,hutton have long been of invaluable service1 and occupy a position both at home and abroad of undisputed eminence4 ,a large number of articles has also been contributed to periodical literature by those well informed upon the subject1 and numerous monographs testify to the growth of interest in this fascinating study1 and by the names of their authors1 to the class of scholars and students of antiquarian lore who deem the humble book-plate worthy of their attention4 ,in view of what has been and of what will be written1 this present modest attempt to introduce more fully than has yet been done1 the book-plates of ,america1 needs to be understood as simply a pioneer work2 a great deal of information will reward the patient and painstaking investigator of the future1 which is now inaccessible1 and without doubt1 too1 much will be found even within the present to supplement these pages4 ,this book could not have been undertaken nor carried to completion had the writer been denied the generous assistance and hearty sympathy of our collectors1 to whom he desires to express his appreciation of the kindnesses shown him4 ,especially to ,mr4 ,r4 ,c4 ,lichtenstein1 ,mr4 ,e4

,illustration3 ,we cannot venture to guess which was the first book-plate made in ,america1 nor to say with absolute certainty whence came the first plate used in our country2 but undoubtedly the latter came over already pasted into some book of a ,dutch or ,english settler4 ,the larger part of our books came from ,england1 and very few plates are found with arms of other nationalities4 ,the colonists who came from ,england bringing books1 brought also the home ideas concerning books1 and the book-plate was a natural piece of property to acquire4 ,their descendants1 who continued the connection with the mother-country1 used plates more generally1 and the fashion spread naturally4 ,it never became very general1 but was confined to those of gentle birth2 the clergy1 the lawyers1 and men of education4 ,we shall see that it was not confined to the men alone1 but that the women of literary accomplishments also used plates4 ,illustration3 ,george ,lee ,turberville4 ,virginia4 ,by far the greater part of the plates are cut on copper1 but there are some woodcuts as will be seen in an examination of the list2 also1 there are some which look as if cut in silver1 which was an easier metal to work1 or perhaps in type-metal4 ,one example is known in which brass was used1 and this old plate is now in the possession of the writer4 ,the steel engravings are of rather recent date2 and while there are a number of these1 the new plates are mostly on copper4 ,the simple labels are printed from type4 ,the larger part of our early plates are armorial in character2 and while heraldry forms so prominent and important a feature1 it is left practically untouched in the present volume4 ,the number interested in the science is small1 the authorities on coats-of-arms and on blazoning differ1 and the present writer had not the time to make the thorough investigation necessary to a satisfactory treatment of this interesting branch4 ,upon consultation with other collectors1 and with their advice1 it was decided to leave this subject for a future volume should any call for it arise4 ,illustration3 ,timothy ,newell4 ,a decided difference is noticed between the book-plates of the ,northern and the ,southern ,colonies4 ,in the ,south1 to which came men of wealth and leisure with cultivated tastes1 we would expect to find the little superfluities and niceties of daily life sooner in vogue and more generally used4 ,bringing books and musical instruments with them1 retaining their connection with the far-away home by correspondence and visits1 sending their sons to the great ,universities to be educated1 and to the ,law ,schools for a finishing course1 and ordering their clothes1 books1 furniture1 and all of the luxuries of life from ,england1 they would naturally be the first to use the book-plate4 ,very few of the ,southern plates were engraved by ,american engravers4 ,they were nearly all done in ,london1 when some member of the family was over1 or by order from the ,colony2 for this reason the ,southern plates are better in heraldry1 design1 and execution than those of ,new ,england and ,new ,york4 ,they were the product of men experienced in such work2 they were all armorial and in the prevailing ,english mode4 ,the earliest comers to ,new ,england had a prejudice against coats-of-arms and trinkets of such-like character1 which their descendants1 however1 soon forgot4 ,pride of ancestry and love of the display of aristocratic claims developed when the hard circumstances of the former years had worn off1 and we find the prominent families of the ,north using book-plates1 and having their arms upon their coaches4 ,in one important feature1 however1 these ,northern plates differ from the ,southern1--they are mostly the work of our native engravers1 very few being done in ,england4 ,the work of these native artisans1 who were mostly self-taught in this art of engraving on copper1 is confessedly inferior to that of the ,london experts found upon the ,southern plates1 both in drawing and execution1 but their work is of more value to the collector from this very fact of their being ,american work4 ,they furnish examples of native skill1 both in engraving and in copper-plate printing4 ,the ornamentation of buttons1 spoons1 tableware1 and other articles of silver was already practised when the demand for the book-plate arose1 so that there were skilful men ready to turn their attention to this new branch of their art4 ,illustration3 ,,william ,,lord ,the ,war of the ,revolution naturally affected the native production of book-plates1 but a few years after its close1 when ,boston1 ,new ,york1 and ,philadelphia were active in publishing books1 the engraver found work more plenty1 and very many who were employed upon the plates for the illustration of books also produced book-plates4 ,nathaniel ,hurd was the principal engraver of book-plates in the ,north before the war1 though ,thomas ,johnson1 who was born before him and who also died before he did1 made some plates1 while ,turner and ,paul ,revere were also working at this period4 ,henry ,dawkins1 in ,philadelphia1 came over from ,england1 and so did the elder ,maverick1 who made so many plates for the ,new ,yorkers4 ,illustration3 ,george ,c4 ,m4 ,roberts1 ,m4,d4 ,the literary plates are smaller in number than we could wish1 and they do not show a wide range of ideas either4 ,very probably some of the designs were borrowed from ,english plates1 and were produced over again for different customers1 or were freely copied by other engravers who liked1 or who found customers who liked1 the design of others4 ,the plate used by ,george ,goodwin is one of four of this same design4 ,the shelf of books is also seen in the plate of ,g4 ,c4 ,m4 ,roberts1 ,m4,d41 ,thomas ,robbins1 and the ,illustration3 ,,moral ,,library ,,yale ,,college ,elijah ,f4 ,reed1 which is a direct reproduction of the ,robbins4 ,piles of books1 but not the regulation 8,book-pile10 are seen in the ,brown and ,lewis plates1 while the only real library interiors are the ,tayloe plate1 the ,moral ,library and the ,village ,library 7,farmington1 ,conn474 ,john ,allan1 the old-book lover of ,new ,york1 used a plate with an open book against an anchor1 and the plate of ,edmund ,penn shows a love for books in the dainty volumes disposed about the frame4 ,illustration3 ,elijah ,f4 ,reed's ,the patriotism of our book-lovers is shown in very many designs1 which use the ,american flag or the eagle4 ,the thirteen stars also1 the motto of the ,united ,states1 and various private mottoes of a very patriotic nature1 are frequently used4 ,it is noticeable that as compared with the ,southern plates there are but few of the ,northern examples which give the address or residence of the owner2 that is1 speaking of the armorial plates1 the printed name labels give these particulars quite often4 ,illustration3 ,jared ,ingersoll ,esqr4 of ,new ,haven ,connecticut4 ,the ,jared ,ingersoll plate gives ,new ,haven as the residence of the owner1 while ,rhode ,island follows the name on the plate of ,samuel ,elam4 ,other ,northern plates which are so engraved are the ,colonel ,eustace of ,new ,york1 ,comptroller ,elliston also of ,new ,york1 ,lenox of ,philadelphia1 ,atlee of ,lancaster1 ,john ,franklin1 ,boston1 ,new ,england1 and ,robert ,hale of ,beverly4 ,of the ,southern plates1 ,wormeley1 ,waller1 ,tuberville1 ,tazewell1 ,skelton1 ,randolph1 and ,ludwell ,illustration3 ,john ,walters ,gibbs4 give ,virginia as their residence2 ,drayton names ,south ,carolina1 the ,dr4 ,cabell plate names ,richmond1 and the ,john ,walters ,gibbs names ,charleston1 ,s4,c4 ,the plates used in the ,west ,indies also show the residence quite often4 ,there1 too1 as well as in the ,southern colonies1 the profession or position of the owner1 as well as the ,london law school in which he was educated1 are often given4 ,thus we have ,william ,blanc1 ,middle ,temple1 ,dominica2 ,chas4 ,pinfold1 ,,ll4,d41 ,governor of ,barbadoes2 ,peyton ,randolph of the ,middle ,temple1 ,london2 ,francis ,page of the ,inner ,temple ,esqr42 ,william ,assheton of ,gray's ,inn4 ,in the ,northern examples we find ,john ,gardiner of the ,inner ,temple1 and ,jonathan ,belcher1 ,e ,societate ,medij ,templi4 ,illustration3 ,,peter ,,middleton4 ,m4,d4 ,we note also in running through the ,list that the occupations most often noted on the book-plates are those of the medical and the legal profession4 ,barristers1 lawyers1 and attorneys are often so named1 and the initials ,m4,d41 or the full word ,doctor1 are seen4 ,the abbreviations of other degrees are found also1 and the plates of clergymen are not uncommon4 ,several plates remain unnoticed in the following pages1 which are probably ,american1 but which1 for lack of positive information1 it is thought best not to include4 ,among these is an early ,dutch plate which1 if it could be accurately traced to its original owner1 might prove to be one of the earliest plates used in ,america4 ,illustration3 ,harrison ,gray ,otis4 ,it seems that a word is needed in defence of the perfectly legitimate and gentle pursuit of collecting book-plates4 ,a great deal of sarcasm and indignation have found their way into the columns of periodical literature1 particularly in ,england1 the especial purpose of which is to trouble the humble collector1 and to discredit him in the eyes of the world4 ,he is pointed out as a destroyer of valuable books1 as an animal so greedy in the pursuit of his insignificant prey as to ruin elegant bindings that he may secure worthless bits of paper1 and as actually so devoid of good sense as to remove such of these as are interesting--for it is reluctantly admitted that some interest does attach to the plates used by certain men of fame in historical annals--from their rightful place within the covers of the very books read and handled by these illustrious owners4 ,illustration3 ,lieut4 ,e4 ,trenchard ,let it be remembered that but a small part of the many books published have a permanent value1 and that a book once eagerly sought may outlive its usefulness1 and come to have a commercial value of so much a pound as old paper1 instead of so much a copy in different styles of binding4 ,surely1 no one can quarrel with the collector who removes the book-plate1 found within it1 from such a worn-out specimen1 even if the removal necessitates the ruin of the cover4 ,but to remove a book-plate does not necessarily mean to ruin the cover2 it requires some skill and considerable patience to remove a valuable plate without injury to either itself or the cover upon which it was pasted1 but it is done daily4 ,surely no one can find fault with this--a skilful operation resulting satisfactorily to the plate-collector and to the book-owner4 ,illustration3 ,samuel ,elam4 ,again1 no intelligent book-plate collector will separate the plate of a famous man from the book which has been its home for years1 and which was once handled and read by its famous owner4 ,even a worthless book will thus be saved by the collector1 which was fit but for the fire or the ash-heap1 and which would have gone thither1 plate and all1 save for his discriminating eye1 while a valuable book no one would think of despoiling4 ,would an intelligent collector1 having a book from the library of ,george ,washington1 with his plate upon the cover and his autograph in its accustomed place1 think of soaking off the plate and cutting out the signature8 ,not at all2 no matter how worthless the book might chance to be1 the fact that it was ,washington's is sufficient to insure it from any harm1 while the presence of the autograph and the book-plate but adds to the value as establishing beyond peradventure the original ownership4 ,the book-plate collector is naturally a book-lover4 ,he must not be accused or suspected of crimes against his own kith and kin4 ,he is a harmless and useful specimen of the genus collector1 who with assiduity1 perseverance1 and intelligence seeks to preserve these memorials of past days1 which in the rage for indiscriminate collecting were overlooked1 and are but now beginning to receive the attention they are worthy of4 ,it is1 however1 to be admitted that at first glance1 the general reader who has not developed a special liking for the things of the past in history1 art1 or biography1 may see no especial interest in book-plates4 ,but let him examine a collection of good plates with their intelligent owner1 who can point out to him the facts worthy of note2 let him once understand that celebrated artists like ,albrecht ,durer1 ,jost ,amman1 ,william ,hogarth1 ,william ,marshall1 ,george ,vertue1 ,bewick1 ,bartolozzi1 and even ,raphael ,morghen were willing to devote time and taste to the designing or engraving of the book-plate2 let him handle some of their work1 and reflect upon the effort the master considered so small a design worthy of2 let him see the plates of some of the noted names in history1 art1 letters1 medicine1 the sciences1 and the professions2 let him take in his hands the plates of ,william ,penn1 the friend of the ,indian and benefactor of his race1 of ,laurence ,sterne1 of ,david ,garrick1 of ,horace ,walpole1 of ,samuel ,rogers1 of ,charles ,dickens1 or of ,george ,washington1 of ,john ,adams1 and ,charles ,carroll1 signers of the ,declaration2 let him see a plate engraved by ,paul ,revere whose services in the ,revolution he has known of from his schooldays2--let him see these and scores more of similar interest1 and he cannot fail to respond to the enthusiasm of their owner4 ,but indeed it is a pursuit1 the delights of which are discernible to those only who bring to it the capacity for such pleasures4 ,illustration3 ,john ,adams4 ,,name-,,labels ,,and ,,mottoes4 ,illustration3 ,of all forms of book-plates the simplest possible is the printed name of the owner1 unaccompanied by either motto1 device1 or ornamentation of any kind4 ,such a plate had ,philip ,hone1 one of the founders of the ,mercantile ,library1 and in the early twenties a mayor of the city of ,new ,york4 ,his plate is merely a bit of paper with his name in bold script printed upon it from an engraved copper-plate4 ,this style of plate is not chronologically the earliest1 but is taken as our starting-point because of its unrelieved simplicity2 this fulfils the mission of the book-plate1--it proclaims the ownership of the book in which it is seen2 not in delicate language1 to be sure1 not with any invitation to dip into the volume in hand1 not with any evidence of the owner's taste in reading1 but with a directness not to be misunderstood4 ,the essential part of the book-plate is the name of the owner2 and while this is sufficient of itself1 it is found profitable and pleasant to accompany it with an apt quotation from a favorite author1 with a caution against the improper ,illustration3 ,james ,eddy ,mauran4 handling of books1 with a warning of the sad result of declining ,wisdom's guidance1 or with an invitation to enjoy the beauties of literature and to share the benefits of careful reading4 ,in addition to these mere typographical adjuncts an opportunity is offered for the display of those more decorative garnishments which have led to the development of the handsomer styles of plates4 ,illustration3 ,hannah ,reynolds4 ,alexander ,stedman's3 ,thomas ,thaxter's1 #agia3 ,william ,w4 ,potter's ,book3 ,aaron ,woolworth's1 ,ex ,dono ,rev4 ,s4 ,buell1 ,d4,d4

of ornamental type1--scrolls1 flourishes1 stars1 vines1 and even grammatical signs1--are usually found to be printed on good white handmade paper1 which was seldom trimmed with care2 occasionally a tinted paper is found1--yellow more often than any other1 but sometimes a blue or green2 these served the less pretentious of our ancestors in lieu of the coats-of-arms and family mottoes of those of higher lineage1 and are found in quantities throughout the ,new ,england and ,middle ,states3 even farther south they are not uncommon1 but are not so numerous4 ,illustration3 ,,john ,,campbell1 ,charles ,county4 ,in making up these ornamental borders the type was usually set in the form of a parallelogram1 occasionally in a square1 oval1 circle1 or diamond1 and seldom in fanciful shapes4 ,the most ambitious plate of this kind which has come under my observation is that which once graced the books of ,mary ,mc,ginley2 this is a rather large plate1 and the type is set in the form of an urn1 within the lines of which are given the motto and the owner's name4 ,a step in advance of these wholly typographical examples are those which employ a woodcut border to surround the name1 and instances can be given of such a border enclosing the name printed from type2 festoons of flowers or of cord1 and draperies of cloth1 were also used as a simple setting for the owner's name4 ,in this connection mention may be made of the work of ,t4 ,sparrow1 an obscure engraver of ,maryland2 no heraldic or pictorial examples of his workmanship have been identified1 and he probably confined himself to the simple woodcut designs of which but a small number are known4 ,always using a border of floriated scrolls1 he never omitted an original contrivance which is the characteristic mark of his work1--a group of thirteen stars surrounded often by a wreath4 ,this is always found in a prominent place1 and is an indication of his patriotism as well as that of the owner of the plate4 ,illustration3 ,,richard ,,sprigg1 jun4 ,it must not be supposed that the heraldic book-plate was an outgrowth or development of the name-label3 not at all2 they were contemporaneous and were both used in ,england long before they were here4 ,coming now to the subject of mottoes1 we find a wide field to travel over1 many languages to read1 many quotations to recognize1 with hints and warnings1 and even threatenings1 by the score1 from jealous book-lovers4 ,mottoes readily fall into two classes3 those which are chosen by the owner for some personal reason1 and those which are family mottoes1 and which are used without thought because they are a family inheritance1 or with a commendable pride in such legacies from an honorable ancestry4 ,latin is the language most often used probably1 though ,english is a strong rival1 while ,german1 ,french1 ,greek1 and even ,hebrew and ,welsh are also found upon our book-plates4 ,sentiments opposing the habit of book-borrowing are of frequent

