The elements of heraldry : containing the definition, origin, and historical account of that ancient, useful, and entertaining science. The divers sorts of coats-of-arms in use ; with their essential and integral parts displayed separately. The several marks whereby bearers of the same coat-of-arms are distinguished from each other. The different kinds of tinctures, lines, figures, charges, and ornaments, used for coats-of-arms. The laws of heraldry ; practical directions for marshalling coats-of-arms, and the order of precedence. The hatchments so clearly described, that the branch and title, the deceased was of, may be readily known. Embellished with several fine cuts, and twenty-four copper-plates, containing above five hundred different examples of escutcheons, arms, &c. and interspersed with the natural history, and allegorical signification of the several species of birds, beasts, fishes, vegetables, &c. comprised in this treatise.
