standard and acknowledged book of reference upon all questions
touching pedigree, and direct or collateral affinity with the titled
aristocracy. We have also in its pages much entertaining historical
matter, and many very curious and interesting family traditions
The work is, in fact, a complete cycloptedia of the whole titled classes
of the empire, supplying all the information that can possibly be
desired on the subleet."—Morning Post.

" In 'John Halvax' the author has made a considerable advance

Every character is consistently conceived and very truthfully deli-

power that sustains the attention of the reader."—Spectator.
