A List Of Canadian Bookplates PDF Download

Excerpt from A List of Canadian Bookplates: With a Review of the History of Ex Libris in the Dominion The reader, then, can understand why I should be named as editor rather than as author. This list, like Topsy, has just growed, and to all who have assisted in its growth I tender my sincere thanks. I also wish to acknowledge the great kindness of those individuals who have allowed us the use of the coppers or blocks of their Bookplates. At the end of the list I have made an alphabetical arrangement of all the mottoes appearing on anonymous armorials, together with the names of the families making use of them. This may help to identify plates that otherwise might prove puzzling. Needless to say I shall welcome additions and correo tions which collectors may be able to send, addressed either to me at Box 3066 Boston, or to Stanley Harrod 83 Macpherson Avenue, Toronto, Canada.
