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 most important books.

The British Museum has the largest collection of works relating to municipal history, including many valuable manu- scripts; but this collection is far from complete, lacking especially many privately printed books. In the Reliquary (1882, xxiii. 60), it is affirmed that the British Museum does not contain one tenth of the topographical literature of Great Britain. It would perhaps be nearer the truth to assert that it does not contain more than three quarters. Many local publications which are not in the British Museum, will be found, in London, in the Gildhall Library and in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries. Many histories of Scotch burghs are accessible only in Scotland, especially in the Advo- cates Library and in the Signet Library. The best American collections of British topographical literature are those in the Harvard College Library and the Boston Public Library. The preparation of this Bibliography was begun in 1886. A selection, entitled " A Classified List of Books relating to British Municipal History," was printed in 1891, in the "Bibli- ographical Contributions of the Library of Harvard University," No. 43 ; and another selection, " Town Records of Great Britain," in the American Historical Review, 1896, ii. 191-200. It is unnecessary to rehearse the difficulties encountered in making this compilation, to enumerate the many libraries, public and private, which had to be visited, the numerous catalogues, bibliographies, periodicals, publications of learned societies, and other devious by-ways which had to be explored. Despite all this labor, I am conscious that the work is incom- plete, especially as regards the pamphlet literature. What I PREFACE. Vii have aimed to do is not to furnish book-sellers and book-buyers with an exhaustive catalogue of books, but to make the mate- rial which is most useful for the study of municipal history more accessible to historical students, and thus to help pre- pare the way for a better understanding of the development of town life in Great Britain. Among those who have kindly aided me, I wish to thank especially the late Mr. W. H. Overall, for facilitating my work in the Gildhall Library, London; Mr. F. T. Barrett, of the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and Mr. Frederic Boase, of the Library of the Incorporated Law Society, for similar favors ; Mr. A. W. Robertson, of the Aberdeen Public Library, for information concerning Aberdeen books; my colleague, Professor J. W. Platner, for the tedious labor of reading my proof-sheets ; and Mr. George Stronach, of the Advocates Library, whose generous aid has been of inestimable value in enriching the lists relating to Scotch burghs.

NO country of Europe has a soil more congenial ^ t e stu f n y ^ to the study of history than England. The England - genesis of her present institutions, their foundation in the remote past, the unbroken continuity of their development, the interest that the present awakens in the past and the past in the present, the urgent neces- sity of carefully studying the past in order to know and improve the present, all should form a strong incentive in England to the study of history. More- over, owing in great part to this very continuity of development, England has a collection of public records unequalled in richness by those of any other country of Europe. Thousands of well-preserved parchment rolls, easily accessible and full of valuable material, invite investigation. Nevertheless, England remains far behind some of her neighbors in the study of the past. This is particularly true of the study of municipal history. The object of this Introduction is to consider briefly the scope and value of the original sources and of the modern literature relating to the history of the English municipalities. 1. Public Records. Our records begin with a few passages in the Anglo- Angio-sa*>n * laws and Saxon laws and Domesday Book. Though the entries g relating to towns in the Conqueror's great survey are Xli INTRODUCTION. not copious, they throw some welcome gleams of light on the internal affairs of the boroughs. For the twelfth century we must depend mainly upon a few town charters 1 and upon the meagre data of the Pipe Rolls. 2 patwtRouL * n the fi rst half f ^e thirteenth century the public records multiply, and thenceforward afford us much assistance. The Charter and Patent Rolls, 3 which contain the privileges granted to towns and gilds, are particularly valuable, and are supplemented by the Confirmation Rolls, in which all the grants made by the crown to a borough since the twelfth century are often recited in a single document. 4 The early town charters are worthy of more attention than they have as yet received. They are valuable not merely for the history of municipal institutions, but also as a repository of old Anglo-Saxon legal ideas. For the boroughs, however progressive in other directions, still clung tenaciously to certain Anglo-Saxon tradi- tions long after the Norman Conquest. arrlen t f and r Next to the charters in importance are the Rolls other records. o f Parliament, together with their prolific modern progeny, the Journals of the Commons, the Journals of the Lords, and the Parliamentary Papers. 6 The material relating to towns in the Statutes, Plea Rolls, Hundred Rolls, Close Rolls, and other public records 1 See below, Nos. 78, 118, 124, 136, 1199, 1485, 2860-1, 3086. 2 No. 129. 8 Nos. 119-21, 130, 133, 709-12, 714. The charters were merged in the patents in 8 Henry VIII. There is a valuable collection of tran- scripts of charters and letters patent in the Inner Temple Library, Petyt MS. 536, vols. xiii.-xiv., from which Merewether and Stephens (No. 79) obtained many of their documents. 4 Historians have made little use of these valuable Confirmation Rolls, which extend from i Richard III. to i Charles I. Before i Richard III. the confirmations are entered on the Charter and Patent Rolls, and after i Charles I. on the Patent Rolls. 6 Nos. 44, 134, 287, 288. TOWN RECORDS. Xlii is scattered about in divers parts of the huge folio volumes of the Record Commission and in the pon- derous rolls of the Public Record Office ; a from them, by patient, laborious investigation, much information may be obtained, especially regarding the relations of the boroughs to the crown. 2. Town Records. The town records form the main source for study of internal municipal affairs. A few boroughs possess charters of the twelfth century. In a some- what larger number the town records begin early in the thirteenth. But in most boroughs the oldest muniments are of later date, the collective volume of material steadily increasing as we advance toward the close of the Middle Ages and into modern times. In many archives we find municipal charters, chamber- lains' accounts or other compotus rolls, assembly rolls or council books (i. e., minutes of the burghal council), court rolls, rolls of a gild merchant, and books (with such designations as White Book, Red Book, Black Book, Oak Book, Chain Book, etc.) 2 containing ordi- nances and miscellaneous matters. Many town archives have suffered much in the past Losses * * through from the negligence of their custodians. We are wS^r 3 thankful that the Black Book of Winchester and a andI P swich; Domesday Book of Ipswich are accessible in the British Museum, which has perhaps rescued them from destruction ; but if they had been properly safe- guarded, they would now be in their old homes at 1 Below, pp. 13, 22-9. 8 See below, Index, under "Town Records."