,penington4 ,illustration3 ,eugene ,field4 ,,armorial ,,book-,,plates4 ,illustration3 ,book-plates admit of many kinds of extraneous ornamentation1 and wholly apart from the special function of recording the ownership of books1 they serve as expressions of artistic taste2 they lend themselves readily to many forms of design1 and have passed through several changes or 8styles0 in the three hundred years of their existence2 they can be dignified or flippant1 serious or punning1 of artistic beauty or positive deformity2 they can express the owner's choice of reading and can preserve lines from his favorite authors2 can convey warning or invitation1 and can1 in short1 be made a very personal affair4 ,the first book-plates were heraldic4 ,in those early and1 in some senses1 good old days1 before the schoolmaster was abroad in the land1 when learning was the possession of the aristocrats and the churchmen only1 and consequently when handwriting was not in use among the people1 families were distinguished by emblems which were known of all4 ,these heraldic devices were painted on their shields1 carved upon their walls1 engraved upon their breast-plates1 woven upon their banners and their tapestries1 displayed upon their own persons1 upon those of their dependents1 and even upon their animals and the furniture and books of their homes2 even the purely ornamental and ephemeral luxuries came to be adorned with the family coat-of-arms4 ,illustration3 ,gabriel ,jones1 ,attorney at ,law1 in ,virginia4 ,the armorial bearings1 stamped upon the back or sides of a book1 or printed upon paper and pasted within the cover1 were sufficient1 without a name1 to identify the family to which it belonged4 ,libraries descended from father to son1 and were kept intact for generations2 and the family arms and motto were the most appropriate label possible4 ,warren1 one of the first to study book-plates and to give to others the benefit of his researches1 has divided the armorial plates into general classes1 and has given them suitable names1 which are accepted the world over4 ,a considerable number of subdivisions has been made2 and while they may be serviceable where book-plates are plentiful1 they are but an incumbrance to the collector of the early plates of ,america1 for our examples are few in number1 and are quite sufficiently distinguished--for the purpose of the present work1 at least--by the following styles3 ,early ,english1 ,jacobean1 ,chippendale1 ,ribbon1 and ,wreath4 ,distinctive1 easily remembered characteristics pertain to each of these1 and fairly accurate dates of their adoption and continuance can be given4 ,adopting then the nomenclature of ,warren1 and following his lead1 we come now to consider the meaning of the different styles and the diversity of their designs4 ,the very earliest class is the ,early ,english1 in which the shield of arms is present with all its accessories4 ,in these plates the mantling is very profuse1 and in large full-rounded curves surrounds three1 and often all four1 sides of the shield4 ,this is the only ornamentation1 nothing incidental being added as yet2 the name of the owner is usually or often accompanied by a title and address1 and quite frequently also by the date4 ,illustration3 ,joseph ,dudley #aged ,we have but few examples of this style2 perhaps the most satisfactory as an example of the class will be the plate of ,joseph ,dudley1 dated #aged4 7,this plate was really engraved much earlier than this4 ,hurd erased the original name1 and cut the present one with the date in its place47 ,in this the mantling1 running out beyond the edges of the shield1 curls both upward and downward1 and completely envelops three sides2 the design takes on a strong resemblance to oak leaves1 and a single leaf of this is engraved upon the helmet3 the background1 or space enclosed within the scroll-work1 is filled in with perpendicular lines which might be taken for the tincture gules2 in the name-bracket1 the oak-leaf pattern is again made use of1 forming a neat finish to the ends4 ,illustration3 ,jer4 ,dummer ,anglus ,americanus ,in the plate of ,the ,honourable ,wm4 ,carmichael1 ,esqr41 the mantling is not so completely transformed into the oak-leaf design1 although the latter is here apparent4 ,the plate of ,jer4 ,dummer1 ,anglus ,americanus is peculiar in that the space enclosed by the scroll-work is lined with the solid brick wall of the later ,jacobean style2 in this the ,illustration3 ,minot mantling is less striking than in the ,dudley1 but it surrounds the shield well1 and curves upward about the crest4 ,in the ,minot plate1 which is very peculiar and rather difficult to classify1 the mantling is very unworthy of the name2 it does not proceed from the helmet1 nor indeed from anywhere in particular1 but in wild and very eccentric fashion1 envelops the crest and most of the shield2 the field of the shield is tinctured azure1 and it is enclosed within a border or moulding which nearly surrounds it1 but leaves a portion at the base unprotected2 a further peculiarity of this moulding is that it is an integral part of the helmet1 for it curves over at the top of the shield and actually proceeds from the helmet4 ,a very fine example of this style is the ,francis ,page plate4 ,the next style is the ,jacobean1 commonly spoken of as existing from about #agjj to about #agde2 the styles overlap naturally1 and no hard-and-fast period can be established within which only one particular style of plate was used4 ,examples of the ,jacobean plate are found in ,england which would date later than #agde1 and the style which succeeded this was used somewhat before the year which begins its accepted period3 the dates of the periods1 then1 are approximate4 ,the names by which the different styles are known have all a good reason for their acceptance1 although each one was suggested by differing circumstances4 ,the style of book-plate in vogue at the time of the last ,james is designated as ,jacobean2 and1 while it continued in use long after the death of the deposed monarch who gave it its name1 any change in its designation would be misleading4 ,the principal features of this style are its heavy1 carved appearance1 the evenly balanced proportions1 and the exact coincidence of the two sides of the design4 ,the shield1 always of regular outline1 is usually placed upon an ornamental frame whose background1 or lining1 is either filled in ,illustration3 ,,frederik,,philipse ,,esqr4 with a fish-scale pattern1 diapered into the lozenge form or built up solidly with a wall of brick4 ,this lining shows at both sides of the shield1 below1 and1 less often1 above it2 its sides are convoluted2 they run out in foldings and scrolls resembling the carving on wood1 and are often worked into elaborate patterns3 sometimes1 too1 the design is surrounded by a carved moulding which makes a heavy frame of rectangular form and massive appearance4 ,this style of plate1 well-handled1 is exceedingly handsome1 and is capable of more repose and dignity than any other4 ,very forbidding indeed1 and over-solemn1 are some examples1 but in the main the purely ,jacobean plates are very pleasing4 ,among the accessories usually found are a scallop-shell with the concave side turned towards the observer1 and placed either below the shield to support it1 or above it to set it off3 this shell is always looked for in the ,jacobean plates1 and indeed a shelly motive is apparent throughout very many examples4 ,the helmet and mantling are conspicuous1 especially the latter1 as it is often enlarged and emphasized by being drawn into the general scheme of decoration2 very full1 reaching far down the sides of the shield-frame1 and indeed often curiously woven into the convolutions of the frame itself1 it at times loses its significance3 grotesque faces sometimes peer from the ornamentation1 and heads of satyrs and demons are frequently used to rest the base of the shield upon4 ,in some instances the name is placed upon a bracket similar to the upper part of the plate in decoration1 or1 again1 it may be seen upon a small curtain or lambrequin caught up at the ends with string4 ,very often1 too1 no setting is provided for the name1 and it is simply engraved beneath the design4 ,eagles1 lions1 termini1 cherubs1 and sometimes cornucopi of fruit or flowers1 angels blowing upon trumpets1 and stiff stalks of flowers are introduced into the ornamentation4 ,but these do not succeed in enlivening the style of the plate materially1 for it is essentially heavy1 conservative1 and formal in design and spirit4 ,no graceful airiness rests upon it1 and it provokes no joyous sentiment1 but rather rouses respect and enforces stateliness4 ,the general appearance of the ,jacobean plate is as if carved from wood4 ,we do not expect old carving to be anything but solid and immobile1 and these characteristics are present in this style of book-plate4 ,indeed1 ,warren1 in his chapter on the ,jacobean style1 says that no antiquary can fail to note the strong similarity of treatment and design between the wood-carving preserved in the churches of the time of ,charles the ,second and the mouldings on the monuments of the same period1 and the book-plates of the style we have considered4 ,our finest example of the ,jacobean book-plate is found in the work of ,thomas ,johnston1 who made the plate of ,william ,p4 ,smith1 ,a4,m4 ,this is a typical example of the later ,jacobean style1 and is worthy of particular study4 ,the ,elizabethan shield is set against a frame which is very elaborately carved and ornamented2 the lining is covered with the fish-scale pattern1 and this extends also to the arms and convolutions upon the sides4 ,at the base of the shield the scallop-shell is in position as prescribed1 and is surrounded by a little frame of its own2 the mantling is very slight indeed1 breaking out from the wreath and also from the lower part of the helmet1 in short and simple spirals4 ,the motto is found on a ribbon which is gracefully strung upon the scrolls at the bottom of the design4 ,in the ,spooner plate1 by ,hurd1 the shield1 also of ,elizabethan pattern1 is set against a diapered background2 beneath the shield1 within a little frame1 the head of a sphinx is seen2 term-figures are placed in the scroll-work at either side1 and from their hands depend bouquets of flowers2 ,illustration3 ,william ,p ,smith ,,am the crest is overarched with a bit of old scallop-shell1 and the motto is given on a plain ribbon which1 wholly unsupported1 maintains a curved position under the whole design4 ,in the ,andrew ,tyler plate1 also by ,hurd1 a grotesque face supports the shield1 the lining is elaborately diapered1 and a festoon of cloth depends from the lower scrolls of the frame4 ,in the small-sized plate of ,john ,allen1 the lining is embellished with the simple lattice-work1 in two patterns4 ,illustration3 ,,andrew ,,tyler ,illustration3 ,jacob ,sargeant4 ,illustration3 ,john ,durand ,esq4 ,closely succeeding the ,jacobean1 and indeed coming into use before the latter was wholly discarded1 the ,chippendale style of book-plate may be regarded as in a way an evolution from the ,jacobean4 ,if the parent was dignified and conservative1 the offspring was dainty and progressive2 the ,jacobean style maintained its dignity and decorous nicety to the end1 but the ,chippendale1 which started in with a taking air of modest and light gracefulness1 in strong and pleasing contrast to the solidity of its predecessor1 rapidly assumed a most elaborate and ornate manner1 and finally sank into a wild1 riotous1 and well-nigh sensuous profusion of decorative expression1 which being too heavy for it to sustain1 bore it down to its end4 ,the character of the ,chippendale plate1 while attractive and beautiful in its pure form1 had essential elements of weakness1 which1 hardly able to resist development1 were certain to cause its downfall4 ,illustration3 ,anthony ,stewart ,annapolis ,maryland ,illustration3 ,myles ,cooper ,,ll,d ,as is natural to suppose1 the name was bestowed upon this style because of its assimilation of the ornate and flowery spirit which the famous ,t4 ,chippendale at this period introduced into wood-carving and upholstery4 ,as compared with its immediate predecessor1 the differences in this style of plate are seen to be principally the liberating of the decorative features from the stiffness which thralled them in the ,jacobean4 ,not now resembling ponderous carvings in oak and mahogany1 but rising free and unrestrained1 the rose branches and sprigs seem to be copied from ,nature herself2 not arranged with careful nicety and labored uniformity as formerly1 but springing from any convenient niche1 they add grace and delicacy to the whole design4 ,the helmet is seldom ,illustration3 ,andrew ,oliver seen in this style of plate1 the mantling is consequently absent1 and the bracket supporting the shield of arms undergoes a transformation2 the convolutions and scrolls on the sides become finer1 freer1 and less imposing2 the shield is never found of any set rectangular pattern1 but often is pear-shaped1 shell-like in form1 or indeed not unlike the oyster or the human ear in general outline2 the scallop shell which formerly served as a base for the shield to rest on1 is now broken into dainty fragments with the pectinated edges disposed about the shield itself2 the name-frame is no longer a cloth curtain1 but is a scroll with indented edges and curling outlines4 ,illustration3 ,benj ,kissam ,in its highest development the ,chippendale plate is a beautiful piece of work2 the richness of its curves1 its plentitude of graceful scrolls1 its profusion of roses in garlands or on the stem1 and the elaborate detail noticeable in all its parts1 combine to make a plate of delightful airiness and dainty nicety2 but in the hands of weak designers1 as pointed out by ,warren1 its possibilities of over-ornamentation were seized upon1 and we find the most unexpected and incongruous assortment of figures from life1 architectural fragments1 allegorical subjects and other features not to be included in any particular class1 occupying convenient places about the escutcheon2 we find sleek shepherds clad in the fashionable clothes of the day1--knee-breeches1 ruffled shirt with ,byron collar1 large felt hats1 and buckled shoes2 we see would-be shepherdesses in big hooped-skirts1 very low-necked bodices and slight waists1 wearing frizzly hair and ,gainsborough hats1 and carrying dainty crooks2 scantily draped figures recline under the trees1 while attendant cupids make music or hasten up with books4 ,turning from these pastoral scenes1 we come across plates which have a most frightful dragon with scaly body1 forked tail1 and fiery1 bulging eyes1 who spits fire as he crouches among the roses2 in others we find cornices1 columns1 arches1 and urns2 fountains1 hand-glasses1 ships1 nautical instruments1 lambs1 dogs1--in short1 it is useless to name the great number of irrelevant articles which were made use of4 ,the plate was made to carry any amount of heterogeneous ornamentation which the designer fancied2 it seems in some cases as if the details were employed with rightful reference to the tastes or pursuits of the owner1 but in the greater number the fancy was allowed free play4 ,hurd's work furnishes us with the best examples ,illustration3 ,peter ,manigault of the ,inner ,temple1 ,barister at ,law ,south ,carolina4 ,illustration3 ,samuel ,vaughan ,esq4r of the pure ,chippendale style2 the ,chandler plate1 the ,wentworth1 and the ,dumeresque are good examples2 ,dawkins gives us the later and debased ,chippendale with all its profusion of extrinsic ornamentation4 ,the ,samuel ,vaughan plate is a very fine example of good ,chippendaleism1 and may be taken as a standard by which to recognize the features of this style4 ,the ,robt4 ,dinwiddie plate is a fine example of this style1 though the heraldry may be questioned3 this1 according to ,hardy1 is of ,scotch make4 ,illustration3 ,w4 ,jackson ,in the ,ribbon and ,wreath style1 which came into vogue in ,england about #aggj1 and in the ,united ,states not much before #agij1 we note a return to simplicity4 ,the later ,chippendale plates1 with their over-burdened frames1 now yield to this quiet style1 which is unassuming and very pleasing4 ,in this the shield is usually ,illustration3 ,,john ,,williams ,,esq4,r ,illustration3 ,john ,williams ,illustration3 ,de,witt ,clinton4 heart-shaped1 is not set against a background1 and has absolutely no carved work about it2 the shield is often unsupported1 but is sometimes hung by ribbons or festoons from wall-pins above2 the decoration1 as the name suggests1 consists principally of ribbons1 and wreathing in various forms4 ,at the present day we use in our wall-paper1 upholstery1 and wood-carving on furniture and mantels1 and even on outside cornices1 a certain form of garland or festoon tied with ribbon which we call 8,colonial02 in a general way this resembles the decoration features of the ,ribbon and ,wreath book-plate4 ,from wall-pins with fancy oval or round heads1 festoons of flowers depend above the shield2 branches of holly and palm1 often tied with a ribbon whose fluttering ends bear a motto or the name1 are crossed beneath the shield1 and their graceful sprays extend up either side4 ,some of the festoons are rich with blossoms1 others1 more slender1 are of leaves only1 while a few are made of cloth2 the full garlands are usually hung from above the shield1 while the thinner style is draped in any place and manner acceptable to the designer1 and with more or less of gracefulness1 as his skill permitted4 ,this style of plate calls for nothing more than its legitimate features to render it effective and satisfactory1 and in general the plates are in the pure style2 but in some of the ,new ,york plates1 there are books1 writing materials1 and bits of landscape introduced under the shield4 ,the ,thomas ,johnston plate by ,maverick is a fine example of this style4 ,maverick was the most prolific worker in the ,ribbon and ,wreath1 while ,callender and ,rollinson also used it very largely4 ,the ,prosper ,wetmore plate by ,maverick1 the ,john ,sullivan by ,callender1 and the ,horatio ,shepherd ,moat by ,rollinson1 are all excellent examples4 ,illustration3 ,richard ,wynkoop ,,pictorial ,,and ,,allegorical ,,book-,,plates1 ,,and ,,plates ,,of ,,colleges1 ,,libraries1 ,,and ,,societies4 ,illustration3 ,designs which are wholly pictorial or which are meant to convey meaning by their symbolism are not very numerous with us4 ,this style of design is no better suited to the plates of public libraries1 schools1 and societies1 than to those of individuals1 but nearly all of our early examples of this style are found to belong to the former class4 ,one of the early personal plates of this kind is that of ,james ,parker1 who was a collector of curios1 medals1 and books4 ,he was a conductor on the old ,western ,railroad1 and ran the first train between ,worcester and ,springfield4 ,this plate is fully described in the ,list4 ,of an entirely different style is the plate engraved by ,harris for ,henry ,andrews4 ,this is pictorial1 introducing classical features1 but hardly rising to the height of allegory4 ,the plate of ,bloomfield ,mc,ilvaine is also pictorial1 and probably allegorical1 as the figure seems to represent ,history4 ,in the ,samuel ,parker plate we have ,illustration3 ,no4 #afa1 ,sam ,parker allegory with a label to identify it2 for the bank on which the muse of ,history reclines is labelled ,clio4 ,a very peculiar pictorial plate is that of ,edward ,pennington1 which seems to represent an overflowing reservoir4 ,illustration3 ,,henry ,,andrews ,the plates of ,mc,murtrie1 ,kip1 ,mann1 ,russell1 ,swett and ,hooper are good examples of the class4 ,examples could be given at greater length1 but as all are carefully described in the ,list1 the reader is referred to it4 ,the most interesting of the old society and ,illustration3 ,,new,,york ,society ,,library4 ,illustration3 ,,new-,,york ,,society ,,library4 #aghi library plates are the three of the ,new ,york ,society ,library1 the two of the libraries in ,farmington1 ,conn41 and that of the ,society for ,propagating the ,gospel in ,foreign ,parts4 ,in the plates of the ,society ,library allegory is rampant4 ,minerva appears in all of them1 and in the two by ,maverick is the principal figure4 ,in both of these she appears to an ,american ,indian1 whose attitude shows his deep appreciation of the benefits of education as offered by the resplendent goddess4 ,in one case she is represented as having just arrived from ,olympus1 and is still encircled by clouds2 in the other1 she seems quite at home in the alcove of the library1 and has taken a suitable volume from the shelf for the use of the savage4 ,in the plate by ,gallaudet for this library the allegory is extended1 and other prominent inhabitants of the abode of the celestials are present4 ,the arts and sciences which the books of the library treat of are represented by implements and symbols easily recognized4 ,the plate of the ,monthly ,library in ,farmington also uses allegory4 ,the designer and engraver of this plate was ,martin ,bull1 an old deacon in the village1 who was quite an interesting man4 ,he was a goldsmith1 a maker of silver buttons1 and spoons2 a manufacturer of saltpetre when needed by the army1 a conductor of church music1 town treasurer for eight years1 clerk of probate for thirty-nine years1 a strong patriot1 and a writer of long and appallingly solemn letters to the youth of the village when ,illustration3 ,monthly ,library ,,in ,,farmington at college4 ,the library was founded in #agie1--;about as soon as our soldier-citizens could settle down into reading stay-at-homes1--and was conducted upon the plan of monthly exchanges4 ,on the first ,sabbath of the month all members would assemble in the evening and pass in their books and receive others1 the choice being auctioned off4 ,two dollars and a half a month was thus realized1 and the meeting was the event of the month to the sturdy inhabitants of the quiet town1 to say nothing of the younger folk1 to whom it must have afforded coveted opportunities for pleasant meetings1 and quiet walks along the lanes4 ,on the first day of the new century1 ,january1 #ahja1 the library changed its name to that which appears upon the book-plate1 and on which the good deacon exhibited a specimen of his highest art4 ,previously to this date it had gone under the name of 8,the ,library in the ,first ,society in ,farmington10 and its first book-plate1 probably engraved by the good deacon1 had the simple name with no pictorial accessories4 ,contemporaneously with this1 another library called the ,village ,library1 was in operation1 and continued until #ahbf1 when it was merged with a third4 ,this library also had a book-plate1 but it was undoubtedly beyond the powers of the engraver of its forerunners4 ,in this we see the interior of a room1 in which a young lady patron of the library is storing her mind with those choice axioms which1 if put in practice1 far exceed the attractiveness of mere personal beauty2 so says the couplet beneath the picture4 ,illustration3 ,,village ,,library4 ,beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll3 ,charms strike the sense1 but merit wins the soul4 ,the plate of the ,society for ,propagating the ,gospel in ,foreign ,parts is also pictorial1 and represents a ship of the ,society1 with its missionary1 approaching the shore of savage ,america3 this plate is dated #agjd1 and is very curious and interesting4 ,the society grew from the efforts of one ,rev4 ,thomas ,bray1 who established thirty-nine parochial libraries in the ,american ,colonies for the purpose of propagating the doctrines ,illustration3 ,the ,gift of the ,society for propagating the ,gospell in ,foreign parts1 #aghd of the ,church4 ,in #afih1 ,king's ,chapel1 ,boston1 received some two hundred books from this society1 which were described as 8an arsenal of sound theological1 ecclesiastical1 and political doctrines for the ,ministers of ,his ,majesty's ,chapel40 ,for the prevention of loss or embezzlement1 and that they might be known wherever ,illustration3 ,,social ,,law ,,library ,boston4 found1 8in every book1 on the inside cover shall be these words1 #8,sub auspiciis ,wilhelmi ,,iii1' and also the ,library to which they belong1 thus #8,e ,bibliotheca ,bostoniana4'0 ,this must have been in addition to the plate we are considering1 as no words descriptive of particular ownership are given3 possibly this plate was used in all the books belonging to the society1 and the supplementary one was for use in each individual library4 99 99 99 99 99 ,college plates are as a general thing very plain1 but the plates used by the societies supported by the students and the alumni1 are often very elaborate4 ,the early societies in ,harvard and in ,yale had curious and very interesting examples of the allegorical and symbolic plate4 ,the ,hasty ,pudding ,society and the ,porcellian ,club of ,harvard ,college1 the ,linonian ,society and the ,brothers in ,unity of ,yale ,college1 are examples4 ,in ,dartmouth ,college1 the ,social ,friends ,society1 and in the smaller colleges numerous other fraternities and societies1 used plates of simpler style4 ,the books of the ,library of ,harvard ,college were marked with plates by ,hurd and ,bowen1 as noted in the list2 on these plates1 the gifts of various benefactors are recorded1 with the class to which they belonged1 conditions regarding the gift of the books1 or a statement of the fund from whose income the money for the books is derived4 ,the plate of the ,library of ,congress is an engraved label having the name and spaces for ,illustration ,illustration3 ,,linonian ,,library ,,yale ,,college entries surrounded by a border of oak leaves and acorns3 the design is very neat1 and is old in appearance4 ,a very beautiful plate is used by some ,orphan ,asylum1 which does not give its full name upon its plate4 ,in this a beautiful picture of the ,christ blessing the little ones is given2 the line 8,forasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these1 ye did it unto ,me10 is given under the vignette4 ,illustration3 ,linonian ,library ,in the plate of the ,library of the ,new ,york ,state ,agricultural ,society1 which was incorporated in #ahcb1 ,ceres is seen in the field2 behind her the sheaves of wheat extend in rows2 one arm clasps a cornucopia1 and with the hand of the other she extends a wreath4 ,in a great many instances the plates of libraries had no pictorial features1 or indeed anything at all ornamental1 being but the printed rules governing the users of the books4 ,two examples of this kind of plate are given below4 ,this ,,volume belongs to ,,prichard',s ,circulating ,library1 ,containing nearly ,two ,thousand ,volumes1 ,in ,market ,street1 ,baltimore1 where ,,ladies ,,or

