Book Plates.

L-El
The question Of the use OF the family
coat of arms vexes the American very
seriously. Originally all book platea
were heraldic. That was In an ago
when people generally could not read
and when the blazon OF each family. as
shown on wearing apparel or small be.
longings, was as well known and quick
ly distinguished as an autograph OF,
photograph today. In the main. It isl
safe to advise Americans not to use
coat armor on their book plates. The
uncertainty Of the actual right to arms
and the extreme difficulty OF getting q
drawing that one knows Ia undeniably
correct in every detail are strong rea-
sons against it's use. Heraldry is too
exact a science to admit of liberties,
and 1t is no small achievement TO draw
the coat Of arms with absolute correct
ness and yet with artistic feeling.
Though it is not very generally prac-
hced. 1t is legal to copyright the book
plate design. At least two plates are 10
protected in this country. This would
seem to leave a door open for those who
wish to secure for themselves q per-
sonal distinguishing mark, a quasi
heraldry, for the drawing may be In
heraldic form as well as in any other
