London Directory for 1677, the Earliest Known List of the London Merchants. See Review in the Times, Jan. 22.
⁂ This curious little volume has been reprinted verbatim from one of the only two copies known to be in existence. It contains an Introduction pointing out some of the principal persons mentioned in the list. For historical and genealogical purposes the little book is of the greatest value. Herein will be found the originators of many of the great firms and co-partnerships which have prospered through two pregnant centuries, and which exist some of them in nearly the same names at this day. Its most distinctive feature is the early severance which it marks of “goldsmiths that keep running cashes,” precursors of the modern bankers, from the mass of the merchants of London.
