John Stow was a member of the Merchant Taylors' Company, but spent most of his life accumulating manuscripts and other historical records. His great work on London, published in 1603 and reissued here in the two-volume 1908 version edited by C. L. Kingsford, is a vital source for the city's history.

John Stow first published his "Survey of London" in 1598 during the reign of Elizabeth I. His detailed description of the city and its suburbs was an immediate success when it first appeared and has remained a popular classic of English history ever since.
