BURKE'S GENERAL and HERALDIC DICTIONARY of the PEERAGE and BARONETAGE of
the BRITISH EMPIRE
This New Edition of Mr. Burke's popular work, in addition to
comprising, exclusively, the whole HEREDITARY RANK of England,
Ireland, and Scotland, (exceeding FIFTEEN HUNDRED FAMILIES,) has
been so extended, as to embrace almost every individual in the
remotest degree allied to those eminent houses; so that its
collateral information is now considerably more copious than that of
any similar work hitherto published. The LINES OF DESCENT have
likewise been greatly enlarged, and numerous historical and
biographical anecdotes, together with several curious and rare
papers, have been supplied. The Armorial Ensigns have been
re-engraved, on the new and improved plan of incorporation with the
letter-press, so that the existing state of each family, with its
lineage and arms, will be found together.
