Lists of grants of arms before 1730 compiled by Joseph Foster (1844-1905), with additions by S. A. Grundy Newman, FSA Scot. Foster's lists (pp. 1-80) are arranged alphabetically under the respective Kings of Arms. The entries are crossed through in red and are probably early drafts of Foster's alphabetical lists in BL Add. MSS 37147, 37149, later published by W. Harry Rylands, FSA, in Grantees of Arms, Harl. Soc., 66-68 (1915-17). Additions (pp. 83-101) by S. A. Grundy Newman, letters A-C only, to Rylands, Grantees.
