5.—The Aristocracy of Hyde Park and May Fair.

6.—The Aristocracy of St. James and Belgravia.

7.—The Aristocracy of Brompton and Chelsea, &c.

8.—Miscellaneous and Supplementary.

The first of these parts, the “Aristocracy of Kensington,” is now presented to the public. While rendering the contents at once available by a copious index to the nearly 800 notices which the body of the work contains, we have adopted the novel and attractive plan of ranging the information we have been able to acquire under the heads of the streets, and according to the numbers or appellations therein of the houses at which the various parties reside—thus at once illustrating the street and the individual. It must not, however, be assumed that those persons whose names are not included in the following pages are therefore not entitled to appear. Omissions and errors, the results of deficiency of information, are inseparable from a work of this character, especially in the first issue. Future editions will enable us to be more copious and doubtless more accurate. At the same time, we cannot deny that the work, as it stands, contains the “cream” of those who dwell in the Kensington District, so far at least as we can judge from the numerous replies we have received to our applications, showing a ready and courteous disposition to communicate information on the part of those generally, it is to be inferred, who had any to offer. This friendly co-operation we heartily and gratefully acknowledge, and we trust that those whom our enquiries have accidentally not reached, will enable us to make the amende in our next edition.

It only remains for us to announce that the “Aristocracy of London” will be followed, in due course, by the “County Aristocracy,” in a series of parts, each in itself complete, devoted to the “Aristocracy of the Empire.”
