	Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
		The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
		Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

	Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers: Livery Companies of London
		Until 1835 membership of a Company was the only avenue to the Freedom, or full citizenship, of the City of London.
		When in that year the Common Council decided that the intervention of a Company should no longer be necessary, fears were expressed that the end of these ancient corporate bodies was in sight.
		That this fear was groundless is seen in the great increase during the last century in the number of those entitled to wear the livery, or clothing, of their respective companies.

	Other Livery Companies
		Today’s livery companies are not picturesque leftovers of history but living institutions, whose activities have been commended by successive Royal Commissions and hose liverymen assemble in Common Hall to carry out important functions in the elections of the City’s government and certain of its officers.
		Livery companies still maintain the structure of organization shown, and the tradition is adopted by the new guilds.
		In certain companies the officers are known by different titles, for example, the Fishmongers have a Prime Warden instead of a Master, and the number of wardens may vary between two and four according to the size of the company.

		Although not among the most ancient of the City Guilds, it is still a very old Livery Company reaching back over hundreds of years with a history of service and endeavour, and is remarkable as being one of the very few which still carry out the work for which it was founded.
		Members of the Company who had their workshops in the surrounding districts were rendered homeless, but permitted to carry on their trade in the Hall for three months provided that no hammer or forge was used.
		The Company is much indebted to an unknown fireman who, seeing the curtains of the Court Room ablaze, broke into the Hall and extinguished the flames.

		Honour: "Nomenklatura" and titles: In many cultures, the name of a family or an individual may be associated with a particular degree of honour, possibly recognized explicitly by titles as in the case of the nobility (Almanach de Gotha, Debretts Peerage***).
		No one may be the object of arbitrary or abusive interference with his private life, his family, his home, or his correspondence, or of unlawful attacks on his honor or reputation.