Assoc., xl. 131. 2 Hist. MSS. Com., xiii. pt. iv. 283. Two large boxes of early docu- ments relating to Bury St. Edmund's were sold as waste paper not many years ago : Journal of British Archaol.

These records were still in Mr. Sherren's possession in 1876, when Mr. Riley made his report for the MSS. Commission. They seem to have been regained by the town through purchase in 1879.

In addition to these devastating effects, large quantities were used for lighting the vestry fires, and others taken away by any persons whose inclination or curiosity induced them to fill their pockets ; what is yet left is a mass of dirty and useless rubbish." l Such examples of a lack of vigilance in the care of Surviving records. town records might easily be multiplied. 2 They make us inclined to wonder, not that so much has perished, but that so much has survived. Despite the lamentable losses due to apathy and carelessness, an immense mass of documentary material, reaching far back into the Middle Ages, still exists in the local archives. Owing largely to the efforts of the Histori- cal MSS. Commission, much has been accomplished during the past twenty-five years for the arrangement and preservation of these muniments. Custodians of local record-rooms are gradually becoming imbued were contayned divers evidences and writings concerninge the towne : " ibid., p. ix. 1 Poulson, History of Holderness (1840-1), ii. 138; Boyle, Hedon, pp. vi.-viii. Among these records were court books of Edward III.'s time and the Order Book of the corporation, commencing in Edward IV.'s reign. Shortly after the period when Poulson wrote, Mr. Gillyat Sumner, "by methods which it is unnecessary to particularize," got most of the town records into his possession. After his death they were advertised for sale with the rest of his library, and were purchased by the corporation of Hedon, who, however, refused to pay the pur- chase money.

XVI INTRODUCTION. with the sentiment of the ancient town clerk of Guild- ford, who, after transcribing the old Black Book for the burgesses, pleaded that, in the future, they should not cast it away, " appering old and ragged, but rather to accompte of him the more in that he doth proceed from your auncient predecessors, and afford him that favour to let him have abode amongest you, where he may rest safelie." l There is, however, still room for improvement. In some boroughs the ancient records are a filthy, disorderly mass of parch- ment and paper, placed in some garret or out-house, where they are exposed to destruction from damp- ness, fire, and theft. Lack of archi- j t j s a j so deplorable that there are in England so few municipal archivists. 2 The records are usually in charge of the town clerk, who rarely has the requi- site knowledge or training to appreciate their value, to supervise their re-arrangement, or to assist the in- vestigator in finding documents. It should be added, however, that most of these officials are willing to do all they can to facilitate the work of investigators. Accessibility The latter seldom meet with any difficulty in securing of town ar- J chives. access to the archives, though in some cases it may be necessary to obtain formal permission from the Common Council. In this respect there has been great improvement during the last fifty years. For- merly it was very difficult in England to obtain access either to the public or to the local records. 3 Before 1835, when " select bodies " had charge of the finances of rotten boroughs and monopolized the municipal 1 Gross, Gild Merchant, ii. 92. 2 I know of only one, namely, the Records Clerk of the City of London. 8 Palgrave, Proceedings of the Record Commission, 1832-33, p. 430, and Parliamentary Writs, vol. i., Preface ; Willmore, Walsall, p. ix. ; Hist.

