This little volume was first published in the series of Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature in 1913. One new block and a glossary of terms were added, and the last chapter of suggested further reading was rewritten. This 1953 reissue was lightly revised and put in a new format by Anthony Wagner, Richmond Herald.
It begins with the definition and origin of heraldry, then explains the terms and devices - the grammar of heraldry - and shows how individuals and families marshalled and differenced their arms. The scantness of the revision required is testament to its quality as an introduction to a subject others had made obscure. There are two chapters on lozenges, roundels and banners of arms, and crests, badges, punning arms and supporters.
There follows a chronological account of the growth and decay of heraldry in England. In a concluding chapter the whole question of nomenclature is treated with good sense.
