Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Heraldry British and Foreign, Vol. 2: With English and French Glossaries
Of the existing record of arms. In the case of the most numerous family, the campbells - foi whom more than a hundred coats are registered - by far the larger number have been assigned to persons either certainly having, or with a high degree of probability claiming a connection with the head Of the house One of the principal duties imposed on lyon by the Scottish Parliament in 1592, is the assigning Of proper differ ences to cadets, and the bearing of arms without such differences was made penal, by the statutes of 1662, and 1672.
In most English heraldic books this important subject of dfierencing is only adverted to very brie?y and this almost entirely with reference to the little regarded practice Of modern times. One bright exception is the excellent work by my late friend the Rev. C. Boutell, Heraldry, Historical and Popular; in which there is a most valuable and interesting Chapter on Cadency and Differencing, the materials for which are mainly extracted from the English Rolls of Arms.
