Excerpt from An Index of Hereditary English, Scottish, and Irish Titles of Honour A few words are needed, not only to explain what this Index is, but also what it is not. It is an index of the Peerages and Baronetages of the United Kingdom, showing the date when each separate title was conferred, the changes which they underwent, and their present condition, whether existent, modified, dormant, or extinct. It is therefore a guide or reference to the existing and extinct Peerages and Baronetages of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It has no pretensions to be a Peerage, or in any way to take the place of the valuable works of Burke, Lodge, Debrett, and others; these volumes now form a small library in themselves, and the present index is merely designed to point out in which of the Peerages or Baronetages any given title is to be found.
