These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Complete Guide to Heraldry: Look inside the book: But doubtless the inclusion of such instances is due to an attempt, conscious or unconscious, on the part of the writers who have taken their stand on the side of great antiquity to so frame the definition of armory that it shall include everything heraldic, and due perhaps somewhat to the half unconscious {3}reasoning that these mythical animals, and more especially the peculiarly heraldic positions they are depicted in, which nowadays we only know as part of armory, and which exist nowhere else within our knowledge save within the charmed circle of heraldry, must be evidence of the great antiquity of that science or art, call it which you will. ...'The old Asiatic style, so highly figurative, seems, by what we find of {11}its remains in the prophetic language of the sacred writers, to have been evidently fashioned to the mode of the ancient hieroglyphics; for as in hieroglyphic writing the sun, moon, and stars were used to represent states and empires, kings, queens, and nobility—their eclipse and extinction, temporary disasters, or entire overthrow—fire and flood, desolation by war and famine; plants or animals, the qualities of particular persons, &c.; so, in like manner, the Holy Prophets call kings and empires by the names of the heavenly luminaries; their misfortunes and overthrow are represented by eclipses and extinction; stars falling from the firmament are employed to denote the destruction of the nobility; thunder and tempestuous winds, hostile invasions; lions, bears, leopards, goats, or high trees, leaders of armies, conquerors, and founders of empires; royal dignity is described by purple, or a crown; iniquity by spotted garments; a warrior by a sword or bow; a powerful man, by a gigantic stature; a judge by balance, weights, and measures—in a word, the prophetic style seems to be a speaking hieroglyphic.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Study of Heraldry Within the last twenty years there have been published some of the very best works that have ever appeared, connected with the subject of Heraldry, and its kindred science genealogy. Rolls of arms of undoubted authenticity, accompanied by notes devoid of those flights of imagination with which the old annotators were wont to lard their works upon these subjects; treatises upon particular branches of the science, and many excellent works on the peerage and different ranks, and some genealogies of the best kind have appeared. From this we might be led to believe that a revival of the ancient taste in these matters had taken place, yet I am inclined to think that this supply, so good too of its kind, falls far short of that upon most other subjects, which the increased demand for information has created. Yet it were a pity that a science so cherished by our forefathers, and so useful to the historian, the architect, and the lawyer, should be so neglected, and I might even say despised, in this utilitarian age.

Book excerpt: This antiquarian book contains a detailed treatise on English heraldry, with information on its history, development, and popularity.
