This work, formed on a plan precisely similar to that of Mr. Burke's
popular Dictionary of the present Peerage and Baronetage, comprises
those peerages which have been suspended or extinguished since the
Conquest, particularising the members of each family in each generation,
and bringing the lineage, in all possible cases, through either
collaterals or females, down to existing houses. It connects, in many
instances, the new with the old nobility, and it will in all cases show
the cause which has influenced the revival of an extinct dignity in a
new creation. It should be particularly noticed, that this new work
appertains nearly as much to extant as to extinct persons of
distinction; for though dignities pass away, it rarely occurs that whole
families do.

The leading feature of this important work is its application to the
great question now at issue between our Protestant and Catholic
fellow-subjects. It contains a complete _expose_ of the Romish Church
Establishment during the eighteenth century, and of the abuses of the
Jesuits throughout the greater part of Europe. Many particulars of the
most thrilling kind are brought to light.
