About This Book

The volume compiles nearly eight thousand concise biographies of English persons who died since 1850, arranged alphabetically by surname with peers entered under their titles. Each entry gives essential life facts, short authoritative titles for authored works when relevant, references to portraits and likenesses, and pointers to longer accounts. Material is drawn from newspapers, society transactions, official registers, and private correspondence to verify dates, honours, and particulars. An extensive index groups occupational headings, stage and fancy names, knightages, and other topical entries to assist quick reference.
