Part 15
Armorial. Chippendale. Signed, _H. Dawkins_. Sc.

Supporters, two men in complete armor, their beavers open, three ostrich feathers on the helmets, their breasts charged with a cross, and in the exterior hand a lance. Crest, a virgin queen, couped at the shoulders, hair dishevelled, and crowned with an Eastern crown. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 14.
898. VIRGINIA COUNCIL CHAMBER. (Anonymous.)
Armorial. Below the arms, which are the same as those in the preceding plate, is a scene within the Council Chamber, evidently, as the members are around the table, and are being addressed by one of their number. The framework which supports this is Chippendale in construction, the armed supporters stand upon the upper part, and the very lowest panel is occupied by the 249th line of the first book of Homer’s “Illiad,” Του και ἁπο γλὡσσης μἑλιτος γλυκἱων ῥἑεν αὑδἡ. Signed, _Dent--Sculpt. Bull Alley, Lombard Street. London_. The design of the plate is attributed to Samuel Wale, R.A. See “The Book-plate Annual and Armorial Year Book,” 1894. London, A. & C.

912. WASHINGTON. _Bushrod Washington._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto, _Exitus acta probat_. Nephew of the President, to whom Mount Vernon descended. This plate is almost identical with the Whitebread plate by Dawkins. The dragon changes places with the long spray of flowers, otherwise they are the same. It is not known whether Dawkins did this plate or not, but presumably he copied the other from this, which is likely to have been an imported plate. It is not at all an uncommon type among the English plates.
913. WASHINGTON. _George Washington._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto, _Exitus acta probat_. First President of the United States.
914. WATERHOUSE. _John Waterhouse. Halifax._

Armorial. Chippendale. No motto. Of Massachusetts.
930. WHITE. _Daniel A. White._

Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _Amicitia cum libertate_. Signed, _Rollinson Sculpt._
936. WILLIAMS. _Gulielmi Williams ex Insula Antigua._
Armorial. Pictorial. A beautiful granite canopy is erected on the shore of the island; a view of the sea is afforded, and the palmetto-trees yield a grateful shade; at the foot of the stone-work are grouped a globe, scrolls, telescope, compasses, books, sextant, and drawing instruments--significant of the tastes of the owner; the arms are carved upon the face of the stone, and the crest is protected by a hood of graceful design; flowers in long garlands are trailed over the monument. Signed, _S. Ingram fecit a Paris_. A very beautiful plate.
937. WILLIAMS. _Johannes Williams His Book. 1679._
The oldest dated book-plate we have; probably the plate of the first minister of Deerfield, Mass., whose house was raided by the Indians. A printed label.
938. WILLIAMS. _John Williams, Esqr._
Armorial. Late Jacobean. Motto, _Floriferis ut apes in saltibus omnia libant omnia nos_. Born, Wethersfield, Conn., Sept. 11, 1762; Yale, 1802; died, 1840. This plate bears some resemblance to the plates of Elijah Backus and Daniel Waldo, both in design, size, and execution.

Armorial. Chippendale. Exactly like the succeeding, and probably the same copper with the name changed.
946. WILSON. _James Wilson._
Armorial. Chippendale. No motto. Very handsome plate in the style of Hurd’s best design; a border is added, which is unusual with him, and it is twined with garlands of roses, and has shells in the corners.
947. WILSON. _John Wilson, Barbadoes._
Armorial. Pictorial. The scene is in the tropics; a cornucopia pours its riches of fruit upon the ground, just below the oval shield, which is steadied by a winged cherub, who gazes off into the clouds; the background shows trees, an expanse of water, and either icebergs or snow-capped mountains.
948. WILSON. _John Wilson, Kingston. Jamaica._

956. WORCESTER. _The Property of the Worcester Circulating Library Company._

The supporters stand upon the name-frame. Of New York.
961. WYNKOOP. _C. C. Wynkoop._
Same arms as the above. Of New York.

