Excerpt from Numismata Londinensia: Medals Struck by the Corporation of London to Commemorate Important Municipal Events 1831 to 1893 The present work has been prepared, by authority of the Court of Common Council, upon the recommendation and under the direction of the Library Committee. In addition to a description of each medal, an account is given of the event which it commemorates; and it should be noted that this historical narrative is not in any case carried beyond the date borne by the medal. The account of old and new London Bridge was in print before the opening of the Tower Bridge occasioned an examination of the Bridge House records, and the bringing to light of a quantity of fresh and valuable information.
