Peerage Law in England 
A Practical Treatise for Lawyers and Laymen; With an Appendix of Peerage Charters and Letters Patent; (In English)

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Peerage law in England possesses a wide and enduring interest. It appeals alike to the lawyer and the states’ man, to the student of history and to the antiquarian. It appeals, on personal grounds, to those who are descended (and their number is legion) from ennobled ancestors; and last, not least, it appeals to those who possess or hope to inherit or recover an existing peerage.
