Titles of Honour and Nobility in English History
Reads like a historical survey of noble ranks and titles in England. It traces the origins and meanings of ducal and noble terms from medieval times through Tudor and Hanoverian periods, noting how titles evolved, were created, and occasionally fell from use, with references to kings such as Edward III, Elizabeth I, James I, and Henry IV, and to institutions like the Order of the Garter and baronets. It discusses earls, marquises, dukes, knights, and esquires, and explains who might bear these dignities in law and custom.

Testamentary Paper in Langdon Case at Prerogative Court
In London the Prerogative Court reviewed a contested will substitute left by a deceased woman who omitted her son Philip Langdon from the document. The paper, drafted in a roughly informal form, was challenged as insufficient to operate as a testament, with arguments focusing on the deceased’s intentions, family ties, and prior affections. The court heard testimony from Adams and Dr. Dodson for Langdon and debated whether the writing could stand as a valid will or should be rejected.
