Excerpt from Heraldry in Relation to Scottish History and Art: Being the Rhind Lectures on Archaeology for 1898 The following Lectures were delivered in November 1898, and the interest then taken in them leads me to think that they will not be unacceptable in their present form to a larger circle of persons than could attend when they were originally given. Although in the first Lecture I have touched upon the technical terms used in the blazoning of arms, the volume is by no means intended to instruct its readers in the details of the science; there are only too many books written on the subject, to any of which reference can be made. What I have wished to point out, in as simple and direct a manner as possible, is, first, the interesting manner in which Heraldry is interwoven with, and illustrative of, Scottish history; and second, how it has entered into the artistic development of the country in a way which, perhaps, has not hitherto been fully recognised. I have also endeavoured to indicate how, when many of the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... The two shields, therefore, were placed accolee, or side by side. In the letterpress description they were said to be Norman shields. They were in reality of the ordinary heater-shape and not of the kite-shaped type more usually associated with the Normans. They were also said to be surmounted by a helmet of an antique pattern. It was one of the latest and ugliest of the heraldic stationer's type. On the top of this helmet was placed a straight wreath with a quadruped on it, which seemed to be nervously endeavouring to keep its perpendicular on the sea-saw formed by the wreath and the helmet. The design is stated to be surrounded by a scroll ornamentation and a lambrequin; but of the latter's elegant form there is no trace. To crown all, it is, of course, duly described as executed "in the most artistic manner by Messrs Bunkum & Sparkle, jewellers, London." This is by no means an extreme case, but it is merely stupid. No doubt the jewellers did their best, and pleased their customer. The fault was that the craftsman who executed the work had had no sufficient instruction in the capabilities of heraldic art. But sometimes ignorance assumes less excusable forms. Not long ago I discovered the indubitable fact that a very high-class and eminently respectable firm in this very town had supplied a too confiding American citizen with a complete achievement, consisting of the quartered coat, helmet, crest, and supporters of a Scottish peer of the same name, or rather of a name very similar. This was not only foolish, but wrong, though the American customer expressed himself much pleased and gratified with the result. I trust I have led you to understand how useful the study of Heraldry may be both to the student of history and to the artist and...

This antiquarian book contains a detailed treatise on English heraldry, with information on its history, development, and popularity. Heraldry is the profession, study, or art of creating, granting, and blazoning arms and ruling on questions of rank or protocol, as exercised by an officer of the army; and also comprises the practice of designing, displaying, describing, and recording coats of arms and heraldic badges. Illustrated by nine plates and nearly three hundred designs, this volume is a comprehensive treatment of the subject that will greatly appeal to those with an interest in heraldry. The chapters of this volume include: 'The Origin of Armory', 'The Status and the Meaning of a Coat of Arms in Great Britain', 'The Heralds and Officers of Arms', 'Heraldic Brasses', 'The Component Parts of an Achievement', 'The Shield', 'The Field of a Shield and the Heraldic Tinctures', 'The Rules of Blazon', et cetera. We are republishing this vintage text now complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.

"Heraldry in Scotland: including a recension of 'The law and practice of heraldry in Scotland' by the late George Seton. ,"" by Stevenson, J. H. (John Horne), 1855-1939, Seton, George, 1822-1908. First published in 1914, Stevenson's Heraldry in Scotland is said to be the most authoritative and most readable modern treatise on the legal and administrative aspects of Scots heraldry. The original two volumes were printed in a limited edition and are now hard to find and expensive to acquire. This faithfully reproduced facsimile brings together both volumes under one cover and at a more reasonable price. The format of the facsimile faithfully reproduces that of the originals produced over a century ago by J. H.

Stevenson's Heraldry in Scotland (1914) is the most authoritative and most readable modern treatise on the legal and administrative aspects of Scots heraldry and a must for the serious student of the subject. Unfortunately, it is hard to find except at great expense in antiquarian bookshops and on specialist websites. This new edition brings a classic of the field to a new audience at a reasonable price. The two volumes have been amalgamated into one, and slight rearrangements made, but the contents follow almost exactly the Maclehose Glasgow edition.
