Excerpt from Fairbairn's Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2 This, we believe, will enable the book to maintain fully its old position and reputation as the only authoritative and the most complete collection of Crests and Mottoes in use in this country, a position in which it has hitherto had no rival.
