Ladies' Arms borne in a Lozenge (Vol. viii., pp. 37. 83. 277. 329.).—The difference between the fusil and the lozenge is well known to all heralds, though coach-painters and silversmiths do not
always sufficiently describe it. If Broctuna, however, be a practical herald, he must often have experienced the difficulty of placing impalements or quarterings correctly, even on a lozenge. On the long and narrow fusil it would be impossible. When the fusil, instead of being a mere heraldic bearing, has to be used as the shape of a shield for the actual use of the painter or engraver, it must of necessity be widened into the lozenge; and as the latter is probably only the same distaff with little more wool upon it, there seems no objection to the arrangement. Broctuna is too good an antiquary not to know on recollection that the "vyings of widows" had little to do with funeral arrangements in those days. Procrustes, the herald, came down at all great funerals, and regulated everything with just so much pomp, and no more, as the precise rank of the deceased entitled him to.
P. P. had not the smallest intention of giving Broctuna offence by pointing out what seems a fatal objection to his theory.
Hugh Clark, a well-known modern writer upon Heraldry, gives the following definition of the word lozenge:
"Lozenge, a four-cornered figure, resembling a pane of glass in old casements: some suppose it a physical composition given for colds, and was invented to reward eminent physicians."
