Editorial Reviews: This is the standard reference work on all aspects of Scottish heraldry with complete details on the history, science and practice. It contains abundant references to original sources of information and full details on the procedure for obtaining a grant of arms. The plates include reproductions of heraldic bookplates, extracts of matriculations of arms, birthbrieves, genealogical trees, and illustrations of heraldic design in architecture. Prepared by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Scots Heraldry is the acknowledged standard on the subject of Scottish heraldry, which is entirely distinct in administration from the English system. The book includes a bibliography of works related to Scots heraldry and extracts of Acts of Parliament with special bearing on the office of Lord Lyon King of Arms. More to the point, the reader will find the simple and entrancing story of how Scottish heraldry originated, grew, and adapted itself to Scottish requirements.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Scots Heraldry (any edition) Comment: I have all three editions of this book. Very highly recommended as the standard reference on Scots heraldry. Customer Rating: Summary: Editions Comment: There are three editions of the text by Thomas Innes of Learney:1st Ed 1934; 2nd Ed 1956 after he was knighted; 3rd Ed 1978 for which the revisor was the author's son (Sir) Malcolm Innes of Edingight. Each edition has its own special values. Both father and son were the Lord Lyon King of Arms. The illustrations of the first ed may be more extensive than later ones. The 2nd ed is the most detailed. The 3rd has the arms of the Duke of Rothesay (HRH Prince Charles). Customer Rating: Summary: You have the author's name wrong Comment: The author's name is not "Thomas Innes", it is "Sir Thomas Innes of Learney". The "of Learney" is an integral part of his name, as you would know if you had read the book. More Reviews
