Note the faulty pagination (pp. 172, 175, 176, 173, 174, 177), found within Part I of the book.
The section with the heading ‘LACIES NOBILITIE’ includes hand-coloured pedigrees (with duplicate pages) illustrating ‘The Earles Palatines of Chester’, and is taken from the Part II of the book.
The final double-page spread (pp. 122-23) displayed here is a hand-coloured pedigree illustrating ‘The Baronie of Halton’.
