Henry Dawkins, in Philadelphia, came over from England, and so did the elder Maverick, who made so many plates for the New Yorkers. [Illustration: George C. M. Roberts, M.D.] The literary plates are smaller in number than we could wish, and they do not show a wide range of ideas either. Very probably some of the designs were borrowed from English plates, and were produced over again for different customers, or were freely copied by other engravers who liked, or who found customers who liked, the design of others. The plate used by _George Goodwin_ is one of four of this same design. The shelf of books is also seen in the plate of _G. C. M. Roberts, M.D._, _Thomas Robbins_, and the [Illustration: MORAL LIBRARY YALE COLLEGE] _Elijah F. Reed_, which is a direct reproduction of the _Robbins_. Piles of books, but not the regulation “Book-pile,” are seen in the _Brown_ and _Lewis_ plates, while the only real library interiors are the _Tayloe_ plate, the _Moral Library_ and the _Village Library_ (Farmington, Conn.). John Allan, the old-book lover of New York, used a plate with an open book against an anchor, and the plate of _Edmund Penn_ shows a love for books in the dainty volumes disposed about the frame. [Illustration: Elijah F. Reed’s] The patriotism of our book-lovers is shown in very many designs, which use the American flag or the eagle. The thirteen stars also, the motto of the United States, and various private mottoes of a very patriotic nature, are frequently used. 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 owner; that is, speaking of the armorial plates, the printed name labels give these particulars quite often. [Illustration: Jared Ingersoll Esq^{r}. of New Haven Connecticut.] The _Jared Ingersoll_ plate gives _New Haven_ as the residence of the owner, while _Rhode Island_ follows the name on the plate of _Samuel Elam_. Other Northern plates which are so engraved are the _Colonel Eustace of New York_, _Comptroller Elliston_ also _of New York_, _Lenox of Philadelphia_, _Atlee of Lancaster_, _John Franklin, Boston, New England_, and _Robert Hale of Beverly_. Of the Southern plates, _Wormeley_, _Waller_, _Tuberville_, _Tazewell_, _Skelton_, _Randolph_, and _Ludwell_ [Illustration: John Walters Gibbs.]
