To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E 3 42 The general distinctions made, were with respect to the rank of the bearer; the subjects were his pre- cise gradation in the line of his descent, and his ac- quirements of honour and property. All coat armour was reduced under nine divisions, four of which were deemed perfect, and five imperfect. Of the perfect kind, were those warranted by regular descent, and called abstract, or of the heir male, without differ- ence ; terminal, or of the brethren of the right line ; collateral, or of ...the brethren of the heir male; Jixal, third degree by right line of male heirs. The imper- fect arms were those granted by the king with a lord- ship ; the gift of a king devised by a herald ; the ensign of a Saracen won in the field ; the heir female of the elder branch, and of bastardy ; which last case is generally expressed by a baton, or truncheon, that is a short staff couped at both ends, called by the French a baton peri.
The art of quartering arms is undoubtedly an admirable means of showing, at one view, the repre- sentation of several different families; we cannot, therefore, be surprised to find that it was resorted to at so early a period as the fourteenth century, when armorial insignia were held in such high repute ; and a nobleman, proud of the honours of his ancestors, coilld adopt no means to call to the mind of a be- holder, the warlike deeds of his renowned progenitors more strikingly, than by placing their respective arms oh his own shining buckler.
