This little volume was first published in the series of Cambridge
Manuals of Science and Literature in 1913. This 1953 reissue was
lightly revised and put in a new format by Anthony Wagner, Richmond
Herald. One new block and a glossary of terms were added, and the
last chapter of suggested further reading was rewritten. The
scantness of the revision required is testament to its quality as
an introduction to a subject others had made obscure. It begins
with the definition and origin of heraldry, then explains the terms
and devices - the grammar of heraldry - and shows how individuals
and families marshalled and differenced their arms. There are two
chapters on lozenges, roundels and banners of arms, and crests,
badges, punning arms and supporters. There follows a chronological
account of the growth and decay of heraldry in England. In a
concluding chapter the whole question of nomenclature is treated
with good sense.
