| A 'narrative of the leading families of these islands', this illustrious reference work was first published in 1826 as 'a general and heraldic dictionary... exhibiting, under strict alphabetical arrangement, the present state of those exalted ranks, with their armorial bearings, mottoes etc and deducing the lineage of each house from the founder of its honours'. The 107th edition - probably the last before the work transfers to an online subscription service - now includes knights, dames, Scottish and Irish Chiefs and Scottish feudal barons and represents a 'tangible marker' for those families affected by reforms in the Scottish feudal land tenure system and the House of Lords. Altogether the three volumes cover over 5,500 families and 1,000 years of history. Due to this item weighing in excess of 10kg, we will calculate the overseas postage as though it contained 9 volumes, and not 3. Due to its size, we will ship it separately to other titles ordered. | ||||
