Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Cutlers' Company of London and of the Minor Cutlery Crafts, Vol. 1: With Biographical Notices of Early London Cutlers; From Early Times to the Year 1500 The present volume extends to the year 1500, but it has occasionally been found convenient to trespass into the Sixteenth century. Illustrative documents, transcribed in full with translations where necessary, are printed as Evidences in the Appendix, the contractions being extended where the sense is clear. References in the text to the folio or membrane Of records indicate a personal examination of the original; when information is obtained from a printed source the reference is to volume and page. Foot-notes have been avoided as far as possible. Personally I find them wearisome, and prefer to endure interruptions in the text by the insertion of references. It has not been possible to link up all the references to an individual or an event, but this will be remedied by the index.
