"The best genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage."--Globe.

"For the amazing quantity of personal and family history, admirable arrangements of details, and accuracy of information, this genealogical and heraldic dictionary is without a rival. It is now the standard and acknowledged book of reference upon all questions touching pedigree."--Morning Post.

"Nowhere else is there to be found so full an account of the families of men newly admitted in the Peerage or the Baronetage. * * * * The minutest change to the date of Publication will be found recorded in this Volume, which is in fact a Peerage and Baronetage, not only beyond comparison with any other book of the same class extent, but while it remains as it now is, perfect of its kind above all risk from any future competition."--Examiner.
