Excerpt from The Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol. 3: A Description of All Coats of Arms on Brasses, Monuments, Slabs, Hatchments, &C., Now to Be Found in the County, Illustrated, With References to Blomefield's History of Norfolk and Burke's Armory, Together With Notes From the Inscriptions Attached Ir is gratifying to me, at last, to issue to the subscribers the final pages of the Church Heraldry of Norfolk, and in so doing I have to offer them my apologies for the delay, which has been caused by many insurmountable obstacles. I have to crave indulgence for some few errors, more especially to be found in the earlier pages Of the work, and which have become apparent during the ten years I have been collecting the materials, and passing it through the press. I have often regretted that, throughout the work, I did not add to its usefulness by reference to the mass of in formation contained in the mss. In the British Museum, but this would, at the same time, have added greatly to the cost of its production, and increased its bulk. I hope it may prove of use to the heraldic and genealogical student of my own county; and that it may be a sort of foundation for both a Norfolk Armory and an Ordinary of Armorials. If such be the case, my labours will not have been in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
