An Introduction to Heraldry
With Nearly One Thousand Illustrations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Introduction to Heraldry: With Nearly One Thousand Illustrations

Clark's "Introduction to Heraldry" has now been in existence for upwards of eighty years, and gone through seventeen editions. In presenting the eighteenth to the public, it is only necessary to say, that in order to secure a continuance of such popularity, the book has undergone complete revision; and by the omission of some exploded theories, and the correction of a few erroneous opinions, been rendered, it is hoped a still more trustworthy hand-book to an art as useful as it is ornamental - to a science, the real value of which is daily becoming more apparent in this age of progress and critical inquiry.
