Excerpt from Calendar of Letter-Books Preserved Among the Archives of the Corporation of the City of London at the Guildhall: Letter-Book B, Circa A. D. 1275-1312The greater part Of letter-book B, like its predecessor, is devoted to the record Of recognizances. In letter-book A the entry of recognizances was carried down to the year 1294. Here they are continued from 1294 down to 1312, but they are entered in a very inconsequential fashion, those of the years 1310 - 1312 taking precedence of the earlier recognizances. This confusion becomes worse confounded by entries having been made at each end of the volume, and by two distinct numerations of the folios, the old numbering commencing at what, according to the modern numeration, is the end of the book. It frequently happens, therefore, that the volume has to be reversed before its contents can be read. For the purpose of this Calendar the manuscript has been treated as commencing according to the modern pagination.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
