Bookplates -- Bibliography; Bookplates, American
Armorial. The arms seem to be wholly imaginary, or at least borrowed
from some other family. Arms, Az. a lion ramp. or. on a chief ar. a
stork ppr. between two mullets sa. Crest, A bird sa. on a garb fess-ways
ppr. No motto. The name occupies the ribbon. This plate is crude in
appearance, and not unlike the work of Nathaniel Hurd; it may have been
an early attempt of his for himself or some member of his family. The
copy before me has written upon it, “Isaac Hurd’s presented to Barzillai
Frost.”

Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. No motto, the name occupying the
motto-ribbon.

of engraving. The garland draped behind the shield is very stiff, and
the oak branches at the sides are ungraceful.

in type within it. The border is elaborate, with cornucopiæ of flowers
