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. The arms of
the United States are above the medallion. The pictorial parts of this
are cut in wood.
126. CABOT. _William Cabot._
Armorial. Wild Chippendale. No motto. Of Massachusetts.
127. CADENA. _M. V. C._ (Mariano de la Cadena.) Plain armorial. An
ordinary square shield supported by a very peculiar frame. Motto, _Fidem
servat vinculaque sulvit_. A Professor of Spanish in Columbia College.
128. CADENA. _Don Mariano Valazquez de la Cadena._ Plain armorial. No
motto. Of New York City.
129. CADENA. _Mariano Valazquez de la Cadena._ Small, plain armorial. Of
New York City.
130. CAILLAUD. _John Caillaud. Esqr._
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. The frame enclosing the arm is oval in form
and quite peculiar in construction; an eagle with a chaplet in his beak
appears as a crest.
131. CALLAWAY. _Thomas Callaway._ Plain armorial. Motto, _Aliis quod ab
aliis_.
132. CALLENDER. _John Callender._
Armorial. Pictorial. The shield rests against a rock, mossgrown and
over-topped by shrubs. Signed, _Callender Sc._ Of Massachusetts.
133. CALVERT. _Thos. Calvert._
Armorial. Chippendale. Motto-ribbon empty.
[Illustration: The Honourable W^{m} Carmichaell Esq^{r} ]
134. CAMPBELL. _Donald Campbell. Jamaica._
Armorial. The shield affixed to the mast of a lymphad. (The crest of
this family of Campbells.) Motto, _Fit via vi_.
135. CARMICHAELL. _The Honourable Wm Carmichaell Esqr._
Armorial. Early English. The very full mantling nearly surrounds the
shield. Motto, _Toujours prest_. Diplomatist. Born in Maryland. Delegate
to Congress, 1778-1780. Foreign minister. Illustrated in “Curio,” page
16.
136. CARROLL. _Charles Carroll._
Armorial. Chippendale. No motto. The last surviving signer of the
Declaration. Died, 1832. This was the Charles Carroll who added “of
Carrollton” after his signature to the Declaration, that no mistake
might ever be made in recognizing him. Illustrated in “Book Lovers’
Almanac,” 1894. Duprat and Co., New York.
137. CARROLL. _Charles Carroll Barrister at Law._
Armorial. Jacobean. No motto. The same arms as the Charles Carroll.
