Book excerpt: "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 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, 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." --Preface.

Book excerpt: Drawing on the remarkably rich documentary and graphic collections of the City of London, this unique survey tells the history of London, and its role on the wider national and world stage, through a selection of 100 treasures. These may be iconic items connected with famous people or important moments in history, such as William I's confirmation of the City's liberties, issued in 1067, or the City's copy of Magna Carta, issued in 1297; or they may be less obviously remarkable items that offer a unique insight into aspects of London life, such as trade cards, plans for the Thames Barrier or Elizabeth David's annotated cookery books. This beautifully produced book is arranged in five sections: the National and World Stage; the Engine of Finance; London Life; Growth and Renewal; the Arts and Sciences. Each section opens with an introductory text that is followed by scholarly entries on individual items. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of the City (and London more generally) as well as in books, documents and art. AUTHOR: David Pearson is Director of Libraries, Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery for the City of London and has previously worked in several major academic and research libraries, including the British Library, the National Art Library and the University of London Library. He has an extensive record of lecturing and publishing, and his books include Provenance Research in Book History (1994), English Bookbinding Styles (2005) and Books as History (2008).
