Excerpt from Some Account of the Worshipful Company of Grocers of the City of London In the composition of this work I do not presume to lay claim to much original matter; the records have fur nished me with the substance of my Account of the Com pany, and I had only in addition to search for collateral information to illustrate certain points which, otherwise, would have been obscure. The Histories of England, of London, and the old Chronicles furnished me with all I sought; and, for the Biography, I had recourse to County Histories, to the J ournals of both Houses of Parliament, to records in the public offices, and to old tracts.
