Excerpt from Calendar of Knights: Containing Lists of Knights Bachelors, British Knights of Foreign Orders, Also Knights of the Garter, Thistle, Bath, St. Patrick, and the Guelphic and Ionian Orders, From 1760 to the Present Time

The want which, in the course of his professional pursuits, the Editor has repeatedly felt, of some work which should identify, at least, the professions, resi deuces, subsequent honours, if any, and times of death, of persons on whom the honour of knighthood had been conferred, first led him to commence, for his own private use, a Collection on that subject, the more modern (as the more immediately interesting) portion of which he here ventures to offer to the Pub lic, in the hope that it may facilitate the researches of others in a branch of study now becoming daily more and more followed.
