Book description

The author draws the attention of the Society to the consideration of a purely genealogical issue. This work does not pretend to suggest any question of great difficulty or to discuss an issue of great real importance. This is a subject that the Antiquary and Herald, accustomed to studying the dusty records of the past, are infinitely more interested in than the Politician, Critic or Philosopher. However, the author wished that the Armorial Bearing of the city, which is so important in the British possessions as Manchester admittedly is, be somehow explained and explained, so that we no longer doubt that in antiquity by its origin, and also by inheritance, it is one of the first places in the list of the largest cities and the oldest districts of the kingdom. The Arms of Manchester is usually attributed to a branch of the ancient Gresley Derbyshire family that has resided in that county from the time of the Conquest to the present, and is now represented by Sir Roger Gresley, Baronet of Drakelow.
