Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Introduction to Heraldry A knowledge of Heraldry has been at all times reckoned among the accomplishments of a gentleman, and considered to form at least a graceful, if not a useful adjunct, in every system of liberal education. In the present day, however, when everything which is calculated to throw light upon the customs and habits of thought of our ancestors during the period of the middle ages is sought for with avidity, it has especial claims upon our notice. If History be indebted for its true exposition to the labours of the antiquary, so is the antiquary indebted to the herald for many of the facts which illustrate his narrative; in marshalling before our view the stirring events of feudal times, the picture which represents the knight would be incomplete without that of the attendant herald, whose duty it was to blazon his arms and give proof of his descent. Nor was the presence of the latter less necessary in the palace of the sovereign, to arrange the pageantry of princes; or in the battle field of the warrior, to apply the knowledge of his art in the melancholy task of reckoning the number of the noble dead, and by his sad inventory of their rank, to measure the amount and import of the victory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Heraldry: A Practical Introduction Thereto Many persons are to be found who sneer at heraldry. It is treated by them as mouldy and unmeaning; a remnant of the feudal system; inconsistent with progress, and mentioned in other contemptuous terms. Without being in any degree desirous of placing it in the foremost of sciences, or of treating it with that extreme amount of veneration and enthusiasm which its literary votaries in various times have displayed - yet, as one of the links of the past with the present, we are bound to respect it, even as we respect the literary works of antiquity and the achievements of the sculptors and painters of past ages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primer of Heraldry for Americans IT is usual to commence American books on heraldic and genealogic matters with a half apology for introducing such subjects to the notice of the citizens of a republic.

Such topics deserve their due Share of attention (though it may not bo a large share) in a country which con tains millions of descendants of good fami lies of England and the Continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heraldry, English and Foreign: With a Dictionary of Heraldic Terms I, Heraldry, as its name implies, was in its origin a purely military art, and, according to Spener, Menestrier, and other writers, originated in its modern form from the tournaments instituted (or, at least, brought into perfect organization) by the Emperor Henry the Fowler (c. 950) for the purpose of keeping up the military spirit among the knightly families of that early day during intervals of peace, and promoting courage and dexterity by means of such martial exercises. More critical inquiries into the origin of these assemblies carry them back a century earlier, when a great gathering of knights and their retainers for military games was held at Worms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Heraldry This little Volume, specially prepared for the use of students at an early period of their study of English Heraldry, commends itself also to those inquirers who may desire to obtain some general information on the same subject, without having any intention to devote to Heraldry much either of their time or of their serious regard. The success, no less extraordinary than gratifying, of my larger work on Heraldry, led me to hope that a not less favourable reception might be extended to a simpler and much shorter essay, more decidedly elementary in its aim and character, and yet as far as possible within its limits complete.

Similarly I would hope (not as an ingenious speculation) that those who have enjoyed the study of Heraldry may, each in turn, contribute in some measure to extend the knowledge of this delightful science and help to remove the ignorance and confusion which exists, until every person knows, and ceases to violate, its simple rules.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robbia Heraldry In attempting to define the authorship and date of the very numerous products of the Delia Robbia school I have been embarrassed by the lack of documentary and historical evidence and consequently have usually been compelled to rely on the evidence of style alone. I count it most fortunate for these studies that my friend Air. Rufus G.Mather, residing in Florence, was prepared to devote his energies to the discovery of documents, which in many cases have proved to be invaluable. These he is publishing in Italian periodicals while I am utilizing them in these Princeton monographs. A much neglected series of Robbia monuments are the coats of arms, which are found on altarpieces and other monuments, or set up as memorials of office on the Communal Palaces of many Italian towns. These coats of arms not only throw light upon the activities, religious and political, of many aristocratic families of Tuscany, but with them are associated dated inscriptions, which assist us in fixing the period of undated monuments. Robbia Heraldry, as a special department of a broader Italian Heraldry, is specifically Tuscan, and limited to the productions of a school of artists who worked almost entirel in glazed terra-cotta. Some of the tinctures of Robbia coats of arms may be considered as conventional substitutes. Thus white is the colour used for argent, and yellow for or Gules was difficult to obtain in baked glazes and assumed various tints of violet or manganese. A dark violet served also for sable. But while the tinctures applied by superficial paint to coats of arms executed in stone or marble have faded away, those of the Delia Robbias remain unchanged and render bright and interesting the dull facades of the City Halls in Italian towns. This monograph was not written as a contribution to heraldry, but inasmuch as it represents coats of arms not recorded in such a corpus as Crollalanza's Dizionario sforico-blasonico delle famiglie Italiane and in many instances records variations therefrom, it should have some importance for the student of heraldry. It was intended as an aid to the history of Italian art. Hence I have interested myself more in the forms of the shields, in the types of the garlands, in the stylistic qualities of the inscriptions, than in the variations from type in the heraldic emblems or their tinctures.
