Excerpt from The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct, or Dormant, Vol. 4
The Editor much regrets that so long an interval has passed since the third volume was issued. The delay is due to the fact that a large amount of research had to be undertaken in connection with the preparation of the accounts of baronies by writ, which are being written on a much larger scale than was contemplated originally.
By the death of Mr. Bright Brown the Editor has lost a valued contributor, who supplied him with many notes and corrections. He is indebted to Mr. F. M. Brown for generously placing the MS. collections left by his brother at the disposal of this work.
