    LIVERY June 2018 BRIEFING Message from the Chairman, Deputy Richard Regan OBE Dear Liverymen, I present the latest edition of the Livery Briefing newsletter, which I hope is both interesting and useful to all members of the Livery. The Livery Committee website also provides a huge source of information and I hope you will not hesitate to let either myself or the Deputy Chairman, Victoria Russell, know if there are any areas of interest that you feel are not covered either in the periodical newsletter or on this website. Should you wish to contact us or contribute to future editions of the Briefing, please contact the Clerk to the Livery Committee, Gregory Moore, who will pass on any correspondence. Common Hall has of course been a major event for all Liverymen this month, particularly since it was contested by four candidates. Your Livery Committee considered various ways in which to modify the usual show of hands and visual count to ensure clarity, transparency, accuracy, and equity. It was hoped that a result could be declared on the day and I would like to thank Liverymen assembled for their patience, the candidates for their co-operation and the many staff who attended all three Halls which enabled this to be the case. We will be looking at how we can further improve the future arrangements where there is a contested Election, in particular the Count where a show of hands is specified under the relevant governing legislation and I would also draw your attention to the arrangements for 2019 and the proposed double Aldermanic Election in 2020/21.

    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 3.3 THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE IN THE CITY OF LONDON The right of voting in London varied according to the office contested. Such variations had arisen over time and were accepted as historical legacies, even if they were sometimes confusing to contemporaries. The following sections explain the variant elec- toral franchises for: 3.3.1 Common Hall 3.3.2 Wardmote (ward meeting) 3.3.3 London liveryman franchise 3.3.4 London parliamentary elections 3.3.5 Elections for lord mayor of London 3.3.6 Elections for chamberlain of London 3.3.7 Elections for sheriff of London and Middlesex 3.3.1 Common Hall The Common Hall, presided over by the sheriff, had the right of election for Members of Parliament and also for the offices of sheriff, lord mayor, chamberlain, bridge masters, auditors, and aleconners. This franchise, vested in the liverymen of the City’s several livery companies, had no residential qualification. As a result, duly qualified people from outside the municipal area were entitled to return in order to vote. The lord mayor sent a summons to the master of each livery company requiring him to notify the liverymen to attend Guildhall, wearing their livery gowns. The beadle of each company was supposed to prevent anyone not of the livery from attending. 2 LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY Those not eligible to vote were required to withdraw from Guildhall. That proviso was, however, difficult to enforce absolutely strictly. Indeed, the laughter said to have followed this order provides some evidence that implementation on some occasions was a problem, according to a report in 1837.1 In fact, between 1700 and 1850 all parliamentary general elections for London except those of 1830 and 1831 went to a poll, at which more rigorous criteria were applied.

    8 Government in Early Modern London: the Challenge of the Suburbs

    8 Government in Early Modern London: The Challenge of the Suburbs IAN W. ARCHER I TO JUDGE FROM THE CONTENT OF RECENT LITERATURE on the government of early modern London, an exercise in word association among historians would probably produce the result ‘Government of London: Stability’. The key components of the explanation for the fundamental orderliness of the capital are (with varying degrees of emphasis among the contributors to the debate): the concentration of central authority in a unitary monied élite combined with dispersal of power among local units of parishes, wards and guilds, high levels of participation in local and guild gov- ernment, a fruitful symbiotic relationship with the Crown, and the elaboration of sophisticated social policies to tackle the capital’s problems.1 A major problem with the emerging consensus, however, is that it rests overwhelmingly on evidence drawn from the area under the jurisdiction of the lord mayor and aldermen of London, and much of it is elusive about what it means by ‘London’. As the metropolitan area expanded, the proportion of its population subjected to the authority of the city authorities declined dramatically. Whereas about three-quarters of the population of the metropolitan area in 1560 resided in the city, by 1700 the proportion was only one-quarter.2 1 V. Pearl, ‘Change and stability in seventeenth-century London’, London Journal, 5 (1979), 3–34; F.F.

    City of London Spatial Classification

    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.

    ‘London, thou great emporium of our Isle’: Dryden writing the city Samuel James Burton Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of English September 2019 ii The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Samuel James Burton to be identified as author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Ó The University of Leeds and Samuel James Burton iii Acknowledgements This thesis began life as a weekly essay written in Michaelmas term 2013 for a special author paper on John Dryden. The original essay was little more than two thousand words in length, looking principally at Dryden’s two direct addresses to London in Annus Mirabilis and The Medall. That it transformed into a doctoral thesis owes much to the enthusiasm generated by Peter McCullough. My greatest debt is to my doctoral supervisor, Paul Hammond, for his constant guidance, encouragement and diligence. I must afford thanks for his seemingly endless patience with the most burdensome of students. Catherine Batt was also a source of sage counsel at moments of difficulty. This thesis would not have been possible without the generosity of Kate and Jason Gatenby, as well as the School of English at the University of Leeds.

Reflecting on the process now, as it nears its end, it is abundantly clear how much writing a dissertation is a team sport. None of this could have been accomplished without Dr. Thomas Cogswell, who patiently guided me through this process from start to finish. If the reader finds any part of this dissertation engaging, it is almost certainly the result of Tom’s ear for a good story, and his never-ending drive to see that story completely extracted from the source material. I owe Dr. Randolph Head a significant debt, not only for his support of this project, but also for modeling the kind of diligence and rigor that makes academic research possible. I must thank Dr. Malcolm Baker for helping me to see structure and space as primary sources, and to Dr. Kristoffer Neville, for teaching me to engage with these sources. I cannot forget to thank Professor Jonathan Eacott who provided some much need last minute support for this project.
