~Lord Mayor’s Day.~
_To the Editor of the Every-Day Book._
Sir,
Enclosed are official printed copies of the two precepts issued previous
to lord mayor’s day, for the purpose of informing the master and wardens
of the respective livery companies, to whom they are directed, (as well
as the aldermen of the wards through which the procession passes,) of
the preparations necessary to be made on that day. These precepts are
first ordered to be printed at a court of aldermen; directions
accordingly are afterwards given by the town clerk, and, when printed,
they are sent to the four attornies of the lord mayor’s court, by whom
they are filled up, afterwards they are left at the mansion-house, and
lastly they are intrusted to the marshalmen to be delivered. The larger
precept is sent to the aldermen of the wards of Cheap, Cordwainer,
Vintry, Farringdon within, Farringdon without, Bread-street, Cripplegate
within, and Castle Baynard. The smaller precept is forwarded to the
whole of the livery companies.
