Title: A new view of London
Description: This is a 2 volume London directory of places, streets, churches, trades, and a variety of other items deemed important enough to document and publish in 1708. For feeding casual curiosity, these volumes are a treat. There are also a few bound in fold-outs like maps and the armorials of current Trades. But for more serious research, I have found a variety of oversights (omissions) in streets and notable locations relevant in 1708. Yet, in a few other cases, I have found a plethora of information for locations I thought would be glossed over. A curious set, all the same, that makes it about an 85-90% reliable period reference. I consider myself lucky enough to have a decent reading copy of these, 100% intact, with original binding. A scanned copy of these should be included in this archive.
