'The main body of the book consists of descriptions of well over 1 100 coats of arms of South African families. In most cases there are biographical details of the first settler, year of arrival, ancestry, children, etc, with full documentation and exact reference to archival and printed sources.
The book is, therefore, also of great genealogical interest. More than 1000 arms are illustrated (shields or full armorial bearings) and there are also plates showing old hatchments, silver, glass, armorial porcelain and tombstones.'
