Eight images from Warrington, England—each are encircled in leafing. From the top left the scenes include Warrington Church, Warrington Volunteer 1798, Old Warrington Bridge, Bewsey Hall, Eyres's Warren Press, Warrington in 1783, Warrington Academy, and Cromwell's Lodgings. At center, above the title text, is also a space in which to indicate a book/title number.
Two separate crests, one with a large flower; the other with a pair of antlers. Between this, on top, is a piece of armor adorned with a pair of antlers. Flowers and mantling make up the background, and this image rests on top of a mantle with two additional coats of arms, a skull, additional battle gear, flowers, and a caduceus that divides the mantle and comes between the upper two crests.
In the upper portion of the bookplate is a large circle featuring an image of a globe with a large leafy tree growing at the top pole. Surrounding this is a border designed to look like a belt with a buckle. Within the border is the motto Veritas de Terra Orta Est. Further below, under the name of the plate's owner (and title text) reads If thou art borrowed by a friend right welcome shall he be to read, to study, not to lend but to return to me.
A circular image with a shield at the center, in which an argent chevron divides an azure field, with three argent stars above, and a rose beneath. At the helm, atop a crown, is a knight's helmet backed in leafing; at the crest is a three-quarter image of a warrior, clad in armor, and brandishing a banner. At the base of the shield are three medals. Surrounding the shield is a border with a motto (partially obscured by other images). A second motto appears on a banner below, which reads Spiandact Tapeir Neill. The shield is flanked by two gorged owls gardant.
