EW subjects have offered a more fertile theme for conjecture or a more attrac- tive field for research than the origin and early history of the Trade Guilds. Mankind has, from the earliest periods, evinced a propensity to dwell in communities, although this predilection is often found to be modified by national charac- teristics. The lithic monuments, hut circles and earthworks with which our own island abounds, testify to its influence in the conditions under which primeval man dwelt in early Britain ; while we see it to-day exemplified in the tribal commu- nities of pastoral nomads in Asia and Africa. In the early days of pre-historic times this circum- stance was probably the result of a necessity for self-protection against common enemies, and, later on, with the growth of civilization, it just as pro- bably arose from the social instincts of man. Among the earliest institutions and corpora- tions of which we have cognizance and mention were those communities known in Roman his- tory by the name of collegia. The term collegia, however, embraced corporations of various de- scriptions ; some were of a strictly religious.
