FOOTNOTES:

In preparing these lists I have derived much help from the Book of Dignities, edited by Mr. Ockerby, 1890, though my lists do not always agree with it. The division of the spheres of the secs. of state into n. and s. depts. was merely a matter of convenience, and I am not sure that my attempt to present the changes of depts. is accurate in every case.

Not a cabinet office.
