The particular description of England. 1588. With views of some of the chief towns and armorial bearings of nobles and bishops
An 1879 Hertford printing of William Smith's 1588 manuscript survey of England, edited by Henry Benjamin Wheatley and Edmund W. Ashbee for antiquaries and students of heraldry. Plates hold numbered rows of coronet-topped shields in flat red, yellow, and blue, with lions, crosses, chequers, and quartered arms, alongside town views — useful for pattern fills, badges, and bold two-colour emblem work.
