The first of the two following rolls, the entire blazon of which has never before appeared in print, has for many years been preserved in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries. How or when it came into their possession does not appear, and the only fact that has been ascertained as to its previous history is, that about the year 1610 it was in the custody of Nicholas Charles, then Lancaster Herald, to whose pains we owe the preservation of the second roll, known of late by his name, and now also published for the first time.

page 392 note a St. George's roll has 677, and the Society's roll 486 coats. Of these, about 350 are common to both. Deduct this number from 1163, the aggregate sum; the remainder, 813, is, approximately, the number of independent coats obtained from both rolls.
page 392 note b Where various readings occur, my notation is as follows:—No. 17 denotes the reading of the Society's Roll; F, that of the copy in trick; E, that of the copy of St. George's roll, Harl. MS. No. 6137; E′, that of the copy No. 6589 in the same collection. “Where the readings agree, F refers both to the Society's roll and to the tricked copy; E to both copies of St. George's roll.
