Sinopsis

Birth and Worth: An Inquiry into the Practical Uses of a Pedigree is a book written by Robert Phipps Dod and originally published in 1849. The book explores the importance of genealogy and lineage in determining an individual?s worth and social status during the Victorian era. Dod argues that a person?s ancestry and family history can have a significant impact on their success and opportunities in life, and that having a pedigree can be a valuable asset in society.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the topic. Dod begins by discussing the history of genealogy and the different methods used to trace family lineage. He then goes on to examine the practical uses of a pedigree, including how it can be used to establish social connections, secure employment, and gain access to exclusive clubs and organizations.Throughout the book, Dod emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate and detailed records of one?s family history. He provides examples of individuals who were able to use their pedigrees to achieve success and social standing, as well as those who suffered because of a lack of information about their ancestry.Overall, Birth and Worth is a fascinating exploration of the role of genealogy in Victorian society. It provides valuable insights into the social and cultural norms of the time, as well as the ways in which individuals sought to establish themselves in a highly stratified society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