fourth week when the rate was doubled4 ,for a ,duodecimo one sixteenth of a dollar per week until the end of the second week4 ,constant attendance at the ,library from ,sunrise till #h o'clock in the evening4 ,in mentioning a few examples of the plates recently made for societies and libraries1 no attempt is made to furnish a complete list1 nor even to mention all the attractive plates1 but to speak of a few which seem of especial interest4 ,illustration3 ,,harvard ,,university ,,arnold-,,arboretum #ahib ,a pleasing architectural plate is used in ,columbia ,college ,library to mark the books of the ,avery ,architectural ,library4 ,this was designed by ,russell ,sturgis1 and is in the form of a memorial window or mortuary mural tablet4 ,the central panel bears the inscription1 and the date ,,mdcccxc is given below4 ,the plate of the ,arnold ,arboretum1 designed by ,george ,wharton ,edwards1 is very attractive2 the just-rising sun shines upon a white pine which stands within an elliptical frame2 the names of the ,institution and of the ,university appear upon ribbons which float from the pine4 ,the plate is dated #ahib1 and is signed1 ,g4 ,w4 ,e4 ,the same artist designed the first book-plate of the ,grolier ,club of ,new ,york ,city4 ,in this1 ,atlas is seen supporting the arms of the club within a circular frame which bears the name1 and the date of the founding of the club1 #ahhd2 rich foliations with a pounced background surround this central design4 ,the plate is signed ,g4 ,w4 ,e4 ,the ,public ,library of the old whaling town of ,new ,london has a plate which is wholly nautical in construction2 the name is given on a wheel which is held by a seaman1 while the captain stands by in pea-jacket and rough-weather helmet1 giving orders2 the sail1 which rises behind them1 affords space for the number of the book2 below the deck on which the mariners stand1 are seen harpoons and spears of various sizes and kinds2 two dolphins are disporting in the waves4 ,this plate is signed by the name of the artist in full4 ,it is by ,mr4 ,edwards4 ,the ,sutro ,library of ,san ,francisco uses a plate which gives a large and interesting picture of the natural resources of the locality1 and the enterprises carried on in its vicinity2 the motto1 ,labor omnia vincit1 appears on the ribbon which floats in the air4 ,illustration3 ,,new-,,york ,,society ,,library ,the ,watkinson ,library of ,hartford uses one of the very few portrait plates in the country2 just why this style of plate should not be common is not easy to understand4 ,they are used in ,boston and ,worcester1 as mentioned below1 but these instances are all that occur in public libraries4 ,in this plate the portrait of ,david ,watkinson1 the founder of the library1 is enclosed within an oval frame which bears the name and the date of incorporation1 #aheh4 ,the plate is signed by the ,american ,bank ,note ,company1 ,new ,york1 and is an excellent piece of steel engraving4 ,almost all of the historical societies use plates in which the arms of the state or city in which they are located1 are used4 ,the ,pennsylvania1 ,connecticut1 and ,maine ,historical ,societies have plates of this kind4 ,in the last-named plate an inescutcheon bears four important dates in the history of the state of ,maine4 #afje1 ,first voyage along the ,coast by ,waymouth4 #afdi1 ,election of ,godfrey as ,governor4 #afgh1 ,usurpation of ,maine by ,massachusetts4 #ahbj1 ,separation from ,massachusetts4 ,the ,rowfant ,club of ,cleveland uses a small plate representing the corner of a library2 the open window admits the fading light of the sun1 which is sinking into the sea2 the lattice swings idly1 and the pile of books on the table proclaim a busy day4 ,a very striking plate is used by the ,university ,club of ,washington4 ,a wall of rough-faced stone is pierced by a small quatrefoil window in which ,illustration3 ,phnix ,society a book is laid2 the date #ahia is stamped upon the side of the book4 ,below this1 ,ionic columns support the wall2 between them1 in a smooth space1 is carved the name and city of the club4 ,the plate is signed ,hy4 ,sandham4 ,illustration3 ,s4 ,hopkins ,in the ,boston ,public ,library a large number of different plates is used for the volumes coming from different legacies or funds1 and in very many cases these plates give a portrait of the donor4 ,thus we find these portraits on the plate used in the books from the ,ticknor ,fund1 the ,phillips ,fund1 and the ,franklin ,club ,fund4 ,the books remaining from the library of ,thomas ,prince are also marked with a plate which gives his portrait and a picture of the old meeting-house1 in which he preached1 and in which the books were stored at one time4 ,portraits also appear upon the book-plates of the ,american ,antiquarian ,society1 which gives that of ,ginery ,twichell2 and the ,massachusetts ,historical ,society1 which has a plate giving a portrait of ,james ,savage4 ,the public libraries of to-day do not usually use elaborate plates in their book-covers2 simple labels1 with perhaps a city or corporation seal1 are the common kind4 ,illustration3 ,sam4 ,hill ,illustration3 ,,george,,alexander,,macbeth ,,pittsburgh,,pa ,,book-,,plates ,,of ,,special ,,interest4 ,illustration3 ,several reasons can be given for the fact that collectors regard some book-plates as of more value than others4 ,with book-plates1 as in other lines of collecting1 rarity is a desirable feature1 and is a prominent element in deciding values4 ,all of our early ,american plates can fairly be called scarce when compared with the foreign examples of the same period1 for they outnumber ours1 fifty to one2 but many among ours are rarer than others4 ,the ,john ,franklin1 brother of ,benjamin1 signed by ,turner1 is an exceeding rare plate2 the ,thomas ,dering1 signed by ,hurd1 is very rare4 ,the plates of ,stephen ,cleveland1 ,samuel ,chase1 ,francis ,kinloch1 ,edward ,augustus ,holyoke1 ,john ,vassal1 ,lewis ,de ,blois1 ,lenthal1 ,apthorp1 the ,john ,pintard1 by ,anderson1 and many others are not seen in many collections4 ,the plate of ,george ,washington is the most valuable probably of our plates2 and while we know the location of a good many of his books that have the plate within the covers1 they are in no way obtainable3 this plate is not very common1 but more copies of it are owned than of some others4 ,illustration3 ,stephen ,cleveland ,the libraries of our early days1 while of respectable size1 were not so large as to require the printing of thousands of book-plates2 fire and mob violence have destroyed many books of those old collections and their plates with them4 ,harvard1 ,yale1 ,william and ,mary1 and ,princeton ,illustration3 ,columbia ,college ,library have all suffered the loss of books by fire1 while many smaller private libraries have been thus devastated4 ,mr4 ,john ,pintard used to say that he had seen the ,british soldiers carrying away books from the library of ,columbia ,college to barter for grog1 and a similar fate from similar hands overtook many of the books stored in the belfry-chamber of the ,old ,south ,church1 ,boston1 while later in our history1 worse depredations were committed in the ,southern cities by soldiers1 who took the liberty which war accords to contestants1 to despoil many a building1 both public and private1 ruining books1 records1 paintings1 and other property of antiquarian and historical value4 ,so that the early ,american plates1 at the first not so very numerous1 have been reduced at times by wholesale measures4 ,a second item of interest to the collector is the signature of the engraver of the plate4 ,signed plates have a value over those which are not signed4 ,the identification of a plate1 or the determination of its age1 may be considerably strengthened if the engraver's name appears upon the copper4 ,then1 too1 the name of a famous engraver lends much additional interest to a plate4 ,a book-plate signed by ,paul ,revere arrests the attention of any observer at once1 and establishes a value to the same4 ,likewise a plate signed by ,hurd1 ,doolittle1 ,dawkins1 ,anderson1 ,maverick1 ,callender1 or ,turner is worth much more to the collector than one of equal age but of unknown workmanship4 ,dated plates also rank among the more valuable examples4 ,a glance at the chronological list will show how small a number of these we can boast3 many of those appearing in the list1 too1 are simply printed name-labels1 which do not rank as high as the more pretentious specimens4 ,our very earliest dated example is the label of the ,rev4 ,john ,williams1 #afgi1 the first minister in ,deerfield1 ,mass41 and who with his wife and children was carried into captivity by the ,indians in #agjd4 ,coming next are the plates of ,francis ,page1 #agjc1 and ,william ,penn1 #agjc1 but they are both of ,english make4 ,the plate of ,thomas ,illustration3 ,isaiah ,thomas ,prince1 who was for forty years the pastor of the ,old ,south ,society in ,boston1 is a simple label dated #agjd4 ,the plate of ,thomas ,dering1 signed by ,hurd1 and dated #agdi1 is the first ,american plate by an ,american engraver that is both signed and dated4 ,the ,john ,burnet1 by ,dawkins1 dated #aged1 is next in order2 then comes the ,greene plate1 by ,hurd1 #ageg1 the ,albany ,society ,library1 #agei1 concerning which very little is known1 and every few years an example until we come to the opening of the century4 ,illustration3 ,albany ,society ,library ,naturally the artistic quality of a book-plate influences its value2 the more elaborate designs are preferred to the plain armorials or the printed labels4 ,pictorial plates1 introducing bits of landscape1 interiors of libraries1 or allegorical subjects1 are sought for1 as are plates which are accepted as particularly good types of the different styles4 ,in addition to these technical reasons for valuing one plate more highly than another may be given others which will appear more reasonable perhaps to the general reader4 ,all articles belonging to the noted men of the past have a certain antiquarian value greater than attaches to the kindred belongings of their contemporaries of lesser or no fame4 ,so with book-plates4 ,a glance at the list will show a goodly number of names which we remember with pride and interest2 the names of patriots1 orators1 lawyers1 statesmen1 officers of the army1 officers of the state and nation1 members of ,congress1 signers of the ,declaration1 governors1 old-time merchants1 authors1 divines1 physicians1 and not a few of that plucky number who stood by the ,king in trying times--the ,american ,loyalists4 ,quakers1 too1 as well as royal office-holders1 and titled ,americans are among those whose book-plates have come down to us4 ,of our early ,presidents1 the plates of ,george ,washington1 ,john ,adams1 ,john ,quincy ,adams1 and ,john ,tyler are known to us4 ,all of these except the last1 which is a plain printed label1 are armorial4 ,members of the ,boston ,tea ,party1 of the ,constitutional ,convention1 and of the early ,assemblies are among those whose plates we know4 ,illustration3 ,john ,quincy ,adams4 ,of royal officers we have3 ,craven1 one of the ,lords ,proprietors of ,south ,carolina2 ,elliston1 ,collector of ,his ,majesty's ,customs at ,new ,york2 ,sir ,william ,keith1 ,governor of ,pennsylvania2 ,john ,tabor ,kempe1 ,attorney-,general under the ,crown at ,new ,york2 and ,william ,penn1 ,proprietor and ,governor of the colony which bore his name4 ,owners of large estates1 employers of numbers of slaves1 merchants whose vessels carried on a trade with remote and prosperous shores1 and who established names that have endured1 used book-plates which are still known to us4 ,among these are the plates from the following families1 well-known in ,new ,england3 ,ames1 ,bowdoin1 ,cabot1 ,chandler1 ,chauncey1 ,coffin1 ,lodge1 ,lowell1 ,minot1 ,quincy1 ,sears1 ,winthrop1 ,barrell1 ,greene1 ,perkins1 ,swan1 ,vassall1 and ,vaughan4 ,illustration3 ,josiah ,quincy ,of those well-known in and about ,new ,york may be mentioned1 ,clinton1 ,colden1 ,constable1 ,cutting1 ,de ,peyster1 ,duer1 ,ellery1 ,goelet1 ,hoffman1 ,ogden1 ,paulding1 ,phillipse1 ,pintard1 ,van ,cortlandt1 and ,van ,rensselaer4 ,to these should be added the ,livingstons1 which family had the largest number of book-plates of any we know4 ,in ,philadelphia were the ,logans1 ,morgans1 ,powels1 ,banckers1 and ,hamiltons2 while further ,south1 the ,lees1 ,lightfoots1 ,tayloes1 ,wormeleys1 ,pages1 ,cabels1 ,tubervilles1 ,armisteads1 ,byrds1 ,blands1 ,bollings1 ,dinwiddies1 ,fitzhughs1 ,hubards1 ,magills1 and ,randolphs used plates and were families of prominence and distinction4 ,illustration3 ,livius4 ,among the prominent ,loyalists are ,chalmers1 ,cooper1 ,hallowell1 ,hamilton1 ,livius1 ,lloyd1 ,oliver1 and ,robinson4 ,of titled ,americans the following used book-plates3 ,fairfax1 ,gardiner1 ,murray of ,dunmore1 and the ,pepperrell families4 ,of the early authors we can mention ,alsop1 ,antill1 ,bozman1 ,byrd1 ,dana1 ,key1 ,stith1 and ,abercrombie2 of physicians1 ,assheton1 ,bond1 ,beatty1 ,holyoke1 ,middleton1 and ,jeffries2 of the statesmen1 ,bayard1 ,carmichael1 ,dana1 ,duane1 ,gallatin1 ,jay1 ,lewis1 ,marshall1 ,norris1 and ,randolph4 ,illustration3 ,dr4 ,john ,jeffries ,among the early clergymen can be named ,apthorp1 ,boucher1 ,williams1 ,jarvis1 and ,provoost4 ,allen and ,thomas1 early printers2 ,aitkin1 who made the first ,american edition of the ,holy ,bible2 and ,bartram1 the great botanist1 used plates1 which are described in the list4 ,bloomfield1 ,brearly1 ,banister1 ,chester1 ,eustace1 ,hale1 ,mercer1 ,schuyler1 ,sullivan1 and ,varick are among the soldiers of the ,revolutionary army2 and of the orators we have ,otis and ,randolph4 ,coming now to the signers of the ,declaration1 we find that we know thus far the plates of eleven of them3 ,john ,adams1 ,charles ,carroll1 ,samuel ,chase1 ,thomas ,hayward1 ,william ,hooper1 ,francis ,hopkinson1 ,benjamin ,rush1 ,richard ,stockton1 ,george ,taylor1 ,oliver ,wolcott1 and ,george ,wythe4 ,surely the book-plates of all these men whose mention stirs patriotic feeling1 are of exceeding interest1 and worthy to rank with any in point of value and appreciation4 ,no book-plate1 however1 is of greater interest to the ,american collector than that of ,george ,washington1 not alone by reason of the prominence of that eminent man1 but because of the scarcity of the plate1 the high price it brings1 and the interesting fact that it is the only ,american plate which has been deemed worthy of counterfeiting4 ,a genuine contemporary print of this plate is readily recognized by the connoisseur4 ,the plate has no striking features1 but is a regular design in the pure ,chippendale style4 ,the arms are displayed upon a shield of the usual shell-like form1 and the sprays and rose branches of this style are used in the ornamentation of the sides of the escutcheon4 ,the motto1 ,exitus acta probat1 is given upon its ribbon at the base of the shield1 and the name is engraved in script on ,illustration3 ,edward ,hale ,bierstadt the bracket at the bottom of the design4 ,in general appearance the plate is like scores of ,chippendale plates of the period4 ,illustration3 ,george ,washington ,the interesting question of the probable engraver of the plate has arisen1 and in a most readable article from the pen of ,mr4 ,r4 ,c4 ,lichtenstein1 in the 8,curio10 on the ,library of ,washington1 the following opinion is advanced3 8,it was his ,washington's habit as a general rule to write his name on the right-hand corner of the title-page and place inside his book-plate4 ,it has been a matter of uncertainty as to whether that book-plate was engraved in ,england or in this country4 ,washington1 like other ,virginia gentlemen before the ,revolution1 was in the habit of ordering goods every year from ,london2 but we have searched the various orders to his agents in ,london1 and examined as far as practicable the items of his household expenses1 without finding any such item4 ,the strongest argument that can be said in its favor proving it to be ,american work is the poor heraldry displayed in its coat-of-arms1 general make-up1 and drawing4 ,it will be noticed that the engraver has placed a wreath under the crown 7an absolute heresy71 and this1 with the faulty drawing of the raven1 makes the whole plate a very slovenly piece of work4 ,no engraver with any knowledge of the fundamental laws of heraldry would be guilty of drawing such a coat-of-arms as this4 ,the arms of ,washington engraved on his seal and ring1 undoubtedly cut in ,england1 are correctly done4 ,it seems more than probable1 if the plate had been done in ,england that the engraver would not have been guilty of making such blunders4 ,we have seen a great many ,english plates1 but have never noticed one bearing these peculiarities4 ,from its general appearance we should say that the plate was made in ,america somewhere between the years #aggg and #agha40 ,collectors are divided in their opinions upon this question1 and although not ready to hazard a guess at the engraver1 the present writer believes the plate was engraved in ,england1 and would place the date nearly a decade earlier4 ,as the friend of the ,fairfax family1 ,washington might have had the plate made upon the occasion of their ordering work of the same kind from ,england1 or1 indeed1 it might have been a gift to him from them1 or from some admiring friend4 ,as he was a methodical man1 the fact that no entry of an expense for such an article is found in his records may lend color to the presentation theory4 ,as to the errors in heraldry1 there is a plate of one ,richard ,washington1 which has all the peculiarities of this plate1 and this is signed by ,bickham1 who was an ,english engraver of some note4 ,he was a trifle early perhaps to have been the engraver of the ,george ,washington plate1 but he may have made the plate which served as a copy for it4 ,but whether the plate was of domestic or foreign make1 we know that the copper was in this country1 and that impressions were made from it not so very many years ago4 ,the late ,mr4 ,mauran of ,newport knew the man who owned this1 and it seems that having printed what he deemed a sufficient number of re-strikes from it1 this man1 fearing lest others would in time get it and make more prints1 cut the copper into pieces and going out on a bridge over the ,schuylkill ,river1 threw them in6 ,there they may be looked for by any who choose4 ,the counterfeit of this plate appeared in an auction sale of books1 in the city of ,washington1 about the year #ahfc4 ,the late ,dr4 ,w4 ,f4 ,poole with ,dr4 ,j4 ,m4 ,toner was present at the sale4 ,the plate was placed in these books for the purpose of getting a higher price for them than could ,illustration3 ,george ,washington otherwise have been obtained4 ,these gentlemen detected the fraudulent plate1 and denounced it as such in the auction-room1 and the books brought only their actual value as books4 ,copies of this plate turn up now and then1 and the unsuspecting are still deceived by it4 ,it is readily detected if one is forewarned4 ,the work is manifestly inferior to the good plate1 the alignment of the name is poor1 the quality and appearance of the paper belie its professed age1 and the printing is of decidedly different appearance1 being bold and strong in the genuine1 and weak and thin in the forgery4 ,a further difference is noted in the crest1 which is tinctured gules in the forgery and sable in the genuine4 ,these plates are sometimes claimed to be genuine and to be an early and unsatisfactory piece of work1 which ,washington rejected1 and which was replaced with the other and accepted plate4 ,this idea is plausible perhaps to some1 but to any who had information from ,dr4 ,poole it is an impossible theory4 ,another source of confusion is in the reproductions of the plate which have been made from time to time to illustrate works on the life of ,washington1 some of these being quite faithful duplicates of the genuine plate with its trifling flaws2 but the paper and the printing are usually conclusive proof of the age of the print4 ,it is safe to say that there is but one genuine ,washington plate4 ,it is true that the re-strikes of the original copper are about1 but these1 too1 are readily distinguishable by the printing and paper4 ,the plate of ,bushrod ,washington1 nephew of ,george1 is also of much interest1 and the manifest similarity of its design to some of the plates by ,dawkins has led to the suggestion that he made this plate4 ,but to the mind of the writer1 ,dawkins was not a man of originality1 and was a regular copyist when it came to book-plates2 the similarity of the plate of ,james ,samuels to this plate is rather to his mind a further evidence of the clever adoption of a reasonably good design by ,dawkins1 than of his having been chosen by ,judge ,washington to engrave his book-plate4 ,the design of this plate is more spirited than any of the authenticated work of ,dawkins2 indeed1 it surpasses the plate of the ,general in that respect4 ,illustration3 ,bushrod ,washington4 ,the arms are the same in these two ,washington plates4 ,in his 8,barons of the ,potomac and the ,rappahannock0 7published by the ,grolier ,club1 #ahib71 ,mr4 ,moncure ,daniel ,conway has referred to the older form of the arms as used by earlier members of the family4 ,the earliest shields held 8,gules on a barre argent #c ,cinquefoiles of ye first40 ,the second step was made by changing to the following1 8,gules on a fesse sable #c mullets40 ,the last and present form is1 8,argent1 two bars gules3 in chief three mullets of the second40 ,these last1 it is claimed1 suggested our national flag4 ,the plate of ,elizabeth ,graeme of ,philadelphia should be noted here1 as it is the only example of an heraldic plate used by a lady of colonial times4 ,it is fully described in the list4 ,leaving now these older plates of special interest to be discovered in the ,lists1 we turn to a few modern plates which are worthy of particular attention4 ,illustration3 ,dan ,webster ,the plate of ,daniel ,webster is a plain armorial with the motto1 ,vera pro gratis1 on the ribbon below the shield4 ,the etched plate of the late ,james ,eddy ,mauran1 the early collector of ,american and other book-plates1 was an armorial of very handsome appearance4 ,the shield is surrounded with the style of decoration used on the ,chippendale examples1 oak leaves being used in lieu of mantling4 ,an earlier plate in two sizes shows some differences in the design4 ,the plate of the late ,george ,w4 ,childs seems wholly in keeping with the career of its distinguished owner4 ,the sword1 broken into pieces by the quill1 is depicted within an oval garter which bears the motto1 ,nihil sine labore4 ,the words from ,lytton's ,richelieu1 ,the pen is mightier than the sword1 are also given just within the frame4 ,coming now to mention a few plates of our well-known men of letters1 we naturally accept the plate of ,oliver ,wendell ,holmes as worthy of the chiefest

