Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry While primarily the object of the work, as has been said, is to describe and explain terms used in Heraldry, and more especially in the blazon of Coats of Arms, the practical side of Heraldry has not been overlooked. Under such articles as Ear-emery, Am, Achievements, and the like, several of the rules of Heraldry are introduced. Also the various Titles of Nobility, &c.; Orders of Knights Heralds, &c., will all be found in the Glossary with such information given in a condensed form as it is thought will be oi use' to those students of Heraldry who pursue the subject otherwise than as an adjunct to Genealogical and Archaological enquiry. It has been attempted, as far as possible, for the sake of condensation, to bring similar terms together, and it is thought that the cross references at the foot of the page will afi'ord every facility for finding any word: for the sake, how ever, of assisting those who use the book to grasp the prin ciple of the arrangement, a very full Sxxom'lou. Tuna is given after this Introduction, in which the terms are arranged under several headings in systematic order; and such terms as are found in the Alphabetical Glossary being given in italic, those following the chief term will be found described beneath the same. Apart from the use which it has been to the compiler, and apart from that which it may be to those who use the book, it is thought that such a synoptical view will not be otherwise than interesting, as showing the vast range of subjects over which those who have had duly as signed to them (or unduly taken to themselves) coats of arms have extended their choice. Objection may perhaps be taken to the classification of the Ordinaries and Conventional Charges as not being one generally recognized. There is so much disagreement, however, amongst writers, that it has been thought better to adopt an independent system, guided rather by convenience than by any ao-called authority.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heraldry, English and Foreign: With a Dictionary of Heraldic Terms I, Heraldry, as its name implies, was in its origin a purely military art, and, according to Spener, Menestrier, and other writers, originated in its modern form from the tournaments instituted (or, at least, brought into perfect organization) by the Emperor Henry the Fowler (c. 950) for the purpose of keeping up the military spirit among the knightly families of that early day during intervals of peace, and promoting courage and dexterity by means of such martial exercises. More critical inquiries into the origin of these assemblies carry them back a century earlier, when a great gathering of knights and their retainers for military games was held at Worms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manual of Heraldry: A Concise Description of the Several Terms Used and Containing a Dictionary of Every Designation in the Science The great revival which has taken place in the study and appreciation of the Science of Heraldry, and the wider and more intelligent interest now taken in armory, has induced the publisher to issue a new and revised edition of this work. This opportunity has been taken to enlarge and improve the Dictionary of Heraldic Terms, and to cut out much of the repetition which was contained in the opening chapters of the previous editions. The space thus gained has been used to give a larger and, in the light of modern research, more correct view of the Origin of Arms, and to add chapters on the Law and Right to Arms and on the Heraldic Executive. The chapter formerly given on Precedence has been entirely superseded by inserting the tables now in use in England and in Scotland, and the whole book has been so revised and rewritten as to form practically a new work. Though in the past the science has suffered much from the absurd and pedantic origins assigned not only to it but to the armorial achievements of various families, its use as an aid to historical research has been long proved and recognised. How often has the date of the foundation of some ancient castle or abbey been discovered or a portrait identified from the armorial bearings thereon, and many an important point in genealogy elucidated, by the charges borne by the individual members of the family explaining their matrimonial alliances, their position as cadets, or even the origin of the house itself.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Heraldry written by Charles Norton Elvin and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extremely useful and comprehensive illustrated dictionary of heraldic terms, a necessity whether one's interest is that of an artist, engraver, heraldist, librarian, or genealogist. Elvin's book is as useful today as it was 110 years ago when the author wrote that the "aim of the present work is not to furnish an account of the antiquity and progress of Heraldry, but to provide as succinctly as possible, and in Alphabetical order, a list of the terms met with in the Science, with their appropriate Illustrations." The outstanding feature of this book is the set of 47 plates (done by Elvin) depicting over 2,500 illustations of the various heraldic charges, with blazonings, arranged by subject headings such as "Badges," "Bend," "Chevron," "Cross," and the like, thus providing a complete dictionary of terms, each term having an exact reference to a matching illustration. As a result, the identification of unrecognized charges is easy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heraldry Simplified: A Popular Treatise on the Subject of Heraldry, Together With a Glossary of Technical Terms, and Nearly Two Hundred Drawings The Science of heraldry or more properly that of armory, is one that has received but little attention in this country, although in Europe its study is considered to be as necessary to a polite education as is singing or music in America. Born with Feudalism, its original purpose was to identify persons and property, for which no other invention has been able to supersede it. It attained its full growth in Mediaeval times, the literature of which cannot be thoroughly enjoyed by those not conversant with at least its rudiments. To - day it is prized by all who are able to boast of honorable ancestry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
