The book had long ago established itself as a recognised work of reference, and as an indispensable adjunct to every library ; and being suitable to the needs and purposes of jewellers and engravers, it had also from its first publication been adopted and accepted as the standard work of reference for business and trade purposes. By far the larger proportion of armorial orders placed in the hands of tradesmen for execution are carried out with the assistance of " Fairbairn."

The preparation of this work has  already been the means of bringing together kinsfolk from both sides of  the globe, and I trust that the result of my labours may still further tend  to promote that family love and unity which has always been the  characteristic trait of our race.  These volumes contain details of hundreds families throughout the  world.  Price £7.50 including U.K. P & P
