This pitcher arrived in Troy a short time before Lafayette made his visit to that city in 1824, and was first publicly used at the reception given to him September 18, 1824. Since then it has been used on many notable occasions. A bill was introduced to the State Legislature in Albany, in the spring of 1891, for the purchase of this pitcher and its preservation in the State Library. The purchase sum required was three hundred and fifty dollars. The bill did not pass. It is a pity it cannot be in the possession of the National Museum at Washington, since the State of New York did not care to preserve it as a relic. There are some designs of the American eagle and flag, and a few relating to men of Revolutionary times, which may be assigned, though without any positiveness, to the period between the War of the Revolution and the War of 1812. With these prints I resume the list of American subjects. 85. John Adams. Portrait. A pitcher, eight inches in height, printed in black, with a very good, though coarse, portrait of Adams, and the inscription, “John Adams, President of the United States.” Underneath is a design of two fat cherubs tying up a parcel and bundles—possibly an idealization of emigration. The print is signed “F. Morris, Shelton, Staffordshire.” Strange to say, this pitcher was purchased in Chester, England. 86. Proscribed Patriots. Liverpool. A design printed in black on pitchers, and here shown. On the side a medallion with a willow-tree and monument. On the monument the inscription, “G. W. Sacred to the memory of G. Washington, who emancipated America from slavery and founded a republic upon such just and equitable principles that it will” (remainder illegible). Around this medallion the legend, “The Memory of Washington and the Proscribed Patriots of America. Liberty, Virtue, Peace, Justice, and Equity to all Mankind.” Under this, “Columbia’s Sons inspired by Freedom’s Flame Live in the Annals of Immortal Fame.” Under the monument are portraits of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and the letters S. A. and J. H.; and under these a beehive and cornucopia. On the front of the pitcher is the American eagle and shield, with inscription, “Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with all Nations, Entangling Alliances with none. Jefferson. Anno Domini 1804.” Under the handle, “Fame,” in clouds. [Illustration: Proscribed Patriots Pitcher.] 87. William Franklin. Medallion. Wedgwood. Two blue and white jasper medallions of the son of Benjamin Franklin. These medallions appear in Wedgwood’s “List of Illustrious Moderns.” William Temple Franklin was the last Royalist governor of New Jersey, but his claim to fame rests only on his being the son of his father. Two of these medallions are in the Huntington Collection. Samuel Adams. Portrait. Liverpool. On Proscribed Patriots Pitcher. See No. 86. 88. Jefferson. Name in Inscription. On a pitcher bearing a portrait of the American eagle, with motto, “E Pluribus Unum,” are these stanzas:
