1/. 1 Is. 6d. boimd iri morocco cloth, the First Volume of the
HISTORY Or THE COMMONERS
OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND ;
By JOHN BURKE, Esq.
A Companion to the Peerage and Baronetage.
" The want of a work of this nature, furnishing an account of
all the families constituting the gentry of the united kingdom, had
long been extensively felt and acknowledged."—Preface.
" This is a great and important undertaking. Of the Peers and
the Baronets of Great Britain we have heard and read; but of the
Commoners—of families equally celebrated in history—we remained
in total ignorance. We are glad to find Mr. Burke employed in
removing a national reproach. ' —Globe.
" This is a book of the deepest interest, and containing, indeed,
so vast a portion of family history as perhaps the annals of no other
country could produce. It is almost impossible to convey a more
striking illustration of the respectability and permanency of the
great proprietors of the soil, than is to be found in this genealogical
and heraldic history of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ire-
land. Besides the descents, intermarriages, and armorial bearings
of every family, it contains the most memorable actions of persons
who have distinguished themselves, intermixed with curious anec-
dotes. It contains also a countless number of particulars relating
to the intermarriages of the several families. The work deserves,
and it will no doubt command, as extensive a sale as the Peerage
and Baronetage of the same indefatigable compiler."— Sun.
