	Committee of Privileges of the Maltese Nobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Committee of Privileges of the Maltese Nobility is an association for deciding succession, new titles, and general issues concerning the recognised titles of nobility of Malta.
		A British Colonial Royal Commission decided which of these titles were to be accepted, and on its conclusion, 32 titles of Count, Marquis, and Baron were acknowledged by the British Government for usage in Malta and the British Empire.
		When Malta became a republic in 1974, the Committee went into abeyance; but it was revived nearly a decade afterwards.

		No noble motive is discoverable in Voss's celebrated "Louisa" and Goethe's "Hermann and Dorothea." This style of poetry was so easy that hundreds of weak-headed men and women made it their occupation, and family scenes and plays speedily surpassed the romances of chivalry in number.
		The taxes no longer sufficed; the exchequer was robbed by privileged thieves; an enormous debt continued to increase; and the king, almost reduced to the necessity of declaring the state bankrupt, demanded aid from the nobility and clergy, who, hitherto free from taxation, had amassed the whole wealth of the empire.
