The above verse is printed from type and enclosed in a border of
ornamental type.
651. PEASE. _Oliver Pease, Owner._
Pictorial. Motto, _Read and return_. Of Suffield, Conn. A physician.
Date probably about 1800. Very similar to the Sally King, which see for
a description.
652. PEASE. _Oliver Pease, Owner._
Pictorial. Motto, _Read and return_. A variety of the above, in which
but one-half of the compass is shown, and a tessellated floor is laid
under the pillars.
653. PELL. _William F. Pell._
Crest only. Motto, _Deus amici et nos_.
654. PENN. _Edmd. Penn._
Pictorial. A number of books rest upon a shelf; with them, an
hour-glass, a sickle, and two sheaves of wheat; a wreath of oak leaves
and palm is erected above them, and the name is given upon a scroll
which falls over the edge of the shelf. Signed, _T. Baddick_.
655. PENN. _Thomas Penn of Stoke Pogeis in the County of Bucks First
Proprietor of Pensilvania._
Early English. Arms and motto as in the succeeding plate, that of his
father. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 14.
656. PENN. _William Penn Esqr Proprietor of Pennsylvania. 1703._
Armorial. Early English. Full mantling enveloping the whole shield.
Motto, _Dum clavum teneam_. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 13.
[Illustration: William Penn Esq. Proprietor of Pensylvania: 1703]
657. PENN. (Anonymous.) Penn arms.
Supposed to be the plate of Thomas Penn, the son of William. The volume
in which the only copy of this plate has been seen has the autograph of
J. Logan, and the statement that the book was given to him by Thomas
Penn. The William Penn plate is also in the book.
658. PENNINGTON. _Pennington._
Plain armorial. Motto, _Vincit amor patriae_. Of Pennsylvania.
659. PENNINGTON. _Edward Pennington._
Name-label; engraved. Festoon above, and sprays of palm and grape-vine
below.
660. PENNINGTON. _Edward Pennington. Philadelphia._
Pictorial. A reservoir, from which the water is escaping, is
overshadowed by palms of some kind. The significance of this design is
mysterious. Signed, _J. J. Plocher. Sc._
661. PENNINGTON. _T. H. Pennington._
The name is printed from type within a circular frame which is engraved.
The peculiarity of the plate is that after the abbreviation _No._ for
the number of the volume, the word _Plates_ is given. Whether this was
to be erased in volumes which were not illustrated, or the number of
illustrations was to be given in those which had them, is hard to say.
662. PENNSYLVANIA. _The Historical Society of Pennsylvania._
Armorial. The arms of William Penn impaling those of the state. Motto,
_Dum clavum teneam_.
663. PENNSYLVANIA. _The Historical Society of Pennsylvania._
A very handsome steel engraving of the coat-of-arms of the state of
Pennsylvania. Motto, _Virtue, Liberty and Independence_. Another variety
of this plate is intended as a gift-plate.
664. PEPPERELL. (Anonymous.) Sir William Pepperell.
