Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Baronetage, Vol. 1: 1611-1625 This work is intended to set forth the entire Baronetage, giving a short account of all holders of the dignity, as also of their wives, with (as far as can be ascertained) the name and description of the parents of both parties. It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee. Baronetcies, will, accordingly, be here treated of according to the date of their creation; thus, the reign of James I will be first dealt with and will comprise the English Baronetcies (1611-1625) and the Irish Baronetcies (1619-1625) conferred by that King; then will follow the reign of Charles I, which will comprise the English, Irish and Scotch (or Nova Scotia) Baronetcies (these last having been first instituted in this reign in 1625) conferred (1625-1649) by that King.
