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. 974. YOUNG. _Alexander Young._ Plain armorial. Motto, _Robori prudentia praestat_. Unitarian clergyman and historian of Boston.
