L’Art de Verifier ies Dates, et Tables genealogiques et^ 
of what they once were, ftimulated fome of their writers 
to the purfuit of heraldic fubjects; the chief heraldic 
treatifes in that language are : Hiftoria delle Famiglie 
nobili Neapolitane, da Scipione Ammirato, 2 vols. folio,, 
1561.—Della Nobilita della Italia, dal Signior Francefco 
Zazzera, folio, 1615.—Corona della Nobilita] da Pietro

miglie nobili cofi Neapolitani come Foreftieri, cofi vive, 
come fpente, condoro arme, compofte dal Signior Don

In England, where prowefs in arms, and improve¬ 
ments in literature, have more confpiciioufly gone hand- 
in hand, we have many heraldic works, which do ho¬ 
nour to the fpirit of the nation. The chief of thefe are : 
Leigh’s Accidens of Armourie,. or Art of Blazoning,. 
4to. 1562, and many times reprinted.—Boflwell’s Workes 
of Armourie, and of Cotes and Creaftes, 8vo. 1572, and 
1597.—Feme’s Blazon of Gentrie, 4to 1592..—Segar’s 
Honor militarie and civil], Knighthood in general, and 
Combats for Life and Triumph, folio, 1602.—Bolton’s 
Elements of Armouries, 4to. 1610.—Camden’s Remains,. 
4to. 1604; thrice printed.—Guillim’s Dil'play of Heral- 
drie, folio, s6io; which, from being the firft familiar 
and more intelligible arrangement of the fubjedt, was 
feven times reprinted.—Miller’s Catalogue of Honour,, 
folio, 1612.—Mirrour of Majeftie, 4to. 1618.—York’s 
Union of Honour, folio, 1640.—Doddridge’s Honor’s 
Pedigree, 8vo. 1652.—Spelman’s Afpilogia, 1654.—Wa- 
terhoufe’s Defence of Arms and Armoury, 8vo. 1660.— 
Morgan’s Sphere of Gentry, folio, 1661; and his Armi- 
logia, 4to. came out in 1666.—Holme’s Accademie of 
Armorie, folio.—Gore’s Catalog. Script, de Re Fleral- 
dica, 4to. 1668, 1674.—Philipot’s Origin and Growth of 
Heraldry, 8vo. 1672.—Selden’s Titles ofPIonour, folio. 
—Carter’s Analyfis of Honour, 8vo. 1673.—Dugdale’s 
Baronage, folio, 1676; and true ufe of Armoury, 8vo. 
1681. —Gibbon’s Introdu61ion to Latin Blazon, 8vo„ 
1682. —NitbePs Ancient and Modern Armouries, 4to, 
1718 ; and his Syftem of practical Heraldry, 2 vols. fo¬ 
lio, 172:.—Cates’s Dictionary of Heraldry, 1725.—• 
Chronica Anglicana.—Anderfon’s Genealogical Tables,, 
folio.—Boyer’s Great Theater of Honour and Nobility, 
4to. 1754-—EdmondfoiAs complete Body of Heraldry,. 
2 vjols. folio, 1-780; and his magnificent Baronagium 
Genealogicum, 1764 ; and a fupplementary vol. in 1783 ; 
with arms, quartering and pedigrees, in a fuperior 
ftyle.— Collins’s Peerage.—Peerage of Scotland, by fir 
Robert Douglas,, bart. folio, 1768.—Betham’s Barone¬ 
tage of England, 5 vols. 4to. 1801.—Dallaway’s Science- 
of Heraidry in England, 4to. 1793.—Godwin’s Pe.erage 
of England, 2 vols. 4to. 1790, with a third volume,, 
containing the arms of the Englifli nobility, magnifi¬ 
cently engraved ; but in which the principles of heral¬ 
dry are in a great meafnre deftroyed, by the fanciful 
pofitions into which the fupporters are thrown. This 
fancy may be admired, from the variety it affords,— but 
it is not heraldry. —Knapp’s Anecdotes of Heraldry and 
Chivalry, 4to. 1795.—Delamotte’s hiftorical and allufive 
Arms, 410. 1803.—Noble’s College of Arms, 4to. 1804. 
—To which we might add the Treatifes of Forney,, 
Clarke, Brydfon, and the late Ralph Bigland, See. 
From the preceding lift of foreign and domeftic au¬ 
thors in this branch of fcience, we conceive the young- 
ftudent in heraldry will be enabled to feledt fiich books 
as, from their titles, may appear beft fuited to his pur- 
pofe; but above all the ‘ f Englifli Heraldry” of the 
Rev. James Dallaway, a work as inrtruclive as it is inte- 
refting,.
