Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for the Antiquity of Heraldry: With an Attempt to Expound Its Theory Hereditary family arms prevalent in all ages and countries - The colours and devices painted on the bodies and shields of savages, distinctions of tribes and clans, originally the personal adoption of Chieftains, transmitted from father to son, and to succeeding tribes, the origin, for the most part, of all subsequent national and family arms - The parti-coloured shields of the ancient Germans, mentioned by Tacitus, of this character, and all such, and similar modern armorial bearings, an unbroken inheritance from the Teutonic chiefs - Modern European blazonry, being these alone, or in com position with other devices of subsequent adoption, or of ancient inheritance from the nations of antiquity, the whole varied infinitely by colour, form, number, and modes of display - National arms, in general, originally personal - Testimonies to the existence of family heraldry among the ancients, with instances its hereditary character - Many Welch coats of arms probably of roman-british origin - The scanty notices to be met in the remains of ancient and mediaeval literature, as numerous relatively as those to be found in the literature of the present day - Prevalent erroneous notions of modern heraldry refuted - Arms borne at the Conquest proved by a reductio ad absurdum - as a rule hereditary - changed only on marrying a heiress, or a wife of superior rank Differences not arbitrarily assumed, but taken from the maternal or uxorial coat - The family and national ensigns of subjugated nations, except in few cases, discontinued or pro hibited, and now unknown. - The horse prevalent in anglo-saxon blazonry, in anglo-norman arms very rare, an indirect proof of the existence of the former - Canting arms generally taken by 92005 fiamines - Family rela tionship alone, and not the feudal connexion (which was a coincidence not the cause) the source of new coats of arms.
