520			_a"The Corporation of London, Its Rights and Privileges" by William Ferneley Allen is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The text explores the intricate rights and duties of the City of London's governing body, focusing on its historical evolution, privileges bestowed through charters, and the ongoing debates surrounding civic reform and authority. At the start of the book, the author offers a preface explaining his perspective as a relatively new champion for the Corporation, defending it against criticism while highlighting its traditional role in managing civic affairs without undue interference from the central government. He introduces key themes such as the historical foundation of London's civic structure, the significance of charters granted by monarchs, and how these elements shape the contemporary governance of the city. Also detailed is a brief overview of the City's resilience against royal authority, underscoring the ongoing struggles for maintaining civic autonomy in the face of modern legislative reforms that threaten its established rights.
