" A useful and compendious guide to the fascinating study of Heraldry. 

 Orderly, lucid, and amply illustrated from designs by the Author. It 

 justifies its claim to be a practical treatise." Notes and Queries. 



" Mr Worthy's Manual is addressed to the general reader, and explains the 

 terms and rules of Heraldry in clear, non-technical language. It gives useful

 accuracy." Morning Post. 



" We have here a most useful book, and now that the study of Heraldry 

 and the tracing of ancestry have become so general, a book which ought to be 

 found in every gentleman's library. Mr Worthy is no mean authority on the
