Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the Borough of Nottingham, Vol. 7: Being a Series of Extracts From the Archives of the Corporation of Nottingham, 1760-1800 The late Mr. E. L. Guilford continued his work on the preparation of a seventh volume, and it was his intention that this should com plete the series to the year of municipal reform, 1835; but his departure from Nottingham, when he gave up his appointment as Lecturer in History at University College for an important post with the bbc, much curtailed the time he could give to the work of abstracting and editing. The volume as planned by Mr. Guilford was almost completed in the early part of 1945, but as it had also become very necessary to overhaul the many files and boxes of Corporation Records and Charters, it was decided to concentrate the work into the hands of a full time officer of the Corporation. The Finance and General Purposes Committee decided that this officer should be the City Librarian. Mr. Guilford's manuscript as explained by the Editors in the Introduction, has been considerably expanded, and it has been necessary to divide it into two parts the first (the present volume) covering the period 1760-1800, and the second (volume eight, in preparation) covering the period 1800 - 1835. During my service with the Corporation, as Deputy Town Clerk and then as Town Clerk, there have been many occasions when the published volumes of Records have been of much practical value, and the completion of the series will add to this value. It has also come to my notice that the work has been used considerably by students of history and economics over the English speaking world. It has given me much pleasure, therefore, to watch the growth of the present volume and to take an active part in its publication.
