THE DATES OF VARIOUSLY-SHAPED SHIELDS

With Coincident Dates and ExamplesIN venturing to place before the public this little work - which takes up a line of enquiry never before attempted,-i would solicit criticism, not of that slashing condemnatory kind which destroys a statement without pointing out its correction - that would only break my head, and make no one the wiser l - but I hope that antiquaries who have more knowledge than I, may, when pointing out errors, also explain what such statements ought to be, and give exact references in proof.With the help of such criticism (and the more severe, the more valuable it will be) I trust that another perfected issue, by myself, or by some other more qualified writer, may eventually appear as a handbook - most useful to the student, the antiquary, and the traveller.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
