“All the devices blazoned on the shield

It is the aim of this Manual to inquire into the true character and right office of Heraldry, and to describe and illustrate both its action in past times in England, and its present condition as it is in use amongst ourselves.
In the great and general Art Revival of our own times, Heraldry now appears to be in the act of vindicating its title to honourable recognition as an Art-Science, that may be agreeably as well as advantageously studied, and very happily adapted in its practical application to the existing condition of things.
