Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _In hoc signo vinces_. The arms are not correct, as one cross-crosslet is missing, and it is not certain that the crest which hangs in unusual style on a plate, from the festoon, belongs to this family. The crest is balanced by a plate on the other side of the shield, on which a letter _E_ is engraved. The whole is contained within an elongated wreath. The name appears above the shield following the curve of the wreath, and at the bottom two additional lines in Latin serve as another motto, _Ignotis errare locis, ignota videre, Flumina gaudebat: studio minuente laborem_. A variant of the above,--the same copper altered,--gives this motto in place of _In hoc signo vinces,--Sans Dieu rien_. A Revolutionary officer whose bravery was recognized by Congress. 261. EVARTS. _Jeremiah Evarts._ A simple name-label with the motto under the name and a festoon of cloth above it. Motto, _Nil sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus_. Father of the Senator. 262. EVERDELL. _William Everdell._ Armorial in form, though no real arms are shown. Motto, _Semper paratus_. The four quarters of the shield are occupied with implements of the draughtsman’s art. Of New York. 263. EVERETT. _Edward Everett._ Plain armorial. Motto, _Patria veritas fides_. Scholar and orator. Born, 1780; died, 1851. 264. EWING. _Ewing._ (John.) Armorial. Chippendale. A very porky lamb, books, two cooing doves, and a quadrant are introduced into the framework. Motto, _Audacter_. A Philadelphia clergyman. 265. FAIRFAX. _Bryan Fairfax._ Armorial. Motto, _Fare fac_. Eighth and last baron; friend of Washington. 266. FARMINGTON. _Library in the First Society in Farmington._ A large engraved label. 267. FARMINGTON. _This Book belongs to Monthly Library in Farmington._ Allegorical. Signed, _M. Bull’s & T. Lee’s Sculp._ A large plate in which the Laws and the names with the attendant flourishes take a good deal of the space. In the centre a shelf of books separates two groups of figures. At the right a very stiff youth, in the court costume of the period, with wig, ruffles, and buckled shoes, is seen under the guidance of a portly female figure who impersonates Wisdom. [Illustration: J.H. Ewing] She appears to be warning the youth of the dangers of pursuing the two sirens who beam at him across the shelf; or else they are meant to represent the sources of Knowledge, and the youth is being conducted to them. As Deacon Bull was not a great engraver we may be pardoned if we do not clearly understand his allegory. However, the LAWS of the Library are very plain, and are neatly engraved under the row of books mentioned. _1. Two pence pr day for retaining A Book more than a Month._ _2. One penny for folding down a Leaf._ _3. 3/ for lending a book to a Nonproprietor._ _4. Other Damages apprais’d by a Committee._ _5. No person allowed a Book while indebted for a Fine._ Below these stringent rules the following verse is given:--
