(*) When the family name is taken as the Peerage title it is more usual in the case of Earldoms, or even of Marquessates, to omit the word "of"; e.g. (among Marquesses) Conyngham, Cornwallis, Townshend, ds'c; also (among Earls) Amherst, Annesley, Bathurst, Cadogan, Cairns, Cathcart, Cowley, Cowper, Graham, Grey, Fitzwilliam, Howe, Poulett, Russell, Spencer, Stanhope, Waldegrave, iifc. In some cases " of" is omitted when the title was the surname (not of the party ennobled, but only) of a family from whom the grantee derived descent, e.g. (among Earls) Beauchamp, Brooke, Brownlow, Ferrers, Granville, Innes, Manvers, Sondes, Strange, Sydney, Vane, isfc. Contrariwise, the word "of" is sometimes retained (more especially when the surname is of local origin), e.g.., Earl 0/" Berkeley, Earl o/" Coventry, Earl »/" Craven, is'c. The Marquess Camden, Earl Cawdor, ISc, seem, as English titles, somewhat anomalous, though, in the Irish peerage, names of places are not unfrequently so treated, e.g.., Earl Belmore, Earl Castle Stewart, Earl Erne, Earl Fife, Earl Mount- cashell, Earl Winterton, fife. C") The cause was crim. con. with the Rev. Mr. Cooper. (*=) He sold the Caversham estate, from which the name of the ist Earl's Viscountcy had been taken. " In consequence of some unhappy connubial events, the late Earl sold land, house, furniture, wine in the cellar, and, if we are to credit report, the very roast beef on the spit, to Major Marsac, for a sum of money one day before dinner." [Biographical Index to the House of Lords., 1808). V.G. ("^) Owing to his insanity he was never elected a Trustee of the Brit. Museum, so that from 1807 to 1833 there was only one Sloane Trustee. V.G.
