The reproduction of Wallis's "Londons armory" 1677 (110 plates) consists of the dedication plate to Alderman Sir John Robinson, knt. and bart., with his coat of arms: the engraved t.p. with the arms of the lord mayor, sheriffs and aldermen for the year 1677; the dedication to the king; engraved plate of the royal arms; the license to print; dedication to the lord mayor and aldermen; the preface; the arms of the city of London. Then follow 100 plates of the arms of 73 city companies, and 27 other corporate bodies. The last two plates are the dedication to the Duke of York (with his arms) as colonel of the artillery company, and the arms of the company. cf. p. 55-60.
It is curious that so little information is available in connection with armorial china from any published works on Chinese or other porcelain. Except for the late Mr. F.A. Crisp's "Armorial China", which is an illustrated catalogue of his own collection, and for "Examples of Armorial China", which merely gives reproducations in colour by W. Griggs, of pieces in various collections, there is no work definitely devoted to this subject, while even these works make no attempt in any way to describe its origin and history. Yet the collection of armorial porcelain is a most interesting one, dealing as it does, not only with the manufacture and quality of the china itself, but also, by means of the armorial bearings, conveying its own date and history, and leading the student on to the fascinating study of heraldry and genealogy.--pg. 1.
