Suggestions and Submissions
Up to 1892, suggestions were being made as to what the state's coat of arms was to constitute and the pictures below illustrate the four main depictions that were considered.
Below are the four proposed coat of arms submitted to the British College of Arms and from which the first edition of the coat of arms was taken.
These suggestions were accompanied by a letter by the Chief Secretary to the Government Office in London.

Famous quotes containing the words suggestions and and/or suggestions:
“It is worth the expense of youthful days and costly hours, if you learn only some words of an ancient language, which are raised out of the trivialness of the street, to be perpetual suggestions and provocations. It is not in vain that the farmer remembers and repeats the few Latin words which he has heard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To retire to the monastery, or the woods, or the sea, is to escape from the sharp suggestions that spur on ambition.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
