Excerpt from Practical Heraldry or an Epitome of English Armory: Showing How and by Whom Arms May Be Borne or Acquired, How Pedigrees May Be Traced or Family Histories Ascertained I have long realized the fact that everyone has a Pedigree, and that, whether gentle or simple, all who live beyond the present hour must have an interest, latent possibly in many instances, in those who have gone before them. Therefore I have written this book. I have always found that the great drawback to the majority of Heraldic and Genealogical compilations is their extreme dryness, an enormous mass of uninteresting detail must of necessity be waded through in order to arrive at one single item interesting or applicable to individual cases, whereas it has been my aim to produce something to interest as well as to instruct those who wish to ascertain particulars about their ancestors.
