Excerpt from Encyclopaedia Heraldica, or Complete Dictionary of Heraldry, Vol. 1 Although every heraldic term, or subject connected with the science of Heraldry, will be found under each specific head, in alphabetical arrangement, in this Dictionary, properly explained, technically and otherwise, with references, in general, to an engraved plate, in order that it may be the more clearly understood, - yet, to such as may not be well versed in the science, or Wholly unacquainted with it, a kind of Grammar of Heraldry, if it may be so termed, cannot prove otherwise than interesting as well as useful, and the following general outline of its composition is given, by way of introduction, which a reference to the Dictionary and Plates will more fully explain. The shield, upon which the various devices of Heraldry are depicted, has varied in shape with the caprice of the times, as the fertile imaginations of whimsical heralds, engravers. And painters, have suggested, but seldom bearing any very near resemblance to the shield of the warrior, actually used in the field of battle, single combat, or tournament; which will, however, be found more fully treated upon under the several heads of achievement, buckler, target, &0. But more particularly under that of escutcheon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
