This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plain explanation of heraldry is accompanied by many pleasing coloured plates, and seems to be specially adapted to students of Scottish heraldry in the same way that Boutell, Holme, Cussans, and Mr. G. W. Eve's works apply to the explanation of English armory particularly. It is, however, impossible to compare it to the latter beautiful work, or to "the Symbolisms of Heraldry" by our contributor, Mr. W. Cecil Wade, since the book under review attempts to deal with what is essentially poetic and romantic as a plain matter-of-fact subject, which it never was and never will be. His fellow-countryman, Sir Walter Scott, would have reminded the author that heraldry belongs to the day of the troubadour, the tournament, and the mediaeval pageant, when symbols had the utmost value and power over the minds of men. There is a tolerably large school of antiquaries which declines to see anything in the bearings of heraldry beyond mere lines or figures of objects arbitrarily adopted by their bearers, and which this matter-of-fact school states have no meaning at all as symbols, while it even denies the colour symbolism of the armorial coats and liveries of ancient days! In this school cannot be included many members of our Society. Let all the non-symbolists freely array themselves in amber, pink, or pale green or blue, which are non-symbolic colours besides being non-heraldic, but let all lovers of antiquity follow Sir Walter Scott's ideas of the devicefulness of ancient armory. What a splendid treatise on the whole subject he could have given us had he chosen to do so! --Journal of the Ex Libris Society, Volume 14

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heraldry of the Stewarts: With Notes on All the Males of the Family, Descriptions of the Arms, Plates and Pedigrees As regards the Armorial Bearings, the principal charge is the fess chequy or bend chequy - that is, a belt across the shield composed of rows, usually three, of squares, alternately blue and silver in the case of the Stewarts, and black and silver in that of the Menteths. This charge is supposed to be derived from the chess, or chequered, board used by the Stewards in calculating their accounts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heraldry in Scotland, Vol. 1: Including a Recension of 'the Law and Practice of Heraldry in Scotland' by the Late George Seton, Advocate That work, the issue of which, from various circumstances relative at one time to Mr. Seton, at another time to the writer, has been long delayed, was sufficiently advanced in Mr. Seton's lifetime to allow him to see and approve of its first and second Chapters. With regard to these it is there fore unnecessary In a Preface like the present to say more. But with regard to the subsequent chapters it is proper, out of respect to Mr. Seton's memory, as well as for the sake of any authority with which the statements which they contain may claim to have been made, to state, that on most if not all of the few points on which the present and former volumes appear to contradict each other, the writer had the advantage of conversing with Mr. Seton and of finding that, on consideration, they were of the same opinion. No relevant matter written In 1863 (unless it has become obsolete) has been omitted, though some had to be curtailed to make room for more important additions, or because of the exigencies of space. The scope of the original work will be found, therefore, to be in no respect diminished. On the contrary, it is in some parts enlarged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Heraldic Book-Stamps: Figured and Described The large majority of the stamps illustrated herewith are' in the British Museum, but I have included a few in private ownership, and to these owners my sincere thanks are due for their kindness in allowing me to copy the various coats. I have in every case mentioned this private ownership, and where such mention is not found the book from which the drawing has been made is in the British Museum, either in the Department of Printed Books or in the Department of Manuscripts. Heraldry is of military origin, but its decorative side, and the various exact rules which govern it, were probably brought into use during the Middle Ages, in connection with the frequent Tournaments which were governed by strict rules. The ceremonies to be followed at the Tournaments were very closely laid down heralds as well as their assistants of all sorts came into much prominence, and personal insignia acquired an importance they have never had since. Even now there are a few signs of ancient personal heraldry existing in our army; crests and tartans of private families may be found among the Highland regiments, but the modern tendency, especially since the late war in South Africa, has been to abolish such peculiarities.
