This design is printed in a purplish and rather light blue on various pieces of dinner and tea-services. The plates are most frequently found. One is here shown. They have slightly scalloped edges and a scroll border dotted with stars. Four American eagles and shields are in the border, and four medallions. The upper one contains the figure of Liberty standing beside a printing-press, while a negro kneels at her feet. Around the design are the words, “The Tyrants Foe—The People’s Friend.” In the lower medallion is the design of the scales of Justice. In the medallion to the right are the words, “Of One Blood are All Nations of Men.” In the medallion to the left, “We hold that all men are created equal.” In the centre of the plate, against the background of a sun-burst, are these words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Constitution U. S.” On some of the pieces—pitchers and teapots, for example—there also is seen this inscription, “Lovejoy—the First Martyr to American Liberty. Alton, Nov. 7th, 1837.” It is asserted that the pieces bearing this design were the gift of the English Anti-Slavery Society to the American Abolitionists, shortly after the death of Lovejoy; that they were sold at auction in New York, and the proceeds devoted to the objects of the Society of Abolitionists. If this account is true, these plates are certainly among the most interesting relics of those interesting days. [Illustration: Anti-Slavery Plate.] Battery. New York. See No. 217. 137. Baltimore. Battle Monument. A plate printed in black, dark brown, or green, with border of flowers. In the centre a view of the city of Baltimore with a monument in the foreground.

It has a square base twenty feet high, with a pedestal ornamented at the four corners with sculptured griffins. On each front is an Egyptian door with bas-reliefs and inscriptions. A column eighteen feet high rises above the base and is surrounded by bands inscribed with the names of those who fell in battle.
