BURKE’S GENERAL ARMORY
The Armorie of England, Scotland and Ireland
(ref: 001)
---------------------------------------
First
published
in
1842
and
even
after
a
hundred
and
a
hundred
and
sixty
years
this
book
is
still
probably
the
best
there
is
for
students
of
Heraldry.
The
book
begins
with
a
short
introduction
into
the
subject
and
a
glossary
of
the
terms
used.
This
is
followed
by
the
descriptions
of
many
thousands
of
Arms relating to any families.
To make the publication easier to use it has been divided by
letter. At the end of each alphabetical section there is a return
link to the welcome page and then to different section if you so
wish

GENEALOGICAL AND HERALDIC HISTORY
OF THE COLONIAL GENTRY
VOLUMES 1 AND 2
by Sir Bernard Burke
(Ref: 016)
The
preface
of
this
book
states
the
following;
The
Colonies
form
such
an
important
portion
of
our
Empire
that
a
history
of
the
leading
families,
and
their
connection
with
the
mother
country,
cannot
fail
to
be
of
interest.
The
preparation
of
this
work
has
already
been
the
means
of
bringing
together
kinsfolk
from
both
sides
of
the
globe,
and
I
trust
that
the
result
of
my
labours
may
still
further
tend
to
promote
that
family
love
and
unity
which
has
always
been
the
characteristic
trait
of
our
race.
These
volumes
contain
details of hundreds families throughout the world.

FAIRBAIRN’S BOOK OF CRESTS
VOLUMES 1 AND 2
(Ref 074)
FAIRBAIRN'S
BOOK
OF
CRESTS
was
first
published
in
1859,
and
since
that
date
had
passed
through
some
number
of
Editions
prior
to
the
year
1892,
when
the
work
was
very
thoroughly
overhauled
and
revised.
The
book
had
long
ago
established
itself
as
a
recognised
work
of
reference,
and
as
an
indispensable
adjunct
to
every
library
;
and
being
suitable
to
the
needs
and
purposes
of
jewellers
and
engravers,
it
had
also
from
its
first
publication
been
adopted
and
accepted
as
the
standard
work
of
reference
for
business
and
trade
purposes.
By
far
the
larger
proportion
of
armorial
orders
placed
in
the
hands
of
tradesmen
for
execution
are
carried
out
with
the
assistance of " Fairbairn."
