The arms of Archiepiscopal and Episcopal sees in England and Ireland, and of those heretofore established in Scotland ... A discourse on the origin, use, and abuse, of funeral trophies. Glover's Ordinary of arms, augmented and improved; an alphabet of arms, containing upwards of fifty thousand coats, with their crests, &c. and a copious glossary, explaining all the technical terms used in heraldry .... A remarkable work who began as the painter of arms on the coaches of Queen Charlotte to the purchase of the manuscripts known as the Baronagium genealogicum (compiled by Simon Segar).

It includes an alphabet of 50,000 coats of arms and owed much to the unpublished "offices of arms", an unpublished manuscript by John Anstit, the elder, Garter. One of the essential volumes on the great coats of arms of the English lords. (references: see A. Wagner, Heralds of England; W.T. Lowndes, The bibliographers manual of English literature).