his knee4 ,on a circular frame surrounding this picture the following words from ,molire are given1 ,que pensez vous de cette comedie4 ,the appropriateness of the design is apparent for one who is a

,illustration3 ,nathaniel ,hurd1 who was born in ,boston1 ,feb4 #ac1 #agcj1 and who died in #aggg1 was the best of our early engravers of book-plates4 ,very little is now known of him1 the principal source of information being an article in the third volume of 8,the ,new ,england ,magazine10 published in ,boston in #ahcb by ,j4 ,t4 and ,e4 ,buckingham4 ,the only known portrait of ,hurd1 which is copied from an original painting of him by ,copley1 and which in #ahcb was owned by a descendant of ,hurd in ,medford1 ,mass41 also accompanies this article1 and shows him as a young man with smooth face1 very pleasing and intelligent features1 and wearing a cap1 white neck-cloth1 and clothes of a pattern which give him a decidedly clerical appearance4 ,the only book-plate work mentioned in this article is the large plate for ,harvard ,college4 ,it is said that the prints done in red ink were for use in the highly valuable books which the students were not allowed to take from the library4 ,several brilliant caricatures1 a portrait of the ,rev4 ,illustration3 ,w4 ,f4 ,,hopson ,dr4 ,sewell of the ,old ,south ,church1 done in #agfd1 and a few other examples of his art are mentioned4 ,he is 7probably inaccurately7 claimed to be the first person who undertook to engrave on copper in the ,united ,states4 ,he was a man of natural talent and real genius1 was self-instructed in his art1 and was regarded as the foremost seal-cutter and die-engraver of his time1 in this country4 ,the following advertisement from the ,boston 8,gazette0 of ,april #bh1 #agfj1 is of some interest3-- 8,nathaniel ,hurd ,informs his ,customers he has remov'd his shop from ,maccarty's ,corner on the ,exchange to the ,back ,part of the opposite ,brick ,building1 where ,mr4 ,ezekiel ,price kept his ,office1 where he continues to do all ,sorts of ,goldsmiths ,work4 ,likewise engraves in ,gold1 ,silver1 ,copper1 ,brass1 and ,steel1 in the neatest ,manner1 and at reasonable ,rate40 ,hurd worked principally in the ,chippendale style2 he made some plates in the ,jacobean and a few in the ,ribbon and ,wreath styles1 but he died before the latter was much in use1 and the former was really going out when he took up the making of plates4 ,judging from the appearance of his work1 his first attempts were in the ,chippendale style1 and the few ,jacobeans he made were done after he had attained considerable efficiency4 ,one of his earliest specimens was undoubtedly the plate of ,edward ,augustus ,holyoke1 the famous doctor of ,boston1 who lived to be one hundred years old1 and who was but a year or two the senior of ,hurd4 ,in this plate he used a design which he evidently believed he could improve upon1 and in which he felt there were good features1 for we find a number of future plates of very similar design but much better execution4 ,in the ,holyoke plate the work is very crude1 the lines are stiff1 the drawing is poor1 and the lettering of the motto and name are not good4 ,an ugly scroll is placed under the name1 and the festoon of cloth which is draped at the bottom of the frame and around the motto ribbon is especially poor2 the shell at the base of the escutcheon which figures so often in future plates is here used1 and the queer little flow of water from it would not be recognized as such were this the only specimen in which it occurs2 the arrangement of the rose sprays1 the form of the shield1 and the employment of the shelly edge show a thorough study of the elements of this style4 ,very likely this design was copied in great part from some foreign example which had come into his possession4 ,in the ,thomas ,dering plate1 which is the earliest plate dated and signed by an ,american engraver1 this same design is improved upon2 it is more compact in appearance1 a little freer in execution1 and the drawing is improved4 ,the name is still not very well engraved1 and top-heavy flourishes weigh down the capitals4 ,in the ,theodore ,atkinson plate the same design is still further improved upon2 the flow of water from the scallop shell is here caught in a little bowl1 a little additional flowery ornamentation is added1 and the heraldic drawing is better4 ,the name is again embellished with graceless flourishes4 ,the design seems to reach perfection in the ,wentworth plate2 every feature is markedly better1 the water still flows out of the scallop shell1 the same shaped shield is used and the motto is placed upon a graceful ribbon with ends which run off into fancy foliations4 ,the name is neat in appearance1 but still there are too many scrolls4 ,illustration3 ,robert ,hale ,esqr4 ,,of ,,beverly ,in the plate of ,robert ,hale of ,beverly1 the old festoon of cloth noticed in the ,holyoke plate is seen again1 and no motto is given4 ,the name is fairly well engraved4 ,later developments of this style are seen in the plates of ,henry ,marchant1 ,danforth1 ,nathaniel ,tracy1 and ,john ,marston2 in these some of the features of the former are wanting1 but they are evidently a legitimate progeny in the matter of style4 ,illustration3 ,john ,chandler ,junr4 ,esqr4 ,another1 and without doubt the highest type of the ,chippendale plate which ,hurd made1 is seen in the ,john ,chandler1 ,jr41 the ,dana1 the ,philip ,dumeresque1 the ,vassall1 and the ,wilson plates4 ,in these the shield becomes larger1 the whole scheme of decoration shows more fine detail work1 and the effect is lighter1 more graceful1 and seems at once the work of a master4 ,the names are engraved in large bold type1 with a characteristic dash after the last period4 ,illustration3 ,lew4s4 ,de ,blois ,in the ,jacobean style1 the earliest of ,hurd's work is undoubtedly the ,lewis ,de ,blois4 ,this is crude in workmanship1 not very good in drawing1 but excellent in design1 and faithful to the characteristics of the style2 the shield is placed against a frame which is lined with the regulation fish-scale pattern2 the sides are richly foliated1 the mantling is profuse and very well drawn1 and the name is placed upon a fringed curtain which is tied up at the ends with ribbon4 ,illustration3 ,joshua ,spooner4 ,the handsomest ,jacobean plates by ,hurd are the ,robert ,jenkins1 the ,spooner1 and the ,andrew ,tyler4 ,in the former the lining is diapered1 the scroll work at the side of the arms is very fine1 and at the bottom1 under the shield1 a small vignette of a ship under full sail is very pretty4 ,at the top of the scrolls on either side two turbanded female heads peer at each other across the crest4 ,in the ,tyler plate the frame is very similar to the ,jenkins1 the lining is diapered1 and the scroll at the side are the same4 ,the little vignette at the bottom1 however1 is displaced by a sour face with gray hair4 ,the two faces are replaced by urns filled with flowers1 and the old cloth festoon is draped below the whole design4 ,the ,spooner plate bears no resemblance to the others1 and is a more graceful design4 ,the lining is latticed1 the ,sphinx head under the shield is enclosed within a frame of its own1 and at either side are term figures from whose hands depend bouquets of flowers2 the crest is overarched with a bit of the old scallop shell1 and the motto is on a ribbon1 which1 wholly unsupported1 maintains a curved position under the frame4 ,the ,jacobean plates of ,benjamin ,greene and ,peter ,r4 ,livingston are almost identical in design2 the small frame which encloses the shield is lined with the fish-scale pattern1 the mantling is handsome and profuse1 and the motto ribbon is stretched in rather stiff manner below the frame4 ,only two examples of the ,ribbon and ,wreath style are known as ,hurd's work1 the ,john ,c4 ,williams and the ,jonathan ,jackson4 ,these are both signed1 and are very similar in design4 ,garlands of roses depending from rings above follow closely the outline of the heart-shaped shield1 and the ribbon for the motto is placed beneath1 and is ornamented with fancy ends4 ,in the 8detur0 plate for ,harvard ,college ,hurd conformed to the ,english manner and adopted the seal-shaped design4 ,the arms are displayed upon a heart-shaped shield which is enclosed within a circle which bears the name and motto1 and this again is enclosed by a wreath of holly branches4 ,illustration3 ,harvard ,college ,hurd's work is the most interesting found in our early days1 and a study of it shows him to have been progressive as well as painstaking4 ,the ,ribbon and ,wreath style did not come into general use in ,england until about #aggj1 yet ,hurd1 who died in #aggg1 had used it4 ,the colonies could not be expected to adopt the new styles of the old country immediately1 and the condition of things from #aggj on to the time of ,hurd's death was not such as to encourage the introduction of 8fads0 or to allow much time for the development of the fine arts4 ,a word must be said about the heraldry on ,hurd's book-plates4 ,this science1 heraldry1 was not held in such general esteem among the ,new ,englanders as it was further south1 and while many of the governors and men of high standing in the ,northern colonies brought armorial seals with them1 a great many who used them did so without strict heraldic authority1 and when it became the fashion to use coats-of-arms in various ways1 the herald painters of those days1 who had but slight knowledge of heraldry and who were possessed of a copy of ,guillim or some other writer on the subject1 would find therein the arms of some family bearing the name of their prospective customer1 and without further research would proceed to produce the coat as described4 ,not always were these arms so ordered correctly borne2 indeed1 there is much uncertainty about the arms used after about #agcj when our native engravers and painters took up the work of producing arms upon orders4 ,such seals as were brought by the colonists from ,england1 and such as were used by their descendants are undoubtedly correct1 but the questionable arms are those which1 as mentioned above1 were looked up in this country only1 by means of such heraldic works as were at hand4 ,the presence of the arms then on some book-plates cannot be relied upon as sufficient and indisputable proof of their owners' right to them4 ,illustration3 ,john ,vassall ,esqr4 ,a list of the book-plates signed

