- Notes:
Lord Mayor of London in 1579, “the year of the great and general earthquake.”
“ The Lord Mayor of London has certain very remarkable privileges which has been religiously guarded and must be of great antiquity. It is only necessary to mention these here, but each of the privileges requires an exhaustive examination as to its origins. They all prove the remarkable position of Old London and mark it off from other cities of modern Europe (written about 1920). Shortly stated, the privileges are four:
- The closing of Temple Bar to the sovereign.
- The mayor's position in the city, where he is second only to the king.
- His summons to the Privy Council on the accession of a new sovereign.
- His position of butler at the coronation banquets.
