The present Bath King at Arms, whose deputy is Francis Townshend, Esq. F. A. S., Windsor. Brunswick Blanc Coursier, and Genealogist. Rod. Now Sir Isaac Heard, Garter, and Gentleman Usher of the Scarlet BLANC COURSIER, AND GENEALOGIST. Geo. 11. SACKVILLE FOX, Esq. He married on September 30, 1792, at Somerby, in Leicestershire, a sister of Major Cheselden of that place, descended from a brother of the good and skilful Cheselden. Immediately after his marriage, resigning this office, he retired to his seat of Leesthorp, also in the county of Leicester. September, GEORGE III. of the Bath. Blanc Coursier and Genealo September, 1792-GEORGE NAYLER, Esq. F. A. S. York, is the present Blanc Coursier and Genealogist. In this last Officers, &c. office he exceeds every thing that could have been supposed. I have never reflected upon his splendid folios' in MS. of the genealogies of the Knights of the Bath without admiration: so full, so accurate, so finely written, and gist. so elegantly emblazoned, they will be perfect patterns for succeeding gentlemen who may follow him in this office. He has the greater merit, as the genealogical part of his department had been for some time wholly omitted. It is not the Author's friendship, which is unfeignedly great for Mr. Nayler, but the exactest truth that guides his pen.* * In this reign we have had these other officers belonging to the Order of the Bath.
