Acknowledgments

In acknowledging the assistance received by the Council in preparing this second volume on the Grosvenor Estate in Mayfair, the principal debt of gratitude must again be to the Trustees of the Grosvenor Estate, without whose willingness to allow access to their records this study could not have been made. It is again a pleasure to acknowledge the valuable assistance given to the Council's officers by numerous members of the staff of the Grosvenor Office, particularly Mr. Guy Acloque, and of the Trustees' solicitors, Boodle, Hatfield and Company.

The present volume contains much information obtained before the publication in 1977 of the first volume on the Grosvenor Estate in Mayfair. The names of the individuals, institutions and corporate bodies who helped in the preparation of that volume, either by providing or giving access to information or by allowing the inspection of buildings in their ownership or occupation, are recorded there in the list of acknowledgments, and to them the Council again tenders its grateful thanks. For similar help received in the preparation of the present volume the Council also records with pleasure its indebtedness to the following:
