Mottoes of some Devonshire families

Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. 29, (1897), pp. 286-290.

by

F.T. Colby

Prepared by Michael Steer

This brief paper was presented, perhaps as light entertainment at the Association's 1897 Kingsbridge meeting. In Heraldry, a family mottoe is "a short saying expressing the guiding maxim or ideal of a particular family, especially when used as part of a coat of arms". The author provides examples of variety of Devon family mottoes, with some illustrations of the mistakes made in interpreting them.
