Book Description

Excerpt from The Citizen's Pocket Chronicle: Containing a Digested View of the History, Antiquity, and Temporal Government of the City of London; Its Laws, Customs, Rights, Liberties, Privileges, Exemptions, Charters, Courts, Companies, Public Functionaries, &C As it is not without some probability that London existed in the time of the ancient Britons, before the art of writing was known in England, and when any degree of knowledge respecting ancient facts could only be gathered from the songs of the bards, this extravagant origin of our famous city is justly rejected.
