Display of Herauldry of the particular Coat Armours now in Use in the Six Counties of North Wales, and several others Elsewhere; with the Names of the Families, whereby any Man knowing from what Family he is descended may know his particular Arms. By JOHN REYNOLDS, of Oswestry, Antiquarian; with nearly one hundred Coat Armours blazoned in the old style. Chester, printed 1739.
From a Unique Copy, of priceless value to the lover of Heraldry and Genealogy. The work on Welsh Family History issued privately by this author in the same year is comparatively common, yet copies of this have realised twenty guineas. A few copies have been taken off in marvellous facsimile, on old Welsh paper. They have cost more than the price asked. The owner challenges any facsimile-expert or artist in this country or elsewhere to produce anything more like unto a veritable old book than this. Photozincography is a shallow pretence when compared with it.
