This Order was instituted by King Edward iii., A.D. 1350. The Original statutes of the Order are lost. By a Statute passed 17th Jan., 1805, the Order was to consist of the Sovereign and twenty-five Knight's Companions, together with such lineal de- scendants of King George the First as may be elected, but exclusive of the Prince of Wales, who is a part of the original institu- tion. Foreign Sovereigns, and Princes and Extra Knights, have since been added by special statutes. The latter, however, _ be- come merged in the twenty-five Companions as vacancies occur. The Garter is of dark blue velvet, edged with gold, bearing the motto " Honi soit qui mal y pense " in letters of gold, with buckle and pendant of richly chased gold. It is worn on the left leg below the knee.
