Bound in contemporary half morocco over marbled boards, elaborately gilt panelled spine between raised bands. Binding a little rubbed at extremities, title with semicircular marginal damp stain and ½" closed tear to outer edge, some offsetting from engraved material, modern bookplate, but overall a very nice copy. The First Edition. "The author of this elegant and erudite work has here, with the pen of a Tacitus, accurately defined, in a most comprehensive manner, the rise and progress of the science of heraldry, from the earliest through the most interesting period of British history, accommodating the study to modern systems." (Moule's Bibliothecæ Heraldica.) Dallaway's work also reprints the part of the celebrated "Boke of St. Albans" (1486) which relates to Armorial Bearings. Lowndes II 583.
