[Illustration: Baron and femme, two atchievements]

In the arms of the femme joined to the paternal coat of the baron, the
proper differences by which they were borne by the father of the lady
must be inserted.

If the arms of the baron has a bordure, that must be omitted on the
sinister side of the shield.

Archbishops and bishops impale the paternal arms with the arms of the
see over which they preside, placing the arms of the bishopric on the
dexter, and their paternal arms on the sinister side of the shield; a
bishop does not emblazon the arms of his wife on the same shield with
that which contains the arms of the see, but on a separate shield.

Arms of augmentation are marshalled according to the direction of the
College of Heralds: they are usually placed on a canton in the dexter
chief of the shield; in some cases they occupy the whole of the chief.
The mark of distinction denoting a baronet is usually placed on an
escutcheon, on the fess point of the shield.

The rules here laid down apply to funeral atchievements, banners, &c.
The only difference, as will be seen by the annexed examples, is, that
the ground of the hatchment is black, that surrounds the arms of the
deceased, whether baron or femme, and white round the arms of the
survivor.
