Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis London's Story (Classic Reprint) by : Claud Mullins
Download or read book London's Story (Classic Reprint) written by Claud Mullins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London's Story The object of this small book is to explain London as a living city. People often say that London is so difficult to understand, and that its government is in such a muddle that no ordinary person can ever hepe to know much about it. That is not true. London is quite simple, if people will only look at it in the right way. The only real excuse for those who do not understand London is that London has never been properly explained to them. In this book I have tried to explain London so that every one can understand it - that is, every one who wants to for there are plenty of people who live and move about in London without ever wondering about its story, its government or its greatness. But I feel sure that most people are interested in the things around them. They like to be told about their Lord Mayor, their Borough Councils, their parks, tramcars and drain-pipes, their water supply and their electricity. For everything has its story. And London itself, as the biggest city in the world, has a story that is really full of interest. When that story is understood, everything in London becomes clear.

Download or read book Liber Albus written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of London: A Survey of a Modern City Similarly, in touching upon moral ideas, a book about places must be passionate in its attempt after truth Of rendering; it must be passionless in the deduc tions that it draws. It must let neither pity for the poor nor liking for established reputations and clean floors, warp its presentations where they bear, say, upon the Housing Question. Its business is to give a picture of the place as its author sees it; its reader must seek in other books, statistics, emotional views, or facts handy for political propaganda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making of London The value of tradition and custom as element-s of history is persistently ignored when the institutions or early conditions of our own country are concerned. They are admitted as valuable aids in the understanding of the history of ancient Rome or ancient Athens, of any of the Italic or Greek cities or centres of civiliza tion. I claim the same value for them in the history of London. They exist, and their existence means something. My interpretation of their meaning is guided by historical or archaeological facts, and I claim that this interpretation should have a hearing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scenery of London No attempt has been made by either artist or author to give in this book a stereotyped and exhaustive survey of London, that has been done better elsewhere; it is rather the book of two people who love London in all her varying moods, with her wonder, her unexpectedness, her dear familiarity. The questions, "Have I represented this or that or the other?" or "Will not the public miss so and so which always appears in every book of London?" have never once been asked. Artist and author alike have painted and written out of love, and out of their knowledge of the most wonderful city the world has ever known. It is rather as though they said, "Have you ever seen London like that? Do you know just that peculiar atmosphere that comes in the grey morning or wintry evening? Have you realised that the streets are glorious with the records of the great dead? Can you see them, prices, statesmen, bishops, nobles, men of letters, men of science, walking about by-gone London, the same city at heart but so different in aspect from what it is now?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unnoticed London Bond Street, because they are obsessed by the idea that to see London requires some occult store of knowledge and energy, and their eyes are sealed to the interest and beauty that lie around their path. Finally there are people like the old lady who, when she heard I was writing a book about old London, asked with astonishment, Is there anything old left in London? I hasten to add that I have not tried in the following pages to tell of every interesting place or even of all there is of interest in the places visited, - only enough, I hope, to make people go and see for themselves and have the pleasure of discovering the rest. I am not afraid that if they once go to the Chapter House they will miss any of its beauties: my dread is lest they fail to go there, from the vision of a plethora of things they think they have no time to see. For I want more than anything else to prick the curiosity of the travellers up and down the streets of the city who miss so much pleasure that they might have so easily, because they are not alive to all the interesting and un expected things that wait for their coming just round the corner.
