| Genre | : Borders Region (Scotland) |
| ISBN | : 9780850339291 |
Nesbitts around the world, whichever of the 44 known ways of spelling the name they may use, will welcome this reprint of their book. The first edition appeared in 1941, in the depths of the war, and was restricted to only 250 copies. It is a tribute to the work that the original publisher, John Murray, was prepared to devote strictly rationed paper to such a specialised book at such a time. The book provides a valuable record of a family that settled in Berwick well over eight centuries ago; of its branches, north and south of the Tweed, and in Canada and the USA.

This is the first of a four-volume collection of British heraldic arms, arranged alphabetically according to their designs and covering the period before 1530. Listed in this volume are entries from Anchor to Bend. This book will help readers to identify the arms that were widely displayed in the Middle Ages and which can now be found not only on tombs, monuments and seals, but also on textiles, manuscripts, metalwork, glass, wall paintings, and other medieval artefacts. The index allows even those without any specialist knowledge of the subject to discover the blazons of arms recorded for particular surnames in the medieval period. Produced specifically to enable readers to identify individual coats of arms, it is an invaluable reference for historians, antiquaries, archaeologists, genealogists and those dealing in and collecting medieval objects.
