Hat these trained bands should be made as efficient as possible, In the
"Analytical

Index to the Series of Records known
as the Remembrancia" (printed for the Corporation of the City

of London, 1878) there are several letters from the Lords of the Council
to the Lord Mayor on this subject (pp. 533-9). The Directions sent round
to the Lord Lieutenants (An. 1638) concerning the Trained Bands of the
