Other plates whose principal features are “bookish” are those of _Henry A. Morgan_, which has simply a large book, open, with blank leaves: on one is inscribed _The page in waiting_; of _Edward Denham_, which has an owl perched upon an open volume, upon whose pages are the following names, _Bede_, _Camden_, _Bradford_, _Chaucer_, _Shakspere_, _Sandys_, with the torch of knowledge and the wreath of victory behind it: the wreath is tied with a ribbon which bears the [Illustration: JOHN E. RUSSELL.] motto--_Nulla dies sine linea:_ of _Charles F. Jilson_, Chicago, on whose plate simply a closed book is seen, with a palette resting upon it; the brush and the drawing tools reveal the art of the owner, while the half-covered lyre upon the book-cover may be an indication of his hobby;--of _Alfred Trumble_, of New York City, who displays a table whereon the bust of Minerva, the student-lamp, the scroll, ink-stand and quill, and the books jostle each other in delightful literary confusion;--of the _Hon. John E. Russell_, of Boston, who shows the owl of Minerva seated upon the books of the scholar: the globe, materials for writing, and the lamp of knowledge are disposed about, and the whole is encircled by an oval wreath of holly. The plate of _Thomas J. McKee_, of New York City, represents a volume of Shakespeare’s Works, open to the title-page, which is occupied principally by a portrait of the famous author playwright. The arms and name appear upon the fly-leaf of the book, other books are at hand, and the following lines are given at the foot:-- _Tu mihi currarum requies, tu nocte rel atra_ _Lumen, et in solis tu mihi turba locis._ The plate of _Paul Lemperly_, of Cleveland, designed by Garrett, shows the open book, with the serpent circled about it. The stars shine beyond, and the design is enclosed within a rectangular border of holly leaves.
