Historical and Miscellaneous Questions

Richmal Mangnall

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have endeavored, in the few pages on the subject of Her aldry, to give as concise an account of it as possible to convey a clear idea of the terms made use of, the orders of knighthood, titles, etc., which are constantly met with in reading history, and which it is difficult to explain to the pupil totally unacquainted with the subject. I have confined myself to that portion rela ting to England, as our ideas on the subject are entirely taken from that mother country. The plates will give a correct idea of the appearance Of the escutcheons, etc. I trust this Short explanation will not be thought out of place in our republican country.
