Stowís most famous work, first published in 1598, and here greatly enlarged and improved by John Strype. ìIf John Stowís Survey of London is probably the most famous single work ever written about Englandís capital, then the enlarged and updated edition of the same book published some 120 years later [1720] by the famous ecclesiastical historian John Strype surely stands as one of the most remarkable works of scholarship ever produced about the city, and is regarded even today as a standard and invaluable work of reference for historians of the capital.îóMerritt.
