A CHART of ANCIENT ARMOUR, from the ELEVENTH to the SEVENTEENTH
CENTURIES; containing Eighteen Figures, with a Description and a Sketch
of the Progress of European Armour. By JOHN HEWITT.
"A graphic outline of the subject of military costume during the period
of its greatest interest to the English antiquary. The author has made a
judicious selection of the examples, chiefly from the rich series of
monumental effigies; and, in the brief text which accompanies these
illustrations, a useful resumé will be found of a subject which, not
many years since was attainable only through the medium of costly
publications."--_Archæological Journal._

antiquarians."--_Morning Herald._

all ways a valuable addition to our literature.... Mr. Thoms has

appended many curious and interesting notes and observations of his
own."--_Guardian._

is signally interesting to the British antiquary. Highly interesting and
important work."--_Archæological Journal._
