This register of all crests known to have been in use in Great Britain and Ireland is the definitive book in its field. The main part of this encyclopedic work is an alphabetical list of about 50,000 names associated with various crests (the ornaments and devices attached to a helmet or coronet and pictured above the shield in a coat-of-arms), with a full description of each crest and a reference to the plate in which it is illustrated. Next is a section containing a list of 5,000 mottoes and the names of the families using them. There is also a key to the plates, which cross-indexes the names of the families assigned to each crest, and a dictionary of terms which serves as a glossary. The illustrated portion--its chief feature--consists of 314 full-page plates with beautiful engravings of about 5,000 crests.

Excerpt from Fairbairn's Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2 This, we believe, will enable the book to maintain fully its old position and reputation as the only authoritative and the most complete collection of Crests and Mottoes in use in this country, a position in which it has hitherto had no rival. The question of the right of any particular person to the crest to which a claim is made depends upon proof of descent from the original grantee. Such proof often amounts to a highly controversial discussion, and it has seemed to us that we were not called upon for the purposes of the present work to [adopt any such standard; rather otherwise, because the omission of a crest int consequence of a lack of proof of pedigree would create a hindrance to the use of the book by those handicraftsmen who need to refer to its pages.
