Excerpt from Liber Albus: The White Book To this transcript, in the moments of its pristine freshness, and amid the bloom perhaps of Mr. Robert Smith's popularity - who was very handsomely rewarded by the Court of Aldermen with a fee of thirty pounds - the name of Liber Albus, or 'White Book, ' was transferred from the old volume; and to this day the Liber Albus of John Carpenter is distinguished by the officials at Guildhall from its more modern and less sullied antitype as the Liber Niger, or 'Black Book.' In this copy, however, executed as it evidently was by scribes who knew little about Anglo-Norman, the errors of the original have been more than doubled in amount, and in no instance has a single omission in it been rectified, or difficulty noticed or elucidated. Of John Carpenter, Common Clerk, or Town Clerk, of the City of London, under whose auspices the Liber Albus was compiled, but few particulars are known; and of those few the majority have been but recently brought to light by the industrious research of Mr. Thomas Brewer; to the pages of whose ably-written Memoir of the Life and Times of John Carpenter (London, 1856), after borrowing therefrom the following facts, those who desire further information upon the subject must of necessity be referred. Carpenter was born probably about the close of the reign of Edward III., was brought up to the legal profession, and, after serving the City in an inferior capacity, in April 1417 was elected to the office of Common Clerk. His title of 'Secretary' to the City seems to have been peculiar to himself, and borne by no other civic dignitary either before his time or since. To his high credit, as being at once a man of integrity and distinguished for his ability and business habits, he was nominated one of the four executors of the will of Richard Whitington, the well-known hero of popular, but fabulous, narrative; and the original Ordinances of Whitington's Almshouses, still in the possession of the Mercers' Company, Mr. Brewer says, there is reason to believe were drawn up by his hand.

Excerpt from The City of London Within this area we shall discover many objects of surpassing interest a cathedral of world-wide fame whose golden cross, Shining in the sunlight, greets the wanderers as they return home sailing up the Thames; a fortress of great strength, each stone of which seems to tell some story connected with London and England's annals; many churches that proclaim the renown of a great architect; the Guildhall, the centre of the municipal life; the Exchange with its story Of successful commerce; great schools and monasteries; the halls of the City Gild to which London owed so much of its trade and com mercial prosperity; the Inns of Court, the houses of the lawyers. Moreover the names of the streets record the memories of the old City life, and are full of interest for observant and inquiring minds. In this City we will wander, and while we muse upon the past we will not forget the present and the future. The Londoner is the heir of the ages. His ancestors struggled hard for freedom and settled government. They had a keen sense of duty to the brethren Of their gilds, to their City, their Church, and God. Their keenness in trade, their vivacity, their indomitable determination to over come misfortunes, made their City what it is, the central feature of a world-wide Empire and those same qualities will enable the modern Londoner to maintain and uphold the heritage he has received from his forefathers, and preserve the glory that is London.

Excerpt from Stories of the City of London: Retold for Youthful Readers Stories either has been or might be made the subject of a separate instructive volume; but elaborations of History, with all their wide spread ramifications, are only really acceptable to the mature and already well-informed reader. To the young there must ever be a gradual acquirement of all sorts of knowledge, and those histories which are most diffuse, and those biographies which are most ample, do not always make the deepest impression on youthful minds. Remembering this, my aim has been to retell these true stories graphically, yet succinctly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Apothecary, Ancient and Modern, of the City of London The peculiar position in which the Society of Apothecaries of the City of London has been placed by threatened legislation, and by the new regulations of the Medical Council, induces me to offer to the public and my professional brethren the following brief history of our Society, from the time of its foundation to the present period and I trust I shall be able to convince my readers of the great benefit which the Society had rendered during its lengthened existence to science, the advantages it has conferred on the world at large, and the ability it still displays to carry on its functions for the good of mankind, whilst it upholds its own reputation, and the honor of the Medical Profession. My thanks are especially due to my friend Dr. Furley, for copious, new, and interesting matter with which that gentleman has kindly furnished me, and for which I desire to make my public acknowledgments. To John J. Merriman, Esq., also, I am much indebted for his kindness in placing Dr. Merriman's Memorabilia at my disposal. Other friends have afforded me some minor suggestions, amongst whom are H. W. Statham, Esq. Willington Clark, Esq., and H. P. Owen, Esq. To whom I desire to express my sincere thanks.

Excerpt from Historical and Literary Memorials, Vol. 1 of 2: Of the City of London Hyde Park Corner, as the great western approach to London, seems to be the most appropriate place for commencing our antiquarian rambles. The spot, too, in itself, possesses great interest. It was here that Sir Thomas Wyatt "planted his ordnance" in his famous attempt on London in 1554; and here also, on the threatened approach of the royal army in 1642, the citizens of London hastily threw up a large fort, strengthened with four bastions; in which zealous work of rebellion they were enthusiastically aided by their wives and daughters.

Excerpt from The Historical Charters and Constitutional Documents of the City of London This Charter2 not only confirmed to the citizens of London their ancient customs and immunities, but added to their jurisdiction in fee-farm the county of Middlesex, without homage, fealty, or service, on paying a yearly quit-rent of three hundred pounds. It gave them likewise the power of choosing a Sheriff and Justiciary from their own body, and of holding the Pleas of the Crown. Prior to this grant, the citizens appear to have been wholly dependent on the will of the king; but their privilege being now in a great measure guarded, they aimed at further securing their customs by converting them into written laws; and their arts and mysteries, which had heretofore been kept up by prescription only, were now established into companies.
