Just published, elegantly printed in double columns, 28s. bound. BURKE'S EXTINCT, DORMANT, AND SUSPENDED PEERAGES A NECESSARY COMPANION TO ALL OTHER Peerages. This work comprises the whole of the Peerages of the three kingdoms which have been sus pended or extinguished since the Conquest, particularizing the members of each family, in eac generation, and bringing the lineage, in all possible cases, through either collaterals or females down to existing houses; thus connecting in many instances the new with the old nobility. *.* When it is considered that the most illustrious peers of England were swept away in th devastating conflicts between the houses of York and Lancaster-in the wars of the Edward and Henrys, and more recently, in the season of civil commotion, it is presumed that a work o this description, supplying much historical, biographical, and domestic detail, cannot fail to b considered as a great desideratum in all libraries.
