The Dictionary of Heraldry
註釋This very handsome volume was published in 1902 but it lacked that quintessence of the art of heraldry--colour. Now, after nearly eighty years, this omission has been put right in the present edition, in which the old feudal coats, culled from some of the ancient rolls of arms, have been rendered in their true glory. At last the heraldic tyro, unable to interpret the colours of a coat of arms from its blazon (the description given in heraldic terms) will be able to see it as it should be seen. The book has acquired a new, appealing and important dimension. -- Introduction.
