PROSPECTUS.
IT is with considerable pleasure that I am enabled to inform the sub-
scribers to my Collectanea that special permission has been granted me by
the authorities to edit, and to publish in this work, the Admissions of members
to Lincoln's Inn, to the Middle Temple, and to Gray's Inn.
As these records are practically virgin soil, and as I am now placing the
information they contain at the disposal of the public >|br the first time, I may
w;ith propriety explain their peculiar value both to the biographer and the
genealogist
These entries (which commence about the middle of the i6th century)
refer to the gentry and their younger sons ; and as it is customary to record
the parentage of each student on his admission, it is obvious that no other series
of documents outside the College of Arms — saving the similar Lists of Admis-
sions to the Universities — can aiford so much authentic information relating to
our Aristocracy, or throw so much additional light on their genealogical history.
The earlier admissions supply the data for identification which are generally
wanting in the early Parish Registers, while the subsequent, and even recent,
entries form a supplement to the Herald's Visitations, which in many cases they
enable us to continue over an often obscure period. They certainly equal these
Visitations in interest, even if they do not excel them, inasmuch as each re-
spective register supplies a fund of original information relating to families in
every part of England and Ireland.
It is a marked result of our national system of primogeniture that the
cadet branches of our landed families are often hopelessly obscured, while the
parent stern can be clearly traced through its connection with the ancestral
estate. But it frequently happens that these same branches emerge again into
eminence, and possibly surpass the ancestral distinctions of their house. Now, it
is precisely in these cases — where an awkward gap has to be bridged over — that
these Admissions may provide the missing link, and enable us to establish
a connected pedigree.
To increase the general interest, notes of identification will be added
where possible, but the special feature of the Admissions will rather be found
in those names which are not to be met with elsewhere, and anong which
many must discover those of their missing or perhaps obscure ancestors.
In short, these Admissions belong to that class of records the importance
of which is now so strongly insisted on both by the historian and the genealo-
gist. And while they possess for the latter a special value, as dealing exclusively
with the aristocratic classes, they will be appreciated by the former as the
national authentic register of the greatest of our learned professions.

AN ALPHABETICAL HAND-LIST
TO PRINTED
WILLS, ADMINISTRATIONS, Etc.
I am anxious to inaugurate without delay the principle of systematic literary co-
operation with my genealogical confreres, especially in the provinces, as laid down in
my introduction to the Collectanea.
I have, therefore, elected to commence with Wills, in preference to monumental
inscriptions, or isolated extracts from parish registers, not so much because in their case
the difficulties of co-operation are minimized, but rather because the subject is the
most important of those named, and especially as it is hoped that this list will enable
students to consult a will that may be in print on their shelves, instead of making
application to one of the many Probate Courts, or at least to obtain the date of a
will, and thus obviate the tedium of a search through the crabbed caligraphy of the
original calendars ; these are manifest advantages.
In placing an instalment of this list in the hands of my friends, I desire that it
should be regarded as tentative. And as the interests of all genealogists are practically
identical in requiring the best of working tools, so I trust that I may as soon as possible
find representative men in each county, who, actuated by this spirit, will superintend
the editing of good indices of wills, etc., from their respective county, histories and local
works : by this means only can this list be successfully and speedily completed ; for if
it were left to a single individual, it would in all probability absorb a lifetime.
In preparing this instalment, I have been greatly assisted by the co-operation of
my friends. Miss Ada C. Gardner, whose services in compiling the list of marriages
are now well known ; and also Miss Sharpe.
I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without reverting to ray favourite theme
to reprint at least the early calendars in H.M. Probate Office, Somerset House.
I maintain that it is impossible to over-estimate the boon which would be conferred
upon the historian and the public by the adoption of the Abecedarian arrangement, and
it is equally impossible to over-estimate the loss, not only to history but also the loss of
time to every individual who has occasion to consult these ill-arranged calendars.
To the biographer especially, the loss is simply beyond conception, and tantalizing
beyond description, because he knows that to search for the will of every individual in
whose history he is interested, would in itself doom him to the drudgery of a life,
and it is not too much to say that this would be a waste of valuable time ; while in the
case of the general public, an average delay of a quarter of an hour in searching for the
name of a single testator by each person during the day, brings up " the delays of office "
to an enormous total of what is undoubtedly a sheer waste of public time, which under
the present state of things is likely to go on for ever.
If the authorities have full confidence in the accuracy and completeness of their
calendars, I would suggest that all the names should be taken out which are under
the first letter, and arranged before the second is commenced, and so on with each
subsequent letter until the alphabet is completed ; by this means the public would very
soon begin to realize the benefits of the proposed alterations. The year 1799 might
conclude the first series, and the year 1800 commence the second.
If when this is done the expense of printing is found to be too great, these new
MS. Calendars would in themselves have the merit of obviating much of the existing
difficulty. A reference to them might very properly be made to carry a double search
fee, and a special fee for general searches might be introduced, as in the office of the
Registrar-General.
It is devoutly to be wished that this simple though all-important reform may very
soon have the careful consideration of the Treasury.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
" Mr, Foster's ' Collectanea Genealogica ' will bring joy to the heart of pedigree hunters both in England
and America. ... To the historian and the bicjgrapher such facts as Mr, Foster diligently gathers are of the
utmost importance." — Daily News.
"If continued on the lines laid down in the first number, Mr. Foster's 'Collectanea' cannot fail to
be a welcome addition to the genealogical student'.s list of working tools." — Notes and Queries.
" The great value of the publication consists in the serial works completed in this part, to each of which
sixteen pages are devoted, and which are to be continued in future numbers, each with its separate
pagination, so that when any one is completed it can be withdrawn from the others and bound up in a
volume by itself. ... If Mr. Foster's enterprise is properly supported, the students of history and biography
will find on their shelves a series of volumes of reference which will save them a vast amount of time and labour,
and will also find, to a great extent, their work done to their hands. It would be impossible for any genuine
student to see the volume just issued without recognizing the enormous benefit which Mr, Foster proposes to
bestow upon literary men, but which it is evident he cannot accomplish without the generous support of those
interested in such matters."' — Academy.
" If Mr. Joseph Foster's annotated list of the English Members of Parliament should continue as it has
begun, it will prove a great work nobly planned and nobly executed." — Pall Mall Gazette.
" Mr. Joseph Foster has commenced an enormous work, which must involve an incalculable amount
of painstaking research, and which bids fair to be distinguished by that scrupulous exactness and that rejection
of all doubtful detail which have characterised his previous publications. The new work is to be published
by subscription in monthly parts, it deals with different subjects, each separately paged, so that on the
completion of the huge work each subject may be bound alone, and form a complete volume in itself. It will
be seen from his programme that the completed work will be an enormous mass of tabulated information on
matters genealogical and personal such as the world has not yet seen." — Manchester Examiner and Times.

PREFACE.
AN historical list of Members of Parliament, alphabetically arranged
and systematically annotated, will at once be admitted by
all biographers to supply a want that has long been felt, and to
deserve a place of the highest rank among the working tools of the
historian, the genealogical student, and the journalist. But, dealing
as it does with a subject of such widespread and commanding interest,
I may naturally expect that it will be widely appreciated beyond
the sphere of professional writers, and that it will be valued by
the members of every family whose name is to be found in its pages,
as being practically the only available record of the parliamentary
service of their ancestry and their kindred. Of this work, which
I have undertaken to produce, with the assistance of eminent literary
friends, the present volume is the first instalment.
It is to be regretted that the errors which so glaringly disfigure
the official return of the Irish members, as has been shown (in my
Collectanea) by Mr. Beaven, have compelled me to postpone for
the present that section — in the hope that Government may feel
bound, to issue a somewhat more correct edition — for the Scottish
members are in some respects so unsatisfactory to deal with as
to form the least favourable commencement of the series. Scanty,
indeed, is the information to be gleaned from the printed works
that exist on Scottish genealogy and topography, and its gist has too
often to be tediously sought, buried like a kernel in the imposing
mass of a crabbed and wordy document. True, there is Wood's
[ V ]
PREFACE.
Peerage by Douglas ; but I fear I am unaware of any similar work
dealing exclusively with Scottish genealogy which is worthy to be
classed in the same rank. This is the more remarkable when we
remember the advantage enjoyed by genealogists beyond the border
in having easy access to the varied and voluminous records of the
General Register at Edinburgh. I must, however, always except the
Record publications now in progress, e.g. the Great Seal Register, the
Privy Council Register, the Exchequer Rolls, etc. ; but as these princi-
pally refer to the fifteenth century, they can only throw light on a small
portion of the period embraced in this work. Those great Club
Societies, the Roxburgh, the Bannatyne, and the Maitland, who
might have edited and printed so much valuable material, have practi-
cally missed their mark by catering for the powerful few instead of
the majority of the nation. How much more might have been
achieved by the publication, on some definite plan, of Wills, Charters,
Registers, etc., and, better even than Parish Registers, now-a-days
so much the fashion, would be the more important and exclusive yet
comprehensive National Registers of the Students of the Learned
Professions; and perhaps the various Guild Registers of the king-
dom would prove of even greater value. Such work, when once
done, would indeed be to genealogists " a joy for ever."
It is partly on this account that I have to acknowledge a greater
preponderance of un-identified names in this portion of the work than
will occur in those embracing the English and Irish members. But
this is also a natural result of the Scottish surnames being comparatively
so few. A mere enumeration of the numbers bearing the same
surnames would give but a faint idea of the confusion and perplexity
involved, as most of them sat in several Parliaments, and often for
different districts. Thus, there are not only more than eighty
Campbells and more than ninety Stewarts, but there are three or
four times as many separate entries of these names, all requiring to
be assorted ! As if to increase the difificulties inseparable from such
a task as this, identification is rendered additionally troublesome not

same person, but also by the varying combinations {and therefore
designations) of the burgh districts. As this peculiarity has evidently
proved a source of confusion to former writers, I have printed these
districts in detail on p. xvi.
But while entitled to claim, on these weighty grounds, a lenient
judgment on the performance of my task, it is gratifying to add that,
with the help of my coadjutors, my efforts have in the main been
crowned with success. I have already stated that our subject has
a widespread and commanding interest, and that, not only because
parliamentary service has been the stepping-stone to power and
honour for so many of our noble houses, but also because a seat in
the House of Commons is the legitimate aspiration of all classes of
men, and specially of those whose energy and ability have raised
them in the social scale. These will here find their names recorded
side by side with those of our historic governing families, enrolled
alike in the great Walhalla of the Parliaments of the British Empire.
Nor will the general pubhc fail to discover in these pages names
which appeal to all lovers of their country. Here will be found the
hero of Corunna, and Abercromby the hero of Aboukir Bay. Here,
too, is the gallant Graham, driven by grief to a martial career which
led to victory and a peerage, and Simon Fraser, the loyal chieftain,
who fought and bled for England to atone for the treason of his
house. Here, among authors, are Hume and Macaulay ; among
Premiers, are Melbourne (Lamb) and Gladstone. Here is the
sorely tried Melville, a scion of Dundas of Arniston ; and here is
Monmouth's evil genius, the fanatical Fletcher of Saltoun.
There are two features which in a marked degree have
characterized political life north of the Tweed. The first is the
persistence of certain families, where in England there is a continuous
rise and fall. The second is the tradition of hereditary feuds, the
struggles of rival clans and families, which, even though unconsciously,
are perpetuated to this day at the poll. Of the former there will be

