A propos de cet article

Edition : Fourth edition., Recent gilt-lined ½ calf with marble boards, spine in six compartments of raised bands, gilt text on two, four and six, gilt armorial motif on three, edges speckled red, endpapers renewed. , ?This fourth edition is dedicated to the Marquess of Hertford by Richard Blome, whose maternal grandfather, Richard Adams, in his lifetime was in his Lordship?s service. The dedication is follwed by an address ?To none but Gentlemen,? by Francis Nower, who, for the advantage of the printer, was induced to add some hundreds of Coats to the former editions, but confesses there are three families whose Arms are inserted that he could wish omitted. ?The Display? is extended to 444 pages. The ?Register of the Knights of the Garter? is dedicated to the Earl of Northumberland, and the ?Catalogue of Baronets? to Sir Edmond Bacon, by Richard Blome. These lists occupy 36 pages. Of the Baronets, F. Nower observes, there are some Coats he thought better to omit at the latter end, than to have inserted upon uncertain grounds, the printed Catalogue being defective, and the Heralds at Oxford not keeping so punctual an account of them in the hurry of a civil war as formerly.?The utility of this book is much increased, by the addition of an alphabetical Table of Names at the end, which is much wanted in the former.?This edition had scarcely been issued when the Restoration brought Heraldry into more request, and rendered a selection of the examples, upon the rise of a new party, necessary, to obtain a sale.? (BH), Size : Tall 4to., With an intricately engraved title plate, fourteen decorative headpieces and eleven initials. Profusely illustrated with in-text engravings of various coats of arms of seventeenth-century British nobility., References : Bibliotheca Heraldica CXCV, P. (4), engr. title plate, blank, title, blank, dedication (2), ?to none but gentlemen? (2), ?L?envoy to the author? (5), blank, ?to the reader? (2), author?s note, table, 1-402, (4), 403-410, 412-432, 435-444, half-title, 2-36, index (6), (2). Occasional minor tears repaired expertly. Title page laid down on acid-free paper for long-term preservation. Otherwise a very good copy, text and plates are clean and crisp. A number of mispaginations, but the book is complete. …
