A Dictionary of Heraldry. By Charles Norton Elvin, M.A. (Kent

and Co.)—This is a dictionary "of the terms met with in the Science [of Heraldry], with their appropriate illustrations." The plates are forty-six in number, each of full-page size, giving a pictorial representation of every term or object named (heraldic objects being, as is well known, very different from those that are found in Nature). A dictionary is added, extending over more than a hundred and thirty pages.