found some striking instances in the chart pedigrees I have inserted
in the text. Thus, the houses of Elliot (Earl of Minto), Grant (Earl of
Seafield), Hope, and Anstruther, can actually boast an unbroken de-
scent of seven generations in Parliament, Campbell of Calder (Lord
Cawdor), Dundas of Arniston (Lord Melville), and Erskine (Earl of
Rosslyn), show six generations, while Dundas (Earl of Zetland), and
Foulis, each exhibit five. And as the governing families continued,
so also did their politics and their feuds. The Cavaliers who voted in
"the drunken parliament " were the sons of the men who had ridden
with Montrose, the fathers of the men who rode with Dundee, and
whose sons and grandsons, in turn, were ruined in the cause of the
Pretender, The Campbells who voted for their chieftain's son at
the election of 1878 (p. 50) were the descendants of the men who,
centuries before, had followed to the field the " Bourbons of the
Highlands" at the fiery cross of the McAllum More.
Scotland has ever had her Montagues and her Capulets. To
select from our pages one instance out of many, the representation of
Roxburghshire was shared, in the days before the Civil Wars, by
the houses of Elliot and of Douglas. In the following century a
Douglas sat from 1700 till he was ousted by an Elliot in 1708, who
in his turn gave way to a Douglas in 171 5. In our own day a
Douglas was returned in 1874, but was ousted by an Elliot in 1880
(p. 122). Thus has the unending contest been carried on from
generation to generation.
The names of members and other parliamentary information
derived from the return are kept totally distinct from the annotations,
and appear in a larger and different kind of type.
It is hoped, as this part will be found reliable, that it will prove
of considerable value to the historian ; I have also incorporated the
members of the Cromwellian parliaments as given in Willis's Notitia
Parliamentaria. The chart pedigrees, eighty in number, will be of
considerable interest to their representatives, and of valuable assistance
to the historian, for they exhibit at a glance the parliamentary repre-

sentation of the great governing families. It may be as well to repeat
that in 1 590 the minor barons or lairds reappear in Parliament, and
continue to be variously styled small barons, commissioners for the
small barons, and commissioners for shires, and also that this latter
designation was continued until the Union, prior to which event the
representatives of the burghs were styled commissioners for the
burghs. These various designations, which are cumbersome and of
no very great consequence to the general reader, have not been
retained — doubtless the pedant will charge me with perpetrating an
anachronism — the parliamentary return has, however, been adhered
to in the case of the minor barons, and all persons appear here as
M.P.'s, in the same sense in which they appear in the return.
/',! The annotations, which are principally taken from my own
Peerage and Baronetage, are chiefly intended to serve as a means
of ready identification for the general reader. I am indebted for
some valuable information — always most cordially given me — to
Thomas Dickson, esq.. Curator of the Historical Department, General
Register-house, Edinburgh, the responsible compiler of the Scottish
parliamentary return, and I am equally grateful to J. T. Clark, esq.,
of Edinburgh, Advocate's librarian, for the trouble he has taken in
supplying me with dates of admissions of advocates and other par-
ticulars from his own collections, which have often been of the
greatest importance in assisting to identify some of the less prominent
individuals.
In marked contrast to the cordial co-operation of these gentlemen
is the churlish reception of my work by the Lyon Clerk Depute, whose
time and labour have been freely expended, not in assisting me with
the information which his post places within his reach, but in hunting
for the blemishes incidental to such a work, and in making the most
of them when discovered ; they have been corrected in this edition.
It is inevitable that I should occasionally be led into error by following
the recognised Scottish Authorities, as the verification of every extract
would more than exhaust the energies of a lifetime. I have studiously

continued the exposure of the sham Scottish baronetcies, and this it
would seem is a cause of offence, though it might have been removed
long ago, had the details necessary to substantiate each discredited
descent been publicly forthcoming. No one who knows anything of
the nature of Scottish genealogical services, and the often consequent
confirmation of arms or grant of supporters, will accept such quaint
proceedings as even negative proof, unless the evidences on which
these acts are founded can be and are supplied. I shall probably
soon have occasion to return to this subject elsewhere.
I have been enabled in almost every instance to detect and correct
the few important errors which exist in the parliamentary return on
which this work is founded — at any rate those which occur since the
Union — a list of them will be found at page xvii. For this singular
advantage I am indebted to the Rev. A. B. Beaven, M. A., who, together
with Thomas J. Hercy, esq., of Cruchfield, and Mr. W. D. Pink of
Leigh, has also revised the whole of the proof-sheets, I am under the
greatest obligation to these gentlemen for their valuable additions
and important corrections, without which I should have lacked much
of the confidence I now possess in this compilation.
It may cause surprise that this particular volume has been
compiled by Englishmen, and not, as would seem more natural, by
Scotchmen, who might be supposed to be more conversant with the
history of their parliamentary representatives. Indeed, it has prac-
tically been suggested that this section of the work should have been
omitted sooner than that it should have been attempted by myself. If
this principle were logically applied, no Peerage compiled by an
Englishman would be allowed to contain the Scottish honours, even
though as in the present case no Scotsman were found to record
them ! My object in this compilation has been also to render my
Peerage more complete in this particular. I deem myself, however,
most fortunate in securing the co-operation of the gentlemen I have
named, and I much doubt, from the scarcity of such literature to
which I have already alluded, whether an editorial quartett could

be found on the other side of the Tweed, not only able, but also
willing to assist con amore in the production of a work of so un-
remunerative though valuable a character as this, which, even if it
repay the cost of printing, can never in all probability repay the
cost of labour, and may therefore claim, with justice, to be a present
to the Scottish people.
"The compilation of ah Index," it has been truly observed, "is
one of those useful labours for which the public, commonly better
pleased with entertainment than with real service, are rarely so
forward to express their gratitude as we think they ought to be. It
has been considered as a task fit only for the plodding and the dull ;
but with more truth it may be said that this is the judgment of the
idle and the shallow." It is easy to sneer at a work compiled by
" scissors and- paste ; " but it has avowedly from the first been my
object in Collectanea — from which this work is reprinted, with
additions and corrections — not to add to the mass of "unindexed
raw material," but to render that which already exists available for
my fellow genealogists. Nor is it the least object that will be gained
by the publication of this annotated list, that any student interested
in the subject will be henceforth spared the tedious drudgery of
the necessary preliminary research, and can at his leisure, by
reference to Wills and Charters, elucidate further still this branch
of the history of his nation.

PARLIAMENTS AND CONVENTIONS OF THE
ESTATES OF SCOTLAND.
REPRINTED FROM THE PARLIAMENTARY RETURN.
In the Parliament of Scotland the Estates sat and voted together as one Chamber. There
was no division into an Upper and Loiver House. The following Return, therefore, contains
only the names and dates of election, so far as they can be ascertained, of the elected or
representative Members of the Parliaments of Scotland, with the names of the shires or
burghs for which they were respectively returned.
The beginnings of Parliamentary representation in Scotland are associated with the rise
of the burgesses into political importance, as the Third Estate of the realm, in the early part
of the fourteenth century. Their presence in the Great Council of the nation is first clearly
ascertained on the occasion of the Parliament held at Cambuskenneth, 15th July 1326, when
the earls, barons, burgesses, and freeholders, in full Parliament assembled, granted to King
Robert Bruce, in consideration of his great services, and for the due support of the Royal
dignity, the tenth penny of all rents and profits of lands, estimated according to the old
extent or valuation of King Alexander III. ; the King conceding in return the important
constitutional limitation that no tax or impost should be levied by the Crown without the
consent of the Parliament. It has generally been supposed that thenceforward the burgesses
appeared by their Commissioners in every Parliament ; but this does not admit of being
satisfactorily determined, inasmuch as no sederunts or rolls of Members have been pre-
served of the many Parliaments which assembled between that date and the middle of the
following century.
Only a very few lists of Commissioners for Burghs are extant of earlier date than the
beginning of the sixteenth century. Before that time the records contain the names of those
only who, at the beginning of each Session, were elected Members of the committees on
which great part of the business of the Parliament was devolved — the Committee of Articles
\pomini ad articulos inquirendos], by which all measures were discussed and prepared for
receiving legislative sanction ; and the Judicial Committee for hearing of causes and appeals

co-ordinately with the Lords of Council, discharged the functions of a supreme civil tribunal
till the institution, in 1532, of a permanent high court of judicature, under the name of the
Court of Session.
By the small barons and freeholders, who were regarded as of the same estate with the
greater barons, the feudal obligation to give suit and presence in the King's High Court of
Parliament was always felt to be a burden ; and as early as the time of James I., in 1427,
an Act was passed for their relief, granting them authority to elect representatives. This
statute, however, remained inoperative. In 1457 and 1503 Acts were passed for relief of the
more inconsiderable of the freeholders, granting exemption, except when specially summoned,
to those of them whose holdings were below a specified value. In 1567 there was renewed
legislation on the subject of the election of Commissioners, but it was not till 1587 that the
representation of the shires was actually established. It was then ordained "that the
Commissioners of aU the Sheriffdoms be elected at the first head court after Michaelmas
yearly ;" that they be " authorised with sufficient commissions, sealed and subscribed by six
at least of the barons and freeholders " of the shire ; and that " the compearance of the said
Commissioners of the shires in Parliaments, or General Councils, shall relieve the whole
remanent small barons and freeholders of the shires of the suit and presence due in the said
Parliaments." From that time onwards the Commissioners for the shires are found in the
roll of every Parliament.
Besides the Parliaments, Conventions of the -Estates were frequently called together for
the despatch of urgent business. At first they consisted of the Privy Council, with a few
additional Members specially summoned, and their sittings rarely exceeded one or two days.
In 1567 it was enacted that Provosts of Burghs, or Commissioners for Burghs, should be
present in every Convention, and especially when taxation was to be imposed. This was,
for a time, very imperfectly observed ; but, gradually, the representation of the burghs
became more regular, and the representation of the shires being established towards the
close of the sixteenth century, the composition of the Convention of Estates became at
length substantially identical with that of the Parliament. The Convention which met
14th March 1689 was turned into a Parhament, without re-election of Members. The Con-
ventions have therefore been included in this Return.

