Liber Albus: The White Book of the City of London, Part 1419

The review from Amazon.com reviewer
INTRODUCTION.

It is a fact, not the less true because not universally known , that there is no city in existence in possession of a
collection of archives so ancient and so complete as that belonging to the
City of London, preserved in the Record-Room at Guildhall. For nearly
six centuries, in the sequence of Letter-Books, Journals, and Repertories,
its officials have kept an unbroken record of all transactions and events,
social, political, ecclesiastical, legal, military, naval, local, and municipal,
in which, closely or remotely, the City in its corporate character has been
interested. Throughout the chances and changes of this long and eventful
course of time, its wars, its revolutions, its rebellions, its insurrections, its
famines, its pestilences, and its conflagrations, to the lasting honour of the
Corporation these invaluable memorials of far distant ages have been pre-
served, comparatively unscathed ; in companionship too with other records,
in some instances probably of still earlier date, and with thousands of
deeds, wills, enrolments, and other documents, which have been accu-
mulating upon the shelves of its muniment-room for little short of seven
hundred years.

From these archives, as they existed in the year of Our Lord 1419,
combined probably with other sources of information now lost or unknown,
the Liber Albm, or 'White Book/ is a compilation, — or 'Repertory/ as
the Compiler in his brief Procemium seems inclined to call it; — pre-
pared in the last Mayoralty of
Richard Whitington, for the instruction and guidance of those to whom,
before they should have gained the experience of old age, the governance
of the City, or the management of its affairs and interests, might under
circumstances of emergency be entrusted.
