The Art of Heraldry: An Encyclopaedia of Armory / By Arthur Charles Fox-Davies

by Arthur Charles Fox Davies

Excerpt from The Art of An Encyclopedia of Armory Another fruitful sou1ce of error is the effort which has frequently been made to assimilate the laws of Armory prevailing in the three different Kingdoms into one single series of rules and regula tions Some writers have even gone so far as to attempt to assimilate with our own the rules and regulations which hold upon the Continent. As a matter of fact, many of the laws of Arms in England and Scotland are radically different and care needs to be taken to point out these differences.

This is, without a doubt, the single most important book for any aspiring pursuivant at arms... it's the best codification of what HAS been done, and what should be done.
