by G.B. Harrison
(Several editions, some containing more material than others. Originally published 1929, covering 1591-1594- later editions cover 1591-1600. Cosmopolitan Books, New York)

 
rofessor Harrison had a brilliant idea: to compile a chronological record of London gossip, diary entries, local news, and rumors. The result is splendid - we are used to reading about the doings of the great in a historical perspective, and it is wonderful to read about both the mighty and the lowly as contemporary people would have. Very highly recommended.
