Description:Excerpt from London's Roll of Fame: Being Complimentary Notes and Addresses From the City of London, on Presentation of the Honorary Freedom of That City, and on Other Occasions, to Royal Personages, Statesmen, Patriots, Warriors, Arctic Explorers, Discoverers, PhilanthropistsThe usage with regard to the admission to the Honorary Freedom appears not to have been uniform and settled down to within a period of about fifty years. The Chamberlain either waited on those to whom it was voted, at their private residences, or they came to his office at the Guildhall, and the entry was recorded there. Sometimes he reported this to the Court of Common Council, and a record then appeared on its Journal but no fixed rule appears to have obtained on this point. Some of the earlier names which occur in this volume as having been ooz'ea' the Freedom by the Court, do not appear to have taken up the same, and no explanation can be given as to the cause of this omission, excepting that, in military and naval cases, prolonged absence from England was Often followed by death abroad.It was subsequently ordered by the Corporation that the admission to the Freedom should be made only in the Chamberlain's Court held in the Guildhall. More recently, it has been the practice to direct the Chamberlain on these august occasions to hold his Court during the meeting and 'in the presence of a Court of Common Council specially convened for the purpose. It will be seen, inter alza, in the ease of the venerable philanthropist Thomas Clarkson, '1 that although the Lord Mayor consented to the admission taking place at the Mansion House, out of regard for Mr. Clarkson's age and infirmities, it was expressly stated that this was not to be drawn into a precedent; and when the late Sir Rowland Hill was unable, on account of ill-health, to leave his house at Hampstead, the Chamberlain and a deputation from the Court waited upon him with the Resolution in a Gold Box; but he was not recorded as a Freeman, because he could not be legally admitted while out of the City's jurisdiction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