,american wood-engraver1 was born in the city of ,new ,york1 ,april #ba1 #agge1 and lived to the advanced age of ninety-five years1 dying1 in #ahgj1 in ,jersey ,city1 ,n4,j41 on the #agth of ,february4 ,at the age of twelve1 with the spring of a pocket-knife1 sharpened for the purpose1 he tried ,illustration3 ,peter ,a4 ,browne to engrave on copper pennies rolled thin4 ,in this way he made his first plate1 which was a head of ,paul ,jones2 and his first impression from it was made in red oil paint by a rude kind of a press of his own contrivance4 ,with tools made by a blacksmith1 he went on to cut little ships and houses on type metal for the newspapers4 ,being in some way led to take an interest in certain medical works1 he copied many of the plates1 and his father1 feeling that this was a true sign of his fitness for the profession of medicine1 and not discerning the talent for engraving1 placed him with ,dr4 ,joseph ,young1 as a student of medicine4 ,this step was taken with great reluctance by the youth2 but he found time for both the cares of his new study1 and for the pleasures of his old pastime4 ,various successes encouraged him1 and in #agic he cut a tobacco-stamp on wood1 which appears to have been his first use of that material4 ,soon after this1 he obtained a copy of ,bewick's 8,quadrupeds10 and with the cuts found therein he was delighted4 ,they had a strong influence upon his later work1 and he has been well called the 8,american ,bewick10 for his small wood-cuts closely resemble those of the ,english master in design1 and his prominence in this country was equal to ,bewick's in ,england4 ,a life of ,dr4 ,anderson has lately 7#ahic7 been issued in ,new ,york2 but1 to the disappointment of book-plate collectors1 not a word is said of his making book-plates4 ,of the seven plates by ,anderson known at present1 four are on wood1 and three are on copper4 ,illustration3 ,,john ,,pintard1 ,,ll4 ,d4 ,only one of those on wood

work of ,anderson1 but as it is not signed it is not safely attributed to him4 ,in the plate of ,a4 ,griggs of ,philadelphia1 an even more marked resemblance to his little designs on wood is seen1 but

,,callender was born in ,boston1 ,may #f1 #agea4 ,very little is known about him1 but he is reported to have acquired the plates of ,peter ,pelham1 who was presumably the first to engrave on copper in ,america1 and to have destroyed them4 ,callender made most of the dies for the second ,massachusetts ,mint1 at a cost of #a #ds4 each4 ,this was considered an exorbitant price by the superintendent1 who made a contract with a ,newburyport artisan1 ,jacob ,perkins4 ,callender received #dh #abs4 for making thirty-nine dies1 and repairing three others1 while ,perkins received but #c #ahs4 #aj;d4 for his work4 ,callender died in ,boston1 ,nov4 #aj1 #ahba1 and was buried in the ,granary ,burying ,ground4 ,the only ,chippendale plate by ,callender is a copy of the ,atkinson plate by ,hurd1 and is for a member of the same family4 ,as compared with its model1 this plate shows very little difference1 it is so close a copy1 but the motto ribbon which is added is more graceful than those of ,hurd usually were1 the heraldic drawing is quite as good1 and the lettering of the name is better4 ,callender1 of course1 would not have begun to engrave much before ,hurd's death2 indeed1 the preponderance of the ,ribbon and ,wreath style in his designs goes to show that his work dated towards the close of the century4 ,his plates in this style are very light and graceful1 with no overloading2 and a faithful use of the usual features of the style is apparent4 ,in the ,russell plate he was again a copyist1 using for his model the ,joseph ,barrell plate4 ,the plates for the ,american ,academy of ,arts and ,sciences1 and for the ,massachusetts ,medical ,society are practically alike2 the curtain1 and the ,illustration3 ,thomas ,russell ribbon and festooning are very similar1 while the view within the oval frame is1 of course1 adapted to the use of the books of the respective societies4 ,callender would seem by these signs to have been a lazy engraver1 or to have considered his designs so perfect as to call for no further effort4 ,a ,,list ,,of ,,book-,,plates ,,signed ,,by ,,callender4 ---- ,andrews ,pictorial4 ,william ,king ,atkinson ,chippendale4 ,jonathan

rightly by his book-plate work4 ,in this he was very largely a copyist4 ,working altogether in the ,chippendale style1 his designs for the most part are variations of one general plan1 which seems to have been borrowed from an ,english-made plate4 ,in his plates we see 8,chippendalism run wild40 ,here are introduced the love-sick swains who play upon the flute2 the dandy shepherds in stiff clothes of the most fashionable cut1 flowing curls1 and large felt hats2 the flirting young damsels in very low-cut bodices1 who play at being shepherdesses for the sake of following the above-mentioned gentle keeper of sheep4 ,here are the music-loving ,cupids1 the scantily clad females who are attended by the ,cupids1 and who are far from home among the trees of the wood4 ,in the ,james ,duane plate we find a fountain is fixed to the side of the frame1 and is spouting water from the mouth of a man's head4 ,but the plates of ,samuel ,jones1 ,samuel ,stringer1 and ,peter ,w4 ,yates are proof that ,dawkins could confine himself to the legitimate features of good ,chippendale plates4 ,in these no outside objects are introduced1 and the design is good4 ,we do not know much about ,dawkins4 ,dunlap says he was probably from ,england1 and that he was first noticed in ,new ,york4 ,originally he was an ornamenter of buttons and other small bits of metal1 but in ,america he worked at anything that offered1 8suiting himself to the poverty of the arts at the time40 ,dunlap dates him about #aggd1 evidently on the strength of the word of ,dr4 ,anderson1 who remembered to have seen 8shop-bills and coats-of-arms for books10 done by him previous to #agge4 ,however1 in #agfa1 he engraved music for a book of ,psalm ,tunes published in that year in ,philadelphia4 ,his earliest dated book-plate is that of ,john ,burnet 7#aged74 ,he was skilful enough to make counterfeit ,continental currency1 but not to avoid arrest2 and in #aggf we find him suffering for this misdeed4 ,some time later1 he forwarded the following unique petition to the ,committee of ,safety3-- 8,,may ,,it ,,please ,,your ,,honours1--,the subscriber humbly relying on the known goodness and humanity of this honourable house1 begs leave to lay his complaint before them1 which is briefly as follows4 ,that your petitioner was about six months past taken upon ,long ,island for a trespass which this house is thoroughly acquainted as by ,israel ,youngs he was led away to perform an action of which he has sincerely repented and your petitioner was torn away from an only son who was left among strangers without any support1 or protection during the inclemency of the approaching winter1 as his unhappy father hath since the first day he was taken had but one shirt and one pair of stockings to shift himself1 and hath been affected during his imprisonment at ,white ,plains with that worst of enemies hunger1 and a nauseous stench of a small room where some twenty persons were confined together which hath introduced a sickness on your distressed subscriber which with the fatigue of travelling hath reduced your unhappy petitioner to a state of despondency--he therefore being weary of such a miserable life as his misconduct has thrown him into begs for a termination by death to be inflicted upon him in what manner the honourable ,house may see fit4 ,the kind compliance of this honourable ,house will ever lay an obligation on your distressed humble servent ,,henry ,,dawkins40 ,we do not know in what manner the honorable house received this extraordinary petition2 but1 as book-plates are in existence in his later style1 probably it was not granted4 ,dawkins used three distinct varieties of the ,chippendale style4 ,the plates of ,benjamin ,kissam1 the ,ludlow and ,roome plates1 the ,whitehead ,hicks and the ,james ,duane are examples of the debased ,illustration3 ,whitehead ,hicks ,esq4 ,chippendale4 ,he had also a style which is illustrated by the ,hopkinson1 ,samuels1 and ,tomlinson plates1 which is closely allied to the style of the ,bushrod ,washington4 ,the same hissing dragon1 the same tilt to the whole design1 and the similarity in detail and execution have led to the question of his being the engraver of the latter plate4 ,it is not a question easy to decide1 and collectors are divided over the question4 ,this style of plate came originally from ,england1 we can be sure2 and as ,dawkins is seen to be a copyist1 it is quite as likely that he copied from the ,bushrod ,washington plate1 as that he designed it4 ,he always used a squarer copper than the ,washington plate is engraved upon2 but this has evidences of having been cut down after engraving4 ,the present writer does not think the plate can be safely attributed to ,dawkins4 ,the ,child and ,jones plates exemplify the third style4 ,the debased ,chippendale plates which ,dawkins made were apparently copied from an ,english example he had seen4 ,a ,,list ,,of ,,book-,,plates ,,signed ,,by

is the ,eli ,forbes4 ,this plate shows but few traces of the influence of ,hurd4 ,it is a ,chippendale design1 but ,illustration3 ,eli ,forbes4 is not in either of the characteristic modes of ,hurd4 ,it is an ambitious plate1 and was meant to be very fine1 evidently4 ,it is full of flourishes1 and the little spiral flourish at the lower right-hand side is wholly out of place2 the robin picking rose leaves at the side is an innovation4 ,the scrolls under the name are somewhat in the manner of ,hurd4 ,the heraldic drawing is poor1 and the bunch of arrows between the shield and the crest must be in allusion to the occupation of the owner1 who was a missionary to the ,indians4 ,illustration3 ,john ,chambers ,esqr4 ,there is said to be a plate by ,furnass owned in ,boston1 by the name of

had an inclination from boyhood1 when he made his first attempts on the silver plate of his friends1 with a graver made by a blacksmith4 ,the only example of his book-plate work is a plate fully described under the heading1 8,unidentified10 in the ,list4 ,most unfortunately1 the only example known has the family name torn out4 ,the first name is ,john4 ,the plate is rather rudely engraved1

disprove the claim1 as in those days such differences were frequent4 ,the ,willis plate bears strong resemblance to the work and designs of ,hurd4 ,if this is the same engraver as the above1 these two plates are likely to be the earliest signed plates by an ,american1 as ,johnson was born some twenty years before ,hurd4 ,the ,willis plate is quite inferior to the ,smith1 which latter is a striking

engravers1 and who made the art their occupation4 ,he was an energetic worker1 getting most of his practical knowledge by his own endeavors4 ,he was the teacher of ,william ,dunlap and of ,francis ,kearney1 as well as of his own son1 who ultimately became a more proficient engraver than his father1 and1 who after instructing ,a4 ,b4 ,durand for five years1 took him into partnership4 ,peter ,r4 ,maverick died in ,new ,york1 about #ahjg1 and his son ,peter whose partnership with ,durand resulted disastrously1 died in #ahca4 ,as a designer and engraver of book-plates1 ,maverick was the most prolific of all the early engravers4 ,it is presumed that all the plates signed either ,p4 ,r4 ,maverick1 or simply ,maverick1 were by the same hand1 as a large collection of ,illustration ,weigh well

which furnishes examples of both ways of signing is now in the possession of the ,new ,york ,historical ,society1 and the librarian informs me that all of the plates in that collection were done in #aghi by the elder ,maverick4 ,this collection consists of sixty-five plates1 of which thirty-eight different ones are signed by ,maverick4 ,there are also others which are undoubtedly his work1 although not signed1 and there are examples by ,dawkins1 ,hutt1 and ,child4 ,quite a number of the plates are duplicated1 too4 ,this very interesting collection of proofs1 kept by ,maverick himself1 and sewed together roughly1 was in the library of his friend1 ,john ,allan4 ,by far the greater part of ,maverick's plates are of the ,ribbon and ,wreath style1 but he made a few ,jacobeans1 a few ,chippendales1 and one or two pictorial and allegorical designs4 ,he used the same features over and over in his plates1 and seems to have been a rapid worker4 ,the plates in the following list marked

goldsmith4 ,he went on the ,crown ,point expedition1 #agef1 and after his return1 married1 and settled down to the business he had already learned4 ,he was naturally fond of mechanics1 and made himself master of its general principles4 ,one of his earliest attempts on copper was the portrait of his friend1 ,dr4 ,mayhew4 ,he also engraved several caricatures which were popular1 and some historical pictures which are valuable now to the collector4 ,illustration3 ,paul ,revere ,not many book-plates have come down to us by this celebrated patriot1 and the following list comprises all

of ,hurd's1 and are not so well designed or so well engraved as the latter's4 ,presumably this branch of work was not very profitable to him1 or very much cultivated4 ,the accompanying design was

up to the trade of ornamenting buttons2 and1 upon coming to ,new ,york1 made the gilt buttons which decorated the coat worn by ,washington at his inauguration as ,president4 ,he did this without remuneration1 so thoroughly sympathizing with the country of his adoption as to feel the honor of this service for ,washington a full compensation4 ,he was1 through the friendship of ,messrs4 ,elias ,hicks and ,john ,c4 ,ludlow1 recommended to the publishers of ,brown's ,family ,bible1 for which he made several plates4 ,previous to this1 he found work in the shops of different silversmiths1 and had taught himself the art of engraving on copper4 ,at the beginning of the century1 ,archibald ,robertson painted a portrait of ,alexander ,hamilton1 which ,rollinson boldly undertook to make a large engraving from4 ,he did not understand all the processes of engraving1 and invented such as he was compelled to use1 as he went on4 ,the duel in which ,hamilton lost his life occurred before the portrait was fully engraved4 ,indeed1 it had been undertaken more as an experiment than with the idea of sale2 but the friends of the dead statesman urged him to complete it1 which he did1 and the print found a good sale4 ,later1 ,rollinson invented a machine for ruling waved lines1 which was of vast importance in the manufacture of bank-notes4 ,as an engraver of book-plates1 he adopted the ,ribbon and ,wreath style naturally1 as it was the style in vogue when he took up the work4 ,he made one or two plain armorials1 and for the ,new ,york ,college of ,pharmacy one of more ambitious design4 ,his plates1 all neat in design1 are clear1 skilful engraving4 ,his work and that of ,callender1 in the same style1 resemble each other4 ,the following plates are signed by ,rollinson3--

