This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Edward Solly, Pub. 1879, reprinted 2023, 214 pages, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-102-9. This book is an index of approximately 5,750 titles of honour, arranged in alphabetically order. It gives the family name for all the English, Scottish and Irish Peerages and Baronetages both existing and extinct at the time the work was originally published. It also lists the date when each separate title was conferred, the family seat, and the changes which the titles underwent. Since hereditary titles of honour often are used by direct male descendants and, in some creations, by heirs in general, the family names themselves are little known. Identification of family hereditary honours is thus facilitated through the use of this index.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Index of Hereditary English, Scottish, and Irish Titles of Honour A few words are needed, not only to explain what this Index is, but also what it is not. It is an index of the Peerages and Baronetages of the United Kingdom, showing the date when each separate title was conferred, the changes which they underwent, and their present condition, whether existent, modified, dormant, or extinct. It is therefore a guide or reference to the existing and extinct Peerages and Baronetages of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It has no pretensions to be a Peerage, or in any way to take the place of the valuable works of Burke, Lodge, Debrett, and others; these volumes now form a small library in themselves, and the present index is merely designed to point out in which of the Peerages or Baronetages any given title is to be found.

This book was released on 2006-01-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity--that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident--is today ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century--chronicling along the way much of what we now call the natural and social sciences. The book charts where the term went, with whom it resided, and how it fared. We cross oceans and academic specialties and meet those people, both famous and now obscure, who have used and abused serendipity. We encounter a linguistic sage, walk down the illustrious halls of the Harvard Medical School, attend the (serendipitous) birth of penicillin, and meet someone who "manages serendipity" for the U.S. Navy. The story of serendipity is fascinating; that of The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity, equally so. Written in the 1950s by already-eminent sociologist Robert Merton and Elinor Barber, the book--though occasionally and most tantalizingly cited--was intentionally never published. This is all the more curious because it so remarkably anticipated subsequent battles over research and funding--many of which centered on the role of serendipity in science. Finally, shortly after his ninety-first birthday, following Barber's death and preceding his own by but a little, Merton agreed to expand and publish this major work. Beautifully written, the book is permeated by the prodigious intellectual curiosity and generosity that characterized Merton's influential On the Shoulders of Giants. Absolutely entertaining as the history of a word, the book is also tremendously important to all who value the miracle of intellectual discovery. It represents Merton's lifelong protest against that rhetoric of science that defines discovery as anything other than a messy blend of inspiration, perspiration, error, and happy chance--anything other than serendipity.
