Burke's Peerage & Baronetage

Since its first publication in 1826, Burke's Peerage has been rightly regarded as the authoritative reference book on the British aristocracy and, consequently, has become an institution in its own right. The 106th Edition of Burke's, the first to be produced in 30 years, has now been published.

Appreciative of the tradition and reputation of Burke's, editor Charles Mosley and his team of academic experts and senior genealogists have been engaged in the revision for several years -- to ensure that this new edition is both accurate and complete. While adhering to its established format in listing the details of 108,000 living people (numerous of whom now live in the United States and in the various countries of the British Commonwealth), the 106th Burke's incorporates some important changes that make this new edition easy to use. For the first time it includes a full index (of some 250 pages) for all living persons. A larger typeface with practical use of bold print and a clearer, easy-to-follow layout combine to make it much simpler to read and understand.