XVii government, the archives in some of these towns were kept hermetically sealed; for the civic magistrates seemed to fear that a knowledge of the past, drawn from such a reliable source, might betray to the pub- lic their usurpations of power, and cause the over- throw of the aristocratic regime. 1 All this is now changed. Probably in no other country in the world are the national and town records more easily ac- cessible than in England. Even in the City of London, where some of the old unreformed spirit still survives, and the civic muniments are jealously guarded, the Common Council seems to be quite will- ing to unroll the records of the City for any gen- uine student of history, for any one who is really investigating the past and not seeking to change the present. During the past two decades there has also been Publication of ... - io * own records. much progress in the publication of town records/ though herein England is still surpassed by some of her continental neighbors and by Scotland. 3 The corporations of cities like Bristol, Canterbury, Chester, Exeter, Leicester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Norwich, Winchester, and York would confer a great boon upon students of history by publishing some of their rich stores of muniments, as Bath, Carlisle, Dublin, Gloucester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Notting- ham, Oxford, Reading, and some other boroughs have recently done. 1 The close corporation system must have helped to preserve the records of many towns from careless borrowers, but it may also have tempted members of the governing body wantonly to destroy certain documents containing a record of their transactions. a For a list of published town records, see American Hist. Review, ii. 191-200. All the titles in that list are included in this Bibliography. 3 There is no collection in England comparable with the publica- tions of the Scottish Burgh Records Society or with the Records of the Convention of Royal Burghs. xviii INTRODUCTION. 3. Town Chronicles. contents. The town chronicles of England form an unexplored field of historical literature of considerable interest. In the latter part of the Middle Ages and far into modern times we find, in London, Bristol, and other boroughs, mayors' chronicles or calendars, which, like the Roman fasti consulares, were drawn up in the form of annals, containing the names of the chief civic officers, together with brief notices of the municipal and national events which occurred during each mayoralty. These chronicles vary in fullness, some, especially those of London, widening here and there into a narrative of national affairs, while others are little more than catalogues of mayors, with a few meagre memoranda of municipal transactions ; on many pages nothing beyond the names of the prin- cipal town officers appears. Value. The London chronicles are of considerable value for the history, not merely of that city, but also of the kingdom. London was the " hub " of the realm, the focus of national life; much of the history of England could be viewed from the windows of the Gildhall. Owing to the important part which London played in the history of the kingdom, the civic annal- ists were not inclined to ignore national events. And for this reason London is the only English city which has produced town chronicles at all comparable with those of cities on the continent. Most of the English boroughs were, during the Middle Ages, politically insignificant, having, as an old writer expresses it, " gret frawnches [franchises] and smale liberte"; 1 despite their chartered privileges, they were subject to the control of a strong royal power. There were 1 Furnivall, Ballads from MSS., i. 99. TOWN CHRONICLES. XIX in England no independent city-republics or great leagues of towns, like those of Germany or Italy, that could cope with popes and kings. Each borough maintained a quiet, uneventful provincial life, absorbed mainly in its own local affairs, except when, at long intervals, its repose was disturbed by some great civil strife from which the burgesses could not keep aloof. Therefore we find fewer town chronicles of national importance in England than on the continent, nothing comparable with the splendid series of " Chroniken der deutschen Stadte." l The oldest mayors' chronicles are those of London, Age and prey- namely, the Latin " Liber deAntiquis Legibus," com- piled in 1274, and the French " Croniques," compiled about the middle of the fourteenth century. These were followed, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, by several English chronicles of London. 2 Ricart's " Kalendar " of Bristol 3 ranks in age and importance next to those of London. Many such calendars, or chronicles, were compiled in other boroughs during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and some of them were continued into the present century. They seem to have been particularly numerous in Chester and Bristol. Seyer, writing in 1821, says that most of those of Bristol were compiled within the last two hundred years, but that they were evidently derived from more ancient copies transcribed by various hands, having in general a great similarity but many differences in detail. " Several of the older," he con- tinues, " are written on narrow rolls of vellum. . . . 1 Edited by K. Hegel, 25 vols., Leipzig, 1862-96. Most of the monastic chronicles of England have little value for the study of municipal history ; some of them, however, throw light on the rela- tions of certain boroughs to their ecclesiastical lords. See Nos. 1193, 1198, 1481, 2485, 2712, and Gross, Gild Merchant, i. 91. 2 Nos. 1982-19913, 3089. 8 No. 1150. Most of the text is in English. XX INTRODUCTION. Many have been destroyed, but probably forty or fifty still remain, chiefly in families of long continu- ance in Bristol, of which about twenty have passed under my inspection." l At least five of these Bristol chronicles are still in existence, namely, Ricart's " Kalendar" in the town archives, three calendars in the Bristol Museum, and one in the possession of Mr. F.

Mr. Fox's calendar extends from 1216 to 1814; the three in the Bristol Museum begin early in the thirteenth century, and end in 1608, 1740, and 1774 respectively. Mr. Hudd prints the first of these three and part of Mr. Fox's. The historical notices in all of them are few and meagre. 8 Ricart's record of the mayoralties, which is found mainly in pt. iii. of his " Kalendar," was continued by his successors, to 1698, in the same MS. * No. 1987.

