Bookplates -- Bibliography; Bookplates, American
Armorial. Pictorial. The arms are carved on what bears strong
resemblance to a gravestone; a draped female figure stands leaning upon
the stone holding a book open, on which the motto, _Hoc age_, is given.
418. JACKSON. _James Jackson._
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _Bona quae honesta_.
419. JACKSON. _Jonathan Jackson._

Scp._ A Massachusetts statesman. Member of Old Congress. Illustrated in
“Art Amateur,” April, 1894.
420. JACKSON. _W. Jackson._ Ribbon and Wreath. A shield is suspended
from a wall-pin under the crest, on which assumed arms are shown; in
chief a group of thirteen stars surrounded by the word _Independence_;
in base is a plough, indicative of the spirit of the owner. Motto,
_Meliora non opto_. Perhaps the plate of Major William Jackson, a
prominent patriot of the Revolution; held many offices.

Armorial. Motto, _Simplius sicut columbae_. Signed, _Griffiths &
Weigalls 3 St James St Londn._
422. JARVIS. _Jarvis._
Armorial. Pictorial. A very handsome and peculiar plate, in which the
shield resembles a wind-filled sail; angry waves roll at the foot, and a
part of a mast and sail are seen. The ornamentation at the sides takes
the form of trees and sprays of holly, while roses appear at the sides.
Motto, _Adversis major par secundis_.
423. JARVIS. _Samuel Farmar Jarvis. D.D._
Armorial. Literary. Mottoes: _Hora é sempre_, and see _Sola salus
servire Deo_. The shield rests against a pile of books, and above the
cross and crown are seen in a blaze of glory. Son of Bishop Abraham
Jarvis.
424. JAUNCEY. _Jauncey._
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, _Quo vocat virtus_. The name
_William_ is written in on the copy at hand. He was a merchant in New

Statesman.
426. JEFFRIES. _Dr. John Jeffries._ Plain armorial. No motto. It is said
that he was the surgeon who recognized the body of Warren at the battle
of Bunker Hill. This plate is not signed, but bears strong resemblance
to the work of Callender.
