'Stow's Survey' is a historical work readily identified by this
familiar name alone. John Stow (c.1524-1605) was a Londoner, a
member of the Merchant Taylors' Company, but spent most of his life
accumulating manuscripts and other historical records. His great
work, A Survey of London, was published in 1603, and is reissued
here in the two-volume version edited by C. L. Kingsford
(1862-1926) and published in 1908. Kingsford, a government
education official, was also a writer for the Dictionary of
National Biography, to which he contributed over 300 entries. His
Chronicles of London (also reissued in this series) was published
in 1905. In Volume 1, Kingsford's preface explains his editorial
practice; he also provides an introduction including documents
illustrative of Stow's family background and life, and a
bibliography of sources. Stow's text begins with general essays on
London's history, and follows with a ward-by-ward description.
