Excerpt from A Bibliography of British Municipal History: Including Gilds and Parliamentary Representation This Bibliography comprises books, pamphlets, magazine articles, and papers of learned societies, relating wholly or in part to British municipal history; in other words, to the governmental or constitutional history of the boroughs of Great Britain, including gilds and parliamentary representation. Town histories which do not deal with any of these topics, purely topographical works, and parish histories are omitted. The Introduction gives a brief survey of the principal categories of sources (the public and local records and the town chronicles) and a critical account of the modern literature. Fart I. contains the titles of the general authorities, while Fart II. is devoted to works concerning particular towns. The notes appended to the titles in Part I. should be useful to. students interested in the history of any particular borough, who are often inclined to neglect the public records and other general authorities; they will find all the references to a given town, in both parts of the book, indicated in the Index under the name of that town. An attempt has been made to give some estimate of the value and character of the roost important books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
