BOSTON. _Shakspeare Circulating Library, Charles Callender, No. 25 School Street, Boston._ A very curious old woodcut, with a large oval medallion of the famous writer for whom the library was named placed in the centre against a rough rock background; the masks of Comedy and Tragedy lie at the foot, and the hilts of foils can be made out; a garland of roses falls at the right hand, and the rays of the sun come over the top. This is a rough engraving, very black and indistinct.
94. BOSTON. _Social Law Library. Boston._ The name appears on a curtain looped up and held by cord and tassel; above this a small oval encloses a view of four waterspouts, each from behind a rock; above this the circular frame encloses a hand bearing a lighted torch; on the frame is the motto, _Vestra cura alitur_, and the date 1804; a pile of books above for crest, with _S.L.L._ on the cover of one.
95. BOUCHER. _Jonathan Boucher._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto, _Non vi sed voluntate_. A Loyalist clergyman in Virginia, whose estates were confiscated, after which he returned to England whence he had come in 1754.

Illustrated in “Curio,” page 111.
97. BOWDOIN. _Honble. James Bowdoin. Esqr._ Plain armorial. Motto, _Ut aquila versus coelum_. The same plate as the Bowdoin College, whose benefactor he was.
98. BOWDOIN. _Bowdoin College._ Plain armorial. The arms of the Hon. James Bowdoin are given with his motto, _Ut aquila versus coelum_. The sun in splendor shines above the crest, and the name of the college is engraved over it. This college was chartered in 1794, and then presented with eleven hundred pounds and one thousand acres of land, by Hon. James Bowdoin, son of the governor of the colony. By his will a further gift was made to the college.
99. BOYLSTON. _Boylston Medical Library._ Plain armorial. The arms of the Boylston family are given without ornamentation or motto. Signed, _Annin & Smith_.

His chief work is the “History of Maryland to the Restoration in 1660.” An “Historical and Philosophical Sketch of the Prime Causes of the Revolutionary War” was suppressed; in this Washington was praised and Franklin depreciated. This same copper has been used more recently with the following words added: on either side of the crest, “John Leeds Kerr of Talbot Co. Md. 15th Jan. 1780, 21st Feb. 1844;” at the bottom, under the name of Bozman, “The Maryland Historian, 25th Aug. 1757, 20th April, 1823.”
102. BRASHER. _Philip Brasher._
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _Beata Domus, Custodita Sic Cuja Deo Domino Est_. The shield, with its motto-ribbon and flowery ornamentation, seems to be held up by the winged female who grasps the portcullis of the crest. Below the shield a patch of ground is strewn with books and writing material. A dwarfed weeping willow bends mournfully at the left. Signed on an unrolled sheet of paper, _Maverick Scp._ Was a prisoner in a sugar-house in New York during the Revolutionary War, which suggested the crest; he had no right to the arms.

110. BROWN. _The Property of Jacob Brown._ Pictorial. The interior of a library is depicted, within an oval frame which is ornamented above with a ribbon and a spray of holly; the name is given on the fluttering ends of the ribbon. The central portion of the library is occupied by a couch, covered with striped cloth, on which a youth, dressed in the height of the fashion, reclines; a book is laid upon the convenient corner of the table, and he is reading from this; behind him the shelves of books are seen partly covered by a curtain; through the window are seen the nodding pines; the carpet is adorned with thirteen stars. The following lines are given below the frame:--
_Weigh well each thought, each sentence freely scan,_ _In Reason’s balance try the works of man;_ _Be bias’d not by those who praise or blame,_ _Nor, Servile, Yield opinion to a Name._
Signed, _Engrd. by P. R. Maverick 65 Liberty Street_. As the name _Jacob Brown_ is not engraved, but is printed by hand, it is quite likely that this plate was for promiscuous use; either to be filled up with the name of any who ordered it, or to be pasted in the books sold by some bookseller.
111. BROWN. _John Carter Brown._ Crest only. Motto, _Gaudeo_.
112. BROWN. _Thomas Brown._
Armorial. Arms, ... on a chevron, between three leopards’ heads cabossed, or as many escallops.... Crest, an eagle’s head erased or. Motto, _En espérance je vie_. Signed by Hurd.

