This is a reprint of the first major American journal devoted to heraldry. The object of the journal was to preserve the statements of the early colonists as to their ancestry and to collect all the examples of the use of arms after the first generation in America. It contains profuse illustrations of rare, early American coats of arms and armorial seals, and it features authoritative studies of the ancient families of Virginia, New England, Maryland, and New York.
