NOTE ON AGAS’S MAP AT THE END OF THE VOLUME

Ralph Agas was born about 1540. He was a land-surveyor, and his chief claim to notice lies in the three maps or plans he made of London, Oxford, and Cambridge. Of these the one reproduced in this volume, entitled “A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster, the Borough of Southwark and parts adjacent,” was engraved by Edward J. Francis, and edited by W. H. Overall, F.S.A. Mr. Overall made a careful examination of all the facts, and believes that the original map of Agas was not made earlier than the year 1591, though it has been commonly supposed to have been made about 1560. Of the original, two copies are extant—one in the Guildhall, and the other in the Pepysian Collection at Magdalen College, Oxford.

In 1737 G. Vertue published a copy of Agas’s map, altering the original in many important particulars, which are enumerated by Mr. Overall in his account of the map. Among these may be mentioned the water-bearers seen off Tower Stairs and the Steelyard, filling their casks, which are slung across the backs of horses, by the aid of a long-handled ladle. In Vertue’s map this interesting detail is turned into a meaningless one, namely, a man driving cows into the water with a whip. In Agas the figures seen in the fields are in Elizabethan costume; in Vertue’s map they are in the costume of William III.’s reign. Other particulars omitted in Vertue are the royal barge in mid-stream off Baynard’s Castle; the Martello Tower at the mouth of the Fleet; the Chapter House and the Church of St. Gregory on the south side of St. Paul; and various other points. By noting these details, Vertue’s spurious reproduction can be at once distinguished from the genuine map of Agas.

{Transcription:
This antient and famous City of London, was first founded by
_Brate_ the Trojan, in the year of the World two thousand,
eight hundred thirty & two, and before the Nativity of our
Saviour Christ, one thousand, one hundred and 30. So that since
the first building, it 2 thousand 6 hundred 60 & 3 years. And
afterward was repaired and enlarged by King _Lud._ but at the
present so flourisheth, that it containeth in length from the
East to the West about 3. English miles, from the North to the
South about 2 English miles. It is also so plentifully peopled,
that it is divided into a hundred and 22 Parishes within the
Liberties, besides 16 Parishes that are in the suburbs. It
is planted on a very good soyle: for on the one side it is
compassed with come & pasture ground, on the other side it is
inclosed with the river of Thames, which not only aboundeth in
all kind of fresh water-fish, but also is so navigable, that
it as well bringeth abundance of commodities from all parts
of the World, as also conveieth forth such commodities as the
plentifulnesse of our Contry doth yield us: which both augments
the fame thereof abroad, and also increaseth the riches thereof
at hom; so that as it is head and chief City of the whole
Realm, so it is likewise head and chief Chamber of the whole
Realm, as well for our outward and inward commodities. God
prosper it at his pleasure Amen.

New Troy my name: when first my fame begun
By Trajan Brute: who then me placed here:
On fruitfull soyle, where pleasant Thames doth run
Sith Lud my Lord, my King and Lover dear,
Encreast my boundes and London (far that rings
Through Regions large) he called then my name
How famous since (I stately seat of Kings)
Have flourish’d aye: let others that proclaim.
And let me joy thus happy still to see
This vertuous Peer my Soveraign King to be.}

A Companion Volume to “London in the Time of the Tudors” +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | L O N D O N | | | | IN THE TIME OF THE STUARTS | | | | BY SIR WALTER BESANT | | | | _In One Volume, Demy 4to, Cloth, Gilt Top, 410 pages, containing | | 115 Illustrations, mostly from Contemporary Prints, and a | | reproduction of Ogilby and Morgan’s Map of London, 1677._ | | | | PRICE =30s.= NET | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | SOME PRESS OPINIONS | | | | ‘Most readable and interesting.... It is a mine in which the | | student alike of topography and of manners and customs may dig | | and dig again with the certainty of finding something new and | | interesting.’—_The Times._ | | | | ‘No lover of London can fail to be grateful to the late Sir Walter | | for his many carefully studied pictures of its ancient life, | | pictures often quaint and amusing, and bearing always the mark | | of earnest and minute research.... The general reader will find | | in this volume a world of interesting suggestion.’—_The Daily | | Chronicle._ | | | | ‘We are again reminded of the vast debt which London owes to the | | late Sir Walter Besant by the appearance of this sumptuously | | printed and beautifully illustrated book, the second volume of | | his great Survey of London—unquestionably his _magnum opus_, upon | | which his fame will chiefly rest.... A book which should be in | | the library of every one who takes an intelligent interest in the | | history and development of London.’—_The Daily Telegraph._ | | | | ‘A work of great interest, eminently readable, and full of curious, | | interesting, and original matter.’—_Westminster Gazette._ | | | | ‘The pen of the ready writer here is fluent; the picture wants | | nothing in completeness. The records of the city and the kingdom | | have been ransacked for facts and documents, and they are here | | marshalled with consummate skill. In surveying the political | | history of London from James I. to Queen Anne, Sir Walter Besant | | reveals himself as an unsparing and impartial historian, and in | | this respect alone the work must command our admiration and our | | praise. But there is also included the most vivid presentation of | | the story of the Great Plague and the Great Fire that has ever been | | brought between the covers of one book.’—_The Pall Mall Gazette._ | | | | ‘It is impossible to speak too highly of this endeavour to say all | | that is worth saying about London, and to say it in a manner which | | shall at once satisfy the historical student and attract public | | attention.’—_Yorkshire Post._ | | | | ‘Much has hitherto been written, both by way of fact and fiction, | | as well as by a blend of each, to describe London in its grievous | | trials of pestilence and flame; but Sir Walter Besant has here | | gathered together by far the most graphic and the most trustworthy | | accounts that have hitherto been penned.’—_The Guardian._ | | | | ‘The whole work is one of singular interest because the subject | | is treated with the lightness of touch and descriptive power not | | always attained by antiquarian writers.’—_The Record._ | | | | ‘This handsome volume furnishes a fascinating record, both | | pictorial and literary, of seventeenth century London, such as can | | be found nowhere else. To the student it will be invaluable; to the | | general reader with antiquarian interests and a taste for social | | history, a never-failing source of delight.’—_The Contemporary | | Review._ | | | | ‘There is not a dull page in the book, and the fact that the | | treatment is somewhat discursive makes the volume more delightful. | | We can give no idea of its variety and its charm, but every one | | who wishes to know the London of two hundred and fifty years ago | | will feel, as he opens this volume, that he has stepped back into | | that world of great events, and will live again through its civil | | discord, its Plague, and Fire, and its strange superstitions.’—_The | | London Quarterly Review._ | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | PUBLISHED BY | | ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK, 4, 5, & 6 SOHO SQUARE, LONDON, W. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

