First edition of Augustine Vincent's important work on heraldry, famously remembered as the work that delayed by a year the publication of Shakespeare's first folio, as publisher William Jaggard was so busy in making corrections to Vincent's text. Profusely illustrated with woodcut coats of arms, this is a partial reprint of Ralph Brooke's Catalogue of Nobility of 1619.