964. YALE COLLEGE. _The Property of the Brothers in Unity, Yale College._
Allegorical. Bordered by an oblong frame, the name is given in the centre of the design, with this verse below,
_Friendship and Science thus combine To aid and honour our design: With us unite an equal claim, And share alike the social name._
Above, on a ribbon bearing the motto, _E parvis oriunter magna_, two grinning females mutually support a circular frame, in which the crowd of Brothers is seen walking bareheaded under a powerful sun. _Omnes in uno concordia_ is on the frame. The supporters doubtless depict Friendship and Science. A pile of books between them completes the inventory. Signed, _Wm. Taylor Deln. A. Doolittle Sculpt._
965. YALE COLLEGE. _Brothers in Unity._
Allegorical. Under the name the following lines are given:--
_Hermes eloquio potens recludit Fontes, ecce, suos: et ampliora Vena Pierii fluunt liquores: Atque arces reserat suas Minerva._
Above is a delightful engraving. Minerva helmeted and robed but without the spear, attended by Hermes, calls the attention of the approaching group of young men to the pile of books on the ground before them, and also to Demosthenes, who on the near-by sea-shore is declaiming vociferously to the rolling waves. Signed, _E. Tisdale Del. S. S. Jocelyn Sc._
966. YALE COLLEGE. _Brothers in Unity._
Allegorical. Beneath the name, which supports itself in mid-air, Minerva (?) is seated, and is directing the efforts of two cherubs who are at work on geographical and architectural problems, as evidenced by the globe and capital before which each bends; to them comes a third cherub, and, alighting on the capital before one of the cherubs, holds out a scroll on which is written ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ. The goddess calls the attention of the other cherub to this message. Architectural features abound in the distance. Signed, _O. Pelton. Sc._
967. YALE COLLEGE. _This book belongs to the Linonian Meeting._
A view of the college chapel and one of the halls is shown within a loop of a ribbon which runs across the top of the plate; on the ribbon, _Concordia societatis nostra vinculum est_. Two clasped hands below the name are enclosed by a ribbon, on which is the word, Amicitia. Rude quirks and flourishes are introduced, and the whole appearance of the plate is rough.
968. YALE COLLEGE. _Linonian Library, Yale College._
Allegorical. In the immediate foreground a youth, with some uncertainty in his air, submits to be led by the hand of Minerva, who turns to cheer him, and points to the temple of Fame crowning the summit of the hill, up whose tortuous sides the path they are pursuing leads; Father Time, with discouraged mien, head resting on his hand, sits upon the globe amid the ruin of architectural fragments, grasping his faithful scythe in the right hand; the temple of Fame is surmounted by an angel, who is blowing mightily on the trumpet of the goddess who presides over the shrine; the word _Immortalitas_ is inscribed across the entablature; just over the youth and Minerva, in a cloudy swirl, three cherubs hold aloft a sheepskin, on which is seen _LINONIA Sept. 12. 1753. Quiescit in perfecto_. Above all this a heart-shaped shield is divided into five parts, which hold a pelican in her piety, a book-case, a dove on the olive branch, the phœnix rising from the fire, and a puppy dog, whose meaning is uncertain. Scrolls about the shield bear the motto, _Amicitia concordia soli noscimus_. A cherub’s face peers over the shield. Signed, _Doolittle Sc. 1802_.
969. YALE COLLEGE. _Presented to the Linonian Society by...._
Allegorical. The name is on a curtain draped beneath the picture of the advancing Minerva, who, helmeted, robed, and with spear in hand, is seen approaching, and apparently speaking as she comes; behind her, seated by a pile of books, an attendant maid reclines against an urn of flowers, and with a sun-glass draws the rays of the sun into strong focus upon a scroll which brings into plain sight the word _Yale_. Signed, _G. Fairman_.
970. YALE COLLEGE. _Moral Library Yale College._
Library interior. The librarian is seated by the desk, on the front panel of which the name is carved; an open book is in his right hand; a large globe before him, and shelves of books behind him; through the open door, which appears to be some distance off, across the tessallated floor, a group of students, headed by a professor in flowing robes, is seen. Over the door the name, _Moral Society_, is placed. Above all, the motto, _Virtus et scientia ad utilitatem dirigunt_.
971. YALE COLLEGE. _Philotechnian Library._
Pictorial. The front of a Greek temple is seen with the space in front of it filled with the emblems and implements of the arts and sciences. The date, _1795_, is seen on a shield in the centre; probably the date of the founding of the library. Signed, _Jos. Perkins sc N. York_.
972. YATES. _Christr. C. Yates._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto, _Ne parcas nec spernas_. Very rough work, and hardly worthy to be classed as Chippendale. Illustrated in “Art Amateur,” March, 1894.
973. YATES. _Peter W. Yates. Esqr._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto, _Ne parcas nec spernas_. Signed, _H. D. sc._ Of New York.

977. YOUNG. _William Young._
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _Labore_. This plate has very flowing mantling, which terminates at either side in eagles’ heads; from their beaks depend the slight festoons which place the plate in the Ribbon and Wreath class.
978. UNIDENTIFIED. (Name defaced.) _Property of......... Bookbinder, U. S. A._
Pictorial. An open book; on the first page, a cradle; on the second, a coffin; behind the book, a sword, quill, and anchor. The following mottoes are used:--

_Ah, when the dream of life shall be passed, what will have availed all its agitation, if it leave not one trace of utility behind?_ VOLNEY.
_Crescit amor nummi. Stultum est in alieno foro sigitare._
A very rude woodcut.
979. UNIDENTIFIED. (Name defaced.)
Pictorial. An eagle soars aloft, bearing an oval frame with the name of the owner upon it; the broad rays of the sun behind the eagle light up the pine trees on the distant hill-tops. In the lower right-hand corner the smoke rises from the chimney of a house whose roof is just visible, shaded by a peculiar tree.
980. UNIDENTIFIED. (Name defaced.)
Pictorial. An eagle holding a small United States shield in his beak, and a ribbon on which the United States motto is given, _E pluribus unum_. In the oval beneath, _Use this carefully and return it immediately_. A Bible under all. Signed, _W. Barber. Sculpt._

Arms, Vert three garbs ppr. Crest, a swarm of bees about a hive. Chippendale. Motto, _Libertas et patria mea_. Signed, _H. Dawkins Sculpt._
982. UNIDENTIFIED. Pictorial.
Within an oval frame we see the interior of a large room, which might be a library but looks more like a school-room; seated at a desk in the centre of the room is a man in the elaborate costume of the gentleman of the last century; books are before him, and on the floor beside him; a large globe is at hand; the appearance of the seated scholar is that of a professor waiting for his class to file in. The name is given upon a ribbon which is tied above, but it has been cut out of the specimen at hand. Signed, _A. Godwin. Sculp._
