Publisher's Synopsis
A Lord Mayor's Diary, 1906-7 offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and duties of a Lord Mayor of London at the beginning of the 20th century. Authored by William Purdie Treloar, this diary provides a unique primary source for understanding the civic and social landscape of Edwardian London.
This edition also includes the official diary of Micajah Perry, Lord Mayor of London in 1738-9, providing a rare opportunity to compare and contrast the roles and responsibilities of the office across different centuries. Perry's diary offers insights into the political and commercial world of 18th-century London, a time of significant growth and change for the city.
Together, these diaries offer invaluable perspectives on the history of London, the evolution of its governance, and the enduring importance of its civic leadership.
