Du tres-haut tres-puissant et tres-illustre Prince GUJLLAUME Fils de la Princesse ANNE par le Prince GEORGE de DANEMARC Chevalier du tres-noble Ordre de la JARTJER◠Installé au Château de WJNDESORE le 24 me jou de Juillet l'an MDCXCVI TO THE Most Illustrious and High-born Prince WILLIAM Duke of Gloucester c. KNIGHT and COMPANION Of the Most Noble Order of the GARTER May it please your Highness YOUR near Relation to the Imperial Crown of England whence those HONORS compris'd in this ensuing Treatise are deriv'd induced me with all Submissive Deference to lay these First-fruits of my poor Endeavours at Your Highnesses Feet as an humble Oblation of my Dutiful Service in a modest Assurance of Your Favourable Acceptance and Patronage an Encouragement able to put Life into the Meanest Undertaker and without which it must never have appear'd in Public the Author being every way too Inconsiderable to afford it the least Protection The much-lov'd Name of Favourite GLOUCESTER is alone sufficient to Guard it against the Censures of the Prejudic'd and Envious who thro' a lazy Malignity decry many very Useful Performances rather than take the Pains of out-doing 'em by any Commendable Attempts of their Own That Noble Disposition and Generous Condescension Mighty PRINCE so eminently Conspicuous in Your Highness is too well Known and justly Celebrated to receive an Additional Lustre from any faint Encomiums of mine I shall therefore readily acknowledge my own Inability by declining the Custom of such Addresses and only Presume to make it my Constant and most Ardent Prayer That Your Great Birth and Glorious Endowments may be further Ennobled by Your yet Greater and more Glorious Atchievements And that as You are now in Your Blooming Youth the Darling Object of Great Britain 's most Promising Hopes so in Your Riper Age You may be the Delightful Subject of its Loftiest Panegyrics and Europe 's united Admiration That so after You 've attain'd the Highest Step of Earthly Grandeur and numerous Years prosperously enjoy'd the Happy Honor You may from thence have the easier Ascent to a Celestial Throne Which as 't is the NATIONS Universal Wish shall in a more especial manner be sincerely offer'd up to Heaven by Illustrious SIR Your HIGHNESS's Most humbly Devoted and most Faithful Servant ROBERT DALE ☞ Note The King of Sweden is very lately Dead whereby the First Stall on the Prince's Side in the Scheme of the Knights of the Garter inserted after the Preface is become Void And That the late PROMOTIONS with the Alterations made at Court upon His Majesty's going beyond Sea are all carefully observ'd in the Supplemental Addenda c. following the Index THE PREFACE MY PROFESSION obliging me in some measure to acquaint my self with these Matters of HONOR I began this Collection purely for my own private Satisfaction and having finish'd it was perswaded to make it Public in hope 't would not prove altogether Unacceptable to the Curious who rather want the Leisure than Convenience for a more Perfect Information by consulting those large and elaborate Volumes Sir William Dugdale Knight late Garter Principal King of Arms and some time Blanch-Lion Pursuivant Extraordinary hath written on this Subject I mean his BARONAGE and SUMMONS to PARLIAMENT which I've chiefly follow'd excepting where by the Light of other Approv'd Authors it may reasonably be Presum'd those BOOKS are mistaken What was further Requisite for Accomplishing this Work is taken from the best Authorities and Intelligence that could well be had and therefore I dare be Answerable 't is less Erroneous than any Thing of the like kind yet extant altho' it must fall short of Absolute Perfection that the Difficulties consider'd being almost Impossible in such an Vndertaking The METHOD I 've pursu'd herein is so apparently easie and natural it needs no Explanation However lest any may Except against the orderly Distribution of the Accidental Official Titles 't will notwithstanding be necessary for me frankly to acknowledge That I could never yet observe there was any constant settl'd Rule for the due Regulation of 'em but that every Writer on this Subject manifestly appears to have been guided by his own particular Fancy with some little Regard to the smoother Currency of Stile So that having in this Composure first set down in order the Hereditary and then subjoin'd all the other Temporary Honors which occurr'd to my Knowledg with respect to their closer Connexion and Affinity I shall