Tower, the household physician of Charles II. and James II., and a member of Parliament in 1681 and 1685. His treatise on municipal history has had a greater influence than any other in moulding public opinion, and in diffusing erroneous views concerning the development of towns. To any one who probes beneath the surface of this book, it is plain that the author wrote in a partisan spirit to uphold the royal prerogative, especially to justify the recent meas- ures of the crown against municipal corporations. Charles II. and James II. had nullified the charters of many towns, and had remodelled their constitution to suit the interests of the crown. The town councils, or select aristocratic bodies, were filled with non- resident royalists, who controlled the election of the parliamentary representatives of boroughs. Brady strives to show that municipalities originated in grants of the crown for the benefit of trade ; that all their privileges and authority came from the bounty of English kings; that ever since their foundation boroughs had select bodies (with non-resident mem- bers), to which was committed exclusive control of municipal government. Hence the king, their creator, had the right to transform these civic governing bodies to suit his inclination and interests. Thus Brady's object was to influence public opinion on one of the most momentous questions of the day ; and he succeeded. His specious arguments helped to give a legal title to the existence of select bodies. They now began to prevail more than ever before against the burgesses at large in controverted elections of members of Parliament. 1 There can be little doubt that Brady wilfully perverted the truth to countenance the pretensions of his royal patrons and to promote their cause. 1 Merewether, Sketch of History of Boroughs (No. 429), 64. GENERAL HISTORIES OF BOROUGHS. XXV Madox's Firma Burgi 1 is the work of a painstaking, Madox. truth-loving scholar. In his Preface he makes a state- ment which is still pertinent at the present day. " Whoso desireth," he says, " to discourse in a proper manner concerning Corporated Towns and Commu- nities, must take in a great variety of matter, and should be allowed a great deal of Time and Prepara- tion. The subject is extensive and difficult. In Eng- land much hath been said by Writers to Puzzle and entangle, little to Clear it. Insomuch that when I first entered upon discussing onely One part or branch of it, namely the Theme of this Essay, I found myself encompassed with Doubts." Madox throws much light upon the nature of the fee-farm rents, payable by the boroughs to the king or other lord, and upon the obscure subject of municipal incorporation. The solution of many other problems of town history is incidently aided by his copious extracts from the public records. In fact, his book is a valuable store- house of material illustrating this subject, rather than a comprehensive survey of the history of municipal institutions. One can also learn from Madox the value of dry records, the love of historical truth, and abstinence from hypothesis or hasty generalization. He tells us that " writing of History is in some sort a Religious act It imports solemnity and sacredness; and ought to be undertaken with purity and rectitude of mind." 2 The work of Merewether and Stephens 3 is the most Merewether and Stephens. elaborate of all treatises on English municipal history, and is commonly regarded as the best authority on the subject. The object of the authors in writing this book was eminently practical. They wished to influ- 1 No. 158. 2 History of the Exchequer (1711), p. iii. 8 No. 79. xxvi INTRODUCTION. ence public opinion in favor of municipal reform ; they fervently desired to undermine that huge accre- tion of abuses to the growth of which Brady's pen had contributed. the?r e wk. f The book begins with a long Introduction, in which the authors give an abstract of the results of their investigations ; these results are embodied in eleven propositions, whose general drift is to show that the bad features of borough government were abnormal and modern, and that the only way to remedy these evils was to restore the ancient municipal system. The body of the book, consisting of about 2400 large octavo pages, is filled with extracts from the Statute Rolls, Parliament Rolls, town charters, and other sources relating to boroughs. The arrangement is mainly chronological, the material being grouped under the names of successive monarchs of England. The result is a huge mass of undigested material. There is no systematic or comprehensive treatment of the nature and growth of municipal institutions, nothing to connect the myriad of details save the frequent and wearisome reiteration of the eleven propositions enunciated in the Introduction. The investigations of Merewether and Stephens are, in fact, circumscribed by these propositions, which were framed for the special purpose of promoting municipal reform. For example, though scores of pages are devoted to Domesday Book, no attempt is made to solve the question of prime importance to the student of history, namely, What change in the general con- dition and constitution of boroughs was wrought by the Norman Conquest? Domesday is interpreted not from the standpoint of the true historian, but from the standpoint of the practical reformer who has certain preconceived propositions to demonstrate. its value. A S regards the propositions themselves, most of GENERAL HISTORIES OF BOROUGHS. XXVii them are untenable. For example, the statement, so often repeated by the authors, that boroughs through- out Great Britain were essentially alike in the Middle Ages, is certainly erroneous. Any one who carefully studies the subject must perceive that there is a great divergence between Scotland and England in this respect. Municipal development in Scotland re- sembles that of the continent more than that of England in many important features, for example, in the federative union of Scotch towns, in their more autonomous position relative to the crown, and in the bitter struggle between their crafts and the merchant gild. J Even in England boroughs were not cast in one mould, as Merewether and Stephens would have us believe : on the contrary, there was great diversity in local institutions and customs. Therefore it is difficult and dangerous to generalize concerning the municipal constitution of England or Great Britain. Even more stress is laid in their book upon the proposition that municipal incorporation was not introduced until the reign of Henry VI. (A. D. 1440). Their object was to ascribe its origin to as recent a period as possible, because most of the evils of borough government were considered to be the outcome of the idea of incorporation ; if this idea was modern, then the abuses must also be modern. In reality, Mere- wether and Stephens prove only that the formula of municipal incorporation, the words employed in the charters incorporating towns, underwent a change in Henry VI. 's time. The thing itself certainly existed as early as the reign of Edward I. 2 Merewether and Stephens, in discussing this and other important topics, expend all their energy upon concomitants. It is far more essential to ascertain how the technical 1 Gross, Gild Merchant, vol. i., app. D. 2 Ibid., i. 93. XXviii INTRODUCTION. idea of incorporation originated, what potent affinities gradually drew the burgesses together into a single personality, and what municipal incorporation really signified after it came into existence, than to fix the date of the first charter of incorporation. In short, the materials in this book have not passed through the alembic of a thoroughly critical, historical mind, bent upon finding the truth in all its varied phases, but have been thrown together mechanically, to illu- mine only so much of the truth as is contained in eleven practical propositions, the most important of which are untenable. To uphold their views, Mere- wether and Stephens do not hesitate to resort to sophistry and forensic quibbles. In their book their real vocation is clearly reflected: they are practical lawyers pleading a cause. " Antiquarian research," they exclaim in their Introduction, " for the mere purpose of curiosity may have little claim to general attention ; but some advantage will be derived from recalling past events, if the improvement of our pres- ent condition be the practical object of the inquiry." This is a most laudable sentiment, but it is liable to abuse ; " antiquarian research for the mere purpose of curiosity " is better than research which to reform the present deforms the past. Thompson. Thompson's Essay on English Municipal History 1 is an unpretentious little book, consisting mainly of brief sketches of the history of St. Albans, Leicester, Preston, Norwich, and Yarmouth. These are separate essays between which there is not much coherence. Of the very few broad generalizations which the author ventures to make, the most important relates to the gild merchant. Misled doubtless by the abnor- mal prominence of this institution at Leicester, Thompson ascribes to it a significance which it did 1 No. 80. GENERAL HISTORIES OF BOROUGHS. xxix not possess. He asserts that, anterior to the reign of Elizabeth, " the governing body in every leading mediaeval borough was called the Guild " ; and, " to think of a civic community without its Guild would, in truth, be to think of the human body without the vital principle sustaining its activity and progress." His views on this subject have been refuted in recent years. 