Excerpt from A List of Coat Armour Used in Norfolk Before the Date of the First Herald's Visitation of 1563I am well aware that I shall be blamed for having in the follow ing index omitted the colours and several of the minor charges.My reason for doing so is to make references easier for those looking up coats.In the following arrangement anyone can see for himself the main features of the shield he wishes to trace, and if he finds itis borne by three or four families it is easy enough to turn to the three or four names and judge for himself which is the most probable one.The arrangement in columns and the double indexes of the charges should, I think, make the identification reasonably easy. To the expert in Papworth of course nothing can supersede his work, but to the novice his arrangement is very confusing, and moreover the book itself is scarce and dear, and hard to be studied by the novice in the limited time he can give in a public library.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