,h4 ,dawkins ,sculpt4 ,unidentified ,a4 ,godwin ,sculp4 ,a glance at the above list shows that our early engravers had no set rule by which to record their names on plates which they engraved2 they used full names or initials as the fancy seized them1 or the room on the plate demanded4 ,in the word chosen to denote the fact of engraving a great diversity is seen1 though by far the most used sculpsit or its abbreviations4 ,hurd and ,callender seem to have been the most methodical1 as they used one form a good deal4 ,dawkins had several styles1 and ,maverick had one or two1 but was pretty certain to use an abbreviation of sculpsit4 ,illustration3 ,will ,duer ,esqr4 ,illustration3 ,,louis ,i4 ,,haber ,a ,,list ,,of ,,the ,,mottoes ,,found ,,upon ,,the ,,early ,,american ,,book-,,plates1 ,,with ,,translations4 ,in the ,introduction to his 8,handbook of ,mottoes10 ,mr4 ,c4 ,n4 ,elvin separates the mottoes into the following four classes3-- ,i4 ,mottoes which have no reference to the name or the armorial bearings of their users4 ,,ii4 ,mottoes which have a direct reference to the bearings4 ,,iii4 ,mottoes which have a punning reference to the name4 ,,iv4 ,mottoes which have a reference to both name and bearings4 ,while all these classes are represented in the following list of mottoes and quotations taken from the early ,american ,book-plates1 such a classification is hardly adapted to the very limited number of mottoes employed1 and we should divide them into but two general classes1 under which1 however1 a number of subdivisions will occur to the reader4 #a4 ,the family mottoes3 used either as a matter of course or with a reasonable pride in the possession4 #b4 ,the mottoes which are the choice or selection of the owner of the plate3 in this are included quotations from the classic writers of both poetry and prose1 mottoes of a patriotic nature1 of a moral and of an educational character1 as well as others in lighter vein4 ,plates are found1 too1 that have the family motto and one of private suitability in addition4 ,the expressions against the lending of books and the lines directing the attention to the value of good reading1 and kindred sentiments1 mentioned in previous chapters1 are not included here4 ,the translations will be found rather 8free0 in many cases1 and it will need but a casual glance at the construction of some of the ,latin phrases to see that such a freedom is necessary4 ,v ,v,s 4 7,eph4 ii4 #bj47 ,jesus ,christ himself being the chief corner-stone4 ,,andover ,,theol4 ,,sem4 4 ,truth4 ,,brothers ,,in ,,unity