A Companion Volume to “London in the Time of the Tudors” +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | L O N D O N | | | | IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY | | | | BY SIR WALTER BESANT | | | | _In One Volume, Demy 4to, Cloth, Gilt Top, 680 pages, containing | | 104 Illustrations, mostly from Contemporary Prints, and a Map._ | | | | PRICE =30s.= NET | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | SOME PRESS OPINIONS | | | | ‘Turn where you will in his pages, you get some interesting | | glimpse which opens up the past and illumines the present.’—_The | | Contemporary Review._ | | | | ‘A handsome and very interesting book is the result, for which the | | curious reader and the student will alike be grateful.... Gives an | | admirable impression of the times.’—_The Spectator._ | | | | ‘It is excellently planned and very ably and agreeably executed.... | | The chief charm of this work is the pleasantness of the style in | | which it is written—easy, clear, and individual. To the accuracy | | of the ideal historian Sir Walter added the picturesqueness of the | | popular novelist.’—_The Globe._ | | | | ‘It forms a sumptuous volume, and is marked, of course, by minute | | research and enthusiastic interest. Will be a thoroughly engrossing | | study for all those—and they are now many—to whom the past of the | | Empire’s capital is a subject of the keenest fascination.’—_St. | | James’s Gazette._ | | | | ‘To praise this book were superfluous. Sir Walter was ideally | | suited for the task which he set himself. He was an antiquarian, | | but not a Dryasdust; he had the topographical sense, but he spares | | us measurements; he was pleasantly discursive; if he moralised he | | was never tedious; he had the novelist’s eye for the romantic. | | Above all, he loved and reverenced London. Though only a Londoner | | by adoption, he bestowed upon the capital a more than filial | | regard. Besant is the nineteenth century Stow, and something | | more.... This remarkable volume.... It is a monument of faithful | | and careful research.’—_The Daily Telegraph._ | | | | ‘Will be of the utmost value to every student of the life and | | history of London.’—_The Standard._ | | | | ‘Altogether this posthumous work of the historian of London is one | | of the most fascinating books which he ever wrote.’—_The Municipal | | Journal._ | | | | ‘It is a wonderfully complete history.... Will probably stand to | | all time as the brightest and most authoritative book on a period | | which is bound, by its very evils, to have a fascination for the | | student of customs and manners, and for the student of national | | development.’—_The Liverpool Post._ | | | | ‘The book is engrossing and its manner delightful.’—_The Times._ | | | | ‘A work of great value and interest; ... profoundly | | interesting.’—_The Westminster Gazette._ | | | | ‘Of facts and figures such as these this valuable book will be | | found full to overflowing, and it is calculated, therefore, to | | interest all kinds of readers, from the student to the dilettante, | | from the romancer in search of matter to the most voracious student | | of “Tit-Bits.”’—_The Athenæum._ | | | | ‘Stimulating, edifying, interesting, horrifying, in turns, the book | | has not a dull moment.... As it is the best, it will surely prove | | the most prized and popular of modern books on London.’—_Notes and | | Queries._ | | | | ‘The work is copiously illustrated with reproductions of old | | prints, and is altogether a delightful and fascinating guide to | | the Metropolis at an eventful period of its history.’—_Pall Mall | | Gazette._ | | | | ‘Of the present lordly quarto volume it may be said that it fairly | | represents that “Survey” which Sir Walter Besant conceived, and | | which he used to refer to as his _magnum opus_. It is a worthy | | literary monument to his deep knowledge and love of London.’—_The | | Academy._ | | | | ‘Besant’s interesting and valuable book.’—_Manchester Guardian._ | | | | ‘It is assuredly a delightful book to lose oneself in, and so to | | think one’s way back into a simpler and perhaps, after all, a | | merrier England.’—_The Bookman._ | | | | ‘A book to be treasured and studied.... The work as a whole is a | | notable achievement, and will stand as the classical authority on | | eighteenth century London.’—_The Speaker._ | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | PUBLISHED BY | | ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK, 4, 5, & 6 SOHO SQUARE, LONDON, W. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
