A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry ; or, Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland enjoying territorial possessions or high official rank : but uninvested with heritable honours
John Burke's 1837 genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry, published in London by Colburn for families documenting territorial descent without hereditary titles. Line-engraved coats of arms fill the text: quartered shields, chevrons, crosses crosslet, boars' heads, mullets and battlements, topped by crests and supporters, offering clean black-and-white heraldic charges for badges, monograms and ornament.
