SECOND AND BEST EDITION of this famous work on Ancient Armor, cor- 

 rected and enlarged by the author with the assistance of Sir Walter Scott, 

 Francis Douce, and others. 



ONE OF THE FINEST BOOKS ON ARMOR EVER PUBLISHED. 



Lord Jefferys eulogised the work as follows, "No previous work can 

 be compared in point of extent, arrangement, science, or utility, with the 

 one now in question. First, It for the first time supplies to our schools 

 of art correct and ascertained data for costume ; Second, It affords a most 

 conclusive elucidation of a great number of passages in our great dramatic 

 poets ; Third, It throws a flood of light upon the manners, usages, and 

 sports of our ancestors."
