It was to this that the attention of those who originally adopted or assigned arms was principally directed ; but it must be confessed that the efforts to make the arms fit the name are in some cases not only far-fetched, but absurd. If it is true, as Nisbet hints, that the cocks in the arms of Law were * "The Eagle's Nest, " pp. 221-227. E 66 HERALDRY AS ILLUSTRATING HISTORY.

But I have, I hope, said enough to show what an important place in armory these canting or allusive coats occupied.