1 The gild merchant looms up more promi- nently than any other municipal institution of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; but Thompson and Brady both exaggerate its influence upon the burghal constitution, while Merewether and Ste- phens, going to the other extreme, underestimate its importance. Of the four works whose value we have briefly esti- Faults of ail mated, two (Brady and Merewether-Stephens) are warped by partisan feeling; the other two (Madox and Thompson) are written in an impartial spirit, but are mere fragments of a general history of munici- palities. The treatises of Brady and Thompson are now of little value ; while those of Madox and Mere- wether-Stephens still contain much crude material that can be turned to account. All of these authors, except Thompson, have devoted their attention mainly to the relations between the boroughs and the crown, and have neglected the constitution or internal organi- zation of boroughs. Not one of them made much use of the most important and most authentic source of local history, namely, the documents in the town archives. In short, not one of them gives a compre- hensive account of the history of boroughs ; such a treatise remains to be written. A book of this sort is much needed. Certain cardinal features of the medieval borough, such as thejirma burgi, the judi- 1 Gross, Gild Merchant, vol. i. ch. vi. ; Hegel, Stddte und Gilden, i- 57-72. XXX INTRODUCTION. ciary, and the governing body, still need illumination ; the influence of the dissolution of gilds and monas- teries upon the municipal constitution, the causes and results of the quo warranto proceedings of the seven- teenth century, and the political significance of the rotten borough system in modern times, have not yet been properly investigated ; and many good historical scholars have never even heard of the Convention of Royal Burghs of Scotland. Whatever may be said of the Middle Ages, 1 the modern period of borough history is certainly not lacking in political interest. 2 5. Histories of Particular Boroughs. smdcontents. The historian who, at the present day, undertakes to deal with any general phase of English municipal development, will at the outset have to lament the absence of good histories of particular boroughs. 3 The average town history in England is a farrago of heterogeneous odds and ends thrown together at hap- hazard, no scholarly work being displayed either in the selection of the material or in its elaboration. The bulk of the book comprises verbose antiquarian disquisitions on such subjects as the age of the town, the etymology of its name, and architectural remains, gossip or anecdotes concerning local worthies, 4 long 1 Above, p. xviii. 2 Some estimate of the works of such writers as Hegel, Mrs. Green, Gneist, Stubbs, Maitland, and Ashley is given in the text of this Bibliography. 8 " In England we do not possess one single complete and detailed monograph on town life : " Stubbs, Lectures on Mediawal and Modern History ( 1886), 64. 4 Such gossip often forms the staple of the local history, especially of its later chapters. For example, about three quarters of Wild- ridge's Old and New Hull ( 1889) is devoted to the careers of local worthies. HISTORIES OF PARTICULAR BOROUGHS. XXxi accounts of royal visits to the town, genealogies that are often inaccurate, a careful verbatim transcript of epitaphs in the local churchyards, and, in some cases, a chapter on the fauna or geology of the region. Though many town histories rise far above this level and contain much valuable material, it is difficult to find any which can be called model works of their kind. The mania for copying sepulchral inscriptions is Sepuichraiia not so prevalent as it used to be. But in a history of aiogy. Croydon, published as recently as I883, 1 the author attempts to cheer the reader by stating in his Preface, that he has not, like other less scholarly local histo- rians, contented himself with copying laudatory epi- taphs of the "more influential inhabitants," but that he has gone to the churchyard and copied all the in- scriptions. Accordingly this veracious historian de- votes 196 pages of his book to sepulchralia, while 56 pages suffice for all remaining topics. Again, some local writers sacrifice everything to inordinate love of genealogy. In Abram's edition of the gild rolls of Preston, published in i884, 2 he gives in full all the lists of members, but omits the laws made by the gild, because the latter are of no interest to him, and, as he states, of no use to genealogists. To a real student of history, this is the play of Hamlet with the Prince of Denmark left out. Town histories of England are also frequently marred d' a by an excessive antiquarian spirit, the fantastic play of the imagination in connection with the remote past (what Tacitus calls licentia vetustatis), inter- mingled with intense local pride. Often an energetic attempt is made to trace the history of the borough 1 Croydon in the Past, Historical, Monumental, and Biographical. Printed and published by Jesse W. Ward, Croydon, 1883. 2 No. 2647. XXXli INTRODUCTION. back to Roman times, to show that it is identical with Calleva, Mediolanum, or some other lost Roman city. A few Roman coins, urns, pots, fibulae, or other vestiges of antiquity, turned up by the spade, often form sufficient data for a long disquisition on the borough's ancient greatness. Madox, in one of his manuscripts in the British Museum, calls this "the Roman dance." He says that one of the first to lead it was Camden. 1 In another part of this manuscript Madox observes that " when men would fain say some splendid thing of a burgh and can find nothing to say, then they will say that it is a very ancient burough." 2 This characteristic of local historians is visible as far back as the twelfth century, when Fitz-Stephen, 3 in describing London, assures us that, according to authentic chronicles, this city was much older than Rome. That " the Roman dance " is still in vogue is demonstrated by the long disquisitions on Roman times in such recent works as Jarman's Bridgwater, Tomlinson's Doncaster, and Hedges's Wallingford* Neglect of The opening chapters of most town histories COn- medieval his- . . . tory. sist of vague conjectures concerning the antiquity of the borough, together with a heavy padding of gen- eralities concerning the Celts, Romans, and Anglo- Saxons. Then the writers plunge abruptly into the fifteenth, sixteenth, or seventeenth century. The town history is thus, in reality, often left a complete blank down to the end of the Middle Ages. For example, Jarman's Bridgwater, which is somewhat better than the average local history, begins with 1 Additional MS. 4529, ff. 141-4. Madox refers particularly to the mania for writing disquisitions on the Roman names of towns. 2 Ibid., {. 209. 8 No. 2008. 4 On this antiquarian mania in parish histories, see Rye, Records and Record Searching (1888), 21. HISTORIES OF PARTICULAR BOROUGHS. XXxiii various vague remarks concerning the Celts, Roman coins, Caesar's invasion, the Anglo-Saxons and Danes (including the story of Alfred and the cakes), an extract from Domesday concerning Bridgwater, an account of the lord's manor and castle, some al- lusions to the Black Death, and a few casual ref- erences to the burgesses; then the author launches into the history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Antiquarian and genealogical studies, or even exploration of graveyards and gossip concerning kings and local worthies, are good things in their proper place, but they should not constitute the essence of a town history. The growth of the civic constitution, the development of the municipal gov- ernment, is usually either meagrely treated or wholly ignored. Too little use is made of the town records, the richest source of local history. 1 In the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries more attention was devoted to these records, as the works of writers like Bacon, Boys, Brand, Drake, Manship, Speed, and Swinden testify. When local writers learn to attach as much value to the muniments in the town-hall as to family genealogies, tombstones, and Roman urns, we shall have better town histories, works that will inter- est not merely the inhabitants of the town, but also students of general constitutional history, works that will furnish data for a good general treatise on the development of municipal government Moreover, 1 " Grave est omnia ab archivis rimari, et incertum est quod non inde petitur : " Spelman, Glossarium, 344. Some local writers speak with scorn of the town records. Baker, in his history of Ludlow, p. vii., says that he has " met people who collected them, but never any one who read them." See also Nos. 978, 2421. On the other hand, several town histories have recently been published which show a thorough appreciation of the value of the records ; for example, Nos. 1263, 1390, 1601, 1745, 1856, 2411, 2795, 2920. XXxiv INTRODUCTION. every local history, properly written, will add to our knowledge of the making of the English nation, for every town is an important stone of that great edi- fice. The town government often anticipated and perhaps even guided the development of the national government. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BRITISH MUNICIPAL HISTORY. I. GENERAL AUTHORITIES. 1.