" compliance with the usurpation," found guilty of high treason, and sentenced on the 25th
May that he should be beheaded at the Cross of Edinburgh on Monday the 27th. After the
sentence was pronounced he said, " I had the honour to set the crown upon the king's head,
and now he hastens me to a better crown than his own." Buried at Kilmun. By his wife

The Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage
of the British Empire
BY JOSEPH FOSTER,
For 1882.
The NEW EDITION (being the THIED) of this work is now ready.
THE PEERAGE, in one Volume, Price 21s.
THE BARONETAGE and KNIGHTAGE, in one Volume, Price 21s.
The entire work can be had in one Volume, Price 42s.
THE PEERAGE, BAEONETAGE, and KNIGHTAGE of the BEITISH
EMPIRE contains
upwards of 1,400
woodcuts of Arms
of Peers and Baro-
nets, full-page En-
graTings of the
Eoyal Arms and
the Insignia of the
various Orders of
Knighthood, and
numerous other il-
lustrations, drawn
by Fr. Anselm, of
Mount Saint Ber-
nard Abbey, and
Mr. Forbes Nixon,
of Barnard's Inn.
All the Coats of
Arms have been re-
vised and corrected
by the records of the
College of Arms and
the Lyon Office. In
the pedigrees the col-
lateral branches are
more fully given than
in any other work.

It contains also a hitherto unpublished list of the Baronets of Nova
Scotia, compiled by Robert Milne, of Edinburgh, soon after the Union,
and a chapter of Addenda to the Baronetcy, entitled " Chaos," including,
among other matters, notes upon all apparently doubtful claims to the
title of Baronet which have come to the knowledge of the Editor.
The THIRD EDITION has been considerably enlarged and care-
fully corrected throughout, and is illustrated by numerous additional
woodcuts of Arms and chart pedigrees of the Royal Family.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
IT may fairly be presumed, since Mr.Foster has had free access to the records of the
Heralds' College, and the aid of Garter and Blnemantle, that this new Peerage
is more accurate than those that have preceded it. . . . Mr. Foster has collected
an immense amonnt of new matter for this work, as may he seen at once on comparing
it with other Peerages and Baronetages,
and in most instances he'gives far fuller
genealogies of the later generations
of titled families than have previously
appeared. An attractive feature in
this work, and one that seems likely to
commend it to the public, is its
engravings, and the armorial designs
which accompany each article, and are
of more artistic merit than those usually
supplied in works of the kind.
The most original feature, and one
which will doubtless attract a good deal
of attention, is a section styled " Chaos,"
at the end of the Baronetage, of great
novelty and boldness. — This portion of
the work will probably disgust those
persons whose pretensions it calls in
question, though on the other hand it
will certainly please genealogists and
all those who do not approve of per-
sons bearing honours to which they
are not entitled. . . . Mr. Foster is deserving of praise for his courage in scru-
tinizing the pretensions of self-styled Baronets, and the facts which he has stated
may tend to restrain claimants of hereditary honours from assuming their titles
before having proved their pedigrees. — Athencewn.
The labour spent by Mr. Poster on this volume must have been immense ; for
under every title, whether of the Peers or of the Baronets, he gives not only all the
male issue, directly or collaterally related to the title, and in remainder to it, but also

the children of all the married female members of the aristocracy. This information,
it is oiily fair to add, is not to be found in any other existing " Peerage " or
" Baronetage," so that the credit of it belongs wholly to Mr. Foster. We can certify
to the great care with which the work is edited, the tastefulness of the heraldic
illustrations, and the excellent typography and binding,
which go far to increase its practical value as a book of
reference. — The Times.
Mr. Foster has given to the world a Peerage which
must rank at once as of the very highest class. Inde-
pendence of research and of judgment have conducted
the compiler to many discoveries which in the aggregate
constitute a virtual impeachment of other authorities
to an extent amply sufScient to warrant the publication
of this volume. In particular, he challenges the validity
of a large number of Baronetcies, and, justly con-
sidering that titles so circumstanced ought not to be
I mixed up indifferently with those upon Which no doubt
hangs, he has collected them in a separate section of
his book under the largely expressive title of " Chaos."
In many respects " Chaos " is as interesting as it is
undoubtedly important. Of this Peerage it may with
truth be said that it will compare in point of mag-
nitude and laborious research with some of the very
greatest literary undertakings of the day. For all pur-
poses of reference the work will be found to be a com-
prehensive and accurate record of our titled classes and
their blood relations. — Morning Post.
We are glad to notice the publication of
a new Peerage and Baronetage, the erudite
composer of which — Mr. Joseph Foster — for.
saking the too-frequently practised and in-
veterate fashion Of treating uncorroborated
statements of private individuals as Gospel
truths, has boldly stepped into the arena and
has searchiugly investigated the true foun-
dation of every claim to . dignity. . . . We
prefer this work in every respect to the exist-
ing compilations of a similar character, and
we heartily recommend it as a trustworthy
book of reference to the two services. —
United Service Gazette.
We strongly recommend Mr. Foster's
"Peerage;'' it Ls lucid, reliable, admirably
arranged, splendidly printed — a volume which
must be placed in all libraries, public as
well as private. Moreover it is a hercu-
lean literary task, conscientiously and tho-
roughly well performed.-^ WUtehall Review. &"* gabbiel goldne y.

