A stock bookplate—in the center of a border of wavy designs, dolphins, compasses, and tridents there is the silhouette of a large, tri-masted vessel on the high seas beneath a partly cloudy sky. Above the vessel is the phrase There is no frigate like a book, To bear us lands away! At the base of the plate is a small bookshelf.
A coat of arms divided into two; the left side featuring a sort of double-bend with three roundlets and a thick border around the left half of the field. To the right, divided into two lengthwise and then further divided by a thick, wavy band. At the crest, upon a torse, is an eagle standing upon a blasted stump.

A poem, which reads If thou art borrow'd by a Friend, Right welcome shall he be; To read, to study, not to lend, But to return to me. Not that imparted knowledge doth Diminish learning's store; But books I find if often lent, Return to me no more. Read slowly—Pause Frequently—Return duly—with the corners of the leaves not turn'd down.

Printed in red and black ink, the scene includes an anchor with a snake wrapped around the top, much like a caduceus. Two fists emerging from two cloudlike objects hold the anchor. In the background can be seen an active body of water. Below the image are spaces labeled "Accession Number" and "Press Mark", and room in which to write.