THE ROMAN AND ANGLO-SAXON PERIODS. The meagre sources for the history of Roman Britain deal mainly with roads and stations, or topographical and military matters ; they give very little information concerning municipal government. The most elaborate plea in favor of the continuance of the Roman municipal regime in Eng- land after the Anglo-Saxon Conquest will be found in Coote's Romans of Britain; this theory is also maintained by Wright. Their arguments are not convincing, and have been rejected by Freeman, Gomme, Green, Scrutton, and Stubbs (Constitutional History, 44)- There are some modern works relating to particular towns in the Roman period, such as H. M. Scarth's Aqua Solis, or Notices of Roman Bath, 1864; C. R. Smith's Illustrations of Roman London, 1859; C. Wellbeloved's Eburacum,or York under the Romans, 1842; Whitaker's Manchester (No. 2368); T. Wright's Uriconium, 1872; see also below, No. 2009. These books deal mainly with topographical, military, and archaeological matters. For some account of the sources and modern literature relating to Roman Britain, see K. Elze, Grundriss der Englischen Philologie, Halle, 1887, pp. 101-108; T. Mommsen and J. Marquardt, Manuel des Antiquites Romaines edited by G. Humbert, Paris, 1892, ix. 153-4. For the Anglo-Saxon period, also, our sources of information are meagre. The principal sources are the Anglo-Saxon laws (Nos. 95-96) and Domes- day Book (No. 123): supplemented by a few stray passages in the Anglo- Saxon Chronicles; Kemble's Codex Diplontaticus, 6 vols., 1839-46; Birch's Cartularium, 3 vols., 1885-93 ; and Thorpe's Diplomatarium, 1865. Kemble, in his Saxons in England, gives a detailed account of the history of towns, but it is vague and based largely on continental analo- gies of a later period ; there is a good short account in Hegel's Stadte (No. 87), and in Stubbs's Constitutional History (No. 94), 44.

