Excerpt from Heraldry; Ancient and Modern: Including Boutell's Heraldry
We are taught that a single word spoken, a mere articulate syllable thrown into the air, reverberates through space for ever, seeing that there is no rim against which it can strike, no end at which it can possibly arrive. Similarly I would hope (not as an ingenious speculation) that those who have enjoyed the study of Heraldry may, each in turn, contribute in some measure to extend the knowledge of this delightful science and help to remove the ignorance and confusion which exists, until every person knows, and ceases to violate, its simple rules.
