Excerpt from Order of Precedence: With Authorities and Remarks The fifth table was framed in the early part or the reign of King Henry VII., and probably upon or soon after his marriage, by Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford, and other Nobles by the King's ap pointment, and is spoken of by Lord Coke as a. Record of great authority. The Tables here given comprehend the various classes of the Nobility and Commonalty whose places in the general order of Precedence may now be said to be determined and recognised by the Crown. The notes appended thereto are for the purpose of showing, in every instance, upon what authority such order of Precedence is based. No direct order of the Crown exists for this table of Pre cedence, as a whole, but it rests on various grounds; - some portion being ordered by statutory enact ments, some by the authority of the Crown, some by the orders and decisions of the Earls Marshal of England, their Deputies, or the Commissioners appointed from time to time to execute that office, whilst others rest upon ancient and established usage, acted upon and admitted upon various public occa sions during several centuries, and, consequently, so sanctioned by the Crown, that they may be said to have acquired the force of law. The tables, respectively cited in the notes, are those here described, and are the authorities for placing the younger Sons of the various degrees of the Peerage, as well as other persons, and form the basis upon which that precedence is assigned, which is said to rest upon ancient and established usage. In all other instances, the particular statutes, orders, declarations, or decrees, will be found to be fully stated. The notes, in some places, are extended so as to give the substance of the authorities quoted, and thereby save the trouble of numerous references; a few incidental remarks will be found in reference to certain legal functionaries, who, although they have not any especial rank in the general order of precedence, have, nevertheless, place assigned to them in certain State Ceremonials.
