Under the Especial Patronage of HER MAJESTY & H.R.H. THE PRINCE CONSORT. NOW READY, IN ONE VOLUME, ROYAL 8VO., WITH THE ARMS BEAUTIFULLY ENGRAVED, _Handsomely Bound, with Gilt Edges_, LODGE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE, For 1859. ARRANGED AND PRINTED FROM THE PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS OF THE NOBILITY, AND CORRECTED THROUGHOUT TO THE PRESENT TIME. LODGE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE is acknowledged to be the most complete, as well as the most elegant, work of the kind that has ever appeared. As an established and authentic authority on all questions respecting the family histories, honours, and connexions of the titled aristocracy, no work has ever stood so high. It is published under the especial patronage of Her Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and is annually corrected throughout, from the personal communications 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 information 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. Nothing can exceed the facility of its arrangements, or the beauty of its typography and binding, and for its authority, correctness and embellishments, the work is justly entitled to the high place it occupies on the tables of Her Majesty and the Nobility. * * * * * [FOR THE CONTENTS OF THIS WORK SEE THE NEXT PAGE.] LODGE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE. * * * * * LIST OF THE PRINCIPAL CONTENTS.
