The mace was originally potent
weapon Of offense, originating doubt
less in that earliest and most common
weapon, the wooden club. 1t was an
essential part of knights accouter-

For ready convenience 1t was hung at
bis saddlebow. Says an ancient poem:
And with his heavy mase Of STEELE
Then he gave the kying his dele.
The besague and baston were varied
forms Of the mace. The mace used on
horseback was a small weapon, usual
" of steel. That used on foot was
much longer and commonly of wood,
with head armed with iron rings and
spikes. 1t was carried by the escort
of magistrates and others as ready
protection against violence. AS socie'

fell into allegiance the thing assumed
the ornamental appearance it now has
