This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

\3XR^%$uppL CataL^ No* 7 ; Wyon, /.^♦jp. iio, Laing attributes this
seal, notwithstanding its date of use, to the national party in Scotland
** after the surrender of John Balliol in 1296, when the great seal used by
that sovereign was withdrawn ; his authority was, however, still recognised
in Scotland." It appears very improbable that this is a seal of John Balliol :
the details of the throne seem to point to a period subsequent to his
reign ; and the use of the genitive Reg[is] on the fragmentary legend
couhrms this view. Dou^t d'Arcq (No» 10,253) calls this seal (the
original impression being in the Archives de P Empire attached to a
document dated 25 Feb. 1301) the ** Sceau de la Regence," and there is
a clause in the deed designating it as " Sigillum regimini Scocie d£puta-
tum^^ From the general French style of art exhibited in the design, and
its resemblance in some respects to the seal of Philip 111., King of the
French, there can be little doubt that it was made in France, and in that
respect is, of course, connected with John, who retained the title of King
of Scots while in exile in that country* The original seal bears on the
reverse, as a counterscal, an impression of the seal of John de Soules, Knt.,
ihc " Custos regni*' at this period. For an impression of this, see xlvii*
1 1 75 (or Laing's CataL^ No. 750), which will be described in its proper
place further on.

The barrel borne in the arms is probably in reference to the
office of king's cellarer or butler. The Barony of Kinnaird
in later times was !ield by the tenure of a penny Scots yearly
and keeping the king's cellar of ale whenever the court
resided in the country. These arms are not recorded by
Burke.

of the seal to which attention is directed in the notes to
Noa 14,816, p« 16, and I4,828» p. 19. If accurately attributed

appended, within recent times, to the document there

This seal» which should follow No, 14,840, appears to have

There appears to be a transference of ideas in the two
seals of this king for Scotland. James VI. used the side
which bears the king*s ^^^ riding on a horse as the obverse^
and that bearing the achievement of royal arms as the
reterse. This is indicated by the legends respectively em-
ployed ; the royal style and titles appearing on the ohv, ; the
text, motto, or invocation on the rev. Charles I. places the
royal style on the heraldic side of the seals, whereby it
Ix^comes the obverse, and the motto on that hearing the
mounted effigy, thereby making it the reverse. Hence the

of George IIL for Scotland used after a.d, 1800 when the
use of the Royal Arms of France was discarded, viz.
quarterly; 1,4, SCOTLAND, 2, ENGLAND, 3, IRELAND ; overall
an escutcheon of pretence, Brunswick impaling Luneberg,
on a point in point SaXONY, ensigned with an imperial
crown (called by Burke, Gen, Arm., p, Ix. an ** Electoral
Bonnet/* and dravvTi as such), and surmounted by an escut-
cheon of Charlemagne, for the Arch-Treasurer of tlie Holy
Roman Empire, Cf, No. 685, Vol, i, p. 79.
The shield is encircled with the Collar of the Order of the
Thistle with oval pendant badge of St. Andrew standing
bound in front of his saltire cross. This is in turn encircled
with the Garter, inscribed with the customary motto, and with
the George depending below the badge described above.
Ensigned with a crown, the labels or ribbons of which arc
inscribed : —
IN DEFENC6.
Below the badge of St Andrew, on the dex. a thistle flower
and shamrock or trefoil, on the sin. a rose, each slipped and
leaved. Supporters, dex„ an unicorn^ sin., a lion rampant
guardant, each crowned, etc., as in previous seals, and holding
lances with flags bearing the Union Jack, or united crosses,
as in No. 688* The supporters rest upon a carved scroll or
estrade, over which is laid a ribbon inscribed with the Royal
motto : —

Note that this seal was probably made after 1817, because
the impression of a seal No. 14,847, p. 25, attached to a
charter dated in that year, seventeen years after the Union,
bears the shield of arms which was abandoned in 1800. This
should follow No. 14,848.

Scotland, see No. 14,850, with several small variants in the
design ; the principal of which are the design in the badges
of the Orders of the Thistle and Garter. Here St. Andrew
bears a nimbus and stands behind his saltire cross, holding it
up with his hands ; in that of George IV., the Saint has a
radiancy over the head, and is in front of the saltire. The
attitude of St. George in combat with the dragon differs from
that on George IV.'s seal. The treatment of the crosses on
the flags held up on lances by the supporters in the seals of
George IV. and William IV. is identical, but differs from that
of previous seals.
