Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pedigree of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Now First Given From the Records of the College of Arms
As far as I am aware no Pedigree of Shelley has ever been published; and this seemed to me so notable a Want that I enquired at the College of Arms what Pedigree was among the records there. Mr. Stephen Tucker with the readiest kindness made the search for me, and found the remarkable Genealogy which is printed 'in the present volumes I am told that not even an extract from it has been printed before; and I wish to record my warm thanks to Mr. Tucker for placing at my disposal a certified copy of the Pedigree and its Proofs from which the documents are here given. The Pedigree speaks for itself to any careful reader; and a glance at the shield of twenty-one quarterings will, to those who have the slightest knowledge of heraldry, be highly.
