Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dormant and Extinct Baronage of England, or an Historical and Genealogical Account of the English Nobility, Who Have Flourished From the Norman Conquest to the Year 1809, Vol. 4: Vol. The Fourth, Continued Down to January 1837; With Corrections and Appendices; And an Index to the Three Former Volumes
When the first three Volumes of the Dormant and Extinct Baronage were published, the Edition consisted of 750 Copies, viz. 250 large paper, and 500 small. These have long since been disseminated among the public. Some particular reasons pre vailed to limit the Edition of the fourth, or Supplemental Volume, to only 500, viz. 150 large paper, and 350 small, so that 250 Copies of the first three Volumes would ever remain incomplete, without the Supplemental one, to which was attached the Index of those Volumes, they having been printed without so useful an appen dage.
Since the publication of the Supplemental Volume, 142 Copies have been unfortunately burnt at an accidental fire at the printer's, whereby only 358 Copies out of 500 have been in circulation, and, consequently, a perfect series of the four Volumes has become scarce to be met with.
The present Edition of the Appendix, is limited to the said number of 358 Copies; as such, to those persons who may have the preceding parts, it is respectfully submitted that this Edition is a material one to be added thereto.
