Excerpt from A Treatise on Ecclesiastical Heraldry Accordingly the' work consists of Two Parts. The First deals with the general use of Armorial Insignia by the Ecclesiastics of the Western Church from the earliest times to the present.' This portion contains 'much curious. And out of the way information on subjects which have never yet been fully treated by an English writer. Its information and illustrations have been gathered not only from collections of coins, medals, and seals, and from many scarce works, unknown to the general reader, which are only accessible in Public Libraries of the first class, but are also largely derived from the extensive notes made by me in a lengthened experience of over thirty years' travel in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, etc. In the course. Of that time I have always had in mind a work on the present lines, and consequently have amassed, in an area which extends from the Peninsula to Poland and from Sicily to Sweden, the information which I have now the pleasure to make accessible. It is confidently hoped that the artist, and the collector of books, plate, seals, china, bookplates, etc., as well as the antiquary and student' of Heraldry, will find here much that is useful and interesting. The Second Parz' contains an enlargement and corree tion of the Notice of the Arms of the Episcopates of Great Britain and Ireland, with Heraldic Notes, writtenby me in illustration of a series of illuminated coats of arms, published by A. Warren in This book (of which Her Majesty the Queen was pleased to accept the dedication) has been long out of. Print, and repeated requests have been made to me that its letterpress should be reprinted. This is now done, with much additional historical information, -with some corrections, and a new series of plates. This portion of the work also includes the arms of the numerous colonial Sees, and those of the chief Abbeys and Religious Houses, the Deaneries, and other ancient Ecclesiastical Foundations in England. The Continental portion of this section contains the blazon of the arms of the Popes from I 144 to the present time an account of the great Religious Principalities of the Holy Roman Empire and much historical and heraldic information with regard to the principal Sees, Religious Houses and Chapters in Germany, Italy, 'france, Poland, and the Low Countries as well as the arms and devices of the most important religious Orders and communities; and of the British and some foreign Universities.
