“The New Edition of ‘Mr. Burke’s Peerage and Baronetage’ is certainly the most perfect and comprehensive Encyclopædia of personal and national history ever given to the public; combining surprising accuracy and important information with the greatest brevity and clearness, and exhibiting, in a condensed and lucid form, the lives and achievements of the many eminent men who have shed lustre on the roll of our nobility, from the steel-clad Barons of Crescy and Agincourt, to the heroes of Blenheim and Waterloo. This new edition has evidently undergone the most searching revision; several of the lineages have been rewritten—all remodelled and improved—and the introduction of much interesting matter, referential to the baronets and the collateral branches, renders the impression far more valuable than any of the former ones. Indeed, there is not a name connected with peer or baronet, that is not displayed in its pages.”—Globe.
