Thoroughly Revised throughout, 1886. This edition of the Landed Gentry has been compiled from communications made by the chiefs and heads of families from their private papers, traditions and genealogies. The great aim has been to arrive at accuracy, and, in order to attain this end, every available source of information has been exhausted, and a correspondence carried on which has secured many thousands of communications from those most competent to improve and correct the work. Apocryphal statements, which had crept into former editions, have been expunged, erroneous particulars and incorrect descents discovered and omitted, and some memoirs excluded as being no longer associated with the possession of landed property. In two volumes, uniform with "The Peerage," " General Armory," &e, 2,088 pages, super royal 8vo., cloth gilt. Price £3 3s.