116. BRUFF. _The Property of J. G. Bruff, Portsmouth, Va. 183-._ Pictorial. On this, a weeping elm supports a large shield on which the inscription is given; so large is the shield that only a little of the tree shows around the edge of the shield. A woodcut.
117. BUCHANAN. _W. B. Buchanan._
Armorial. Motto, _Clarior hinc honos_.
118. BULL. _Martin Bull._

123. BYRD. _William Byrd of Westover in Virginia Esqr._
Armorial. Jacobean. A very interesting specimen of its class. The profuse mantling thrown high in the air, the shell-lined background, and the curtain upheld at the ends (on which the name and address are given) are prominent characteristics as pointed out by Warren. A rich abundance of fruit overflows from two cornucopiæ, and the motto-ribbon is twined in and out through the scrolls at the base. Motto, _Nulla pallescere culpa_. Colonel Byrd was a very distinguished Virginian: was born to an ample fortune, liberally educated, and became the patron of science and literature in his native state. President of the Council of the colony; author of the “Westover Manuscripts,” and of other essays. Born, 1674; died, 1744. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 14.
124. CABELL. _Doct.r Geo. Cabell Richmond Virga._ Allegorical. In the centre of the design a flaming heart rests upon the shank of an anchor. A thin patch of ground, which grows a few trees, and looks like an island, upholds these emblems of hope. The motto is just above,--_Spes mea in Deo_. Above this again the all-seeing eye, wreathed in clouds, appears. The whole is enclosed in a design of Ribbon and Wreath arrangement. Evidently the work of Brooks, who engraved the plate of Dr. I. Dove of the same city.
125. CABELL. _Samuel Jordan Cabell, of Soldier’s Joy._ Pictorial. The name is printed from type upon a large oval medallion; this is supported by the half-draped figure of Liberty holding the pole with the cap upon it, and an officer in the uniform of the Continental Army.

162. CLARK. _D. Lawrence Clark._

170. CLEVELAND. _Stephen Cleveland._
Pictorial. A very unusual plate: a full-rigged British man-of-war, with ten guns peering from the loop-holes, is hastening from the observer; the English ensign flies from the stern.

177. COLUMBIA COLLEGE. _Columbia College Library New York._
Allegorical. The scene is out-of-doors; a throne placed on rising ground is occupied by the Goddess of Learning; the Shekinah blazes above and the rising sun peeps over the horizon. Three little nude beginners in learning stand before the Goddess, in whose hand an open book is extended bearing the motto, Λογια Ζὡνζα. From her mouth a scroll issues bearing in Hebrew the motto, אוריאר _Let there be light_. Beneath this scene is the reference _I Pet.

181. CONSTABLE. _William Constable._
Plain armorial. Motto, _Post tot Naufragia portus_. Of the early New York family that owned large estates near Utica, N.Y. This plate is circa 1783 and was engraved in New York. It is interesting as a specimen of twisted heraldry; the correct arms are “Quarterly, gu. and vaire, over all a bend or.” (Flamburgh. Co. York, descended from Robert De Lacy, second son of John De Lacy, Baron of Halton, and Constable of Chester). See Burke. In this plate the arms are “Quarterly vaire and gu. over all a bend sinister or.,” which are manifestly incorrect. It was not probably the purpose of the engraver to make this alteration, but not understanding heraldic drawing he drew the arms correctly on the copper, which reversed them in the print.
182. COOLEY. _Abial A. Cooley’s Property._
An elaborate plate of its kind, which is unusual; it is regular die-sinker’s work, and is printed in red ink. The word _Property_ is on a ribbon which is arched over a peacock and a dove; scrolls abound in convenient places. The only copy seen is in a Boston imprint. 1742.
