“Sound, Sound the trump of Fame,
Let Jefferson’s great name
Ring through the world with loud applause
As the firm friend of Freedom’s cause.
“Let every clime to freedom dear
Now listen with a joyfull ear.
With honest pride and manly grace
He fills the Presidential place.
“The Constitution for his guide,
And Truth and Justice by his side,
When hope was sinking in dismay,
When gloom obscured Columbia’s day,
He mourn’d his country’s threaten’d fate
And sav’d it ere it was too late.”

A Liverpool pitcher with an American spread eagle over the words
“Herculaneum Pottery, Liverpool.” On one side waves and a full-rigged
ship bearing American flag; sometimes printed in black, and often
coarsely colored by hand. This print is often seen on sailor pitchers
with other prints of different designs. On the other side, a sailor’s
ballad surrounded by wreath of flowers, with engraver’s signature, “Jo^h
Johnson, Liverpool.”
93. American Eagle. Masonic Pitcher. Liverpool.
A Liverpool pitcher with American eagle and shield. On the other side,
Masonic emblems. There were a vast number of these Masonic designs, one
is shown on page 147, and as they were not specially American, though
doubtless made largely for Americans, it is useless to specify them.

A pitcher with view of the ship Alligator on one side. On the reverse a
spread eagle, with a scroll border in gilt containing the names of
fifteen States.
95. Mug. Union to the People.
A mug of Liverpool ware printed with a group of three men clasping
hands. They are supposed to be Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, but may be
any other American statesmen. Above the group, a liberty cap with the
words “Union to the People.” Below are branches with leaves and the
legend, “Civil and Religious Liberty to all Mankind.”
96. Salem Ship-building. Liverpool.
