Publication: London, F. C. and J. Rivington, 1808

Formatting: 12mo. Volume II only, exact pagination unverified.

Condition Report: Very Good. The volume has been sensibly rebound in a sturdy, plain modern brown cloth that provides a tight, highly functional binding with zero shelf-wear or bumping to the boards. Internally, the text block features untrimmed, deckled edges which are noticeably darkened and age-toned. There is moderate foxing and tanning to the preliminary and final leaves, alongside standard age-toning throughout the text block margins. New cream endpapers have been securely fitted. Overall, it remains a robust, clean, and highly readable working copy.

Catalogue Note: First Edition, Volume II only. The text is unillustrated, as is standard for this early reference edition.

Provenance includes an early ink ownership signature ("M. S. Armistead") to the upper margin of the half-title page.

While complete two-volume sets in contemporary bindings are increasingly scarce, this cleanly rebound, orphaned volume serves as a practical reading copy for a genealogist or an ideal replacement for a collector missing the second volume of their set.

A fascinating window into early nineteenth-century British aristocracy, this is the first edition (Volume II) of John Debrett’s monumental Baronetage of England. Serving as the definitive register of the realm's baronets, this volume meticulously chronicles their descents, marriages, collateral branches, and mottos, capturing the social and genealogical landscape of the Georgian era. An essential and evocative reference work for historians, genealogists, and enthusiasts of British nobility.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
