LODGE'S PEERAGE 



AND BARONETAGE, 



CORRECTED BY THE NOBILITY. 



THE f DUTY-SECOND EDITION FOS 1873 IS NOW READY. 



LODGE'S PEERAGE AND BAEONETAGE is acknowledged to be the most 

 complete, as well as the most elegant, work of the kind. As an esta- 

 blished and authentic authority on all questions respecting the family 

 histories, honours, and connections of the titled aristocracy, no work has 

 ever stood so high. It is published under the especial patronage of Her 

 Majesty, and is annually corrected throughout, from the personal com- 

 munications of the Nobility. It is the only work of its class in which, the 

 type being kept constantly standing, every correction is .made in its proper 

 place to the date of publication, an advantage which gives it supremacy 

 over all its competitors. Independently of its full and authentic informa- 

 tion respecting the existing Peers and Baronets of the realm, the most 

 sedulous attention is given in its pages to the collateral branches of the 

 various noble families, and the names of many thousand individuals are 

 introduced, which do not appear in other records of the titled classes. For 

 its authority, correctness, and facility of arrangement, and the beauty of 

 its typography and binding, the work is justly entitled to the place it 

 occupies on the tables of Her Majesty and the Nobility.
