Originally desscribed as “a concise description of the several terms used, and containing a dictionary of every designation in the science” In 1924, this manual was entirely rewritten by Francis Grant, the then Rothesay Herald, to remove much of the repetition of earlier editions and to tighten up the descriptions of the heraldic terms used in the dictionary, which is arguably the most immediately useful section of the book: the most entertaining section, however, for the modern reader, is probably the painstaking listing of the order of precedence in society.

Organisers of society dinners will no longer have to worry about whether Masters in Lunacy go in to dine before the Commissioner of the Great Seal: this book will solve that social dilemma for you!* A pathfinding text, once again available for a new generation of local and family historians.
