To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dudley, which has a canal port of another sort, displays a salamander amid flames and a couple of an- chors between a basket of coals with a castle in the chief. Shrewsbury has three lions' heads ; Bury St. Edmunds three crowns with the two crossed arrows in each ; Winchester has five castles and two lions ; Taun- ton has a cherub and a crown ; and Penzance — " the holy head " — has St. John's head on the charger, his head having also reached Penzance as it did Triming- ham and Amiens.
Oxford h...as a red ox on a rippling river which are the arms of the county ; and in many other cases the arms assumed by the county are those of the county town. The heralds used to say that a county is neither a country, nor a corporation, nor a person, and consequently cannot bear arms, but the counties did so all the same, for they could not do without seals, and hence arms, and hence a flag such as can be seen flying from the Middlesex county hall at Westminster.
The counties which were ancient kingdoms have had insignia for centuries, and the later shires took arms which were mostly from the towns from which they took their names.