THE PEERAGE, BAUONETAGE, and KNIGHTA6E,l>y J. FOSTER.
It might have been thought that books of the Peerage were already sufficiently
numerous, but Mr. Joseph Foster shows good cause to the conkary. He has
approached his subject from the point of view of the scientific genealogist and student
of heraldry— a circumstance which at once places his work in another categoiy from
any of the ordinary Peerages. — Tlie SeoUman.
The pedigrees have been considerably amplified, and contain more biographical
information than is usually to be found in other Peerages ; and this applies not only
to the lineal but also to the collateral descents, more especially those of the Baronets.
Much of the detail connected therewith is now published for the first time, and has
been collected from private sources. Of the various Orders of Knighthood- and the
shields of the English Sovereigns, both have been well cared for ; and the good
engraving of the one and the accurate treatment of the other leave nothing more
to be desired. — Spectator.
This is quite a notable
book — the coats of arms
are bravely and hand-
somely drawn. The work
is a laborious and con-
scientious compilation, a
valuable record, and a
line handsome volume. —
Ycmity Fair.
This is the first issue
of a new Peerage, which
surpasses all others in
the splendour of its get-
up, and which joins issue
with Lodge, Debrett, and
Burke in a, way which
IS likely to excite something more than mere curiosity, for everything which
the Editor considers " sham," either title, arms, or pedigree, he unhesitatingly sets
down as such. Each page of the work has evidently been made a study. The
heraldic illustrations are all new in design, quaint, effective, and well executed, and
Mr. Foster has followed a mode of printing the pedigrees by which their perplexing
details can be easily understood and traced with less trouble, as it appears to us,
than in any existing publications of a similar kind. . . . But the most important
part of the work, genealogically, is the Baronetage, which has a special department,
named " Chaos." We will merely remark on this head that the Editor is evidently a
courageous man, as well as an honest one, and we hope that his labour of five years
may be rewarded by all the success it merits. . . . The volume is altogether one
of the most attractive we have ever seen, and on account of its many special features
is certain to become a popular one. — Duhlin Daily Expresi.
Mr. Foster's method of separating the Peerages which have descended through
heiresses or which have been revived in favour of coheirs from the paternal descent
of the present holders of them is a great and manifest improvement. — ^Mr. Foster's
is an ampler record of the Knights and their immediate families than is to be met
with anywhere else ; and he adds a full and useful catalogue of the Companions of
all the various Knightly Orders of the Empire. — Pall Mall Gaeette.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Both externally and internally
this volume is an exceedingly hand-
some one, and its graphic beanties
have been bestowed on it by sympa-
thetic hands. The iUastrations
which adorn it are not only ex-
tremely numerons but they have
been designed in a congenial spirit,
and executed with taste and a finish
"^hat cannot fail of appreciation.
The work as a whole is admirably
arranged for all purposes of re-
ference, whether by professional
men, students, or general readers ;
alike in its structure, its details,
and its introductory notices, it
affords clear proof of its author's
having obtained a firm grasp of the
materials with which he has had to deal. Mr. Foster has produced a Peerage, the
very first issue of which takes its place at once in the front rank of books of its own
class. — The Morning Advertiser.
Viewing this work as a whole, we have no hesitation in declaring it to be vastly
superior to any modem Peerage in existence ; and, if carried on in future with the
same elaborate care with which it has been originated, is destined at no distant date
to supplant in public estimationthose older works which lack the authenticity and
trustworthiness to be found in its pages. — Tlte National Church.
Mr. Joseph Foster's " Peerage," just published by Messrs. Nichols and Sons, has
some distinctive features which will commend it to the classes for which it is designed.
The heraldic portions of the work appear to have been the object of especial pains
and the genealogies generally seem calculated to sustain the honourable association
of the publishers with genealogical works of a trustworthy kind. . . . The coat-
armour, revised and corrected by the records of the College of Arms and the Lyon
OfBce, is a special characteristic of the book, which is not a mere instrument for
gratifying vulgar curiosity regarding the titled classes, but a work of reference,
useful alike to the man of the world, the genealogist, and the student of English'
history and biography. — The Daily News.
Mr. Foster has produced a work that is vastly more reliable than the less
carefully prepared "Peerages" and similar publications that abound. An admirable
and striking feature in this great work is the artistic care that is manifested in the
illustrations, all of which are original, and must have cost immense labour. The
various orders and heraldic devices are portrayed with much artistic spirit, and
quite elevate the work out of the ordinary rank of publications of this kind. — The
Idverpool Albion.
The quaint and picturesque designs adopted for the arms are a novel and
striking feature of the book, and one which will doubtless commend it to the favour-
able notice of many. . . . The Baronetage is remarkably full and interesting. Mr.
Foster has accomplished his enterprise in »u admirable manner. Nor can we with-
hold a meed of praise from the publishers who have produced a book which is in all
respects worthy of praise. — The Queen.
TUE PEERAGE, BARONETAGE, and KNIGHTAGE, by J. FOSTER.
It reflects great credit upon the author. . . . The volnme, which has been
produced in a superior manner, will doubtless take its place amongst the standard
works of reference on genealogy. — The CouH Jownal.
The work is fuller in detail than any other, for not only are all the male
descendants of titled houses recorded bjit the children of the female members as well,
and the lineage is given with far more minute and elaborate detail than in contem-
porary works. . '. . . It is elegantly, printed, luxuriously bound in bine and
gold, lucid in its descriptions, admirably arranged, and beautifnlly artistic in its
heraldic decorations. — Daily Bristol Times and Mirror.
The coraprehensiyeness of its heraldic and genealogical information is vast, and
to the student, and those who are interested, from various causes, ii} tracing the
Royal lineage of England, as well as the pedigrees of ancient families and their
remote collateral branches, it offers a wide field for research. The illustrations in
the woirk are made a speciality. They are boldly and clearly drawn, the minutest
details of each being well defined. — The Brighton Guardian.
This handsome royal octavo volume, with its wealth of heraldic ornamentation,
embodies a' most praiseworthy attempt on the part of the compiler to raise the editorial
standard of works of reference of this class. Mr. Foster shows himself to be a
painstaking genealogist, and his claim to have treated his subject on broader bases,
to have consulted unaccustomed, yet trustworthy, sources of information, and to have,
in general terms, made it more of a true genealogist's book of reference than Peerages
have been heretofore, may be readily allowed. The trickings of arms throughout
the book are executed with care and in remarkably good taste, and such of the
genealogies as we have tested, at present, have been found full of detail and accurate
iii the main. Upon the whole, this new candidate for popular favour will, we
imag^e, prove a most formidable competitor to the old-established Peerages, especially
as we learn that Mr. Foster haS received valuable assistance and advice from so
distinguished a herald as Sir A. W. Woods, Garter. The printing and press-work
are faultless, and the heraldic
illustrations, as we have already
remarked, leave nothing to be
desired. — The Deriy Mercury.
OPINIONS OF THE PME8S.
A handsome volume of ambitious design. Mr. Foster has devoted the last five
years to the production of a trustworthy book of reference. . . , The whole
work has been prepared with great care and taste, and gives promise of taking its
place in the foremost rank of such publications. — The Globe.
The amount of work expended in the collection of the details contained in this
book is something appalling to the ordinary mind. These facts require study before
they can be estimated or criticised, but there is one feature of the book which will
be apparent to the most casual -turner-over of the leaves. We all know the trim arms
usual in Peers^es, where all the coats are at first sight as much alike as two peas.
But here all is different. The supporters look as if they were supporting something,
and many of the shields would evidently fall into space without their assistance. All
Is life and action, so that these woodcuts, which are all drawn from authentic sources,
give a liveliness to the volume which it would not otherwise possess. — Temple Bar.
Mr. !Foster, as the result of most arduous labours, has succeeded in compiling a
work containing in all its
several parts a vast amount
of useful and much novel in-
formation, and has done this in
u manner that deserves high
praise. — Land and Water.
Mr. Joseph Foster, than whom no man is better qualified for the task, has, in
the sumptuous, the regal volume before us, produced, assuredly, the finest, the
most masterly, the most carefully arranged and best thought-out Peerage and
Baronetage of the age. Those who know (and what genealogist does not ?) his
important volumes of county pedigrees, which have been favourably noticed in these
pages, must have been struck with the admirable manner in which they were prepared,
and have felt how thoroughly competent the compiler was for the task. The present
work, gigantic in its proportions, is a fitting continuation of his labours, and will
remain a lasting monument to his judgment and skill.
THE PEERAGE, BARONETAGE, and KNIGHTAGE, by J. FOSTER.
Mr. Foster, in his work, giyes, in each case, not only the nsnal notices of the
present Peer or Baronet, and of his familj, bnt brief and well-condensed lineages, from
the earliest available periods downwards; and these add immeasurably to the value
and nsefnlness of his work ; one
useful, and to us highlji important,
feature, being the introduction, at
an enormous addition of labour, of
the issue in many instances of fe-
male members of the various noble
' families. This is but seldom given
in works of this kind, but is an
essential to their usefulness as books of reference, and
cannot be too highly commended. Considerable pains
appears to have been taken to weed out " doubtfuls "
among the baronets, and these, with many spurious
claims, are thrown by Mi-. Foster into "chaos," from
which, we opine, it will be almost a hopeless task even
for the Heralds' College itself to extricate them. His
avowed object has been " to produce a- useful and trust-
worthy book of reference, such a book as will supply, in
it condensed form, the genealogical as well as bio-
graphical history of the principal personages of the
present day, including the near blood relations of
every Peer and Baronet;" and to this end he has
certainly, and with admirable results, "worked up,
to an infinitely greater extent than has hitherto
been attempted, the very numerous, and for the most
part uncollected, accounts of collateral descents" es-
pecially relating to the Baronets ; and thus a vastly
augmented value is given to his work over others.
We are not, after a careful examin-
ation of Mr. Foster's volume, going to
affirm that it is faultless for it would
be utterly impossible to produce a
work of its kind that should in every
case be free from error ; bnt this we
will say, that it seems to us to be far
more accurate even in the smallest
details than others, and bears evidence
of scrupulous care in the verifying
of dates, and in other particulars.
The engravings, several hundred in
number, are deserving of all praise.
Drawn in the true spirit of the early
heralds, and executed with strict fide-
lity to heraldic details, they form a
feature of Mr. Foster's work that is
eminently attriwtive, and give it a tone
of originality and of pure artistic feel-
ing that is quite refreshing. — Tlie

BEING
GENEALOGICAL NARRATIVES OF
OUi^ NOBILITY ^ND G^ENTRY.
Illustrated with Chart Pedigrees,
SHOWING THEIR ROYAL LINEAGE.
Specially Bound for the Drawing-Room table.
IT is not a little remarkable that the Pedigrees of our Nobility and Gentry who inherit
the Blood Royal deriving from Kings Henry 111.^ Edward I., Edward III., and
Henry VII., etc., should have remained, for the most part, unpublished, including, as they
do, nearly all the chief historical personages of the Middle Ages, the majority of whom are
now only represented through females.
This — by far the most interesting — branch of genealogical lore is, according to many,
even of greater literary importance than our extant Peerage and Baronetage : for it not only
embraces the families of the highest in the land, but also includes the histories of our extinct
nobility and gentry, together with many pedigrees of the aristocracy, once ranked among the
landed gentry, but now, owing to the vicissitudes of families, classed among the great
unacred ; it therefore affords ample scope for the genealogist and historian.
Every pedigree admitted into this collection must be worked up to the Editor's
standard of completeness, and each family should arrange for the expense of printing.
This work will be similar to the Peerage and Baronetage, with the addition of chart
pedigrees (see next page); and will contain a very great number of hitherto unpublished
Descents, many of them derived from the Editor's private collection, and relating to
persons who are probably unaware of possessing the distinction. The descendants oi
these historical families will thus have the advantage of possessing, in a handy and elegant
volume, a genealogical account of their illustrious ancestors, as well as of their immediate
relatives. The fictitious and erroneous Descents printed elsewhere will be omitted.
" While speaking of Mr. Foster's magnificent volume (the Peerage and Baronetage), we
would take the opportunity of calling special attention to an announcement of another work
on which he is now engaged, and which, when completed, will be one, not only of National
or European, but of universal importance. It is entitled, ' The Kings of England and their
Descendants ; being Genealogical Narratives of the Royal Descents of our Nobility and Gentry,^
and has for its aim the giving in proper form the pedigrees of our nobility and gentr}-, in
whose veins, no matter how far removed, the blood Royal has coursed, and is still coursing,

Mr. Foster is collecting Royal Descents for publication, and he will therefore be

supposing that they derive from the blood Royal, and may wish to have the descent worked

A REPLY TO THE REMARKS OF THE LYON CLERK DEPUTE,
ENTITLED
"MR. JOSEPH FOSTER ON THE RETURN OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT."
PREFACE.
AS no less a personage than Mr. Stodart, the Lyon Clerk Depute, — who from
his designation should yield to the Lyon King of Arms alone as the
greatest official authority on Scottish Heraldry and Genealogy, — has taken upon
himself in a current publication to criticise my recent genealogical works with
warmth rather than with accuracy, I feel that, in justice to myself, I should
place the subscribers to my " Collectanea " in possession of my side of the case.
Reading between the lines of this embittered article, I take it that the aim
of Mr. Stodart's attack is not so much a disinterested criticism of my work on .
the Members of the Scottish Parliaments, as an attempt to weaken or discredit
the strictures I have from time to time felt bound to make, regarding the worth-
lessness, both of the "services" on account of Nova Scotia baronetcies and of the
(printed) pedigrees founded thereon, and also regarding the peculiar mode of
conducting the business of the Lyon Office, in improperly granting these self-
styled baronets, on evidence wholly insufficient, the arms and ■ supporters which
undoubtedly pertain to the Baronetcy they have improperly assumed.
It will, however, naturally suggest itself to genealogists that I chiefly owe the
honour of being thus assailed by the Lyon Clerk- Depute to the criticisms in my
Peerage on Lord Tweedmouth's "proved and registered pedigree " as officially
recorded by the Lyon King of Arms. These criticisms, which merely touched
the fringe of my well-grounded suspicions, were of necessity "odd comments"
(to quote Mr. Stodart), for they were inserted with the object of placing the
authorities at the Lyon Office on their defence, and of thus demonstrating that
they dare not uphold the audacious assertion in their "proved and registered
pedigree " (see page 64), for they know that there is not one shred, one tittle
of evidence to support, much less to substantiate, their statement that Joseph
Marjoribanks was grandson of the lord clerk register. The exposure which I
am now about to make is the inevitable consequence of Mr. Stodart's reply.
Now that the stone has at last been thrown, I need no longer hesitate to tear
away the mask from this later example of a Lyon Office pedigree, and to explain
away some of the statements, and correct some of the inaccuracies in the article
of the Lyon Clerk Depute. The review of the pedigree will reveal the most
Collect. h

determined genealogical fiction perpetrated by an officer of arms within living
memory. Before it pale such minor delinquencies as simple mis-affiliations, the
deliberate manufacture, i.e., fabrication of a date, and the more ludicrous assign-
ment as ancestor to a younger branch of the family, of a brother junior to a
posthumous child, an anomaly I believe in nature, if not among the Lyons of
Scottish genealogy. I think it will be universally conceded that the confession
of the Lyon Clerk Depute contained in paragraph lo, page 68, and the posthumous
absurdity in No. 3 pedigree, etc., etc., page 70, would be more than sufficient to
condemn these pedigrees, even without the conclusive evidence which I am about
to bring forward in disproof of the alleged descent from the lord clerk register.
The evidence will, I trust, go far to show that I am more conversant with Scottish
genealogy and the materiel necessary to construct this pedigree than the present
authorities of the Lyon Office.
The Lyon Office has a modus operandi happily peculiar to itself Descents
are "solemnly"' recorded in pedigree form, though absolutely devoid of evidence,
as may readily be seen from those which appear in this article. True, a meagre
date appears at intervals, but invariably so inserted as to preclude the possibility
of criticism, and to be deprived of all evidential value.
Nor is this all ; for from the materials which are collected during the con-
struction of the original "recorded" descent, subsequent and more comprehensive
pedigrees are compiled and issued from the Lyon Office to the uninitiated
and unsuspecting public, who have neither the faintest suspicion of the peculiar
process by which these productions have been evolved, nor the slightest conception
of the distrust in which they are held by the genealogist. This mode of procedure,
which is referred to more fully at page 69, considerably increases my task ; for
having three pedigrees to deal with, when one should have sufficed, I am com-
pelled to subdivide my criticisms accordingly.
With these remarks I will address myself to the purposes of this article,
commencing with the Marjoribanks pedigree, as being of greater importance,
and therefore of greater interest to my readers, than the other subjects.

