Biographical history
The extracts were made by Hart principally from the London Gazette and the Daily Advertiser but also from many other 17th and 18th century newspapers and magazines held at Guildhall Library and the British Museum.

Vols.11, 15, 18-20, 25 & 26 contain indexes to goldsmiths' and pawnbrokers' names only.