The principal general sources for the study of this period are Domesday Book and the publications of the Record Commission. A good account of these public records will be found in S. R. Scargill-Bird's Guide to the Documents in the Public Record Office (2nd edition, 1896), and in C. P. Cooper's Account of the most important Public Records (2 vols., 1832). The archives of particular towns are also of great value ; some of the local records of the thirteenth century have been preserved, but in most towns the oldest muniments are of later date. The printed collections are men- tioned in Part II. of this Bibliography, and many extracts are given in the Reports of the Historical MSS. Commission (No. 62). The best modern authorities besides Hegel and Stubbs (Nos. 87, 94) are Mrs. Green, and Pollock and Maitland (Nos. 153, 164). 22 LATER MIDDLE AGES. [PART L a. PUBLIC RECORDS, ETC.

NINETEENTH CENTURY : MUNICIPAL REFORM. a. General, Nos. 2oia-232. b. Municipal Reform, 1835, Nos. 233-259. c. The Act of 1882, Nos. 260-266. d. The Act of 1888: County Councils, Nos. 267-2843. The most valuable parliamentary papers for the study of this period are the various Reports on Municipal Corporations (Nos. 59-61). The impor- tant legislative changes of 1835, 1882, and 1888 are recorded in the Public General Statutes (Nos. 68-69). The First Schedule of the Act of 1882 (45 & 46 Viet. c. 50) enumerates all the older acts relating to municipal corporations ; see also Index of Statutes (No. 75), under " Boroughs." The discussions in Parliament concerning these legislative changes will be found in Hansard's Debates, and more briefly in the Annual Register. There is no good general history of municipal development during this century. May and Walpole (Nos. 246, 258) give a good short account of 7 .] GENERAL. 39 the reform of 1835. Vine (No. 228) gives a detailed but dry survey of municipal affairs for the years 1835-79. Some of the works mentioned in 8/" also throw much light on the government of boroughs in the first decades of this century. One of the best accounts of the present condition of municipal institutions is furnished by Shaw (No. 225). The French and Italian books mentioned in 7 a contain some interesting comparisons between English and continental municipalities. Many works dealing with the details of municipal administration are mentioned in No. 2a. a. GENERAL. 20la. ARMINJON, PIERRE. L' administration locale de 1'Angleterre. Paris, 1895. 8. Ch. v.