THE LYON OFFICE AND THE MARJORIBANKS FAMILY. (^-t,
Summary of the Principal Inaccuracies
IN THE
Marjoribanks Pedigrees.
Section I.
(A.) Disproof of statement in the Lyon Office " proved and registered pedigree," that
Lord Tweedmouth is descended from Thomas Marjoribanks, lord clerk register and lord of
session. See paragraph 7, page 66.
This statement is founded on an alleged identity between
a James Marjoribanks who was undoubtedly son of Thomas Marjoribanks and
a James Marjoribanks who was undoubtedly Lord Tweedmouth's ancestor; which identity is
capable of disproof absolute.
(B.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office " proved and registered pedigree,"
that James, father of Joseph, died 1581. See paragraph 8, page 67.
(C.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office '• proved and registered pedigree,"
that Lord Tweedmouth is descended from Edward Marjoribanks of Hallyards, by his
marriage with Agnes Murray. See paragraph 9, page 68.
It is stated in the Lyon office pedigrees that a son Edward Marjoribanks the younger was born of
this marriage, and was ancestor of Lord Tweedmouth. No such son pdward is to be found among
the baptismal or other entries of their children;
(D.) Disproof of the existence of Edward Marjoribanks the younger, alleged in the
Lyon Office "proved and registered pedigree " to be the ancestor of Lord Tweedmouth. See
paragraph 10, page 68.
The only statement that such an individual evpr existed is to be found in the record of his birth, of
which the actual date is given in the Lyon office pedigree No. 2, page 69. It is now admitted by the
Lyon Clerk Depute that this date is a fabrication, pure and simple.
Section II.
(E.) Disproof of the statement in the official Lyon pedigree that Thomas Marjoribanks,
son of the lord clerk register, was ancestor of Marjoribanks of Balbair4ie. See paragraph 12,
page 70.
This statement is at once disproved by reference to "Lord Lyon's" Recount of Marjoribanks of
Marjoribanks. See pedigree No. 3, pp. 70, 71, where tjjg descent is deduced from John, eldest son of
the lord clerk register.
Section III.
(F.) Disproof of the statement in the " Lord Lyon's account " that Marjoribanks of that
ilk is descended from John, younger son of John Marjoribanks of Ratho. See paragraph 13,
page 71.
This statement is disproved by reference to two deeds of " Gift by the Queen," where the only issue
of John Marjoribanks of Ratho is practically declared to be a posthumous son Thomas. See
paragraph 13, page 71-
(G.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office " proved and registered pedigree "
that Joseph Marjoribanks was son of Joseph Marjoribanks, of Leuchie, by Margaret Sinclair,
his wife. See paragraph 14, page 72.
His testament dative was given up by " Margaret Brown, relict of Thomas Edgar, chirurgeon
apothecary, burgess of Edinburgh, formerly spouse to the said deceased Joseph Marjoribanks, of
Leuchie, and mother to the said deceased Joseph Marjoribanks, sailor, etc."

IN order that the rejoinder — possibly the inspired rejoinder^ — of the Lyon Clerk
Depute may be fully understood I must reprint the " odd comments " on
the above pedigree from my Peerage, which are as follows: —
Foster's Peerage \?>%2,page 666,
LORD TWEEDMOUTH, according to some authorities, claims to be
J descended from Thomas Marjoribanks, who was a lord of session 1549,
with the title of Lord Ratho, etc., etc., through his son James, who died in
1581, leaving two sons, Symon and Joseph, of Edinburgh, merchants. In
the account referred to there is not even /?•«;«({ ya«V evidence to favour these
meagre statements, and it is extremely dubious whether they can be substan-
tiated ; at any rate, it is believed that the following notes will go far to show
that a counter-descent can easily be constructed from the wills of individuals
named.
PARAGRAPH l. — Margaret, dau. of the deceased Mr, Thomas Marjori-
banks, of Ratho, made her will 30 July, 1573, appointed her brother
James an executor, but he renounced on or about 21 Feb., 1576-7.
PARAGRAPH 2.— James Marjoribanks, burgess, of Edinburgh, made his
will and inventory 8 April, 1569 (and died that month), confirmed
2 Feb., 1581 ; mentions, inter alios, son Symon and brother Symon, but no
Joseph is named.
PARAGRAPH 3. — As it is needless to point out that James Marjoribanks,
who died 1569 (not in 1581 as stated), would be unable to renounce in
1577, so it is almost superfluous lo add that, as no son Joseph is named by
James in 1569, Lord Tweedmouth's claim to descend, as alleged, from the lord
of session, must be considered to be unsustainable.

register of wills, vol. 5. — 21 Feb. 1576-7.
PARAGRAPH 6.— The rejoinder of the Lyon Clerk Depute is — to say
the least — also evasive, for my contention is clearly shown by the extracts
from my Peerage (see paragraph 3) to be that "Joseph was not son of, fames
son of fjyrd Ratho" and not merely that he was not the son of a certain or
any James Marjoribanks. My objection to the statement that James, son of
Lord Ratho, died in 1581 is left unnoticed for obvious reasons, and reference to
the affiliation of James, the father of Joseph, is slurred over with equal adroit-
ness ; for Mr. Stodart shrinks — as well he may — from frankly facing my " odd
comments," for neither he nor the Lyon King of Arms will now state — for
they dare not — who was the father of James, and therefore the grandfather of
Joseph; neither will they produce — for they cannot — any evidence whatever
to favour, much less to prove, their statement that the lord clerk register was
father of James Marjoribanks, the ancestor of Lord Tweedmouth.
The Lyon Clerk Depute does not seem to recognize the meaning of the
term "gratuitously," for I " asserted" (to employ Mr. Stodart's words) that
'■'■ the James said to have died" (why "said"? there is no question about his
death in 1569, and this cavilling innuendo merely betrays the irritation of the
Lyon Clerk Depute,) " /« 1569 urns identified" (by the Lyon office) '■^ with
James, the father of Joseph," not "gratuitously," but because (as will be seen
below) Lyon's ^'■proved and registered" date of the latter James' death is
obviously taken from the confirmation of the former James' will, My view is
clearly corroborated by the Lyon office identification of Symon, the burgess of
1571 (see paragraph ii, page 69), for Lyon makes Symon and Joseph sons of
the same James (see pedigree, page 69), who is styled fimquhile in 1571, and
whom it is not too much to suppose to be identical with the testator James,
who died in 1569; thus the very burgess rolls on which Mr. Stodart relies
affijrds the most conclusive refutation of his own assertions. Really the Lyon
Clerk Depute should write under supervision, and with his authorities at
command.
66 COLLECTANEA GENEALOGICA.,
(A.) Disproof of statement in the Lyon Office " pro,ved and registered
pedigree," that Lord Tweedmouth is descended from Thomas Marjoribanks, lord
clerk register and lord of session.
PARAGRAPH 7. — The above pedigree states that Thomas Marjoribanks,
of Ratho, lord of session, had a younger son James, who was father of
yoseph, the ancestor of Lord Tweedmouth. That the lord clerk register had
a son James is proved by the deed of gift (see par. 13, page 71), 10 Dec. 1550,
privy seal register, vol. xxiv., folio 38. According to the hypothesis of the
Lyon office, James Marjoribanks, son of the lork clerk register, was father of
at least two sons, Simon and Joseph (see pedigree, page 69). Now this Simon
admittedly occurs in the burgess roll (on which the Lyon Clerk Depute so
unfortunately relies) as son of James Marjoribanks, but when he was admitted
3 April 1571 it was as " Symon M., eldest son qf umquhile James," that is to
say, his father Symon was dead before that date, which goes far to confirm the
conviction that he was the testator of 1569 as "gratuitously asserted."
But the James Marjoribanks who was son of the lord clerk register
was, as is proved by the Lyon Clerk Depute, certainly alive, not only on
21 Sept. 1571, when he executed a deed of tack, but even 2r Feb. 1576-7,
when he renounced (notwithstanding the emphatic denial by the Lyon Clerk
Depute) the executry of his sister Margaret, who, oddly enough, is wholly
omitted from all Lyon office versions of the lord clerk register's issue, though
of his numerous children who lived to maturity, she is the only one whose
will is now on record. But all this is mere fencing, for subsequently to these
dates, and even to the date assigned for his death in the " proved and
registered pedigree," he is positively discovered taking to himself a wife,
though his marriage is with characteristic nonchal3.nce omitted from this produc-
tion of the Lyon office. Nay, so long did this James survive his " proved atid
registered" death, that, with singular disregard for the pressing requirements and
the ruffled feelings of a Lyon King of Arms, he turns up even in the following
century, as utterly irrepressible as the whilom Rip van Winkle.
To illustrate my criticism on the affiliation of James the father of Joseph,
I have printed from the Edinburgh burgess rolls the i6th century entries with
some later ones relating to the family. These extracts favour my profound
conviction that James was son of Symon (see admission 2 Oct. 1563), and
such I do not hesitate to say he will undoubtedly prove to be. Indeed they
serve the additional and very useful purpose of clearly proving that there were
several families of the name anterior to and contemporary with the lord clerk
register. How, then, may I ask, does it come to pass that the genealogical
pitchfork of the Lyon King of Arms secured the lord clerk register in
preference to any other equally available though untitled ancestor? The wills
of the period, which are very scanty, afford no assistance.

