It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as '' Londinium'' and retains its medieval boundaries.See also: Independent city § National capitals The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament.

Peter Stent
Peter Stent (c. 1613–1665) was a seventeenth-century London printseller, who from the early 1640s until his death ran one of the biggest printmaking businesses of the day. Stent originally was an engraver himself. Edward Calver wrote verses to a set of Stent's plates from 1635. He then sold works of other artists, such as John Dunstall, John Fillian, Richard Gaywood, and George Glover. He also recycled plates he had acquired, in new printings: for example of the penmanship of Martin Billingsley, by George Gifford, from Sir Robert Peake and Thomas Rowlett via Thomas Hinde. Stent died in the Great Plague of London. His business was taken over by John Overton. References *Alexander Globe (1985). ''Peter Stent, London Printseller''.

Thomas Brewer (writer)
Thomas Brewer ( fl. 1624) was an English writer, of whose life no details are known. Works Brewer was the author of some tracts in prose and verse. The first was a prose tract, published as ''The Life and Death of the Merry Deuill of Edmonton. With the Pleasant Pranks of Smug the Smith, Sir John and mine Host of the George about the Stealing of Venison. By T.B.'' (1631; reprinted in 1819). The author's name, "Tho. Brewer" is inscribed on the last leaf. This piece was written and probably printed at a much earlier date, for on 5 April 1608 "a booke called the lyfe and deathe of the Merry Devill of Edmonton, &c., by T. B." was entered in the Stationers' Registers (Arber's Transcripts, iii. 374). A unique example is recorded, printed in 1657, with the name 'T. Brewer, Gent.' on the title-page. The popularity of the comedy of the ''Merry Devil of Edmonton'' doubtless suggested the title of this droll tract, which tells us little about Peter Fabell, and deals mainly with the adventures ...
