Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURKE, SIR JOHN BERNARD (18141892) , British genealogist, was born in London, on the 5th of January 1814, and was educated in London and in France. His father, John
Burke
  (17871848), was also a genealogist, and in 1826 issued a Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the United Kingdom. This
work
 , generally known as
Burke
 's Peerage, has been issued annually since 1847. While practising as a
barrister
 
Bernard
  Burke assisted his father in his genealogical
work
 , and in 1848 took
control
  of his publications. In 1853 he was appointed Ulster king-at-arms; in 1854 he was knighted; and in 1855 he became keeper of the state papers in Ireland. After having devoted his life to genealogical studies he died in Dublin on the 12th of December 1892. In addition to editing Burke's Peerage from 1847 to his death, Burke brought out several editions of a companion volume, Burke's Landed Gentry, which was first published between 1833 and 1838. In 1866 and 1883 he published editions of his father's Dictionary of the Peerages of England,
Scotland
  and Ireland,
extinct
 , dormant and in abeyance (earlier editions, 1831,1840, 1846); in 18J5 and 1876 editions of his Royal Families of England,
Scotland
  and Wales (1st edition, 18471851); and in 1878 and 1883 enlarged editions of his Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, or General Armoury of England, Scotland and Ireland. Burke's own works include The Roll of Battle Abbey (1848); The Romance of the Aristocracy (1855); Vicissitudes of Families (1883 and several earlier editions); and The Rise of
Great
  Families (1882). He was succeeded as editor of Burke's Peerage and Landed Gentry by his fourth son, Ashworth Peter Burke.
