A more thorough acquaintance with English archaisms and provincialisms would probably enable one to detect numerous other bearings corresponding with the surnames of the bearers; but these seventy examples, cited from one branch of our lesser nobility only, are fully sufficient to prove that there is nothing mean or disgraceful in canting or allusive arms. It would be a matter of little difficulty to fill fifty pages with arms of this description, but a few more, and those of the most remarkable, may be given. The family of _Still_ bear guttée d'eau, drops of water; STILLA, Lat. a drop; _Drope_, Lord Mayor of London, also bore guttée; and _Harbottle_ bore three drops or. _Vere_, Earl of Oxford, gave a boar, in Latin VERRES. _Clear_, _Bright_, _Day_, and _St. Clere_ bear a 'sun in splendour;' the same luminary is also given by Dy_son_ and Pear_son_; while Dela_luna_ bears a crescent, and _Ster_ling stars. The crest of _Holden-Rose_, as given in Baker's Northamptonshire, may be briefly described as a hand HOLDING A ROSE! Harrison bears a hedgehog, in French _herisson_; Pascall, a paschal-lamb; and Keats three cats! _And_ bears gules a Roman =&= argent! Brand, Lord Dacre, bears two _brands_, or antient swords, in saltire; Hose, three _legs_ couped at the thigh; and Pickering, a _pike_ between three _annulets_. * * * * *
