Excerpt from Armory and Lineages of Canada: Comprising the Lineage of Prominent and Pioneer Canadians, With Descriptions and Illustrations of Their Coat Armor, Orders of Knighthood, or Other Official Insignia

It was intended at first to confine the worls to families of early settlers but it cannot be overlooked that Canada, though old in tradition, is yet, in its broad expanse, but a new country, whose citizenship is constantly being augmented by new comers from the older stock of the mother lands. The scope of the work, therefore, will include those who, however recent, are intentionally residents in Canada.

The work will portray the armorials of such of the families herein em braced as have coat-armour and are accustomed to use it, for the recognition and preservation of those cognizances borne by our forefathers tend to enhance the interest and value of family history.

The Heraldic Addenda contain the arms of notables connected with the events in Acadia. New France, and the two Canadas. Others will be added in subsequent sections.
