About the author

This author entry refers to the Lord Mayor of London, the historic head of the City of London Corporation, rather than to one named writer. The office is one of the oldest civic roles in England, and publications under this name were often issued officially on behalf of the City, especially by the Lord Mayor and aldermen.

Works credited this way are typically public documents, proclamations, or orders connected with city government. In older texts, that can include responses to emergencies such as outbreaks of plague, making these books valuable not just as reading material but as records of how London tried to manage daily life, public order, and public health.

Because the credit belongs to an office that changes hands over time, there is no single personal biography to tell. Instead, the name represents a long-running institution at the center of the City of London’s history, linking each document to the authority and traditions of one of the capital’s oldest governing bodies.
