Palliser: Historic Devices, Badges, and War-Cries


Historic Devices, Badges, and War-Cries by Mrs. Bury Palliser (1870)

This is a delightful book, abundantly illustrated, which reviews the emblematic badges and coats of arms of many families and organizations. There is a table in the back listing the main devices and mottoes. Part III, "War Cries," is an unusual addition to the standard topic, something I have not seen covered in similar books.
