Both hyphenated and non-hyphenated variants of many words occur in this book. All have been retained.

The book contains many heraldic terms, derived from French, Arabic, etc.

Any illustration which interrupted a paragraph has been moved to a more convenient location, between paragraphs.

Some heraldic diagrams, which were unclear, have been repaired.

Some chapters contain many Footnotes, usually marked * and † on each page they occur. To avoid confusion, the Footnotes have been numbered sequentially within each chapter, and indented and placed below their relative paragraph.