,illustration3 ,all book-plates which do not have the flavor of age about them1 and which were made quite within the memory of the collector1 are classed as recent plates4 ,this is a term of doubtful application2 but in a general way it has come to mean all plates made since about #ahcj4 ,their number is legion1 of course1 and no attempt is here made to enumerate them1 or even a small part of them1 but only to note briefly those of the more recent additions which are especially noteworthy4 ,and now we part with the old styles of plates4 ,the early armorial1 with the profuse denticulated mantling1 is never used1 the pure ,jacobean is not seen1 the graceful ,chippendale has been discarded1 and the ,ribbon and ,wreath1 with its fanciful festoons and garlands of roses1 is also a thing of the past4 ,this is of course natural1 as the armorial plates1 which are the only ones demanding any of these styles of decoration1 are very little used now4 ,but we have still the ,library ,interior1 the ,literary1 the ,pictorial1 and the ,allegorical2 but these have changed their appearance so much ,illustration3 ,george ,h4 ,ellwanger as to be hardly recognizable as the lineal descendants of those of the same type which went before4 ,indeed1 the recent plates have little in common with the old1--new motives1 new designs1 new methods1 and new conceptions of what a book-plate can be have come in1 and the change produced is very marked4 ,heraldic plates are still in use1 and still being made1 but the number of plain armorials is quite small4 ,usually1 now1 those who wish to show the family arms on the book-plate do not display it all by itself1 but accompanied by literary accessories1 or pictorial1 or with decorative features to relieve what would to-day appear a bare and unfinished plate1 but which in the older days would have been the pink of perfection4 ,among the plain armorial plates of recent days may be mentioned that of ,henry ,b4 ,anthony1 the late senator from ,rhode ,island1 which1 without even a motto1 presents the arms of the family1 with the crest1 and the name4 ,another plain armorial plate is that of ,john ,h4 ,buck1 of the ,gorham ,manufacturing ,company1 and the author of 8,old ,plate40 ,this1 too1 is perfectly plain1 with no motto4 ,frank ,house ,baer and ,charles ,w4 ,burrows1 of ,cleveland1 both use the plain armorial style1 relieved by slight mantling or scroll work1 and with the mottoes on ribbons beneath the shield4 ,mr4 ,appleton ,morgan has a plain armorial plate1 quartering the ,morgan and ,appleton arms4 ,mr4 ,daniel ,ravenel1 of ,charleston1 also uses a plain armorial shield1 relieved with sprays of marigold 7the ,huguenot emblem7 and of wall-flower 7the ,french name for which is ,ravenelle74 ,a plain armorial plate1 in colors1 is used by the compiler of 8,america ,heraldica40 ,an imposing helmet with blue mantling surmounts the shield1 and the motto1 ,moins faire mieux faire1 is given on a ribbon which encloses the whole design4 ,harry ,allen ,castle1 of ,hartford1 uses a design borrowed from the plate of ,mr4 ,thomas ,bailey ,aldrich4 ,the castle on its wreath is enclosed by a square frame in which the name appears1 with the words ,his ,mark4 ,in the corners of this frame are the letters ,i4,h4,s4,v41 standing for the motto1 ,in hoc signo vinces4 ,a punning friend1 upon seeing this plate1 remarked to ,mr4 ,castle1 that the letters would seem to mean1 8,i have some volumes40 ,dr4 ,j4 ,s4 ,h4 ,fogg1 the late well-known collector of1 and authority on1 autographs1 used a plain armorial plate1 with the motto1 ,aut pax aut bellum4 ,prof4 ,j4 ,max ,hark1 of the ,moravian ,seminary at ,bethlehem1 ,pa41 has a plain heraldic plate1 with thin mantling about the shield4 ,the motto occupies two lines above and below the shield1 and is in imitation of the ancient manner4 ,what mon an ,honeste ,namen doth owen1 ,too hym rycht glaedlie myn ,bookes i loan4 ,but so too longen ye ,bookes be kepit1 ,he shal forsooth be a ,knave yclepit4 ,this is printed with red capitals1 on very fine parchment paper with rough edges1 and is a very pretty plate4 ,dr4 ,joseph ,henry ,dubbs1 professor in ,franklin and ,marshall ,college1 uses a plate which exhibits the arms on a shield which is fastened to a spreading oak-tree4 ,illustration3 ,thomas ,bailey ,aldrich ,his ,mark ,illustration3 ,,melvin ,h4 ,,hapgood4 ,,hartford1 ,,conn41 ,u4,s4,a4 ,at either side1 scrolls are drawn1 which bear the motto1 ,ex recto decus1 and the following dates1 which refer to the migrations of the doctor's ancestors3 ,styria1 #addf2 ,helvetia1 #aeca2 ,america1 #agcb4 ,a plate of unique history is that of ,the ,rawle ,law ,offices1 ,established ,a4,d4 #aghc1 ,philadelphia4 ,this inscription is given on a circular band which encloses the shield of arms1 and the motto1 ,morte1 ,virtute4 ,below this1 the name of the successive proprietors of the law-offices are given1 as follows3 ,william ,rawle1 #aghc-ahcf1 ,william ,rawle1 #ahaj-aheh1 ,william ,henry ,rawle1 #ahdd-ahhi1 ,william ,brooke ,rawle1 #ahfg4 ,melvin ,h4 ,hapgood1 of ,hartford1 uses an oblong plate1 which exhibits the shield of arms at the left of the name space1 and which is surrounded by a fine running vine which bears both fruit and flowers1 and among the twistings of which the motto1 ,inter folia fructus1 is woven4 ,the implements of the architect1 and the secondary motto1 ,penna ferro potentior1 are also cleverly worked into the decorative frame4 ,monsignor ,seton1 ,d4,d41 of ,jersey ,city ,heights1 uses a ,illustration3 ,,joseph ,,henry ,,dubbs ,d ,d small heraldic plate1 in which the arms are given in colors1 and are surmounted by the clerical hat and tassels4 ,a plain armorial plate is used by ,john ,f4 ,winslow1 a descendant of ,governor ,winslow1 and one to whose means and energy we owe the building of the first 8,monitor40 ,prof4 ,charles ,eliot ,norton1 of ,harvard1 uses an heraldic plate1 in which the crest only is given4 ,beneath this1 a pile of books is covered by a scroll1 which bears upon it the motto1 ,amici et amicis4 ,the ,rev4 ,morgan ,dix1 of ,trinity ,church1 ,new ,york ,city1 uses an heraldic plate1 in which also the crest only is given4 ,this is surrounded by a circular garter1 on which the motto1 ,quod dixi factum est1 is printed4 ,this ends our list of plain armorial plates4 ,whatever sarcasm and disgust may be stirred up by the assumption of arms by persons not entitled to them1 no word can be said against the display of authenticated arms upon the book-plate4 ,many coats-of-arms run back for several centuries1 and an honored ancestry has borne them4 ,a rightful pride in such memorials of past family history induces many who are entitled to them to use their arms thus2 and while the plain armorial plate has had its day1 and has passed the stage of wide popularity1 it is still in use4 ,coming1 now1 to the ,library ,interior style of book-plates1 we mention first the finest example of recent work in this style1--the plate of ,richard ,c4 ,lichtenstein1 of ,boston4 ,mr4 ,lichtenstein is one of the old collectors of plates1 a member of the ,council of the ,ex ,libris ,society of ,london1 and a recognized authority upon ,american plates4 ,as we would expect1 he has indicated his hobby in all details of his design4 ,the scene is laid in the corner of the owner's den1 in which are well-filled shelves1 framed prints1 photographs1 and the usual accessories4 ,in the immediate foreground1 a ,cupid is seated at a desk1 and in his outstretched hand holds a plate upon the globe which stands at hand1 while he reads1 from an open book1 the description1 presumably1 of the treasure lately acquired4 ,two other ,cupids are at his back3 one bearing the ,journal of the ,ex ,libris ,society1 and the other returning from a successful quest for plates1 if we may judge by the packet under his arm4 ,the presence of the globe indicates the cosmopolitan character of the collection the ,cupids are examining and adding to4 ,a finely foliated border surrounds the interior picture2 and in a space at the right side is a package of mounted plates2 and on the left1 a tied-up bunch of book-covers1 in which ,mr4 ,lichtenstein keeps his plates4 ,the name appears in white letters upon a black scroll at the bottom1 and behind it is seen a castle of white stone1--a play on the name of the owner4 ,the plate is dated #ahic1 and is signed by the engraver1 ,george ,moore1 and the designer1 ,l4 ,y4 ,van ,tiffele4 ,the plate of ,james ,phinney ,baxter reveals a most pleasing interior1 which is probably from the actual room4 ,a tall clock is flanked by long rows of books1 a table and easy-chair are in the ,illustration3 ,james ,phinney ,baxter4 foreground1 and bric--brac is disposed upon convenient shelving4 ,at the left of the picture1 a portrait of the owner is given1 with a fac-simile of his autograph4 ,the following motto1 ,who learns and learns but does not what he knows1 ,is one who plows and plows but never sows1 is also given in fac-simile of handwriting4 ,the plate of ,william ,vanamee shows what is also an actual interior1 probably4 ,the stairs enter the room at the left1 and the space under them is occupied by books4 ,pictures adorn the walls1 and a cosey bench before the shelves invites the visitor to recline and read4 ,the motto1 ,carpe diem1 is given above the picture1 and the name below1 both in fac-simile of handwriting4 ,actual comfort and enjoyment are expressed in the plate of ,louis ,j4 ,haber1 of ,new ,york ,city4 ,in this interior1 a fire is blazing on the andirons2 the drowsy dog lies asleep before it2 the hanging lamp sheds a brilliant light over the room1 and furnishes the means of reading which the owner is enjoying1 as he sits in an easy chair1 in lounging-coat and slippers4 ,the rows of books at the far end of the room add to the effect of comfort1 and the motto which envelopes the whole design--,my silent but faithful friends are they--discloses the attitude of the owner towards his volumes4 ,the plate of ,albert ,c4 ,bates1 of the ,connecticut ,historical ,society1 at ,hartford1 is a reproduction of an early woodcut which represents the interior of an old library 7,university of ,leyden1 #afad71 with long rows of books chained to their desks4 ,globes are protected by brass covers1 the patrons salute each other in apparent silence1 and over all there is an air of repression and elevated learning4 ,no seats are provided1 and light is admitted through long windows filled with small lozenge-shaped panes of glass4 ,illustration ,the beautiful colored plate of ,gerald ,e4 ,hart1 of ,montreal1 represents the interior of a cell in some medival monastery2 for the tonsured monk is sitting upon his stone bench1 illuminating a large volume4 ,the ,gothic window admits light through its highly colored design1 and rows of vellum lie beside the desk of the old monk4 ,the plate of ,w4 ,e4 ,baillie1 of ,bridgeport1 ,conn41 represents a corner of a modern library1 furnished in the ,louis ,,xv4 style1 having some half-dozen frolicsome ,cupids1 rolling on the rugs1 peeking out of the window1 reading in arm-chairs1 or discussing the volumes taken from the elaborately carved case4 ,this plate is the second one to make use of the half-tone process direct from the pencil sketch4 ,continuing with the plates which come properly under the classification 8,literary10 we find them to be very numerous1 very various in design1 and very unlike in shape and treatment4 ,a plate which represents the past is used by ,henry ,m4 ,brooks1 of ,salem1 ,mass4 ,in this the old ink-pot and quill1 the box of wafers1 the wax and seal1 and the sand for blotting are disposed about the letter1 which1 being used before the days of postage stamps and envelopes1 bears the amount due and the address upon the back of the sheet4 ,the address seen is that of the owner4 ,illustration3 ,george ,wharton ,edwards ,going still further back in history ,e4 ,irenus ,stevenson has brought the very serpent of the ,garden of ,eden1 with the fatal apple of ,knowledge in his fangs1 into his book-plate4 ,slipping down between the open pages of a large book1 we see this form of his ,satanic ,majesty1 and read upon the apple which he offers ,eritis sicut ,deus1 ,ye shall be as gods4 ,this1 from the ,vulgate1 is in ,latin4 ,upon the open page we read in ,greek1 ,be ye wise as serpents4 ,the ,shekinah blazes out all about the book4 ,a very interesting and striking plate4 ,a very simple but effective reminder of the approach of old age is found in the plate of ,george ,alexander ,macbeth1 of ,pittsburgh1 ,pa4 ,in this1 an open book of coarse print lies upon the table1 accompanied by a large pair of spectacles4 ,the motto appears in the upper left corner1--,give me your favor3 my dull brain was wrought with things forgotten4 ,very many plates have a shelf of books1 or a pile of them1 accompanied with a favorite quotation1 a bust of some author1 the arms of the owner1 or possibly his portrait4 ,in the plate of ,clifford ,julius ,king1 we see the row of books1 the smoke from the waning cigar1 as it rises across the open pages of a book1 and the bust of ,thackeray1 while the motto1 ,a jollie goode booke1 whereon to looke1 is better to me than golde1 is suggestive of long evenings by the fireside1 with choice editions to read and fondle4 ,the shelf of books in the plate of ,nathaniel ,paine1 of ,worcester1 ,mass41 is enclosed within a frame which has suggestions of the heraldic shield4 ,behind it the palm branches are placed1 ,illustration3 ,,marshall ,,clifford ,,lefferts4 and the motto is below1 on a ribbon1--,duce natura sequor4 ,the crest is found in its place above4 8,wrenwood0 is the name of the home of ,george ,e4 ,leighton1 if we may judge by the name which appears on the top of the shield1 which rests against his books just inside the library window4 ,the window is open1 flowers peek around the mullions1 and a wren has hopped upon the sill to examine the surroundings which have borrowed his name for their own4 ,a pile of three books1 labelled ,bacon1 ,lamb1 and 8,punch10 is shown in the plate of ,david ,murray4 ,the legend1 ,some books are to be tasted1 some to be swallowed1 and some to be chewed and digested1 is given on the back of the books4 ,above the volumes1 the scales carrying the heavy pen on one side1 and the lighter sword on the other1 is surmounted by a liberty-cap1 behind which1 in a blaze of glory1 appears the motto1 ,the pen mightier than the sword4 ,in the plate of ,george ,imbrie ,sill1 three shelves of books are enclosed within a frame of scrolls which bear the name4 ,a shield is placed across one end of the case1 with the arms and crest upon it4 ,now we come to a plate which takes us below the surface4 ,a wondrous mermaid1 at the very depths1 flanked by huge dolphins1 is receiving a perfect shower of books1 which come tumbling down through the water4 ,this is the plate of ,h4 ,w4 ,bryant1 of ,portland1 ,me4 ,marshall ,c4 ,lefferts1 of ,new ,york ,city1 uses small leather labels on which an open book bearing his monogram is stamped in gold4 ,different colors of leather are provided for different volumes4 ,this is the only instance of the use of leather for a book-plate in this country1 if ,i mistake not3 a very handsome material1 too1 for the purpose1 and meriting wider use4 ,illustration3 ,,john ,,herbert ,,corning ,in the plate of ,john ,herbert ,corning1 of ,washington1 ,atlas1 with strained muscles1 supports the world of letters4 ,litterae is inscribed upon the immense globe which rests upon his shoulders4 ,two children of the forest1 a boy and a girl1 with flowing hair and meagre garments1 come towards us in the plate of ,a4 ,l4 ,hollingsworth1 of ,boston1 bearing between them a panel on which is carved the motto ,un bon livre est un bon ami4 ,the dense forest is close behind them1 and were it not for the reader1 one feels as if no person would pass their way to see their lofty sentiment4 ,so thick1 indeed1 is the tangle of brush1 that the loss of their clothes must be laid to their passage through it4 ,illustration3 ,dr4 ,geo4 ,l4 ,parmele1 ,hartford4 ,in the plate of ,dr4 ,george ,l4 ,parmelee1 of ,hartford1 a herald in court costume is proclaiming1 through his long trumpet1 the loss of a book4 ,the banner hanging from the horn shows the words he uses3 ,verloren6 ,verloren6 ein ,buch4 ,we are again taken far down below the waves1 in the plate of ,william ,ashmead ,courtenay1 of ,charleston1 ,s4,c4 ,down indeed1 to the very bottom of the ocean1 where the weeds grow1 and the dolphin feeds4 ,above1 the waves are rolling1 and a far stretch of water is seen4 ,the view is enclosed within a square frame which bears the name4 ,the ,rev4 ,wm4 ,r4 ,huntington1 rector of ,grace ,church1 ,new ,york ,city1 uses a design which is adapted from a frontispiece by ,walter ,crane for the 8,fairy ,tales0 of the ,brothers ,grimm1 and which represents a youth1 with long curls falling from under his cap1 opening the door of a house1 with a huge key4 ,upon the roof1 two cupids1 in imminent danger of sliding off1 are making music with lyre and voice4 ,a few stars shine against the night1 and the light of the moon falls across the face of the structure1 revealing the huge orange-trees in fruit1 which flank the doorway4 ,the motto1 ,in veritate victoria1 is carved upon the steps1 and the name ,huntington is given at the very top of the design4 ,other plates whose principal features are 8bookish0 are those of ,henry ,a4 ,morgan1 which has simply a large book1 open1 with blank leaves3 on one is inscribed ,the page in waiting2 of ,edward ,denham1 which has an owl perched upon an open volume1 upon whose pages are the following names1 ,bede1 ,camden1 ,bradford1 ,chaucer1 ,shakspere1 ,sandys1 with the torch of knowledge and the wreath of victory behind it3 the wreath is tied with a ribbon which bears the ,illustration3 ,,john ,e4 ,,russell4 motto--,nulla dies sine linea3 of ,charles ,f4 ,jilson1 ,chicago1 on whose plate simply a closed book is seen1 with a palette resting upon it2 the brush and the drawing tools reveal the art of the owner1 while the half-covered lyre upon the book-cover may be an indication of his hobby2--of ,alfred ,trumble1 of ,new ,york ,city1 who displays a table whereon the bust of ,minerva1 the student-lamp1 the scroll1 ink-stand and quill1 and the books jostle each other in delightful literary confusion2--of the ,hon4 ,john ,e4 ,russell1 of ,boston1 who shows the owl of ,minerva seated upon the books of the scholar3 the globe1 materials for writing1 and the lamp of knowledge are disposed about1 and the whole is encircled by an oval wreath of holly4 ,the plate of ,thomas ,j4 ,mc,kee1 of ,new ,york ,city1 represents a volume of ,shakespeare's ,works1 open to the title-page1 which is occupied principally by a portrait of the famous author playwright4 ,the arms and name appear upon the fly-leaf of the book1 other books are at hand1 and the following lines are given at the foot3-- ,tu mihi currarum requies1 tu nocte rel atra ,lumen1 et in solis tu mihi turba locis4 ,the plate of ,paul ,lemperly1 of ,cleveland1 designed by ,garrett1 shows the open book1 with the serpent circled about it4 ,the stars shine beyond1 and the design is enclosed within a rectangular border of holly leaves4 ,another class of plates which claim attention to-day is that which is representative of either the hobby or the vocation of the owner4 ,for special collections1 for certain kinds of books1 plates are designed which express the particular line of reading1 or of collecting1 which they are to ornament4 ,this style of plate is coming more and more into use1 and earnest pleas have been put forth for its wide adoption2 notably1 one by ,henri ,pene ,du ,bois1 in the 8,book ,lovers' ,almanac10 for #ahid4 ,in his worthy article on the 8,art of the ,book-plate10 this writer argues forcibly for the expression of a genuine idea in the book-plate4 ,not mere coats-of-arms1 crests1 pictorial designs or devices and ornaments which look pretty1 seem to him suitable for use as book-plates1 but an emphatic representation of an idea1 a worthy idea1 clad in suitable form4 ,he argues for special plates for special collections1 for a specific plate for a specific line of books2 not an ornamental label simply1 to be placed in each book in one's library1 but a different plate1 with a reason for its existence1 in each different department4 ,very few1 if any1 in this country1 carry the idea so far2 but many plates are now in use which convey at once an idea of the pursuit of the owner1 whether it be in literature1 art1 science1 or professional life4 ,the plate of ,george ,edward ,sears1 with its grinning skull1 is perhaps at first glance unpleasant in its effect1 but when one comes to unravel the plain meaning of the symbolism1 the shudder dies away1 and we are prepared to regard the plate as one of the very highest types1 and most successful in its way4 ,mr4 ,sears has gathered a large collection of books relating to the 8,dance of ,death10 and finding in ,illustration3 ,paul ,lemperly a #aged edition of ,matthew ,merian's work1 this plate which seemed no part of the series but an impromptu addition1 he adopted it for his book-plate4 ,mr4 ,w4 ,j4 ,linton engraved the block1 reducing considerably from the original4 ,this plate is used only in the books relating to the topic it suggests4 ,in this plate the skull is placed upon an open book1 between a lighted candle and a few flowers in a vase4 ,a wreath encircles the smooth pate1 and an hour-glass rests upon it1 with the hovering wings of ,time1 and the scales1 just above4 ,the lower half of the plate has a very dark background1 while the upper is filled with light4 ,henry ,blackwell1 of ,new ,york ,city1 uses a plate in his collection of ,welshiana which was designed for the purpose4 ,in this plate we see the sturdy oak raised in the centre of the scene4 ,upon the right side1 the bearded ,druid is lopping off the branches of the mistletoe1 which seem to be growing with the oak4 ,opposite to him1 the early ,briton with his harp makes wild music4 ,a circular medallion upon the tree represents the peak of ,snowden1 the highest mountain in ,wales1 and the motto1 ,cared doeth yr encilion1 is given upon the frame4 ,this plate1 like that of ,mr4 ,sears1 was suggested by an illustration in an old book4 ,a second plate is used for the literature upon the famous voyage of ,madoc to our shores in ,a4,d4 #aagj4 ,in this plate we see the old-fashioned1 high-sided ship1 with its bellying sails1 plunging through the rolling waves1 as it passes out to sea with the hardy adventurer and his crew4 ,illustration3 ,dean ,sage4 ,illustration3 ,,ex ,,libris--,,joseph ,h ,,wheeler ,as examples of plates representative of the hobby of their owners1 we have the following3 ,dean ,sage2 an angling plate1 very simple in design and very fine in execution1 with a large trout1 and the rod and the landing net crossed behind it3 an enthusiastic fisherman1 and the author of a sumptuous volume on salmon-fishing in some of the ,canadian rivers1 ,mr4 ,sage uses this plate only in the books of his library which relate to the gentle pursuit favored of ,walton2--,howland2 ,an angling plate of very handsome design3 the shield of arms is surrounded with the implements of the fisherman1 with evidences of his success and with the weeds which grow by the water side3 the motto ,piscator non solum piscator floats on a ribbon above2--,lucius ,poole2 the masks of ,comedy and of ,tragedy are brought together in this plate1 as indicative of the books collected by ,mr4 ,poole2--,arthur ,robinson ,stone3 a folio volume of music is open to the ,largo of the second part of the 8,messiah10 by ,handel1 and is copied from the original score preserved in the ,british ,museum3--in the plate of ,martin ,hayden two ,cupids bear a shield on which the name is given3 each little ,cupid also manages to hold a mask3 the motto1 ,upward1 ,onward4 ,fred ,c4 ,schlaick3 in this we see the uppermost part of a column and its ,corinthian capital4 ,a little ,cupid flies away from the finished piece of work1 carrying the veil which had concealed it from view4 ,this design hardly needs the word ,architect1 which is added just after the name1 to express the profession of the owner4 ,edward ,stratton ,holloway3 in this design1 the owl is perched upon a limb1 with the palette1 brushes1 sketch-book1 and pencils of the illustrator within his clutch4 ,a most happy plate is that of ,mr4 ,richard ,hoe ,lawrence1 which is designed for use only in the library housed at his country seat1 8,oscaleta ,lodge10 and which is mainly botanical4 ,in this plate the partridge-vine1 ,mitchella repens1 is shown in its proper colors1 and is surrounded by a double border of red lines1 within which the motto1 from ,illustration3 ,,fred4 ,c4 ,,schlaich4 ,,architect ,rabelais1 ,fay ce que vouldras1 is given in yellow4 ,the plate was designed by ,miss ,mary ,s4 ,lawrence4 ,for a ,philatelical library1 the plate of ,mr4 ,john ,k4 ,tiffany is exceedingly appropriate1 the design being enlarged from the old and rare ,st4 ,louis ,postmaster's stamp of #ahde4 ,the book-plate was cut on wood by the same man who designed the original stamp4 ,it is an exact fac-simile of the old stamp1 giving the two bears holding between them the circular frame which encloses the arms4 ,a very good example of the ,allegorical book-plate is that of ,george ,h4 ,ellwanger1 of ,rochester4 ,this is designed to illustrate the ,,lxx sonnet of the ,amoretti1 of ,spenser4 ,with all the charming freshness of the early vernal season about her1 we see ,spring1 in graceful drapery1 carrying buds and blossoms in her hands1 and crowned with a wreath of flowers1 approaching us4 ,the garlands1 the numerous birds1 the new leaves upon the trees1 and the sense of warmth in the scene1 clearly depict the meaning of the artist4 ,turning1 now1 to the pictorial plates1 we find their number rather small4 ,decorative features1 bits of landscape and of interiors are found in many plates2 but these little ornamentations do not constitute a real pictorial plate4 ,one of the finest examples is the plate of ,e4 ,g4 ,asay1 of ,chicago4 ,in this we find ourselves intruding upon the councils of the ,muses2 for we see ,art