LODGE'S PEERAGE 



AND BARONETAGE, 



CORRECTED BY THE NOBILITY. 



FIFTY-SIXTH EDITION FOR 1887. 



LODGE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE 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.

" This work is the most perfect and elaborate record of the living and recently de- 

 ceased members of the Peerage of the Three Kingdoms as it stands at this day. It is 

 a most useful publication. We are happy to bear testimony to the fact that scrupulous 

 accuracy is a distinguishing feature of this book." Times. 



"Lodge's Peerage must supersede all other works of the kind, for two reasons: first, it 

 is on a better plan ; and secondly, it is better executed. We can safely pronounce it to be 

 the readiest, the most useful, and exactest of modern works on the subject." Spectator : 



"A work of great value. It ia the most faithful record we possess of the aristo- 

 cracy of the day." Post.
