Excerpt from Catalogue of Engraved British Portraits, Vol. 4: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum The following is the fourth volume of the Catalogue of 'Engraved British Portraits, ' the work of Mr. Freeman O'Donoghue, the first volume of which was published by the Trustees in 1908, the second in 1910, and the third in 1912. The fifth volume is intended to contain a section describing engraved portrait groups, a supplement dealing with portraits added during the printing of the Catalogue, and an index to painters and engravers. The present volume includes the letters S - Z. The same general principles of order and arrangement have been followed in this as in the former volumes. They are fully stated in the Preface to Vol. I., and are here recapitulated in order to save uncertainty and trouble to those using the present volume separately. Royal personages are in all cases entered under their Christian names. When two or more persons, not being peers or peeresses, bear the same surname, they are catalogued in the alphabetical order of their Christian names. Peers and peeresses are placed under their titles, the ladies following their husbands. In cases where the same title has been held at different periods by persons of different name and family, the several groups of holders are arranged not in the alphabetical order of their family names but in order of date. Successive holders of the same title who belonged to the same family are similarly arranged in order of succession and not in the alphabetical order of their Christian names. In cases where the title of nobility is also the family name, the holder of the title is placed before commoners of the same name. All titled persons are catalogued under the latest style or title to which they attained, cross-references being given from any earlier style or title appearing on portraits of them engraved before their final promotion.
