Barham | The extinct Peerage at the end is not part of this Synopsis'. (Bound in at the end of the volume is a sixteen-page printed list of 'The Dormand and Extinct Peerages of England'.)

On p.35, of Sir Charles Burton, Barham adds: 'He was described at his trial as of St Gregorys & the offence was committed in the shop of John Ward of St Paul's Ch Yd 12 July 1722. His sentence was commuted at the following Sessions in Octr. 1722 when he was ordered to be privately whipt'. And on p.73, of Sir William Estcourt, Barham writes: 'Mr St John (father of the celebrated Ld Bolingbroke) was seated with him in a social party when, in the heat of a sudden altercation, St John ran his sword through the Baronet's body before any body could interfere & killed him on the spot. He was tried & convicted of the murder, but received a reprieve from the King for a long term of years, which he was near outliving as he survived the murder 58 years dying in 1742 aet. 90'.

Richard Bentley. London. 1852. In Three Volumes. Fifth edition. Original blue cloth gilt. Vol. I: xii, 338, [1] appendix. Engraved decorative title, vignette to introduction plus 6 engraved plates, all rather macabre and by artists such as George Cruikshank. Vol. II: vii, 288 pages. Engraved title page and 7, often bizarre, plates. Vol. III: vi, [ii], 364 pages. Portrait frontis plus 5 engraved plates. All plates present as called for plus engraved head and tail-pieces throughout. Some gatherings stand slightly proud from main body of text but this is a remarkably clean, fresh and sound set of this famous collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poetry collected by Barham.
