Publisher's Synopsis
The Original Manuscript, of which was extracted the present Volume, exhibits a Facsimile that is of unquestioned authenticity and considerable importance. It is one of the earliest Heraldic collections extant, and the blazonry presents no unfavorable specimen of the state of the Arts in Scotland at the period of its execution. The Work is ascertained, from internal evidence, to have been emblazoned by Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount, Lyon King of Arms in the reign of James the Fifth.
