The peerage of Ireland : or, A genealogical history of the present nobility of that kingdom
John Lodge's genealogical history of the Irish nobility, revised by Mervyn Archdall and printed in Dublin in 1789 for peers, antiquaries and genealogists. Engraved armorial plates show crowned shields with crests, mottoes on ribbon scrolls and paired supporters — lions, griffins, owls, boars — drawn in fine line and hatching, useful as crests, badges, banner shapes and heraldic beasts.