(B.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office "proved and 'regis tered

I)ARAGRAPH 8. — It has just been shown that James, the (Lyon Office)
father of Joseph (admittedly brother of Symon), was dead before 157 1, and
it was said that this strengthened the conviction that he was identical with the
James Marjoribanks who made his will 8 April 1569 (see paragraph 2), and
died the same month. Now the '■^ proved and registered" James Marjoribanks
is said to have died "in or before T581, or — according to one of these com-
plementary pedigrees which are so dear to a large-hearted Lyon — "in 1581,"
the latter and wholly unqualified assertion being the result of the Lyon's
growing courage. But if we would trace this assertion to its source, we must
take it in its primitive and more hesitating guise. No genealogist would fail to
form his own conclusions when he compares the suspicious date, "in or before
1581," with the fact that the will of a James Marjoribanks was "confirmed"
in 1581. He will infallibly detect the derivation of the date, and he will
readily perceive that there are the best of reasons for not divulging the
authority by which Lyon has been so cruelly deceived.

(C.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office ''proved and r^gisttred
pedigree" that Lord Tweedmonth is descended from Edward Marforibanks, of
Llallyards, by his maniage with Agnes Murray (see page 64)-
THE above pedigree states that Edward Marjoribanks, of Hallyards, &c.,
married, in 1685, Agnes, dau. of Robert Murray, of Melgund, and had a son
Edward, of Hallyards, who married, 1 7 1 o, Janet, dau. of James Loch, of Drylaw.
PARAGRAPH 9. — The utter absence at this point, of dates and places
of births and deaths disarms suspicion. I will, however, reserve the com-
plete exposure until I deal with the next point, when I shall have established
an accumulation of evidence which will be acknowledged by all to be over-
whelming (see next paragraph). I am unable, after searching in every likely
parish register, to find the baptism of Edward, son of Edward. It is singular
that Edward's wife, Agnes Murray, was buried as Mrs. Jean Murray, at
Greyfriars, Edinburgh, 17 March, 17 10, and that the burial is recorded twice
in that registry.
(D.) Disproof of the existence of Edward Marjoribanks the younger, as
alleged in the Lyon Office " proved and registered pedigree" to be the ancestor of
Lord Tweedmouth.
PEDIGREE No. 2 (see next page) states that Edward Marjoribanks, of
Hallyards, &c., married in 1685 Agnes, dau. of Robert Murray, of Melgund,
and had a son, Edward, of Hallyards, born 1688, married 17 10 Janet, dau. of
James Loch, of Drylaw.
PARAGRAPH 10.— The date of birth of the ''proved and registered"
Edward Marjoribanks in 1688 does not occur in Pedigree No. i (see
page 64). Although I discovered the baptisms of children of Edward Marjori-
banks and Agnes Murray, I was unable to find the baptism of Edward, as
already stated in the above paragraph. As a date of birth was given, I was
compelled to retain the belief that it had its origin in fact ; had none been
recorded, I should unhesitatingly have solved this Lyon office crux, by giving
this " proved and registered" Awx^t^xAnAsi^ , in marriage to her '^ proved and
registered" father-in-law, as his second wife. Was it because the second
marriage took place only a few months after the first wife's death, that Lyon
evidently shrank from perpetuating what seemed to him a family scandal?
My suspicion that there was only one Edward, and he blessed with two
wives, was therefore placed hors de combat. In despair I wrote to ask the Lyon
Clerk Depute where I should find the entry of baptism. Here are his own
words, extracted from his letter dated 25 May, 1882 : —
" Unfortunately no entry of the baptism of Edward Marjoribanks
" has been found ; Edward, the father, married Agnes Murray, 1685,
' ' and had
" Jean, 1686 ;
" George, 1687 ;
"Ehzabeth, 1689.
"As Edward, who succeeded his father, married in 1710, this
" seems to make it all but certain that his birth took place in 1688."
No wonder then that the baptism of this " proved and registered" Edward
Marjoribanks has not been found; he does not belong to mortals, and "suc-
ceeded his father " only on the disastrous instinct of the pedigree-maker. Here
we have the deliberate fabrication of a date for really no purpose, but from what
I have yet to disclose I have httle doubt but that similar "guesses at truth"
are to be found in the early generations of these pedigrees : C'est magnifiqiie,
mats ce n' est pas la genealogie.
I apprehend that even the most partial reader will admit that the acknow-
ledgment of the insertion of this date is fatal to this " proved and registered "
son, and that the probabilities of Edward's two marriages are confirmed. The
whole of my evidences have uniformly tended in that direction.

IN combating the very dangerous and highly improper practice of having
different pedigrees of the same family, and allowing them to be circulated
as equally authorised, some persons may consider that I am straining a point to
make out a case. In order to meet the charge of special pleading, I may state
that the pedigree (No. 2) as above, with continuations, was supplied by the Lyon
Office to Lord Tweedmouth, who sent it to Sir Albert Woods, Garter King of
Arms, for communication if necessary to the editors of the peerages.
This then was the pedigree furnished me for my peerage. I confess I was
dissatisfied with it, and I accordingly instituted an independent investigation.
This had only partially proceeded when the time for the publication of my
peerage had arrived ; I thereupon embodied my views — which were necessarily
cramped — in a note to the pedigree in that work, and which is reprinted at the
beginning of this article, pp. 64, 65 (paragraphs i — 4, etc.). Not so Ulster King
of Arms, who — loyal to his brother officers, Garter and Lyon — inserted the
pedigree in his peerage in the same state as he received it, viz., with all its
imperfections.
PARAGRAPH 11. — It will now be seen that various accounts are issued
by the Lyon ofBce of the issue of James, the father of Joseph, who is
the only son given in Pedigree No. i, see page 64, while Pedigree No. 2 gives
another named Symon ; and a third account — derived from the Lyon office,
by the same authority as in the case of Pedigree No. 3, next page — goes further
still, and states that James, 2nd son of Lord Ratho, had 3 sons, viz.: —
(1) Symon, admitted burgess 1571.
(2) Joseph, admitted burgess Edinburgh 1602.
(3) James, des-igncd merchant burgess, &c., died s.p. in or about 1603.
Collect. i
70 COLLECTANEA GENEALOGICA.
With these three progressive accounts before us, viz.,
[a) Joseph (see No. I Pedigree, page 64),
{b) Symon and Joseph (see No. 2 Pedigree above),
{c) Symon, Joseph, and James (see paragraph 4),
we can perhaps follow the construction of this Babel of genealogy.
As the three names affiliated above, which appear here for the first time,
have dates assigned them, I am led to ask why the date of Symon's admission as
a burgess, 157 1, and of his death (? 27 June, 1582), are "suppressed "in Pedigree
No. 2, on the preceding page ; and also upon what principle Michael, son of
James Marjoribanks, admitted 1564, is excluded. As burgesses were admitted
at all ages, it is impossible to determine from the dates of those admissions the
relationship which may subsist among those of any given name, and I therefore
discredit Lyon's statement that Symon was brother of Joseph, simply because
their fathers each bore the same Christian name, more especially as there
seems to have been three, if not four, James Marjoribanks living at the same
period. The following is the genea'ogical data from Simon's will : —
Symon Marjoribanks, burgess of Edinburgh ; testament testamentar
24 June, 1581, proved 30 Nov. 15S3, names inter alios^ sons William
and Clement (no Joseph or James named) ; Commissariat of Edin-
burgh, vol. 12.
The following extract may be interesting : —
" Item thair was award to the said vmquhile Symon Marioribankis,
"merchant burges of Edinburgh, be James Marioriljankis, elder
" burges of Edinburgh, called Laird Marioribankis, the soune of
** xiiij lib. xiij*^. x^. "
(E.) Disproof of the statement in tlie official Lyon pedigree that Thomas
Marjoribanks, son of the lord clerk register, was ancestor of Marjoribanks of
Balbairdie.
PARAGRAPH 12. — The special point in this pedigree which I here
select for criticism, is the above statement that Thomas, ancestor of
Marjoribanks of Balbairdie, was son (seniority not stated) of Thomas
Marjoribanks of Ratho. Immediately following this note will be found Lyon's
account, as extracted by the Rev. George Marjoribanks at the Lyon Office,
Feb. 1882, for insertion in my proposed history of this family. According
to this, the third of these conflicting official pedigrees, the ancestor in ques-
tion was a certain, or rather uncertain John, hitherto unheard of, but now
duly and, strange to say, rightly installed for the first time as son and heir of
the lord clerk register.

THE LYON OFFICE AND THE MARJORIBANKS FAMILY. 71
JOHN MARJORIBANKS, eldest son of the clerk register, pre-deceased his father. He
married Helen Reid, and left 2 sons.
(1) Thomas, of Ratho, &c. (whose line is supposed to have become extinct on the death of his grandson
Thomas).
(2) John, of Balbeardie (the evidence of John, of Balbeardie, being brother of Tliomas is inferential rather
than direct) ; lie is also described as Jolin, of Balbeardie, apparently brother of the younger Thomas,
of Ratho; is found witnessing the baptisms of the children of James Marjoribanks, son of Thomas,
third son of the Clerk Register (*) — he married Jean Stewart ; he died in or shortly before 1642, and
had two sons.
(i) Thomas, who succeeded him, and
(2) John, born 1626.
THOMAS MARJORIBANKS, of Balbeardie, was a minor at his father's death, 1642,
etc., etc. About 1673 his arms were matriculated in the Lyon register, where he is
designated representative of the family of Marjoribanks of that ilk, etc. ; he m., 1676, Anna
Seton, and died 1704, and had 2 sons.
(i) Thomas, of Marjoribanks, who married and died s.p., and
(2) Andrew, of Balbeardie, who married and was ancestor of Marjoribanks of that ilk.
(*) This sentence plunges us once more into the unknown abyss of Marjoribanks genealogy. Thomas was
2nd not 3rd son of the Clerk Register. His admission as burgess of Edinburgh in 1606, followed by that of his
son James, the hatter, in the same year, is given at page 67. I find no other entry than that John, of
Balbeardie, was a witness to theiliaptism, 15 July 1638, of John, son of James Marjoribanks, hat maker, and
Catherine Williamson; this James was not son of Thomas, as stated above, but grandson, 8.«. son of James
son of Thomas ; jDerhaps the Lyon Clerk Depute can give a i^urther supply of witnessing entries.
(F.) Disproof of the statement in "the Lord Lyon's account" that Marjoi ibanks
of that ilk is descended from fohn, younger son of fohn Marjoribanks, of Ratho.
PARAGRAPH 13. — Pedigree No. 3 practically states that John, eldest son
of Thomas Marjoribanks, lord clerk register, was inferentially father of
a younger son, John of Balbeardie, ancestor of Marjoribanks of that ilk. Byt
the "Thomas of Ratho, etc.," assumed in the above pedigree to have been the
elder of the two sons, is actually proved by documents which I have dis-
covered, and which 1 now quote in full (in anticipation of another emphatic
denial by the Lyon Clerk Depute), to have been beyond a shadow of doubt a
posthumous and only child. His younger brother must have therefore beeii
produced by a process of which the less said the better.
The following extracts from the Privy Seal register will, I presume, be
accepted as putting an end once and for all to the alleged claim of the Lyon
oflice that Balbeardie descends from Ratho : —
" 10 Dec. 1550. Gift by the Queen to Mr. Thomas Marjoribanks,
"of Ratho, and his assignees, then to his lawful son Thomas M. and
" his heirs male, then to James M., also his son and his heirs male,
" then to the heirs whomsoever of said Mr. Thomas of the ward, and
"nonentry of all lands, etc., which belonged to the deceased John
"Marjoribanks, fear of Ratho, with gift of the marriage of the heir
" male or female yet unborn of said John, his relict Helen Reid being
"with child." Register of Privy Seal, vol. 24, fol. 38.
"30 May 1551. Gift by the Queen in similar terms to the same,
'• but mentioning that the child of John, now bom, is Thomas Marjori-
" banks." Register of Privy Seal, vol. 24, fjl. 68.
I venture to submit that the guesses at the affiliation of John as junior
to a posthumous child are " opposed to nature, to reason most absurd."
After this astounding disclosure, we may learn what value to assign to the fact
that Thomas Marjoribanks, the son of this unfortunate child was "designated
representative of the family of Marjoribanks of that ilk," etc., at the Lyon
office in 1673, on the occasion of which official proceeding (!) he registered
amis, as — we are reminded by the Lyon Clerk Depute — " representative of
Marjoribanks of that ilk."

