A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present study in English municipal history was undertaken at the suggestion of the late Professor Charles Gross of Harvard University, and completed under the direction of Professor Edward P. Cheyney, of the University of Pennsylvania. Association with the former remains a source of inspiration to every student fortunate enough to have come in contact with one whose scholarly attainments never obscured the sympathetic friend, the courteous gentleman; to the latter the writer is happy to be able to make his sincere acknowledgment for helpful counsel and suggestion placed so unreservedly at his disposal. Long ago honest Madox wrote that Whoso desireth to discourse in a proper manner concerning corporate towns and communities must take in a great variety of matter, and should be allowed a great deal of time and preparation. The results attained in this investigation are disappointingly meagre compared with the amount of labor involved. So far as the number of town and county histories is concerned, their name is legion; from a slender portion only however of the many volumes consulted has it been possible to obtain any precise information touching the political history of the boroughs in the period under consideration. Happily the old-fashioned method of treating local history is being superseded more and more by the printing of town records, and a number of excellent studies of this character have been made available; the more important of these have been noted in the bibliography.
