Numerous illustrations, many from sources now lost, back up a detailed discussion of world-wide developments in armor from the earliest times, and weapons from the Stone Age to early firearms and cannon.
Charles Boutell wrote the most famous works on heraldry of all time. They continue to be in print in updated editions today, although the original edition of Arms and Armour has become a rare collector's item.
