It s
is now the standard
and acknowledged book of reference upon all questions touch-
ing pedigree, arid direct or collateral affinity with the titled
aristocracy. The lineage of each distinguished house is de-
duced through all the various ramifications. Every colla-
teral branch, however remotely connected, is introduced, and
the alliances are so carefully inserted as to show in all in
stances the connexion which so intimately exists between
the titled and untitled aristocracy. We have also much moat
entertaining historical matter and many very curious and
interesting family traditions. The work is, in fact, a com-
plete cyclopedia of the whole titled classes of the empire,
supplying all the infornaation that can possibly be desired on
the subject."—Morning Post.