not here in the least Endeavour to Justifie much less Impose my Opinion but freely afford every one as Occasion requires the liberty of ranking them according to their various Judgments and Discretion I may rationally suppose NONE can be so wilfully Blind as not to perceive That the CREATIONS for the most part have Reference to the nearer or more remote Ancestors or Ancestor of the respective Nobleman to whom they are immediately apply'd and generally concentre in Him as the Heir by Lineal or Collateral Succession according to the Prime Entails unless in some of the latest Promotions which are therefore both Obvious and well enough Known t o've been Conferr'd on the present Possessors But the Baronies by Writ being many times deriv'd thro' several Heirs general successively seem'd I confess to exact a more Intelligible Deduction for notwithstanding the Different Summons of the Families by whom they Descend to those who now enjoy the Titles be punctually recounted some Persons it 's probable may expect I should have been more Express yet that will be soon Answer'd for if 't be consider'd I propose not a full and perspicuous Illustration of their Genealogical Series as being already Perform'd by Able Hands but only a Slight Glance at the Intermedial Course of such Honors by Female Heirs from one Surname to another for the more certain Passage to their Original Source and Rise Nevertheless in some sort to Excuse my self and partly remove that Inconvenience I shall gratifie the Reader with a summary Account of all the Barons call'd to Parliament by Writ treated of in this small Piece as they present themselves to View in the several Pages thereof whereunto the Numbers foregoing 'em exactly refer viz. Pag. 10. Howard Duke of Norfolk Num. 1. Baron Howard by Writ And also Baron Mowbray by Summons in right of Descent from an Heiress of Mowbray Duke of Norfolk and Baron Mowbray the First Earl-Marshal of England This Illustrious Family came to the
Coat hath been Assum'd and the Paternal either Disus'd or entirely Relinquish'd By the Hints under this Head 't will not be difficult to guess whose Natural Issue those were who are either Illegitimate or descend from such Ancestors as for instance in the Duke of Berwick The Arms of King James the Second are describ'd within a Bordure Componé Gules and Azure the First charg'd with Lions of England and the Last with Fleurs de Lis of France the Distinction give him by that King denoting both his Illegitimacy and Father In the Proper Coats of several LORDS SPIRITUAL for default of Constant Entries in our Visitation-Registers I was under a necessity of having Recourse to Seals and Sculptures where the Colours not appearing or being at best very dubiously distinguish'd I thought 't would much better become me in so great an Incertainty to acquiesce with giving some Notice of the Charge and leave the Blazon deficient than unadvisedly hazard the not doing their Lordships Right or perchance Injuring any other Families of their or another Name It remains now I should suggest but One Thing more to inform the Reader That for rendring my DESIGN complete I have Prefix'd a SCHEME which by Inspection shews him the Installations of the Knights of the Garter respectively and likewise Affix'd a Perfect INDEX Alphabetically digested whereby he may certainly find what TITLES of HONOR exist in any of the Nobility as also in what Counties those Places lie from whence they are assum'd most especially Useful to such as may be Unacquainted who are really PEERS or only Titular Lords by the Courtesie of England as the Eldest Sons of Noblemen bearing their Father 's Inferiour Title To conclude As neither my Years nor Reading furnish'd me with any great Advantages for this ESSAY wherein too I 've been wholly destitute of all foreign Assistance So no Pains hath been spar'd which might conduce to make it Correct Therefore I hope 't will find the more Candid Construction from the Ingenuous Perusers And to such as may Dislike it I shall Address my self only with an Apology borrow'd from Horace Si quid novisti rectius istis Candidus imperti Si non his utere mecum A True LIST of all the present KNIGHTS of the most Noble ORDER of the GARTER in a SCHEME of the STALLS of the SOVERAIGN and KNIGHTS COMPANIONS of the said most Noble ORDER as they now stand in the ROYAL CHAPPEL of St. GEORGE within the COLLEGE in the CASTLE at WINDSOR shewing the TIMES of their respective INSTALLATIONS The SOVERAIGNS Side 3.
