"The Commune of London" by J. H. Round is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the origins of the City Corporation and the communal organization of London, particularly during the 12th century. It delves into various historical topics, including municipal governance and key events that shaped London’s history. This examination is grounded in critical historical analysis and showcases the author’s extensive research and theories regarding early English municipal life. The opening of the text presents a letter from Sir Walter Besant, which expresses gratitude for the insights gained from Round's previous works. Besant acknowledges the importance of Round's studies in clarifying complex historical questions concerning London's 12th-century governance and the roles of the clergy within the city. The author indicates that his latest work presents new findings related to the municipal organization of London, including a significant focus on the historical context of the Commune, the influence of communal movements, and the evolution of the Mayor and Common Council. Through this introduction, readers gain an understanding of Round's rigorous scholarly approach and the book's dedication to uncovering the intricate history of London's governance.
