Excerpt from A Manual of Heraldry, Historical and Popular
Historical Heraldry occupies a position of such impor tance in Histories of England, that a certain amount of heraldic knowledge has become indispensable to the. Student of English History.
Every Gothic Architect ought to be a thorough Herald. Heraldry alone can enable him to render his works, in the noblest and most perfect sense, historic monuments. Without Heraldry, no lover of the great Art, which has been so happily revived amongst us, is able either to feel the full power of what the Gothic has transmitted to him from the olden time, or to realise all that it is now able to accomplish as a living art.
