 Title:  [Book on heraldry], [18th century?]     
 Dates:  Circa 18th century 
 Abstract:  This volume, along with [Dictionary of Heraldry] (Mss.929.6.H41), date from the 18th century and contain a range of information on heraldry. The Dictionary of Heraldry (H41) lists family names and descriptions of their shields. The back of the volume includes designs of various shields, many of which are in color. The Book on Heraldry (B646), which carries what appears to be a forgery of Benjamin Franklin's signature on its first page, is much smaller. It too contains information on names, shields, and family origins. The back page has a map of the Delmarva Peninsula done by Mason and Dixon. Notes on longitude and latitude sit on the page next to the map.
