Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. viii, 288 pages : illustrations (some colour), facsimiles, maps ; 26 cm. This lively, original and informative account of London, originally written in French and completed in 1578, occupies an important place among 16th Century descriptions of the city. The aut…hor s text often provides an original and informative view, and presents a good deal of historical, quasi-historical and mythical background. With a distinctly Protestant outlook, he characterises London as a city of peace, good order, good government and charitable institutions. He has much to say about laws and regulations and takes a special interest in London s legal structure.

Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm, viii, 288 pp, ills (some colour), facs., maps ; From the introduction: "In praising London Grenade followed a traditional mode, to which he contributed a distinctive international perspective. He also innovated by drawing on recent popular publications concerning British history and was influenced by a well-kn…own account of Paris. Moreover, in visualising the city and organising his material, he was among the first (if the not the first) of European writers whose approach was shaped by the use of recent maps. For Grenade himself, the most important of the singularities of London was the kindness and charity of its Citizens, who had welcomed and taken in the strangers and refugees, acts that would stand them in good stead at the Last Judgement.
