History of the Union Jack and Flags of the Empire: Their Origin, Proportions and Meanings as Tracing the Constitutional, Development of the British Realm, and With References, to Other National Ensign - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Union Jack and Flags of the Empire: Their Origin, Proportions and Meanings as Tracing the Constitutional, Development of the British Realm, and With References, to Other National Ensigns
A search for further information, extended over many varied fields, gathered together facts that had previously been separated, and grouped them into consecutive order; thus the story grew, and having developed into a lecture, was afterwards, at the suggestion of others, launched upon its public way.
The chapters on the history of the Jacks in the Thirteen American Colonies and in the United States are also new ground and may be of novel interest to not a few. The added information on the proper proportions of our Union Jack, and the directions and reasons for the proper making of its parts, may serve to correct some of the unhappy errors which now exist and may interest all in the observation and study of flags.
