About this book

Andrew Macgeorge wrote this account of flags for general readers, covering British banners and those of other nations. His prefatory note is dated December 1880. The contents move from ancient standards of Egypt, Assyria and Rome through banners, the royal standard and the flags of the Covenanters to the Union Flag and Union Jack.

Later sections deal with flags in naval warfare, army colours, French and American flags. Six coloured plates and thirty-two woodcuts illustrate it, and the author points out heraldic errors in the national flag.
