Excerpt from The Houblon Family, Vol. 1: Its Story and Times For the assistance of those persons to whom the ramifications of a somewhat intricate genealogical tree may be of interest, a paragraph pedigree has been annexed at the end of each volume, together with a skeleton chart. The individuals mentioned in the narrative, when bearing the same Christian name, are distinguished by a number immediately after it and below the line. These numbers are also given in the pedigree charts, and in the index. The two volumes are dealt with separately. It remains for the author to tender her thanks to those who have shown an interest in these sketches of bygone days. To Mrs. Andrew Lang, who kindly undertook the pruning of an over-voluminous manu script and the perusal of its proofs. To Mr. C. R. Ashbee, whose intimate knowledge of the industrial conditions under which the lives of the earlier genera tions of the Houblon family were passed made his advice and criticism valuable; and to Miss Lena Diver, without whose patient and intelligent searches among the musty treasures of the Record Office and elsewhere, the narrative, as it is here presented, would have been impossible to the author.
