Excerpt from Historical and Miscellaneous Questions: With Large Additions, Embracing the Elements of Mythology, Astronomy, Architecture, Heraldry, Etc; Etc
I have endeavored, in the few pages on the subject of Her aldry, to give as concise an account of it as possible to convey a clear idea of the terms made use of, the orders of knighthood, titles, etc., which are constantly met with in reading history, and which it is difficult to explain to the pupil totally unacquainted with the subject. I have confined myself to that portion rela ting to England, as our ideas on the subject are entirely taken from that mother country. The plates will give a correct idea of the appearance of the escutcheons, etc. I trust this short explanation will not be thought out of place in our republican country.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise abridgment of Mangnall's Questions representing a simplified version of the original. The author attempts to make this seminal work more accessible to today's general public. The book is organized into 3 chronological sections: Ancient History, a distillation of the historical accounts found largely within the Old Testament, the New Testament and ancient Greek texts and legends; Medieval History, which encapsulates in most part the history of the Catholic Church and the temporal power of the Pope mixed with histories of English and French Monarchs; and Modern History, which focuses primarily on detailing more secular historical events across the globe. Notably, the author's abridgment includes an intriguing section devoted to mythology and one focused on heraldry, a unique element not found in the original Mangnall's Questions. This meticulously researched and well-written abridgment offers a rich exploration of world history in a style compelling to the modern reader. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330328729_0
