1682031089London: Printed by J.M. For the Author 1682. First Edition. Small Octavo. 1 pp ad 12 165 pp. 3pp. several illustrations of coat of arms within the text . In 1659 see note below Gibbon sailed to Virginia where he lived for three years working as estate manager for Richard Lee. He describes how he watched a group of Native Americans engage in a war dance. Their shields and bodies were colorfully painted in personal emblems which led him to think they were a form of heraldry pp. 155-157. From unprinted manuscripts of Gibbon we learn he brought with him from England books on husbandry dictionaries and a Bible. A copy of this first edition edited by him was obtained by the Library of Congress in 1943 and described by Frederick R. Goff Chief of the Rare Book Division. In his notes we learn that Colonel Lee was making 2000 pounds a year on his tobacco crops. Gibbon returned to England where his work on heraldry was produced while working at the College of Arms where he specialized in accounts of the role of heralds in European History. note: DNB wrongly gives Gibbon's date of entry into Virginia at 1657 but see Martha W. Hiden and Henry M. Dargan "John Gibbon's Manuscript Notes Concerning Virginia" in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Vol. 74 No. 1 January 1966 p. 1-22. A very scarce item with importance both for early Virginia and heraldry in the 17th century.
