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 maiginalia 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.

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

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

Laing's SuppL CataL, No. 7 ; Wyon, /. r., p. no. 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that sovereign was withdrawn ; his authority was, however, still recognised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
confirms this view. Dou^t d*Arcq (No. 10,253) calls this seal (the
original impression being in the Archives de VEmpire attached to a
document dated 23 Feb. 1301) the " Sceau de la R^gence,*' and there is
a clause in the deed designating it as '* Sigillum regimini Scocie deputa-
tumJ* From the general French style of art exhibited in the design, and
its resemblance in some respects to the seal of Philip III., 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 dcots while in exile in that country. The original seal bears on the
reverse, as a counterseal, an impression of the seal of John de Soules, Knt.,
the ** Custos regni " at this period. For an impression of this, see xlvii.
1175 (or Laing's CtUaLy No. 750), which will be described in its proper
place further on.

appended, within recent times, to the document there

spur ; right hand uplifted, wearing a gauntlet, and holding a
broad sword with wide channelled blade, not carried up
beyond the field of the design but stopping abruptly at the
circle which holds the legend. Saddle ; breast-cloth bordered,
and charged with a thistle slipped and leaved ; caparison on
the flanks bordered, and charged with a rose en soleiL In
the field, over the horse's head a fleur-de-lis, over the tail, a
portcullis, chained and ringed.

This seal, which should follow No. 14,840, appears to have
been afterw. adopted by king Charles I., see No. 14,841, by
alteration of the king's name. In other respects the descrip-
tion there given will stand equally as well as the above.

CHARLES. I.
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 effigy riding on a horse as the obverse,
and that bearing the achievement of royal arms as the
reverse. This is indicated by the legends respectively em-
ployed ; the royal style and titles appearing on the obv. ; the
text, motto, or invocation on the rev. Charles I. places the
royal style on the heraldic side of the seals, whereby it
becomes the obverse, and the motto on that hearing the
mounted effigy, thereby making it the rei>erse. Hence the

flag as described before. Below the Garter, on the dex. a
thistle branch, on the sin. a rose branch, each slipped and

ribbon inscribed with the royal motto : —

The numeral II. after the king's name in the legend, is
correctly applied to William III. of England, there having
been but one previous king of Scots thus named.
R. The king in classical armour, with flowing cloak and
sword, riding on a horse springing to the r. h., and ac-
companied by the queen, in the bacl^ound, also riding. On
a landscape showing the city and environs of Edinburgh.
The design is derived from, and is a fairly correct copy of, 5ie
rev, of the Great Seal of William and Mary for England, see
No. 628, Vol. i. p. 70. In the field over the horse's tail a
flower, slipped and leaved, ensigned with a crown.

This appears to be, for the most part, an adaptation or
imitation of the obv. of the Great Seal of George III. for
Great Britain, No. 688, Vol. i. p. 79,
R. An ornamentally shaped shield of the ROYAL Arms
of George III. for Scotland used after a.d. 1800 when the-
use of the Royal Arms of France was discarded, viz.
quarterly; i, 4, SCOTLAND, 2, ENGLAND, 3, Ireland ; overall
an escutcheon of pretence, Brunswick impaling Lt)NEBERG,
on a point in point Saxony, ensigned with an imperial
crown (called by Burke, Gen, Arm,, p. Ix. an "Electoral
Bonnet," and drawn as such), and surmounted by an escut-
cheon of Charlemagne, for the Arch-Treasurer of the 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 customarylmotto, and with
the George depending below the badge described above.
Ensigned with a crown, the labels or ribbons of which are
inscribed :—
IN DEFENCE.
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 18 17, 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.

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 I V/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.