Many of the works enumerated are valuable for the study of the internal municipal development, with which indeed the representa- tive history is closely connected. This is notably true of the cases of controverted elections discussed in the Journals of the House of Commons (No. 287) and in the collections of reports ( 8 e). For minor additions to the lists given below, seethe old printed catalogue of the British Museum Library, vol. v. (London, 1817), under the word "Parliament"; Lowndes, Bibliographer's Manual (1861), 1781-86; R. Sims, Manual for the Genealogist, Topographer, etc. (1856), 148-58; Parry, Parliaments and Councils (No. 306), Preface, 8-29; R.

The chief sources for the study of the medieval representation of boroughs are the Parliamentary Writs (Nos. 292, 293), the Rolls of Par- liament (No. 134), and the Peers' Reports (No. 295). For modern times the principal sources are the Journals of the House of Commons (No. 287), the Statutes ( 2 b\ and Hansard's Debates. 285. * HANSARD, T. C.

Gneist's English Parliament (No. 299) and the Peers' Reports (No. 295) contain the best general accounts of parliamentary history. Smith's work (No. 309) is fuller than Gneist's, but much of his material is borrowed from Gneist, Stubbs, and other writers. The most useful books for the study of the medieval period are the Peers' Reports, Stubbs's Constitutional History (No. 94), and Riess's Wahlrecht (No. 341). The treatise of Merewether and Stephens (No. 79) contains much material, especially for the modern period. The works of Oldfield and Willis (Nos. 304, 315, are in large part antiquated. 296.

The question of parliamentary reform was first raised in practical shape by Mr. Pitt, who in 1782 introduced resolutions in favor of reform ; but no definite action was taken until 1832. In each of the years 1852, 1854, 1859, 1860, 1864, 1865, and 1866 reform bills were introduced, but were ultimately withdrawn or defeated. The important acts of 1832, 1867, and 1884-5 will be found in the Statutes (No. 68) ; the discussions in Parliament, in Hansard's Debates, and more briefly in the Annual Register (especially for the years 1831-2, 1866-7, 1884-5). The best general histories of the various reforms are those of Heaton and Murdoch. For a list of all the acts relating to parliamentary representation, see the Index of Statutes (No. 75), under " House of Commons." No attempt is made to give an exhaustive list of all the books and pamphlets dealing with parliamentary reform ; only those works are named which throw light on the parliamentary representation of boroughs.

Many documents relating to religious and merchant gilds are printed by Smith (No. 537) and by Gross (No. 541). A general collection of the ordinances of craft gilds is needed ; abundant material for such a work is accessible in the Public Record Office and in the town archives. Many ordinances of the crafts are printed in the histories of particular towns. (See below, Index, under " Gilds.") No good comprehensive history of gilds has as yet been written. Brentano's sketch is brilliant, but unreliable. Ashley, Cunningham, and Seligman give good short accounts. The most detailed account of the gild merchant has been written by Gross ; and the best account of the craft gilds, by Ashley. Hegel's work is valuable, especially for the rela- tions of the gilds to the origin of municipal government; Von Ochen- kowski throws much light upon the relations of the crafts to the town authorities. 84 GILDS.

Few of the county histories deal satisfactorily with the boroughs ; but in some cases they contain the only account of the history of a town that has been written, and in other cases documentary material not printed else- where. The tables of contents given below under the various titles include only those boroughs the municipal history of which is considered in the county histories. The older general topographical works, like Leland's Itinerary and Collectanea, Camden's Britannia, and Nichols's Bibliotheca Topographica, devote little attention to municipal history. Such portions of these works as fall within the scope of this Bibliography are included in Part II. under the names of particular towns. Some of the publications of the county societies are of considerable value, and much use has been made of them below in Part II. For works relating to the parliamentary history of counties, see 8 c. For county histories of Ireland and Scotland, see 12-13. For county bibliographies, see I. a, GENERAL. 568.

Miscellaneous, Nos. 1659-1676. There is no dearth of books relating to Glasgow, but there is still room for a good history of the burgh. The elaborate works edited by Gordon and Pagan (Nos. 1635, 1636) contain much undigested material. One of the best accounts of municipal history is furnished by MacGregor (No. 1638), and for recent times the work of Bell and Paton (No. 1627) is ex- cellent. The records edited by Marwick (Nos. 1617, 1620) are of great value, and the Memorabilia (No. 1623) are useful. Among the histories of gilds those of most importance are Campbell's Cordiners, Crawfurd's Trades' House, and Hill's Merchants' House (Nos. 1648, 1649, 1658). a. Town Records. 1613.

Various reform bills have been introduced during the past fifty years, notably in the years 1852, 1856, 1858-60, 1867-70, 1875, 1880, 1884-85 ; the discussions in Parliament are set forth in Hansard's Debates. The strongest plea in favor of reform will be found in Firth's Municipal London (No. 2187) ; and the ablest defence of the corporation in Scott's Vindication (No. 2229). See Nos. 2o83-2ioia.
