British crests : containing the crests and mottos of the families of Great Britain and Ireland; together with those of the principal cities; and a glossary of heraldic terms

Numbered plates set twelve crests in oval frames per page: lions, griffins, wyverns, stags, birds, arms holding weapons, crowns, trees and stars, each on a small hatched mound, usable as spot devices, monogram stamps or emblem grids.
