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.
