Listing people by area and by office this book contains the names of the professional and noble classes. Included are lists of royal family and their household, the ministry, Privy Council, House of Peers, County Families, County Justices, Beneficed Clergy, Legal and Medical profession, town councillors and others.
Like a trades directory, it usually gives the persons full address details too.
