Synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of Dignities, Privilege, and Precedence: Including Lists of the Great Public Functionaries, From the Revolution to the Present Time

Tables of Precedence. Characterized at once by dogmatism and incompleteness, they were not even free from the charge of inaccuracy; and though constructed on a most inconvenient plan for the reader, yet the accompanying facility of compilation did not induce fulness, accuracy, or authenticity. Although they furnished some clue to the rank pos sessed by each grade in the peerage, being a meagre series of general titles, they contained no information, by general rule or particular example, respecting the precedence of the individual members of such a class.
