This lively, original and informative account of London, originally written in French and completed in 1578, occupies an important place among 16th Century descriptions of the city. The author s text often provides an original and informative view, and presents a good deal of historical, quasi-historical and mythical background. With a distinctly Protestant outlook, he characterises London as a city of peace, good order, good government and charitable institutions. He has much to say about laws and regulations and takes a special interest in London s legal structure.
