It is in connec tion with these so-called Nova Scotia baronetcies that a vast amount of con fusion has arisen. For authority seems to have been conferred by the. crown upon Sir William Alexander, subsequently created Karl of Stirling, to sell a certain number of baronetcies on the American side of tlie. Atlantic. About 200 patents were given film in blank lor the purpose, he undertaking to 1111 in tlie name of the purchaser. The vicissitudes of tbe colonial un dertaking of l,ord Stirling were such Neva Scotia baronetcies tints sold, all data on the subject having been lost. The result of this is that there are at (he present time many self-styled baronets,' quartering tbe arms of Nova Kent in. ,and whose dignity reposes tip on Ibe.ir own statement and assump tion.
