In 1891, John Bernard Burke published a single volume covering the lineages of many of the leading colonial families of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, South Africa, and other parts of the British Empire.

The two volumes are reprinted here as one, complete with 120 coats of arms and an index of names and addresses of all persons referred to in the pedigrees.
