Enter the drawing rooms and battlefields of eighteenth-century England through the lives of its highest-born families. History lives in these pages. Arthur Collins's monumental The Peerage of England, Volume VII, is both a meticulous genealogical reference book and a vivid portrait of the British nobility of the 1700s, tracing the lineages of English lords through births, marriages, issue and collateral branches. From carefully documented descents to evocative notes on famous actions in war and peace, religious benefactions, deaths, burials and epitaphs, Collins organises a complete nobility and peerage directory grounded in records, old wills, authentic manuscripts and trusted historians. Equally compelling is its illustrated heraldry collection: the paternal coats of arms and crests, supporters and mottoes of each house, engraved with an antiquarian eye that will captivate genealogy researchers and historians as well as collectors of antique books. Long regarded as one of the foundation stones of British aristocracy genealogy, Collins Peerage of England stands in distinguished company with later authorities such as Burke's Peerage and Baronetage and remains an unmatched window onto eighteenth-century England history and culture. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this handsome heritage edition brings a classic work of heraldry and genealogical scholarship back within reach of modern readers, family-history enthusiasts and serious reference libraries alike.
