Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage, and Companionage (Dean and Son) has,

we think, precedence over all rival books of dignity. This, we are told, is the "177th year of publication." It is described as "comprising information concerning all persons bearing hereditary or courtesy titles, Companions of all the various Orders, and the collateral branches of all peers and baronets." But why a misprint on the title-page—" heriditary" ?