seated upon a throne1 with the palette and brushes idle in her lap1 while about her1 in graceful manner1 recline ,history1 ,music1 and ,literature4 ,the lyre of ,music is quiet1 as1 with her hand affectionately placed upon the shoulder of ,history1 she listens to the reading of the just-inscribed record4 ,art likewise gives interested attention to the recital2 and ,literature1 with her book closed1 leans upon the convenient globe1 and listens4 ,illustration3 ,,chauncey ,,lawrence ,,williams ,wholly different is the plate of ,allen ,wallace4 ,in this1 one of the ,naiad reclines upon the ,illustration3 ,arthur ,robinson ,stone4 over-turned urn1 from which the never-ceasing flow of water falls over the rock1 and slips away in a widening stream4 ,with one hand she caresses the limpid flow1 as it emerges from the urn4 ,at either side1 below her1 two dolphins discharge quantities of water from their mouths into an immense shell which receives the stream from the urn as well4 ,tall sheaves of wheat rise above them1 and directly behind the head of the ,naiad is the motto1 ,nil clarius aquis4 ,mr4 ,h4 ,e4 ,deats1 of ,flemington1 ,n4,j41 has a most beautiful specimen of steel engraving which he uses in his numismatic library4 ,in this1 we see a female figure clad in classic costume1 with a diadem on her brow1 sitting on the clouds1 and having at her side an oval shield1 on which a very important peacock is depicted as using the globe for his perch4 ,on either side1 cornucopi of fruit and flowers barely hold their quantities of produce4 ,the motto1 ,instauratio saeculi felicis1 is placed upon the edge of the shield4 ,the plate of ,frances ,louise and ,charles ,dexter ,allen represents a female figure in classic robes seated upon a stone bench at the foot of tall trees4 ,it is twilight1 and the glint of the weakening light is seen through the leaves4 ,books1 manuscript1 and scrolls are strewn around the solitary figure4 ,the motto1 ,sapientiam veram petimus1 is carved along the top of the wall behind4 ,one arm of the figure is thrown across the top of an open book1 on which the names of the owners are given4 ,this plate was suppressed at the request of the publishers of a magazine in ,new ,york ,city1 as it so closely resembled the design on their cover4 ,illustration3 ,,samuel,,wesley,,marvin ,a very effective plate is that of ,f4 ,w4 ,hoyt1 of ,albany1 ,n4,y4 ,in this an ,ionic column forms the whole design4 ,very beautifully engraved3 the lamp of ,knowledge is continually burning1 and continually fed on the top of the capital1 while the names of the 8,immortals0 are bound around the shaft on a ribbon1--,homer1 ,dante1 ,cervantes1 ,shakespeare1 ,shelley4 ,the name of the owner is carved upon the base4 ,in the plate of ,samuel ,wesley ,marvin1 is depicted the sleeping knight1 to whom come ,illustration3 ,f4,w4 ,,hoyt4 ,pleasure and ,knowledge1 each with her offer of satisfaction and reward4 ,the motto1 ,courage le diable est mort1 is seen on the broad ribbon which is laid about the picture4 ,illustration3 ,v ,a ,the plate of ,adam ,van ,allen1 of ,albany1 is copied from the plate of the brothers ,goncourt1 and represents the left hand with a pair of dividers held by the third and fourth fingers1 while the first and second are placed upon a sheet of paper bearing the initials ,v ,a4 ,several peculiar plates remain to be mentioned1 which belong to no style1 but are examples of the individual taste of the owners1 which is now so marked a feature of book-plate designing4 ,not1 as formerly1 are we controlled as to the style which we shall adopt1 but each book-lover can1 without appearing eccentric1 place whatever design he chooses within his book-covers4 ,the plate of the well-known litterateur1 ,w4 ,irving ,way1 of ,chicago1 is simply a very small bit of paper with his initials in cipher upon it4 ,the plate of ,fred ,j4 ,libbie1 of ,boston1 one of the largest collectors of plates1 is a cryptogrammic arrangement of the letters forming his name4 ,an old plate of ,richard ,hoe ,lawrence caricatures each of his three names3 the first1 by the 8dickey bird02 the second1 by the agricultural implement suggested by the middle name3 and the third1 by a picture of the emaciated ,saint ,lawrence frying over a fire of flaming fagots4 ,as he fries1 he reads from a book entitled1 ,lawrence on ,gridiron4 ,the plate of ,marcus ,benjamin1 of ,new ,york ,city1 is a punning plate1 and represents the gentleman himself riding his hobby-horse1 which is in the form of a big folio4 ,with a long quill for a lance1 and wearing a crucible for a hat1 he rides his horse1 full merrily4 ,the plate of ,j4 ,hiestand ,hartman1 of ,lancaster1 ,pa41 is very curious4 ,in this1 the shield is borne by a skeleton1 who stands erect1 with the lance resting in the right arm4 ,a banner floats from the lance-head1 ribbons rise in profusion on either side1 and the grinning sentinel is enclosed in the fluttering ends4 ,e4 ,a4 ,hitchcock1 of the ,united ,states ,army1 has a plate of peculiar and hidden meaning4 ,in this1 the prominent feature is a huge dragon1 winged1 scaly1 with forked tail and snakelike head4 ,with the end of his tail in his mouth1 he forms a frame of oval form1 and repulsive kind1 for a picture of a little girl1 who seems to be sitting upon a honeycomb1 and who holds a necklace in her left hand4 ,the motto1 ,non nisi ,parvulis1 must contain some reference to the event recorded in the book-plate4 ,illustration3 ,,marcus ,,benjamin4 ,the plate of ,george ,dudley ,seymour has the unusual feature of a large representation of an old door1 with its carved posts1 and pediment of high-boy style4 ,in the centre of the design1 above this1 at the right1 a small view is given of the whole house from which the door is taken1 and in the opposite corner a scroll bears the words3 ,captain ,charles ,churchill1 hys house at ,weathersfield in the ,colony of ,connecticut in ,newe ,england1 #aged-ahhe4 ,this plate is by ,w4 ,f4 ,hopson1 of ,new ,haven1 ,conn41 and is very effective4 ,mr4 ,hopson's own plate is also a very beautiful specimen of his skill4 ,in this1 the central panel is filled with three old folios in aged condition1 tumbled together upon the table4 ,in the upper corners1 a press for plate work and a painting on an easel are seen4 ,below the central space1 a closed portfolio affords space for the record of the number of the volume4 ,about all1 are elaborate scrolls of rustic design4 ,over the space1 a small kettle holds a number of fine brushes1 and the motto is on a ribbon which is well carried through the scrolled sides4 ,the motto is an adaptation of one of older date1 and reads as follows3 ,old books to read1 old prints to scan1 old wood to carve1 old friends to greet4 ,as yet1 we have but one example of the work of ,c4 ,w4 ,sherborn1 the celebrated engraver1 of ,london1 among our ,american book-plates4 ,this is the beautiful plate of ,mr4 ,s4 ,p4 ,avery1 of ,new ,york ,city4 ,this is not heraldic1 but of a decidedly personal bent1 and very indicative of the special lines of collecting to which the owner is devoted4 ,the upper part of the plate is filled with a conventionalized tulip design1 which is extremely rich in appearance and graceful in disposition4 ,a ribbon bearing the name1 ,samuel ,putnam ,avery1 flutters in and out among the curves of the tulip stems and leaves4 ,grouped at the lower edge of the plate are a number of books1 in artistic bindings1 one being noticeable as having a ,grolieresque design4 ,the titles of most of the books can be read1 and among them ,illustration3 ,,george ,,dudley ,,seymour4 are ,de ,bury1 ,shakespeare1 ,goethe1 ,emerson1 ,montaigne1 ,ruskin1 ,bewick1 and ,washington ,irving4 ,rembrandt's 8,three ,trees10 also found among the accessories at the foot1 is indicative of the collector of etchings4 ,the graver1 eye-piece1 cushion1 and block on which the portrait of ,washington is cut1 denote the art of engraving1 and the head of ,minerva1 which rests proudly upon the volume of ,ruskin1 represents the patron of ,art4 ,this plate is a fine example of the peculiar personal flavor which ,sherborn has infused into his revival of this particular kind of ,german work4 ,the grouping of the books at the bottom is excellent1 and the graceful sweeps of the tulip pattern1 as it fills the upper two-thirds of the plate1 are very pleasing4 ,the motto1 ,far more seemly were it for thee to have thy ,study full of ,bookes than thy purse full of money 7,lilly71 is placed beneath the design4 ,two specimens of the work of ,paul ,avril1 for ,american owners1 are of exceeding daintiness and delicacy in design and execution4 ,the plate of ,clarence ,h4 ,clark represents ,venus in gauzy drapery1 with a looking-glass in her hand1 reclining upon a pile of books1 some of which are closed4 ,a fragment of the scroll of a ,chippendale frame1 with one or two roses about1 complete the decoration4 ,the motto1 ,amat victoria curam1 is seen upon the open page of a folio volume4 ,the plate is very light and pretty4 ,in the plate of ,george ,b4 ,de ,forest1 by the same artist1 we are ushered into the library of the owner4 ,here a cherub draws back the curtain1 and affords a view of the treasures upon the well-filled shelves1 not only to the beholder1 but also to a scantily clad female who1 with one foot upon the step of the shelf-ladder1 appears to halt in an ecstasy of delight4 ,an open book on the floor1 and a portfolio standing near the shelves1 complete the accessories4 ,the whole is surrounded by a frame of foliated scrolls4 ,in the plates of ,dr4 ,henry ,c4 ,eno we have examples of the owner's personal skill as an etcher4 ,in one design1 a lighted candle is placed upon a closed book1 which is labelled ,ex ,libris ,volume1 and is presumably filled with rare treasures among our very early ,american plates4 ,the second plate represents a lighthouse1 with rolling waves at its foot4 ,the broad bands of light stream from the lighted lantern1 across the black night4 ,the scene is enclosed within a circular frame4 ,this is set upon a background1 which may represent a fish-net1 and is finally enclosed by a border of rope4 ,a bit of rope tied in a sailor's knot lies under the lighthouse picture1 and supports the name1 ,ex ,libris ,h4 ,c4 ,eno4 ,among collectors1 there has been of recent years a strong desire to secure specimens of the plates of the ladies4 ,in ,england1 where the heraldic features of a lady's plate are required to be in some respects very different from those of the gentleman1 they may be said to constitute a class by themselves4 ,but with us1 while of equal interest1 they do not show any marked difference in their design from the gentlemen's4 ,indeed1 most of them1 if not all1 would serve just as well for one as for the other4 ,the plate of ,charlotte ,cushman1 which is heraldic1 is incorrect1 if judged by the rules of the art4 ,the arms are not in a lozenge1 the crest is given1 and the motto is displayed4 ,but the plate has none the less a deep interest to the ,american collector1 who indeed can well afford to overlook any trifling irregularities which may be pointed out by a student of a science not in vogue with us4 ,habeo pro jus fasque is the motto on the plate4 ,two other heraldic plates are now used by ,american ladies4 ,the plate of ,mrs4 ,e4 ,h4 ,l4 ,barker1 of ,warren1 ,r4,i41 is designed by ,mr4 ,j4 ,mc,n4 ,stauffer1 and is heraldically correct1 in that no crest is given1 and that the frame enclosing the arms is of the required form4 ,however1 the motto is given1 and the animal of the crest is made to do service as a supporter of the rod on which the shield rests4 ,the plate is small1 and very neat in appearance4 ,the plate of ,miss ,jessie ,brewster1 of ,shelton1 ,conn41 is a plain armorial1 displaying the arms claimed by the descendants of ,elder ,william ,brewster of ,massachusetts4 ,another ,rhode ,island plate1 and one which is representative of the hobbies of the owner1 is that of ,mrs4 ,alonzo ,flint1 of ,providence4 ,this is a large plate1 in the centre of which is an arrow-head of flint1 in reference to the name of the owner4 ,in the corners are displayed books1 easel and palette1 violin1 music and #8cello1 and two cathedral spires1--all indicative of the likings and pursuits of the user of the plate4 ,a wreath of ragged chrysanthemums and ivy leaves surrounds the central design1 on which a beehive is placed1 among hollyhocks4 ,this is1 as was intended1 a plate whose every part is illustrative of the interests of the owner1 who was also its designer4 ,illustration3 ,,ex ,,libris4 ,,julia ,,dexter ,,coffin ,the plate of ,mrs4 ,julia ,dexter ,coffin1 of ,windsor ,locks1 ,conn41 was designed and is used wholly for books of music1 or in her library of musical literature4 ,the scene is within the choir of some temple4 ,a flood of light enters the lofty apartment from the open door at the far end of the wall1 and the small diamond panes of the large window reveal nothing of the outside world4 ,seated upon the stone bench1 in the foreground1 clad in classic robes1 a member of the chorus1 inspired by some longing1 has come alone1 to pour forth her feelings in song4 ,the lyre in her hands is of old and ornamental design4 ,behind her1 upon the wall1 runs a dado on which the sacred dance is pictured2 and above this a large mural painting can be seen4 ,in the niche by the door stands a statue of ,terpischore4 ,the sound of the music seems to fill the room4 ,purely decorative1 and having no particular meaning beyond illustrating the motto1 is the plate of ,ophelia ,fowler ,duhme4 ,the motto1 ,inter folia fructas1 is given at the top of the plate1 and the strawberry plant1 bearing both flower and fruit1 fills the whole space below4 ,two ,cupids disport themselves among sweet roses1 in the plate of ,frances ,louise ,allen4 ,in the plate of ,margaret ,m4 ,miller1 a cherub1 with the hair in a ,psyche knot1 sits upon a closed book1 and inscribes the names of the 8,immortals0 upon a scroll4 ,in the plate of ,miss ,ada ,stewart ,shelton1 of ,derby1 ,conn41 the motto1 ,plus penser que dire1 is given with the name and a single pansy blossom within a rectangular frame which has pansies at each corner4 ,in the plate of ,mary ,bayliss1 we have a frame of ,chippendale tendency4 ,the scrolls are edged with shell-work1 and the flowers are free and natural4 ,very interesting and successful work in designing and engraving book-plates is now being done by ,mr4 ,e4 ,d4 ,french1 of ,new ,york ,city1 ,mr4 ,e4 ,h4 ,garrett1 of ,winchester1 ,mass41 and by ,mr4 ,w4 ,f4 ,hopson1 of ,new ,haven1 ,conn41 all of whom are represented in this volume by prints from the original coppers4 ,illustration ,illustration3 ,,francis ,,wilson ,,american ,,collectors ,,and ,,collections4 ,illustration3 ,collectors of book-plates are not very numerous in the ,united ,states2 but1 small as their number is1 it has reached the present figure almost at a bound1 for we now count about seventy1 who are collecting1 while1 four years ago1 there were scarcely a score4 ,a survey of our collections shows that all are particularly interested to collect ,american plates4 ,the early ,american examples are few1 and daily becoming scarcer1 as the search for them grows hotter1 and the competition between prospective owners increases4 ,the scarcity and value of our early specimens are not appreciated fully by our brother-collectors over the sea1 nor is our national pride in keeping them within our borders realized4 ,having so few1 we cannot be lavish with the rare examples we are able to find2 and so it comes about that the demand for our plates is not met as it once was4 ,the book-plates of our ancestors are not so easily found as are those of the past generation in the older countries4 ,books were fewer here1 devastation by fire and pillage has ruined much that we lament over1 and the good old plates turn up but rarely now4 ,our collections are not large as compared with the gigantic aggregations which we hear of as being made in ,england4 ,think of one collector having one hundred thousand specimens6 ,the largest collection here will not exceed six thousand1 and those next nearest to that fall some two thousand behind it4 ,our collections are good1 representative of the best foreign styles and dates1 and do not include much that is valueless4 8,small1 if need be1 in numbers1 but excellent in quality10 would seem to be the maxim of those who collect over here4 ,german plates1 particularly of the oldest engravers1 ,french plates1 and the ,english plates of men of prominence1 are well represented4 ,plain heraldic plates are not held in high esteem1 while the ,pictorial1 ,literary1 ,library ,interior1 and ,ladies' plates are all sought for4 ,among the very first to enter the field as a collector of book-plates in the ,united ,states was the late ,james ,eddy ,mauran1 of ,newport1 ,r4,i4 ,mr4 ,mauran was a ,new ,yorker by birth1 the son of a ,west ,india merchant4 ,he was a painstaking collector1 a close student1 and a man fully acquainted with the foreign languages1 and the literature of the times he felt an especial interest in4 ,while deeply interested in other lines of research and collecting1 he found time to gather a good collection of ,american and foreign book-plates1 which were mounted with the nicety and taste shown in all branches of his collecting4 ,at the time of his death1 in #ahhh1 he had about #cejj plates in all1 and they were appraised by ,mr4 ,hewins1 a friend of ,mr4 ,mauran1 at three hundred dollars1 and were sold to a ,philadelphia gentleman4 ,mr4 ,mauran had a way of mounting his plates which was original and unique4 ,he pasted them down on pieces of marbled paper1 and other kinds of paper used in the ornamental binding of books4 ,he was at pains to obtain from binders1 stationers1 and booksellers all the pieces of paper of this kind that could be found1 in order to have as many different mounts as possible4 ,these papers were all mounted on stiffer white paper1 and formed a good substantial ground for the final mounting4 ,his titled plates were mounted on gold and silver paper2 and the ladies' plates on bits of silk1 damask1 satin1 or old pieces of brocade and other things pertaining to ladies' wear4 ,the ,american plates were mounted on the older styles of marbled papers1 and on fancy patterns and colors in use years ago4 ,they were numbered on the back1 and were kept in alphabetical order4 ,very often the back of the mount was covered with notes about the owner of the plate4 ,portraits1 autographs1 views of houses1 and sketches of the owners from newspapers1 were also mounted and placed with the plate they were identified with4 ,the plates were kept in old book-covers of fine1 polished calf1 beautifully tooled on the back and edges4 ,an interesting history is connected with these covers4 ,mr4 ,john ,austin ,stevens1 of ,new ,york1 had made a fine collection of the poetry1 ballads1 and romances of the medival ages1 which was bound in the sumptuous style mentioned4 ,upon the occasion of a visit to ,europe1 ,mr4 ,mauran1 who was a friend of ,mr4 ,stevens1 saw them carefully packed in boxes1 which were deposited in the vaults of the ,chamber of ,commerce building in ,new ,york1 and insured for ten thousand dollars4 ,during the absence of the owner1 the negro janitor of the building broke open the boxes1 and1 tearing out the insides of the treasured volumes1 sold them for waste paper6 ,portions were recovered2 but the covers were of no further use as originally intended1 and they fell to ,mr4 ,mauran1 who used them to hold his book-plates4 ,this collection was quite rich in the early plates of ,america2 for ,mr4 ,mauran1 being well-nigh the first in the field1 had the cream of collecting for some time1 and was able to secure plates which now are not to be had4 ,not very long ago1 this collection changed hands again1 as the first purchaser1 having no time to make use of the plates1 was willing to sell them to some collector who could make them of greater use among others interested in the same topic4 ,in some way the collection became disrupted1 and parts of it are owned by different collectors4 ,mr4 ,e4 ,n4 ,hewins is one of the older collectors among us4 ,mr4 ,hewins has a very interesting album of ,american plates1 in which a goodly number of the rarer specimens find a resting-place4 ,other albums are used for the foreign examples1 and the number of plates in the collection places it well up towards the head of the list of large and valuable collections4 ,the plates are classified by styles4 ,mr4 ,richard ,c4 ,lichtenstein1 of ,boston1 has a large collection of book-plates4 ,a part of his collection is arranged alphabetically in a large quarto bound in brown morocco1 with gold tooling1 and made especially for the purpose with leaves of very thin tinted paper4 ,individual mounts are also used4 ,this collection is one of the largest and probably the best1 as regards ,americana1 of all in the ,united ,states4 ,another ,boston collector who has been collecting for some time1 and who has a valuable collection1 is ,mr4 ,fred ,j4 ,libbie4 ,mr4 ,libbie has a copy of ,warren1 most beautifully bound in crushed levant1 which is extra-illustrated by the insertion of rare original plates1 autograph letters1 portraits1 and views4 ,the volume is extended to fully three times its original thickness1 and is an elegant specimen of the book-binders' art1 as well as a most valuable storehouse of fine book-plates4 ,other works on the subject of book-plates are in process of extra-illustration by ,mr4 ,libbie1 who is an enthusiastic collector1 confining himself to no specialties1 but making an excellent collection in all lines4 ,the largest collection of plates is that belonging to ,mr4 ,h4 ,e4 ,deats1 of ,flemington1 ,n4,j4 ,this industrious collector1 while a rather new comer1 has distanced all the older men1 and1 being the owner of the bulk of the ,mauran collection1 has some very fine examples1 as well as large numbers1 to boast of4 ,dr4 ,henry ,c4 ,eno1 of ,saugatuck1 ,conn41 has a large and valuable collection mounted in volumes bound in full levant4 ,we number among our collectors several ladies1 and it is earnestly to be hoped that here1 as in ,england1 we may have plates designed by lady artists4 ,probably the earliest lady collector is ,mrs4 ,richard ,j4 ,barker1 of ,warren1 ,r4,i41 who has several albums filled with good plates1 and who has contributed an interesting article on the subject of early ,american plates to the literature of our topic4 ,other ladies who are collecting are ,miss ,helen ,e4 ,brainerd1 of ,columbia ,college ,library2 ,mrs4 ,c4 ,h4 ,duhme1 of ,cincinnati2 ,mrs4 ,e4 ,m4 ,gallaudet1 of ,washington2 and ,miss ,louise ,fitz1 of ,newton ,centre1 ,mass4 ,the mounting and arrangement of plates are vexed questions among collectors4 ,the really satisfactory method has not yet been discovered4 ,many ways are tried2 and experience shows that while one may at different times think he has found the very best way1 its disadvantages are sure to appear1 and a new method will be looked for4 ,mr4 ,e4 ,h4 ,bierstadt1 of ,new ,york1 keeps his collection in large albums constructed for the purpose4 ,the leaves are of double thicknesses of heavy calendered manilla paper4 ,the plates are pasted down on mounts of a stiff white ledger paper1 and are then placed in the book1 four to the page1 by slipping the corners of the mounts into slits cut for the purpose in the page4 ,this allows the easy readjustment1 the easy exchange of a poor specimen for a better one1 the re-placing of a plate wrongly classed1 and the extension of alphabetical arrangement ad infinitum4 ,the appearance of the volume is handsome4 ,mr4 ,henry ,blackwell1 of ,new ,york1 is mounting all his plates on rather large sheets of a stiff paper1 of a dark tint1 which shows off the plates to good advantage4 ,they are arranged in alphabetical order1 and are kept in neat wooden boxes4 ,the plates of ,mr4 ,pickering ,dodge1 of ,washington1 ,d4,c41 are mounted on a dove-colored mount1 which is an advantageous tint4 ,the plates are arranged according to styles4 ,this collector1 however1 is about to change to albums4 ,mr4 ,nathaniel ,paine1 of ,worcester1 ,mass41 has his plates mounted directly upon the pages of an album made for them4 ,portraits1 views1 etc41 are also interspersed4 ,the present writer used originally the individual mount2 but becoming dissatisfied with that method1 because of injury by careless handling1 adopted the albums1 using in both instances the 8hinges0 of the stamp collector to fasten the plates down with4 ,he is now changing back to the individual-mount plan1 as it admits of more freedom in comparison1 easy changes1 and the better display of the collection1 either to a few1 or to an audience4 ,the larger part of our collectors do not mount their plates at all1 or have any system of arranging them4 ,they are kept in odd envelopes1 boxes1 between the leaves of books1 or in a desk-drawer1 and there await the new arrival1 or the shaking up incident to the search for a particular specimen4 ,this is ruinous4 ,the larger part of our collectors are members of the ,ex ,libris ,society1 of ,england1 while many have also joined the societies in ,france and ,germany4 ,no ,american ,society has as yet been seriously proposed4 ,a ,,list ,,of ,,american ,,members ,,of ,,the ,,ex ,,libris ,,society4 ,charles ,dexter ,allen ,hartford1 ,conn4 ,g4 ,a4 ,armour

has kindly followed us1 and to re-assert as a parting word1 that this work does not aspire to cover every point which collectors may wish to have decided4 ,its modest purpose will be served if any reader is led to take an interest in the subject1 if collectors find it useful as an assistant in intelligent collecting1 or an instigation to further and more careful research4 ,undoubtedly1 there lie in old garrets1 book-cases1 and forgotten cupboards1 dust-covered books1 in which some fortunate searcher will one day discover plates as yet unknown4 ,it is hoped that any such will publish their success for the benefit of the steadily increasing number who find something interesting in these memorials of the past1 and who take pleasure in their preservation and pride in their possession4
