In the Annual Report of the City of London Asylum, Dr. Jepson mentions a case which proves, at any rate, that there are worse places in the world than county asylums, in the opinion of one who had some experience of life in them:—

The surviving will of William Gefferey (1503), a successful haberdasher with roots in the lordship of Gower, casts rare light on the world of a well-travelled merchant who established himself in the Barnstaple area of north Devon and in the city of London, while remaining conscious of his south Wales heriage to his dying day. It reflects his social attitudes and charitable instincts, while his gifts of printed books to churches in Swansea and north Devon suggest a cultivated person. He is to be numbered among the Welsh diaspora that gathered momentum in post-conquest Wales.

In the centre of the City of London one can find the Dutch Church Austin Friars. Thanks to the Charter granted in 1550 by King Edward VI, the Dutch refugees were allowed to start their services in the church of the old monastery of the Augustine Friars. What makes the history of the Dutch Church in London so special is the fact that the church can lay claim to being the oldest institutionalised Dutch protestant church in the world. As such it was a source of inspiration for the protestant church in the Netherlands in its formative years during the sixteenth century. Despite its long history, the Dutch Church is still alive and well today. This article will look at the origin of this church and the challenges it faced and the developments it experienced during the 466 years of its existence.

Britain, like any other open economy, is linked through exports and imports to the movements of prices and production in the world at large. But the emergence of the City of London as a major international financial centre forged an extra link between the fortunes of the British and world economies, which was still very strong in the inter-war period. It is appropriate, therefore, to preface this account of the economic recovery in Britain after the Depression with a brief reminder of the circumstances prevailing in the world economy at that time.

This concluding chapter considers the film London River (2009), which tells a specifically London-based story that addresses racialized forms of strife under the banner of “The War on Terror,” but also evokes traces of other cities and other histories. London River provides a comparative lens for thinking about the migratory history of Paris in relation to the racialized sentiments and subsequent politics affiliated with the city of London. The combination of the two results in an altered presentation of both “village” and “inhospitable” London and longstanding London imaginaries become global in their scope. The chapter ultimately develops parallel interrogations of what constitutes the “global” in the global cinematic city and “the world” in critical accounts of world cinema.

Different Parts

Over the past few years several papers have been written based on the results of surveys of marine traffic in different parts of the world. The general knowledge of the overall picture of the behaviour of ships at sea has increased considerably but there are still many aspects which need to be explored. One of the main fields of interest of the Marine Traffic Research Unit at the City of London Polytechnic is the use that mariners make of available sea room. For any particular area the navigational difficulties are going to vary considerably in situations where ships enter the area at different points, travelling indifferent directions, from situations in which the ships tend to keep to a number of defined routes through the area. If ships do tend to adopt a routing structure through an area, the next question of interest is how wide the various routes are, given no physical limitations for their width. The behaviour patterns may vary for different types of ship, and speed is another variable which may affect the situation. Answers to all these questions would be needed if one wanted to analyse the efficiency and safety aspects of marine traffic in an area.

In the 1860s and 1870s Charlotte Riddell was well-known as the “novelist of the City” of London. Too Much Alone (1860), her first narrative foray into the world of commerce and finance, is both a business novel and a novel of adultery. Focusing on how the text configures the emotional regimes of capitalism, this essay examines Riddell’s representation of irregular desires and capricious feelings in relation to what she sees as endemic in commercial society: not fraud, but insecurity and uncertainty, whether “glorious” or dreary. The experience of uncertainty, I argue, provides the point of intersection between the two narrative strands of business and adultery. Explicitly addressed to business people, the novel offers a lesson in sentimental education, a type of training in the ability to tolerate the uncertain, repackaged as an intense emotional experience.
