For the three centuries which come under our notice each citizen was governed by his Guild, and to estimate aright the value of that organisation we must bring under notice the lives of those members, interwoven with the growth of the Company, who living guided it by their counsel and afterwards endowed it by their wealth. But eminent as guildsmen they were something more, living as they did not only for their Guild but for their city, the offices Of the one leading not unfrequently to the dignities of the other. It would, therefore, be impossible to write effectively either the early history of a London Livery Com pany or the lives of its eminent members, without describing, at least in outline, those corporate offices in the civic Government which on election they were bound to fill.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Early History of the Guild of Merchant Taylors of the Fraternity of St. John the Baptist, London, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notices of the Lives of Some of Its Eminent Members My Dear Master, I may perhaps in a few lines addressed to you explain to others who may be interested in the subject how it is that this work has been written for the Company. Some months since the issue of the ´´Memorials,´´ which were printed for the Company in 1875, came to an end, the copies that were taken off having been distributed. It then became a question whether that publication should be reprinted with such additional information as was available, or whether the materials which it contained should be made the basis of the ´´Early History of the Company.´´ The latter appeared to me to be the better course for two, not to mention other, reasons - one, not the least important, that it would be far less expensive, and the other that a connected history would present to the reader a more intelligible outline of the Company than the ´´Memorials.´´ Therefore I have written the history which is to be found in Part I of this volume. But Part II has been written from other inducements. It had long been felt by some of us to be a subject of regret - if not of reproach - that so little was known by the guildsmen of the present day of those guildsmen of earlier days, who were great benefactors, founders of schools, and liberal providers for the poor much of whose time must have been passed in the hall premises, and whose munificence can be best illustrated from our archives. When, therefore, the information that was available for the life of Bichard Hilles came under my notice not long since, I prepared a sketch of his life and letters. In doing so, I came upon other materials which had reference to Sir Thomas White, and these I proceeded to incorporate with it as one memoir of these two guildsmen.
