| From an earlier work, entitled "Theater of Honour and Knight-hood," folio, 1623, we learn that "merchants were not permitted to have shields, but might beare the first letters of their names and surnames enterlaced with a crosse; to have notes or markes of the profession or trades which they used, as--a shearman, his cloth sheares; a tailor, his sheares; a mason, his compass, or square, or his trowell; a cutler, a knife, and so on." These merchants' marks often consist of a cross with a down stroke to form a smaller cross of the limb on the dexter side, and another line from the top to the limb on the sinister side, which gives the appearance of the Arabic numeral four turned backwards; they generally have below this the Christian and surname in monogram, interlaced by some geometrical figure. |
