PREF.A.CE.

rrHE authorities for the following Pedigrees are indicated in the body of thP work as occasion arises. To economise space, Wills have not been ,transcribed, nor even abstracts of them generally given; they have been quoted so far only as was necessary for proving the genealogies, but exact references have in all cases been annexed, so that the original documents can be found and consulted without any difficulty. The object of the writer has been to collect mto one volume all the di1-eat descents, in both male and female lines, of every member and branch of her own family, as a book of genealogical reference for their use ; and to put upon record all the evidence necessary for proving these descents. Collateral lines have been left aside unnoticed, except in the case of families not hitherto treated by Genealogists, or respecting which the writer believed herself to have original, or at least unprinted information. Thes~ Pedigrees, therefore, do not profess to be exhaustive, but merely direct from the remotest ancestor authentically attainable to each m turn of the nine families and persons who are named and numbered at the foot of the tabular Pedigree, page x. An arrangement in four parts has been adopted as the most convement for the purpose. Part, I. consists of a Royal descent (complete m itself) of the above-mentioned nine famihes and persons. Part II. contains such other b vi CONTENTS. descents and connections of the same persons as appeared too long for foot notes to Part I. Part III. contains additional ROYAL descents of still the same persons. Part IV , their Armorial Bearings, and those of the famihes allied with them A Pedigree shewing, upon one page, how all the persons mentioned m this book are connected with each other, precedes the Appendix. One hundred copies only have been printed The work was originally completed on the 10th of June last, and soon afterwards was in the hands of the bmders, Messrs. Bell, of Cursitor Street, Chancery Lane, where it was entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the 24th of June, not one copy being saved. From the proofs and revise remaming in the Compiler's hands the followmg pages have been reprinted.
