A reprint of the third and final edition, which has substantial additions, including a eulogy by Ben Jonson. First published in 1614, this foundational work examines the origins, evolution, and precedence of nobility and titles. It begins with a general discussion of titles and nobility. This is followed by a consideration of the nobility of ancient Greece and Rome, Europe, the British Isles, the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches, the Middle East and Asia. The final chapters survey various aspects of ceremony and precedence. The text is complemented with numerous illustrations of court dress, insignia and maps.

John Selden [1584-1654], a lawyer and a formidable polymath, was hailed by John Milton as "the chief of learned men reputed in this land." Selden's scholarship was vast, spanning rabbinical law, Middle Eastern history, and English constitutionalism. Also an important political figure, Selden played a central role in the constitutional struggles between the Stuart monarchy and Parliament. He served in multiple Parliaments and was instrumental in drafting the Petition of Right (1628), which sought to limit the King's arbitrary powers.
