Description

Originally published in 1928, this small volume offers a summary look at three different items - the emblem, the arms and the motto - that have long been associated with the University of Cambridge. The book contains a variety of illustrative details showing the Cambridge emblem and its arms, and considers particularly their uses by the printers of the Cambridge University Press. This is followed by a brief discussion of the origins of the University motto, as well as an appendix showing two further details of both the emblem and the arms with the full motto.
