The Knapman Shield (II, p. 106, par. 74). — I quite agree with F.W. as to the perplexities of the marshalling of this shield. They have occasioned me many a hunt amongst various records in vain. Perhaps the shield was painted under directions from one who trusted to an imperfect memory, not having at hand the enrolment of the pedigree or grant of arms, or the Heralds' Visitation of 1620, or it may be that the heraldic artist (?) did not follow directions. But that no mistake has ' occurred in my replica of the marshalling is certain, I not only made three copies varying in size, but I laid tracing paper on the panel itself, and both outlined and coloured thereon.
