The first edition of this work, published in 1824, was printed without the supervision of Sir Samuel Meyrick, who always repudiated it as full of faults, especially in the colouring. Every leaf and plate of the present edition was submitted to his correction, and it was published with his entire approval. 10950 MEYRICK'S ENGRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS OF ANCIENT ARMS AND ARMOUR; a Series of 154 very highly finished Etchings of the Collection of Llewelyn Meyrick at Goodrich Court, Herefordshire; engraved by JOSEPH SKELTON, and accompanied by historical and critical Disquisitions by Dr. (SIR SAMUEL RUSH) MEYRICK, LL.D., &c. 2 vols. atlas 4to. with portrait (pub. at £11. 11s), hf. bd. morocco extra, richly gilt back and gilt edges (uniform with the preceding work), £4. 14s 10951 1854 the same, 2 vols. atlas 4to.
