A little variation in the shade of green cloth, as volumes were published over nearly half a century, but a handsome and very attractive set.***This monumental work was first published between 1887 and 1898 in 8 vols, compiled by 'G.E.C.' (George Edward Cokayne) who was Clarenceux King of Arms. The second, greatly enlarged edition was edited by Vicary Gibbs, GEC's nephew. Over the 49 years it took to publish the work he was succeeded as editor by H A Doubleday, Duncan Warrand, Lord Howard De Walden and Geoffrey H White. Vol XIV was edited by Peter W Hammond. The total number of pages in the 15 vols is 12,166, amounting to around 7,000,000 words. There were continual problems with financing the work and the introduction to vol XIV includes a short history of the trials and tribulations experienced by successive editors over several decades. The result of the labours of three generations of scholars is an indispensable work of reference that includes a full historical and genealogical account of every peerage created in the British Isles since the Conquest. Weight is about 38 kg. UK postage is included in the default postal charge.…
