The London City Livery Companies' Vindication is a historical book written by Gilbert and Rivington in 1885. The book provides a complete account of the history of the Livery Companies of London, which were established in the Middle Ages to regulate trade and commerce in the city. The authors argue that these companies played a vital role in the development of London as a commercial center and were instrumental in the growth of the British economy. The book also includes a detailed analysis of the legal and political controversies surrounding the Livery Companies, including their role in the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution. The authors defend the Livery Companies against accusations of corruption and elitism, arguing that they have always been committed to the public good and have contributed significantly to the cultural and social life of London. The London City Livery Companies' Vindication is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of London, the British economy, and the role of civic institutions in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
