Dedication signed: Anne, Eliza, and Maria Innes, editors
From motives of benevolence Lodge lent his name to an 'Annual peerage and baronetage,' 4 vols. 12mo, 1827-9, reissued in 1832 as the 'Peerage of the British Empire,' &c., which was in reality the compilation of Anne, Eliza, and Maria Innes. The work is still published as 'Lodge's Peerage.'"--Dict. nat. biog
In his preface to the 1st ed. Lodge says that the work "is classed in two volumes,--the one [i.e., The peerage of the British Empire] comprising the living subjects of the British peerage, including their collateral branches ... and the other [i.e., The genealogy of the British Empire, 1832] exhibiting concise historical sketches of their ancestry and families ... Each volume may be considered either as a whole or as a moiety." They are usually regarded as independent volumes, the latter being by Lodge himself and from its nature not calling for a new ed. each year
