London and the Kingdom - Volume 3 / A History Derived Mainly from the Archives at Guildhall in the Custody of the Corporation of the City of London.

The volume presents a documentary history of London's interactions with national politics in the 18th century, drawn largely from municipal archives. It follows successive reigns and parliamentary controversies, municipal responses to party struggles, Jacobite plots and rebellions, financial crises such as the South Sea Bubble, high-profile trials and elections, civic ceremonies and conflicts between aldermen, the militia and the military, and the City's honours and remonstrances toward ministers. Episodes illustrate popular agitation, pamphleteering, commercial speculation, and municipal management of legal and fiscal burdens, while tracing shifts in political dominance from ministerial rivalries through Pitt and Walpole to later administrations. The narrative interweaves administrative records, legal proceedings, and contemporary public reactions.
