Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of European Armour and Arms Through Seven Centuries, Vol. 2 The Baron de Cosson has spared himself neither time nor trouble in courteously replying to the many inquiries that I have addressed him. In writing his book Sir Guy Laking did not think it necessary to give precise references to the authorities from which he quoted; moreover, his authorities were often opinions of experts expressed to him viva woe. If I have succeeded in verifying most of the references to books, it has been mainly due to the help of Mr. Charles Beard, who possesses a wide and accurate acquaintance with the literature of Arms and Armour.
