A complete body of heraldry : containing, an historical enquiry into the origin of armories, and the rise and progress of heraldry, considered as a science ...
Joseph Edmondson's two-volume heraldic reference, printed for the author in London in 1780, compiled from Robert Glover's collections for antiquaries, officers of arms and gentry tracing pedigrees. Engraved plates array numbered shields in tight grids, each carrying a charge or field pattern: beasts, birds, hands, anchors, cups, chevrons, checks and fretwork, usable as ready-made emblem sets, pattern libraries and ornament units.
