POPULAR GENEALOGISTS OR THE ART OF PEDIGREE MAKING
"We have here an agreeable little treatise of a hundred pages, from an anonymous but evidently competent hand, on the ludicrous and fraudulent sides of genealogy. The subject has a serious and important historical character, when regarded from the point of view of the authors of _The Governing Families of England_. But it is rich in the materials of comedy also.
"The first case selected by the writer before us is one which has often excited our mirth by the very completeness of its unrivalled absurdity. Nobody can turn over the popular genealogical books of our day without dropping on a family called Coulthart of Coulthart, Collyn, and Ashton-under-Lyne. The pedigree given makes the house beyond all question the oldest in Europe. Neither the Bourbons nor Her Majesty’s family can be satisfactorily carried beyond the ninth century, whereas the Coultharts were by that time an old and distinguished house.
"We are glad to see such a step taken in the good work as the publication of the essay which has suggested this article, and which we commend to those who want a bit of instructive and amusing reading."—_Pall Mall Gazette._
