HE .aini of the- present work is not to furnish an account of the antiquity and progress of Heraldry, but to provide as succinctly as possibly., and in Alphabetical order, a list of the terms met with in the Science, with their appropriate Illustrations. Such a work it is hoped will be of great advantage to the Herald Painter and Engraver, as by means of it they will be enabled to refer, without trouble, to the subject they may desire to depict. I propose, therefore, in the first place, to give the terms in a plain and concise form, so that any coat which is in strict conformity with the established rules of Heraldry, may easily be painted or engraved from the verbal Blazoning. Secondly, I hope by the introduction of a great number of terms and Engravings, not to be found in any other Heraldic Glossary, to supply as complete a list as possible of those used in Coat Armour, and thus adapt the work not alone for the Practical Artist, but also for the Amateur, who desires to be able readily to blazon such coats as may fall under his observation.

A term generally applied to the knowledge and de- scription of armorial bearings ac- cording to the rules of Heraldry. In blazoning a Coat of Arms, i.e. describing- BLA 20 BOA it, the Field is always first mentioned noticing the lines wherewith it is divided, and the differences of these lines, whether they be straight or crooked. Then proceed to the charge nearest the centre, and name those charges last which are furthest from the field, i.e. the charges upon the Ordinaries. The principal Ordinary in the coat (with the exception of the Chief) must be named next to the field, e.g. P. 2, f. 45. If the Ordinary itself is charged, such charge to be blazoned next to those between which the Ordinary is placed, e.g. P. 2, f. 3, and P. 22, f. 33. If there is no Ordinary in the arms the central charge is to be first named after the field, then the charge, if any, on the central charge, then the Border; next the Chief or Canton with its charges, e.g. P. 13, f. 43., & P. 22, f . 33. When a bearing is described without naming the point of the Escutcheon where it is to be placed, the centre is always imderstood; the same is also observed in respect to the charges upon Ordinaries, or one charge upon another. P. 20, f . 42. When there are three charges with or without Ordinary they are borne two in chief and one in base, P. 22, f. 43 ; but if they are not so placed, or, exceed three, their position must be named, see P. 4, f. 31., P. 22, f. 15 and 13. In Blazoning a coat, repetition of the same word must be avoided, as for example, it would be incorrect to describe the following coat thus ; Sa. on a fesse ar. betw. three lions; heads erased ar. three mullets sa. It should be sa. on a fesse betw. three lions' heads erased ar. "as many" mullets " of the fa-st," or " of the field." Of the first, or of the field, is used to prevent repetition of sa. The following rule is now observed by the Heralds, never to place colour on colour, or metal upon metal ; and although a few instances of departure from this rule might be produced in some very ancient coats, ( Carson, Bissett, Lloyd, White, etc.) yet these exceptions do not destroy the rule. In Blazoning roundles, or guttee drops, you are not to say a roundle or guttee of such a tincture (unless it be party coloured or counterchanged) for their names vary accord- ing to the different tinctures of which they are composed ; so that a roundle which is of Gold, is not blazoned a roundle or., but a Bezant, and a guttee drop red, is not to be blazoned a gutte gu., but guttee de sang. When roundles and guttee are borne upon a party coloured field and are of the alternate tinctures, they are blazoned roundles or guttee counterchanged, eg. Quarterly ar. and sa. six roundles 3, 2, and 1, counter- changed. P. 2, f . 39. A high bonnet, or cap, per pale sa. and ar., banded gu., the cap guttee counterchanged. P. 40, f. 50. In Blazoning animals, a distinction must be particularly observed as to the kind of animal to which the term is to be applied, e.g. The terms Rampant, Saliant, Passant, Couchant, are properly applied to Lions, Tiger3, etc. But for Deer the same attitudes are ex- pressed, the first two by the term Springing, the other two by the terms Tripping, and Lodged ; and a Lion standing full-faced is termed Guardant, but a Stag would be termed at Gaze. P. 26 and P. 28. Respect- ing the blazoning of Men, Animals, Birds, Fish, Trees, etc. see each under its re- spective term.

