It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee.

  • ASH 3.F-Galles-Republic
    Heralds for the Republic: A Proposal for the Establishment of Heraldic Authorities in the United States of America1 DUANE L. C. M. GALLES∗ J.D. (Wm. Mitch.), J.C.L., J.C.D. (St Paul), Ph.D. (Ottawa), A.A.I.H., F.S.A. Scot. Attorney-at-Law, State of Minnesota And I took root in an honourable people. Sirach 24:12 The year 2009 marked the beginning of the third decade of existence of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.2 There is an old German proverb that Alle Anfangen sind schwer — all beginnings are difficult — and doubtless it was so with the Canadian Heraldic Authority, although to the external observer things seemed to have moved smoothly from the very start. This no doubt was in part due to its well thought-out form and location in the Honours Chancellery of the Governor General’s office, to the encouragement and help it received from the several Governors General and members of the government of the day, to the quality of the staff who from the start formed the Authority, and to the consistent support from the Canadian Heraldry Society and many sections of the Canadian public.3 At the same time, the success of this North American heraldic authority raises the question of whether a similar heraldic authority might not be created in her North American neighbour immediately to the south. In what follows, Section 1 briefly describes the heraldic past of the United States. The first subsection of that section is a rapid history of armigery in the lands now included in that country, and its second subsection recalls the use of heralds or pro-heralds in the same lands.

  • T He H Eraldand G Enealogist
    A BIBILOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF THE THREE EDITIONS OF WATSON’S MEMOIRS OF THE ANCIENT EARLS OF WARREN AND SURREY. _______________ BY JOHN GOUGH NICHOLS, F.S.A. ______________ [Extracted from THE HERALD AND GENEALOGIST.] 1871. WATSON’S EARLS OF WARREN AND SURRY. 193 One of the most remarkable genealogical works produced in England during the last century, both for the purpose and intent of its production and the labor and sumptuousness of its execution, is Watson’s History of the Earls of Warren and Surrey. It is embellished with every illustration, armorial, monumental, and topographical, of which the subject was capable: and further decorated with countless number of ornamental initials and vignettes (generally arabesques of considerable elegance) all impressed from copper plates. The detached engravings, more than fifty in number, are described in the full account which Moule gives of the book in his Bibliotheca Heraldica. pp. 441-445; but it is impossible to estimate the cost which must have been expended on so sumptuous a work. The author, the Rev. John Watson, M.A., F.S.A. had published a History of Halifax (4to. 1775) in which (pp. 523-525) he has given minute details of his own biography down to that period. He was born in 1724 at Lyme cum Hanley, in the parish of Prestbury, Cheshire 1; was elected a Cheshire Fellow of Brazenose 1746; became Perpetual Curate of Ripponden in the parish of Halifax 1754; F.S.A. 1759; Rector of Mouingsby, co.

THE HERALDIC LEGACY OF SIR ISAAC HEARD Clive Cheesman An ingenious king of arms, even when childless, may find a way to transmit his own armorial bearings. An investigation into the legacy of Sir Isaac Heard (1730-1822; Norroy 1774-80, Clarenceux 1780-84 and Garter 1784-1822: Figure 1), pursued to its fullest extent, takes one into unexpected fields. The story will touch upon the sexual mores of British India, military exploits in the high Himalayas, an independent fiefdomi n the North West Provinces, a beautiful but murderous Begum, the Italian Risorgimento, electoral corrup• tion in the Home Counties, a notorious marital dispute, a declaration of lunacy, and a huge fortune acrimoniously con• tested in several major jurisdictions of western Europe.
