This orphaned single volume has been rebound in a sturdy, modern brown cloth, yielding an exceptionally tight and fresh binding free from any notable shelf-wear or corner bumping. The gilt titling to the spine remains bright and unoxidised. Internally, the text block preserves its original uncut, deckled edges, affording a handsome rustic texture. The pages exhibit expected age-toning, with moderate to heavy foxing largely concentrated on the preliminary leaves, the engraved title page, and the printed title page. Despite this spotting, the text remains crisp and entirely legible throughout, and the secure hinges make this a highly robust and functional copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is the \"Thirteenth Edition, Considerably Improved\" of John Debrett's authoritative social register, published in the late Georgian period shortly before the author's passing. This specific listing comprises Volume I (England) only, making it an excellent, focused reference tool for researchers studying the English aristocracy of the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume features a charming engraved title page adorned with an elaborate heraldic starburst order emblem, which precedes the primary printed title page. Original 1820 printings of Debrett’s have become increasingly scarce on the open market, frequently overshadowed by modern print-on-demand facsimiles. While complete sets in their original contemporary bindings command a premium, this orphaned volume, securely preserved in a modern cloth rebind, offers a highly accessible, durable alternative for the working historian or genealogist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fascinating window into the aristocratic hierarchy of late Georgian Britain, this 1820 edition of Debrett's Peerage provides a meticulous and authoritative catalogue of the English nobility. Compiled by John Debrett, this essential social register captures the lineages, titles, and heraldic details of the most prominent families of the era, serving as an indispensable historical and genealogical resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54565441536339,"sku":"5005","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260809_183324.jpg?v=1786512207","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-peerage-of-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-ireland-vol-i-england","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
