London and the Kingdom - Volume 1
A History Derived Mainly from the Archives at Guildhall in the Custody of the Corporation of the City of London.
London and the Kingdom is a history of the City of London drawn mainly from the archives at Guildhall by Reginald R. Sharpe, records clerk to the Corporation, and published in three volumes in 1894. This first volume begins by asking how far the City owed its wealth to its position on the Thames, then traces its relations with the Crown and the nation from the Norman Conquest through the Middle Ages and the Tudor reigns to the eve of war with Spain under Elizabeth. Charters, loans, liberties, riots and plagues are documented from the City's own records, often quoted at length. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
