  The Great Fire of London - CASEBOOK
The "pact" that Roubaud’s narrator outlines in the opening description of himself as a writer writing is less a proposed agreement with the reader than a set of rules for his own conduct as a writer.
Above all, the pact of London presupposes that the author has no clearer idea of where his text is going than we do, so that the impression of aimlessness, unformedness, or, to put it bluntly, of a structural mess, is part and parcel of what Roubaud is asking his readers to accept.
The pact of London is not separate from the writer’s life; it is the condition of his ability to say something not false about it.

 London Pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
London Pact (Italian Patto di Londra) was a secret pact between Italy and Triple Entente, signed in London on April 26, 1915 by Kingdom of Italy, United Kingdom, France and Russia.
Furthermore, Italy was to declare war against Germany and Austria-Hungary within a month — and in fact the declaration of war was published May 23 of the same year.
The pact was nullified with the Treaty of Versailles, because Woodrow Wilson, supporting Slavic claims and not recognizing the treaty, rejected Italian requests on Dalmatian territories.

 Memory's Fading Glimpse: History
By the early years of the Eighteenth Century, the central tenet of the Pact (that London could support, at most, seven kindred) was coming to be widely ridiculed.
The increasing size of the mortal population, and the comparative peace made possible by the Pact meant that the true capacity of the City was now much greater.
Nothing in the Pact precluded this, but the possibility of a much greater kindred community had certainly not been considered from the outset.

Segregation of funds became a major issue among London metal trading firms due to the additional costs and difficulty of compliance and the nature of the LME, which is not a cash-cleared market with funds to segregate.
Ralph Lindeyer, director of Compliance Control Ltd., a London consulting firm specializing in financial regulatory compliance, said it was "hard to tell" the amount of additional costs the regulations were demanding of complying companies.

In general, the Italians had numerical superiority but this advantage was squandered (along with the later increase in the size and quality of artillery which by 1917 rivalled the British and French gun parks) by the obstinacy with which Italian Generalissimo Luigi Cadorna insisted on attacking the Isonzo Front.
The Germans conducted air raids on England and London during 1915 and 1916 using airships intending to damage British morale and will to fight, and to cause aircraft to be reassigned away from the front lines.
