ENGLAND’S METROPOLIS.
London I: It Was In the Earliest Day: of
Ira Existence.
We first ln-ur of London in any im-
porlunt ccnso as a city of Roman Brit-
ain. The incoming of the Saxon con-
querors is followed by nearly 200 years
of unbroken silence. and it is this long
period which has causcd some historians
to assume, rather than prove, that Ro-
man London bud altogether ceased to
exist. But when the light of history is
again rind upon this part of the newly
made England there is much to show
that London had. to a large extent. Pm'
served hot independence as a place of
commerce and civic organization. The
Saxon scttlcmcuts uppcur all round her,
and perhaps the little village of Char-
ing, within a mile of her walls, affords
the most significant testimony to the
Saxon scitimnt‘nts round London rather
than in London.
The Saxon conquerors appear as ‘polit.
ical masters of London and introduccd
into her ninnii‘ipul life the folkmoot,
which originally met in the open air on
a piece of land near Paul's Cross and
which is pcrhups represented by the

toms which lie imbedded in the manic-
ipal usages of mcdizevul timcs, many
Dcnnx'rotio innovations in municipal
institutions which appear throughout
the curly yours of Plantagenet rulc,
when the “common people” ovcr and
over again asserted their right to take
part in the municipal clections and
transactions of the day. But both the
sctllcmcnts round London and the po—
litical lordship ovvr London do not ap-
pear to havv nindo London a Saxon city
and its municipal institutions of Saxon
origin. The lI'X' mcrcatoria ‘of Roman
