reference, both so well known for careful editing that it
is need- less to commend them particularly to the public. These are Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage (Dean and Son), and Dod's Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.)—In Debrett (which, by the way, is not far from completing its second century of existence), Peers, Baronets, and Knights are separately arranged. The accounts of the hereditary titles are supplemented, in every case by full tables of collaterals.
The Knightage, again, is followed by a Companionage, extending to more than a hundred and twenty pages. Dod is comparatively young, numbering fifty-four years only. Here, all the titled per-
sonages in the Empire are arranged in alphabetical order, while a second part gives the "courtesy titles." A full account of precedence, both British and Colonial, is given.