After the coronation of Charles II., the Order was neglected until the year 1725, when George I. revived and remodelled it. However, several alterations have since been made, and on the second day of January, 1815, it was enlarged and divided into three classes, in commemoration of " the auspicious termination of the long and arduous contest ; n which this empire has been engaged." On the 14th April, 1847, it wa3 further in- creased by the addition of Civil Divisions of the second and third classe3, when new Statutes were made for the Government of the Order, which have since been revised and the Order now consists of the following members, viz. : — 1st Class — Knightfs Grand Cross — for the military service, fifty, exclusive of the Sovereign and princes of the blood royal, and such distinguished foreigners as may be nominated Honorary Knights Grand Cross, and twenty.five for the Civil Service.

Is the right disposing of more than one Coat of Arms in one Escutcheon, either by impaling or quartering, and of distinguishing their parts, and contingent ornaments, in their proper places, thereby shewing alliances, descents, etc. See Pedigree. In Marshalling quarterings, the shield of the earliestHeiress.wbom the hearers ancestor has married, is placed first after the paternal coat ; then succeed any quarterings her descent may bring in ; the same is to be observed in respect to the second Heiress, and so on in chronological order. When a daughter becomes Heiress to her mother, also an Heiress, and not to her Father, which happens when the Father has a Son by another Wife, she bears her Mother's Arms with the shield of her Father on a Canton, taking all the quarterings to which her Mother was by descent entitled. When married, she conveys the whole to be borne on an Escutcheon of Pretence by her Husband, and transmit them at her death to tie borne as quarterings by her descendants. A Grand Quartering is generally designed to denote the representation of a family different from that from which the possessor is descended in the linear male line ; it usually accompanies the assumption of a second name, and unites the two associated coats so inseparably, that if they come to be Marshalled with other quarterings they are no longer (as in other cases) spread out among them, but they still remain together as a Grand Quartering. There is no general rule which coat shall take the first place. The paternal coat frequently retains it, but in many eases the assumed arms are borne as the first quarter. No person can claim a Coat of Arms of in heritance who is not lineally descende< from the person to whom the arms wer< first granted, and no one can claim any righ by inheritance until the death of his ancestor but with some modification derived from th' usage of arms. e.g. The Heir apparent i entitled, according to the custom of arms to use his ancestor's coat with a label three points. P. 46. It will be as well to observe that no Husban< can impale his Wife's arms with his own, oi a Surcoat, Ensign, or Banner ; nor can : Knight of any Order, when surrounding th shield with the motto of his Knighthood bear his Wife's coat therein.

But we now only treat of the time when became customary to bury in churches, a when certain distinctive marks were devis to denote the estate and condition of the who lay in the several places of repose. Kings and Princes were represented lying their tombs (which were made in the sha of altars), in their armour, with their 1 cutcheons, crowns, and all other marks royalty about them. Knights and Gentlemen could not be represented unless they died on the field within their own lordships. Those who died victorious in battle wi depicted with sword naked, point upwar 011 the dexter side ; their shield on 1 sinister j their helmets on their heads. Those of the vanquished side who were sin MON 9i MOU were represented without their snreoat, their sword in its scabbard; vizor raised, hands joined, as in prayer, on their breast; their feet on a dead lion. N.B. Those who died on their lordships were represented in a similar way, only that they had on their sureoat of arms. The son of a General, or Governor of a fortress, dying, while the place was besieged, was depicted in armour, with his head rest- ing on a helmet instead of a pillow. If a Knight or Gentleman entered any re- ligious order when old, he was represented armed, but with the habit of his order instead of a sureoat. A Kuight, or Gentleman, slain in single combat, was represented in armour, his axe out of his hand, his left arm crossed over his right. The Victor was similarly repre- sented, bat with his axe in his hand, and his right arm over his left. Those who had gone to the Holy Land were depicted with the ri"ht leg crossed over the left, and their sword drawn by their side ; those who had vowed to go, but who died without accom- plishing their vow, were depicted with, their left leg over the right, and with their sword in its scabbard. Those who died prisoners are said to have been represented without spurs, helmet, or sword, though there is little warrant for this. By degrees these rules fell into disuse, and persons placed figures in any position they pleased upon monuments to suit their own fancy, See Crest. Moon.
