[The two last errata occurinthe PEERAGE, in which, we fear, there are many 

 similar blunders in the several accounts compiled from the standard 

 " Peerages." These are very incorrect, and will sufficiently apologize for 

 our having been drawn into mistakes, which we had no means of avoiding ; 

 nevertheless, we have endeavoured, as far as our information enabled us, to 

 render this part of the Work correct. But it is a subject of all others the 

 most liable to error from the constant changes making in the different 

 branches of Noble Families by marriage, intermarriage, Sfc. COLLINS, 

 TjONGMATE, and DEBRETT, are the writers that we have chiefly consulted. 

 The judicious reader will also make allowance for inaccuracies tn other parts 

 of this Work, to whom the nature of such an undertaking, and its concomi- 

 tant difficulties, are well fenown; to the injudicious, all apology were 

 useless.]
