AUniaue Coat of Arms

There was one Philadelphia who not
only invented arms for himself, but
new and republican arms, after dis
carding the ancestral arms OF his fam
lily. This was Peter Brown, at one
time an eminent citizen OF Phlladel
phia. In 1904 william Priest, an Eng
llsh musician, became attached TO the
theater In Philadelphia In his pro
fessional capacity. In 1902 Mr.. Priest
printed In London book entitled
Priests Travels In the United
States" which Is now exceedingly
rare. The frontispiece to this book Is
a strange and curious design, entitled
Peter Browns Arms" In explana
ton Of this frontisplece Mr.. Priest
says: Peter Brown, blacksmith oi
this city, having made bis fortune
set up bis coach. but 30 far from be
ing ashamed Of the means by which
he acquired his riches he caused
large anvil to be painted on each side
of his carriage, with two pairs Of max
cd arms in the act OF striking. The
