STEELE, ARNOLD F.

The Worshipful Company of Solicitors of the City of London. A Commentary on the Company's Surviving Records.

London: The Worshipful Company of Solicitors of the City of London, nd. (c.1966). "A perusal of these records has proved of great interest to me, and it seemed desirable that there should ben existence some kind of commentary on them which would be of interest to future generations of members of the Company, since nothing in the nature of a hisory of the Company has ever been compiled..But by reason of the absence of so many relevant records [many documents destroyed by enemy action in 1942/3] any attempt to chronicle the company's early activities must be largely chronological..rather under subject headings." (preface). Pp.viii/88. Red cloth, gilt title to spine and armorial crest to front, minor rubbing to front board. VG.
