merchant gilds did their best to ensure that only a fair price should be charged for any given article, and that inferior goods should not be placed upon the market. In some towns the merchant gild became very powerful, and occasionally it Obtained complete con trol of the government of the town. It, is a striking fact that the municipal buildings of the City of London are to day known as the Guild Hall. In other cases, the merchant gild early sank into insignificance. In view of the fact that each town has a different history, it is very difficult to make any general statement with regard to the merchant gilds at all. All one can say is that they were an interesting de velopment, in the way of trade organization, among what was at that time a despised and neglected part of the people of England, the trading and industrial class.

Excerpt from The Gild Merchant a Contribution to British Municipal History, Vol. 1 My thanks are due to the custodians of the various archives mentioned above. The town clerks in charge of the local records were, with a single exception, exceedingly courteous. My thanks are especially due to Rev. R. H. Clutterbuck of Andover and Dr. R. R. Sharpe, Records Clerk of the City of London. Mr. F. T. Barrett of the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and Mr. George Stronach of the' Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, facilitated my work while I was in Scotland searching for books relating to burghal history. Mr. Stronach has frequently furnished me with extracts from works in accessible in the British Museum. My friend, Mr. F. York Powell, has helped me with suggestions; and his encourage ment has stimulated me to greater effort throughout the progress of this work. The author has attempted to furnish certain new facts relating to the history of municipalities. The great need in this branch of study at present is the production of facts or fundamental data. Such data are scattered in profusion throughout the heaps of dusty records in the local archives. Investigators ought to make more use of these rich veins of precious ore.

Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
