c. Peerages, Nos. 312-21.

d. Royalty, Chancellors, Justices, etc., Nos. 322-34.

e. History of Names, Nos. 335-42.

The best biographical work of reference is the Dictionary of National Biography (No. 305); the most nearly complete 'peerage' is Cokayne's (No. 315). There is a long list of works on the genealogy of royal and noble families in Sims's Manual (No. 311), 178-92. See also §§ 16b, 38d, 47d, 56d, 70c.

See Nos. 66b, 308-9, 311.

304. Dictionary of Christian biography, literature, sects, and doctrines [to about A.D. 800], ed. William Smith and Henry Wace. 4 vols. London, 1877-87.-[Abridged edition], I vol., by Henry Wace and W. C. Piercy, London, 1911.

Valuable.

305. *Dictionary of national biography, ed. Leslie Stephen and Sidney Lee. 63 vols. London, 1885-1900.-Supplement,

3 vols., 1901.-Index and epitome, 1903.-Errata, 1904.-[New edition], 22 vols., 1908-09.-Second supplement, 3 vols., 1912; index and epitome, 1913.

306. HAYDN, JOSEPH. The book of dignities, containing lists of the official personages of the British empire from the earliest periods to the present time. London, 1851; 3rd edition, 1894.

Better for modern times than for the middle ages.

307. LORENZ, OTTOKAR. Lehrbuch der Genealogie. Berlin, 1898.

308. *MARSHALL, G. W. The genealogist's guide. London, 1879; [4th edition], Guildford, 1903.

A useful work, containing much bibliographical information. His Pedigree Work (London, 1900, pp. 73) is more elementary.

310. RYE, WALTER. Records and record searching : a guide to the genealogist and topographer. London, etc., 1888; 2nd edition, 1897.

Valuable.

311. SIMS, RICHARD. A manual for the genealogist, topographer, antiquary, and legal professor. London, 1856; 2nd edition, 1861; new edition, 1888.

The three editions are printed from the same plates. The work is still useful, though sadly in need of revision.

c. PEERAGES.

See J. H. Round's volumes, No. 3038a.

312. BANKS, T. C. The dormant and extinct baronage of England. 4 vols. London, 1807-37.

This work originally appeared in 3 vols. 1807-09. In 1837 his Stemmata Anglicana (1825), which contained some emendations and additions to the Baronage. was published as a fourth volume.

313. BURKE, JOHN, J. B., and A. P. A genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the peerage and baronetage of the British empire. London, 1826; 76th edition, 1914.

This well-known work should be used with caution. Mr. R. E. Chester Waters (Parish Registers, 1883, p. 39) calls it a gorgeous repertory of genealogical mythology.' For the untitled, see Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry, 3 vols., London, 1847-49, and later editions.

314. CLEVELAND, Duchess of [C. L. W. ROWLETT]. The Battle abbey roll. 3 vols. London, 1889.

Deals with the pedigrees of many noble families; professes to be a list of the principal followers of William the Conqueror who took part in the battle of Hastings. The original is not extant (it was borrowed from the abbot of Battle by Henry V. and was never returned), and the various copies have little historical value. The duchess of Cleveland admits that, owing to the numerous interpolations, its value as an authority is irretrievably lost.' See Joseph Hunter, On the (so-called) Roll of Battle Abbey, Sussex Archæol. Soc., Collections, 1853, vi. 1-14; he claims that the existing copies or lists were not ascribed to Battle abbey until the time of Elizabeth. See also G. [F.] Duckett, Remarks on a Battle Abbey Roll, ibid., 1878, xxviii. 127–31; and A. E. P. Gray, The Roll of Battle Abbey, Historic Soc. of Lanc. and Chesh., Trans., 1895, xlvi. 1-18.

315. *C[OKAYNE], G. E. Complete peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and United Kingdom, extant, extinct, or dormant. 8 vols. London, 1887-98.-New edition, revised and much enlarged [to be in 12 vols.], by Vicary Gibbs, 1910, etc.

The most comprehensive work of this kind in the English language.

316. COLLINS, ARTHUR. The peerage of England. London, 1709.-New edition, by S. E. Brydges, 9 vols., London, 1812.

317. *DOYLE, J. E. The official baronage of England, showing the succession, dignities, and offices of every peer from 1066 to 1885. 3 vols. London, 1886.

Valuable, but deals only with the higher grades of peerage, giving the offices held by dukes, marquises, earls, and viscounts.

318. *DUGDALE, WILLIAM. The baronage of England. 2 vols. London, 1675-76.

Though many of Dugdale's pedigrees are wrong, his work remains of great value for the middle ages, especially for the post-Norman periods.

319. FOSTER, JOSEPH. The peerage, baronetage, and knightage of the British empire. 5 vols. London, 1879-83.

Valuable.

320. LODGE, EDMUND. The peerage and baronetage of the British empire. London, 1831; 81st edition, [1912].

321. NICOLAS, [N.] H. The historic peerage of England, being a new edition of the Synopsis of the peerage of England, by the late Sir Harris Nicolas [2 vols., 1825]. Revised by William Courthope. London, 1857.

Contains also the succession of bishops and an essay on dignities. The remainder of the work is now replaced by Cokayne's Peerage, but its conciseness and convenient form make it still useful.

d. ROYALTY, CHANCELLORS, JUSTICES, ETC.

See Nos. 706, 974.

322. BURKE, JOHN, [and BURKE, J. B.]. The royal families of England, Scotland, and Wales, with their descendants. 2 vols. London, 1848-51.

The genealogical information cannot always be trusted.

323. CAMPBELL, JOHN. The lives of the chief justices of England. 3 vols. London, 1849-57; 3rd edition, 4 vols., 1874.

324.

The lives of the lord chancellors of England. 8 vols. London, 1845-69; 4th edition, 10 vols., 1856-57.

These two works are useful, but they are inaccurate and untrustworthy.

325. DORAN, [JOHN]. The book of the princes of Wales. London, 1860.

326. FINCH, B. C. Lives of the princesses of Wales. 3 vols. London, 1883.

A popular account, exhibiting little research.

327. *Foss, EDWARD. The judges of England. 9 vols. London, 1848-64.-Abridged under the title: Biographia juridica, a biographical dictionary of the judges of England, 1066-1870. London, 1870.

Valuable, but not always reliable.
