Note 64 — Chapter II · HABITS WHEN WILD.
Reading edition
Randal Home’s Academy of Armory, A. D. 1671. Home only perpetuated the error of Guillim, who wrote his Display of Heraldry in A. D. 1610; wherein he explains that the elephant is “so proud of his strength that he never bows himself to any (neither indeed can he), and when he is once down he cannot rise up again.” (Sec. iii. ch. xii. p. 147.)
