Description:Excerpt from Some Account of the Worshipful Company of Skinners of London: Being the Guild or Fraternity of Corpus Christi The following pages have grown out of a Paper which was read at a Meeting of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, held at Skinners' Hall, on the 28th April, 1874. It was afterwards published in the Transactions of the Society, with considerable additions, and privately distributed, principally among members of the Court of the Skinners' Company. It is now out of print. In response to requests of many friends that an enlarged and revised edition should be prepared, it seemed to me desirable to improve upon my original publication by adding extracts from the old Court Books and the Renter Wardens' accounts of the 16th and 17th centuries, and to supplement the early memorials of the Skinners' Company (which form the greater part of the volume) with some account of the Company's latter-day work, in connection chiefly with education. I have much pleasure in acknowledging my obligation to the Court of the Company for assisting in the publication of the book, and in expressing my sincere and hearty thanks to all who have individually taken part in its compilation. Among my colleagues on the Court I wish to mention the present Master of the Company, Mr. John Poland F.R.C.S., and Mr. H. A. Wix, L.L.B., Mr. L. B. Sebastian, B.C.L., M.A., His Honour Judge Masterman, D.C.L., and Mr. C. H. Dorman, Past Masters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