(G.) Disproof of the statement in the Lyon Office ^'proved and registered
pedigree" that foseph Marforibanks was son of Joseph Marjoribanks, of Leuchie, by
Margaret Sinclair, his wife.
PARAGRAPH 14. — The pedigree states that Joseph, of Leuchie, born
_ 1642, married in 1670 Margaret Sinclair, by whom he had a '■'■proved
and registered" son Joseph, a merchant in E'linburgh, died s.p. 1707. That the
above marriage did take place, and that the lady was buried in Greyfriars
12 May 1672, leaving an only child, Margaret, baptized 16 Feb. 1672, there
is no doubt ; but that a son Joseph was the issue thereof is conclusively dis-
proved by the following document : —
" ' I ■'HE testament dative of Joseph Marjoribanks, son to the
X deceased Joseph Marjoribanks, of Lauchie, merchant in
Edinburgh, and sailor on board the sliip St. Andrew, belong-
ing to the Company of Scotland, trading to Africa and the
Indies, who died in the month year, given
lip by Margai-et Brown, relict of Thomas Edgar, chirurgeon
apothecary, burgess of Edinburgh, formerly spouse to the
said deceased Joseph Marjoribanks, of Lauchie, and mother
to the said deceased Joseph Marjoribanks, sailor, decerned
as only executrix to the said deceased."
"Adam Brown, merchant, and late dean of gild, of Edin-
burgh, cautioner. Commissariat of Edinburgh, vol, 83, 26lh
Sept., 1707."
It may be worth remarking that Joseph Marjoribanks, the younger, is
styled "a merchant in Edinburgh" in pedigree No. i, and "an African tra-
veller " in pedigree No. 2 ; these may both be accurate. It is believed that
the explanation of his designation in the above testament will be found in the
fact that he was concerned in the ill-fated Darien expedition, and may have
been compelled to return "before the mast." John Marjoribanks, of Edin-
burgh, merchant, subscribed ^£$00 to the expedition 25 March, 1696, and
Mrs. Margaret Marjoribanks, daughter of Mr. Andrew Marjoribanks, con-
tributed ;^20o, 31 March, same year.
I MARVEL, indeed, to know what Lord Tvveedmouth will now think of his pedi-
gree and its inquisitor, more especially when " settling day " comes round, for
I am sorely afraid that the Lyon office will have to " carry over '' very heavy
" differences '' of opinion ; will he still, as in the past, echo " content," and stand
loyally by the Lyon King of Arms, and by his " proved and registered pedigree,"
or will he chafe under the painful conviction that the Lyon office has made him
"the tennis ball" in spite of himself.-' For to the authorities of that office, and
to them alone, he must attach the responsibility for his unenviable position,
and from them he must require reparation for those proceedings which have
culminated in placing an honoured name upon the dissecting table of the
public press. My "odd comments," although hidden away in a vast peerage, have
already displeased him mightily, and his ill favour, like the sword of Damocles,
is still my nightmare; for as a solatium, he solemnly promised me that he would
certainly take care to bring the matter before Mr. Gladstone, and that he would
also tell Lord Granville, whom he knew I had offended already. I fear now that
my honest doubts must entail most terrible consequences.
If, as I suppose, these promised threats have not been carried out, I think
that a more fitting opportunity has now arisen for their execution. I hope, too,
that the Chancellor of the E.xchequer may know how desirable it would be that
the stamp duty should be taken off armorial grants, or that a duty should be
placed upon all illicit coat armour — it is only fair to the man who gets a grant
and pays the Government stamp— even a penny on each quire of note paper
should not be objected to, and would yield a handsome revenue. But I must
return to the more serious purposes of this paper.
MR. FOSTER ON THE PARLIAMENTARY RETURN, &-€.
■73
The Lyon Clerk Depute has dubbed my peerage note "Odd Comments."
I think that even he — now that I have enabled him to form an approximately
correct estimate of this " proved and registered pedigree " (and also of the two
unproved and unregistered pedigrees, all on record in the Lyon office) — will
admit that my note was very necessary, and that his rejoinder was very " odd,"
indeed the most unfortunate that he could possibly have made.
I have now concluded my "soft impeachment" of the Marjoribanks pedi-
grees — an impeachment forced upon me by the imprudent comments of the Lyon
Clerk Depute. I regret that it should be so lengthy, but the summaries at
the commencement lay bare at once the points I have undertaken to prove. I
think rhe public will maintain that if a pedigree such as this be a fair specimen
of the Lyon office records, the sooner it is made an appanage of the College of
Arms in London the better. When the offices of Lyon and Ulster were made
Government departments, they should also have been made adjuncts of the
Herald's College, which would have treated their business with the same careful
scrutiny as its own. If I appear to have been more severe than the case demands,
my retort must be that I am but borrowing some of the more telling adjectives
now rusting in the stand of arms of the Lyon Clerk Depute.
" Mr. Joseph Foster on the Return of Members of
Parliament " : —
Stodart on Fostep.
"If Mr. Futtcr had gone carefully over it and
corrected these (i.e. mistakes), he would have done
good service, for which every student of history and
genealogy would have been grateful ; but he would
have filled very few pages of his periodical. He has,
however, preferred to print a separate list for eacli
kingdom, which is to contain every name "supple-
mented with genealogical notes," and he adds, — "this
is peculiarly my own ground."
"... But we would ask Mr. Foster to refrain
from printing and circulating any more of such non-
sense as his pages are full of."
"For instance. Colonel James Dundas was not
grandfather, but grcat-grandlalher, of the late George
Dundas, C.M.G., M.P. Thomas Dundas, M.P.
1768, did not purchase Fingask and Carronhall ;
these estates were bought by his father Thomas, a
merchant and bailie of Edinburgh. Sir Walter
Dundas did not sit 'as a minor baron' 1609 and
afterwards. T'his is a mistake which occurs on
almost every page; after 1587 the minor barons
ceased as such to attend parliament, the representa-
tive system was established, and the proper designa-
tion is ' Commissioner for the shire of Linlithgow,' "
Foster on Stodart.
Why suppress the fact that Collectanea, part 4,
contains a host of omissions and corrections for the
Irish Return by Rev. A. B. Beavan? So many that
the authorities at Dublin Castle have a new edition
under contemplation !
I can testify to the excellency of the compilation of
Ihe Scots return, and the more ijnportant mistakes
in this also have Ijeen supplied by Rev. A. B. Beavan.
The statement that "every name " was to be supple-
mented with genealogical nitesis Mr. Stodart 's, and
1 need hardly add is inaccurate.
The accuracy of this sentence will be disposed of in
the ensuing remarks. As to its taste, comment is
superfluous ; but have I not shown with what accuracy
it may rather apply to the proceedings and records of
the Lyon Office?
Col. Dundas' relationship is a misprint. Thomas
Dundas is said to have purchased Carron Hall on the
authority of his present representative.
Sir Walter Dundas is not said by me to have sat
as a minor baron after 1609. Really Mr. Stodart
should be more careful.
The Lyon Clerk Depute plays the pedant to perfection
when he is compelled, in order to bolster up a weak
case, to carp at the designation " members ol parlia-
ment ; " the running heading of the official return is
" Names of members returned to serve in parlia-
ment ; "
in my book it is
"Members of parliament, Scotland."
Although commissioners for burghs is a common ex-
pression, I think that of "commissioner for shires"
appears only once in the return (p. 546) ; but this is
hair-splitting. If Mr. Stodart still persists that " this
is a mistake which occurs on almost every page," I
fear he \\\\\ be alone in the poor consolation which
the disccviry of such a mare's nest aflbrds him, and
which he is not candid enough to pronounce an
finaclironi^m.

