Compiled by Thomas Christopher Banks (cf. BAS/02). The first part of a projected series intended for publication (see title page, fol. 1), containing accounts of the dukedoms of England (Somerset-Cleveland, 4th creation 1833), Scotland (Hamilton-Roxburgh) and Ireland (Leinster); c. 1833-42. Consists of selective historical notes on ducal families, written in an idiosyncratic style and drawing attention to irregularities of descent. Some leaves now wanting, e.g. the account of the House of Hanover (mentioned on fol. 1) and leaves in Bedford (before fol. 13) and Wellington (before fol. 33).
