no Guigone Priore Cartusiense._ Edita Basle, 1510. [61] For an interesting and accurate account of the Carthusian order, see an article in the _Yorkshire Archaeological Journal_, vol. xviii., pp. 241-252, by the Rev. H. V. Le Bas, Preacher of the London Charterhouse, to whom I am indebted for much valuable information. [62] For further details an article by Archdeacon Hale may be consulted. _Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society_, vol. iii., part x. [63] Some interesting extracts from the archives of the Order bearing on the London Charterhouse during this period may be found in _The London Charterhouse_, by Laurence Hendriks, himself a Carthusian Father.

[66] See Hendriks in loc. as against Froude, who asserts that the trial was concluded in one day.

It reflects and epitomizes all that is most important and really worthy of notice in the story of England during what one may properly call its most picturesque period. The story of mediaeval London presents much romance and poetry, as well as strenuous activity; much religion and genuine piety, as well as superstition and narrowness of vision. It would not, indeed, be difficult to write lengthy volumes on such a subject, but it will of course be quite understood that in the present brief chapter anything of the nature of minute detail will be impossible. All that can be attempted is to give one or two glimpses of mediaeval life in London from points of view which may possibly be novel, or, at any rate, worthy of the consideration of those who desire to study the past in its human interests, and as something more than mere bricks and mortar.
