This study of the City of London is something of a eulogy. Using the great events of England's history and its Kings as a backcloth, it describes how London - which became the inner enclave of the City of London - withstood attack from invaders, kings, governments and politicians, while quite jealously guarding its own separate and unique identity; and why the City turned down every invitation and cajolement to take over the running of all London as it became the centre for creation of all England's wealth and prestige.