"There is one correction in the Collccta^iea.^'
Foster on Stodart.
No such " assertion " is made at page 62. The
note to James Carmichael is simply an insertion ot
data relative to a James Carmichael, and is admittedly
"a mere conjecture," as Mr. Stodart eventually
actinowledges.
I am much obliged to Mr. Stodart for correcting
my extracts from Playfair, and from Brunton 6t
Haig, and also for the Udwart correction, which,
however, was guarded by a cross reference.
This remark is misleading, for my words are Sir
John, " said to be son of Sir John."
This Gilmour note is a valuable one, as it corrects
all former accounts of the baronetcy.
It would have been much more manly to have said
a mistake made in the parlminmtary return (but see
note on page 583), and not by Mr. Foster.
The Lyon Clerk depute is in haste. Let him refer
to Scots M.P.'s, page xvii., where he will find what
he evidently supposes will not be forthcoming.
In the foregoing is contained the principal charges of inaccuracy, saving the
four references to the doubtful baronetcies, of which I must treat separately.
But I must first refer to the following passage in Mr. Stodart's article :—
Stopart on Foster.
"A casual glance having led us to
doubt whether the promises so made
to his subscribers as to accuracy,
identification, etc., were being ful-
filled, we have gone over the pages,
113 — 176, devoted in Part V. to
Members of Parliament — Scotland."
" Misprints abound."
Foster on Stodart.
The courteous Lyon Clerk Depute is, I think, needlessly — and, I
verily believe, unwittingly — offensive in his choice of words ; how far
in his professed zeal for accuracy he is anxious himself to be accurate
niay be understood when I slate that his criticisms range over at least
three times the ground he would have his unwary readers suppose,
viz., from page 28 (if not from page i) to 176, instead of from page 113
to 176 !
Excepting four references to doubtful baronetcies, which I shall
explain on the next page, there remain eleven specific blunders in the
176 pages, nine of which I have ditcussed above (four of these I have
explained away), leaving tjie two that remain and fi few trivial affairs to
take care of themselves.
Twenty misprints, extending over at least 148 (perhaps 176) pages,
not 64, as the Lyon Clerk Depute would have it inferred, are quoted ;
fhese contain two blunders from the parliamentary return, and Mr.
Stodart at least stumbles twice in his anxiety to make out a case. How
then can he justly slate that misprints abound ? Do not these figures
show at a glance that the animus for the attack is not to be found in
the blemishes of the work on the Scots M.P.'s? 1 feel that these
criticisms are barely worth the notice that I have assigned them, and
which I consider is called for merely by the waimthiand the in-
accuracies of the attack.

cognized as a baronet, and the arms confirmed to him
were those recorded in 1673 by (sic) Sweton Grant of
Gartenbeg, father of the first baronet."
" Sir Alexander, whose title Mr. Foster tries to
discredit, had on 8 July, 1761, the benefit of the
most direct recognition that it was in the power of
the Crown to afford, as he had a royal warrant for
supporters, in which he was styled " our trusty and
well-beloved Sir Alexander Grant of Dalvey, Baronet.
This and the supporters were recorded in the books of
the Lyon Court, 15 April following," etc., etc.
(2) "Hamilton, Sir Thomas of Preston. The ba-
ronetcy conferred on his son, Sir William, is said to
be extinct. The late distinguished Sir William tfamil-
ton, Professor of Logic in the University of Edinburgh,
was served heir in 18 16 and the evidence in this case
was got up with unusual care and completeness by
himself and the eminent peerage lawyer, John Riddell,
advocate,"
(3) " Hay, Sir Adam, is said to have 'assumed the
baronetcy on the death of his brother John, M.P.,'
and Sir John is called 'sixth baronet by assumption,'
with a reference to ' ' Chaos' Foster's Baronetage.'
The pedigree of this family has never, as far as we
know, been called in question." .... On 9 Nov.,
1S05, James Hay, of Haystoun, physician in Edin-
burgh, was served "heir male general of his cousin
Sir James, of Smithfield, baronet," etc., etc.
(4) " Another family of this name, unwarrantably
thrust into 'chaos' by Mr. ]''oiter in his 'Baronetage,'
is Hay of Alderston. "
Foster on StOdarT.
I would ask in all seriousness, what does this state-
ment mean? The character of a " service " is known,
but to estimate the value of a "recognition" is even a
less serious matter, it being evidence of a payment of
Lyon's fees and nothing more, not even the suspicion of
ii service or pedigree is mentioned. '
Opinions may readily differ as to what is or what is
not the most direct recognition of the Crown; suffice it
to say, that nothing short of Letters Patent wi'l create
a baronetcy, and the Crown cannot and does not
wittingly recognize any other mode ; whether it be a
grant of supporters or of anything else, and whether
" recorded in the books of the Lyon Court " or not.
From what I have said of Scotttish services and
Scottish pedigrees, I need hardly say that not the
slightest reliance can attach to them in the absence
of proofs. I have great respect for Mr. Riddell as a
genealogist, but where is the evidence in this case ?
His name rather favours the theory that the pedigree
is proveable, and it may be Well that the Lyon office
did not work it up.
Dr. William Chambers and the Lyon office are the
sponsors for this title ; why continue to go outside
the Lyon office for evidence ? What an outrage
on genealogy and common sense to state that a man
living in 1805 is cousin to a man who died in 1683,
more especially as the common ancestry is said to
have had its origin in 1525 ! surely this is calculated
to mislead English people. The fifth baronrt, so called,
succeeded 21 Oct., 1810, why then was his son John
admitted advocate nearly a year later, viz., 29 June,
1811, as son of John Hay, merchant of Edinburgh,
instead of as son of Sir John Hay, Bart,?
Sir John Hay, of Alderston, created a baronet of
Nova Scotia, with remainder to his heirs male, line
extinct on the death of his grandson ; there should be
no difficulty in obtaining the full particulars of Sir
John's brother, Alexander, the father of Thomas, lord
Huntingdon of Session, and ancestor of tlie present
baronet. Such is the unwarrantable wording of my
note in "chaos;' my contention is merely that the
particulars of the descent shoald be given, and to that
I adhere.
Mr. Foster's Peerage.
Stodart on Foster.
"We have turned to the accounts of some of the
latest created peers and find them all to contain
errors. "
(i) "Lord Derwent's dexter supporter is blazoned,
a lion murally crowned, the wood-cut gives an eastern
crown."
(2) "Lord Tweedmouth's proved and registered
pedigree is not satisfactory to Mr. Foster, who makes
some odd comments," etc, etc. See pp. 64, 65.
(3) " The Earl of Home's arms are incorrectly re-
presented ; the Douglas coat should not be in the
centre of the shield, but in the centre of the second
and third quarters."
Foster on Stodart.
This is a shameless innuendo ; nine new peerages
were created last year, and this statement involves the
theory that only three out of the nine were examined,
and that these happened to be the only ones in which
errors are to be found, — the reader will be able to
judge whether this is probable or not. I may add
that the errors in question are specified in the opposite
column.
I regret the mistake in the blazon.
I have already disposed of this paragraph at great
length.
The engraving of Earl Home's arms was approved
by his agents. The mistake, however, h.is its origin
in the difference of blazon between English and
Scottish Heraldry.

6 COLLECTANEA GENEALOGICA.
HERE terminates my detailed criticism of the Lyon Clerk Depute, who
concludes his article with some hackneyed remarks upon heraldic art which
require no further notice ; whilst I opine that none of my readers will question
for a moment that he has earned a lasting reputation for rashness. In his
wisdom he may have gleefully supposed that he had killed the snake, but in
his sadness he must penitentially admit that he has not even "scotched" it.
My impression is that when he gets thus far in his perusal he will devoutly
wish that I had indeed taken his flippant advice to confine myself " to the pretty
wide field of English genealogy " as he so prettily terms it, but that wish will
now be suggested by feelings very different from those which originally prompted it.
As I consider that I have made out a strong case in support of my opinions, I
think I may fairly conclude by making an unprejudiced appeal to impartial gene-
alogists and critics, as to the worthlessness of " services by jury," when questions
of genealogy extending beyond two or perhaps three generations have evidently
been decided upon ; evidences for which, if they ever were forthcoming, have never
been considered worthy of being preserved in any shape or way. It • is well
known that ever since I have made genealogy a study I have resolutely turned
my back upon these unrealities, because this worthless yet pretentious .system
has so firmly become an inherent part of Scottish genealogical procedure, that the
Lyon King of Arms does not hesitate to make it the basis for serious transactions.
These results will be found in " Chaos " in my Baronetage.
But I apprehend that not even the greatest enemy to the Lyon Office
procedure would ever have imagined for an instant that it was within the range
even of probability that a proved and registered peerage pedigree, compiled in that
office with all the deliberation incidental to so important a record, and from pre-
sumably irrefragable evidence, should be found on examination to contain even a
slip of the pen, much less to be riddled with mis-constructions or to bristle with
mis-statements.
With the knowledge that all the business of the Lyon Office incidental to
and founded upon these senseless services must be practically invalid, and with
such an example of pedigree-making as the exposure which this article affords, I
contend that the value of its modern records is reduced to a minimum, that the
opinions of its officers upon these subjects are deprived of the respect to which
they are naturally entitled, and that the very raison d'etre of this public office is
hereby gravely challenged.
To many the accuracy of this particular pedigree may seem a small matter.
But the fact that it is possible to drive a " coach and six '' through a Lyon office
pedigree — laden with its own blunders — is surely of some significance. It is a
serious matter that a government office — however obscure it may be — should
allow itself, in the light of this nineteenth century, to be in a position in which
its officers and their clients can justly be held up to ridicule.

2. REGISTER OF ADMISSIONS TO GRAY'S INN, 1521— 1881;— These entries refer to the gentry and their younger
sons, and as it is customary to record the parentage of each stitdeirt on his admission, so it is equally certain
that no other series of documents outside the College of Arms — saving the admissions to the various Universities
— afford so much picked information relating to bur aristocracy, or throw so much additional light upon their
genealogical history.
3. A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.— These lists are reprinted in alpha-
betical sequence from the Parliamentary Return of 1880, with short Biographical or Genealogical Notes added
to those names which can be readily identified ; Chart Pedigrees are also given, showing at a glance the
blood relationship between the various members, of the principal governing families. England, Scotland,
and Ireland are treated as separate works.
4. THE MARRIAGES OF THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED, FROM; 1655
TO 1880. — This remarkable series commences (by permission of Col. Chester) with the Westminster Abbey
registers ; and is continued from the Hiftoi-ical Register and Gentleman' s Magazine, concluding with the
Jlatches from the Ti'mcj;, 1865 to 1880, The Marriages from the Historical Register and Gentleman's Magazine,
1727 to 1867, are edited by Miss Ada C. Gardner. This lady is great-niece of Rev. James Dalla way, M.A.,
F.S.A., Earl Marshal's Secretary, better known as the historian of Sussex.
5. MUSGRAVE'S OBITUARY.— The Deaths of the Nobility and Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland prior to iSoo,
compiled originally by Sir William iVI{JSGRAVE,;Bart,, from printed works^ with which is incorporated (by
permission) the Westminster Abbey registers, edited by the late Col. Chest kr, D.C. L.
6. FUNERAL CERTIFICATES OF THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY OF IRELAND, 1607 TO 1729.— These are
reprinted from the British Museum copy of the office book in Ulster's (office, Dublin Gastle, and are accom-
panied by Tabular Pedigrees and- copious annotations.
7. SIMS' INDEX TO. HERALD'S VISITATIONS, ETC.— An Alphabetical List of Families whose pedigrees are
recorded in the Herald's Visitations and other. MS. in the British Mviseura, including additions from the -
collections of Sir GEORGE Naylor, Garter King of Arms, and Sir Willtam Be;tham, Ulster King of Arms,
relating to families in Ireland and Scotland. This will be the first general Index to these 'Visitation Pedigrees
printed in alphabetical order.
