Synopsis
Excerpt from English Book-Plates: Ancient and Modern
In the present volume I have attempted to make a rapid survey of the history of English book-plates qua book-plates; to trace the origin of these marks of ownership and the gradual spread of their use from the Continent to this country; to concatenate the successive styles in their ornamentations, and the various classes of devices that have been most in vogue up to the present time.
