There are two articles in "the Her. and Gen.," Vol, br, one (pp. 170-176) on "Royal titles of Peerage, 1494-1866," and the other (pp. 270-273) on "Semi Royal titles of Peerage." In the first it is pointed out how, since the accession of the Sonne of York, the Dukedom of York has, for 4 centuries, invariably," when vacant, been bestowed on the tecond son of the Sovereign (a tradition followed by the House of Stuart, even in exile) till 1866, when the second son of the Sovereign waser.

The second article (by " N. H. S.") deals with Peerages '* bestowed upon the left handed relatives of our Princes," i.e. the bastards and mistresses of our Kings since the accession of the House of Tudor. The persons thus ennobled (no mention being made of inferior titles) were 1 8, vis. 1 1 bastards and 7 mistresses.
