SIR BERNARD BURKE'S (Ulster King of Arms), LL.D., C.B.,

PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE. 32nd Edition, for 1870.

"Much care has been devoted to the production, with strict attention to correctness in all the departments of this new edition."-Illustrated London News.

[ocr errors]

Sir Bernard Burke is a most efficient and reliable editor; he has taken particular care to give the arms of Peers and Baronets correctly. It is the most elaborate and inclusive of the Peerages, and its genealogical matter has frequently a biographical and historical interest of no small value."-London Review.

The value of this work is attested by the frequency with which successive editions appear. The reader obtains an insight into Family and National History which cannot be obtained elsewhere. Sir Bernard Burke's volume merits a place in every library."-Athenæum.

New and Enlarged Edition, in One Vol., royal 8vo, price £2 25.

SIR BERNARD BURKE'S (Ulster King of Arms) EXTINCT, DORMANT, AND SUSPENDED PEERAGES. Illustrated by Steel Engravings of the Principal Arms. In this New Edition the History of each Title is continued to the Present Time, and the Various Dignities are traced down to their existing Representatives.

In the press, and will shortly be published, a New, Remodelled, and thoroughly Revised Edition. SIR BERNARD BURKE'S (Ulster King of Arms) LANDED GENTRY

OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Fifth Edition, for 1870.

"A work of this kind is of a national value. Its utility is not merely temporary, but it will exist and be acknowledged as long as the families whose names and genealogies are recorded in it continue to form an integral portion of the English Constitution."-Post.

"The whole forms a fine and full account of the gentry of these realms--of that class who,' says Sir Bernard, in his preface, possess, though undistinguished by hereditary titles, an undeniable right, from antiquity of race, extent of property, and brilliancy of achievements, to take foremost rank among the lesser nobility of Europe.'”—Illustrated London News.
