That there is a growing interest in, and revived taste displayed towards the study of Heraldry cannot be gainsaid, nor can it be disputed that this renaissance of sensibility in regard to a noble and fascinating theme is not only a welcome and healthy sign, but also a moral and intellectual one, since the art-science in question symbolises the most exalted ideals to which man can attain, and, moreover, puts forward countless brilliant instances as his exemplars. Further - and sufficient attention has never so far been paid to this fundamental point - it is absolutely impossible for anyone to understand and appreciate properly all the beauties of Poetry, Art, Architecture, or Literature, without some knowledge of Heraldry
To the furtherance of this reviving interest, perception and literary necessity there is, however, a serious obstacle, namely, the cost and rarity of books which deal with the subject, and therefore I consider the issue of this little work fully justified.
