About This Book
A guide to correct forms of address in speech and correspondence. It
covers both formal and social occasions, and includes the forms of
address for bishops, peers, privy counsellors, ambassadors, JPs and
mayors. Where honours, decorations and degrees appear after the name as
letters, an explanation and the correct sequence is given. This edition
is revised and updated to cover changing conventions. Now in its 22nd edition, this book has been in constant demand for over 85 years.

Notes on the Use of Abbreviations for Honorific and Other Affixes
In no circumstances do honorific initials (even VC) appear on visiting cards. | |
Honorific affixes, whether military decorations or not, should be appended in addressing formal letters; but not in the case of Privy Counsellors. | |
Affixes indicating professional qualification or official status should be used only when addressing the correspondent in his or her professional or official capacity. This includes DL and JP. | |
The order of letters after the name (and after the abbreviations Bt or Esq., if they apply) is fixed, and should be followed as set out below. | |
First | Decorations and Honours |
These should not be omitted, if any letters are used at all, and in most cases it is preferable to include them in an address. They should be written in the sequence given on page 165. | |
