These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside French Book-plates: Look inside the book: The earliest known example, and that is simply typographical, is of Ailleboust of Autun, dated 1574; it has the expression Ex bibliotheca; but it was not until about 1700 that this and similar phrases came into general use, and they were then gradually adopted in nearly the following order: Ex bibliotheca; Ex libris; Ex catalogo bibliothecæ; Ex musæo; Insigne librorum; Bibliothèque de—; Du cabinet de—; Je suis à M——; J’appartiens à——. ...In the rare cases where the book-plate remains fixed in the book to which it originally belonged, some little assistance may be derived as to its date and possible ownership, and at least one point may be settled with tolerable certainty, namely, that the engraving has really been intended for, and has served as, an ex-libris; whereas, when once extracted from its book, many an early armorial ex-libris may be easily mistaken for a woodcut used on a dedication, or for an illustration extracted from some old treatise on heraldry.

Excerpt from Book-Plates, Old and New The dealer had opened wide one of the closest written pages of French history. That old book-plate had evidently been as full of danger to the scion of the noble house, as a white cockade, and he had wisely covered it with the Phrygian cap of liberty.

Excerpt from Modern French Painters: Illustrated With Over 100 Plates It is too early yet to inquire whether, among the artists here under consideration, there are some who may prove some day the peers of those great names. But of one thing I feel certain: if the not insignificant period of artistic history of which this book treats has brought forth one or several artists worthy of those Masters, it is among those I have studied here that he or they will be found.

Excerpt from Bookplates Helgenesis of the Bookplate must be sought afield. We are making up for lost time and promise soon to be in the van, thanks to the many brilliant stylists who now devote their art to the subject; but while we were still content with armorial bearings for these attractive sym bols, and had not escaped the tyranny of couchant lions, rampant leopards and chimeras dire, other nations al ready began to see the humanity implicit in ex-libris, and the designs of Albert Durer, Hans Holbein and the Little Masters of Germany, though they still embrace coats and crests and mottoes, lead the way to fresher air and better ground. Our modern bookplates are now nearly free of the Herald's Office; and other extraneous influences, including the French style and convention, have been abandoned for more fluent beauty, humour and imagina tion. In fact, a happy future is dawning for these fine things, and the time must quickly come when no book lover, worthy the name, can deny himself a work of art to link him with his book, long after his eyes shall read and his hands embrace it no more. We have already followed James Guthrie's admirable advice (than whom no man better understands what may become a bookplate), and let go the coat-tails of our ancient heroes to do some wayfaring on our own account. What, then, should an ideal bookplate be? Emphatically not a picture of the master's crest, or his coat, his houseor his library, but a line between his own personality and the treasure it adorns - a sign for other eyes, by which the possessor still holds for ever a sort of spiritual right in his volume, that owners to come should recognise and respect. The proprietor's name and achievement must fitly be te corded: there should be close identity with him, and him only, for whose sake the work of art was created. It should be a sign for the initiated, a statement of facts in terms of fancy and pictorial poetry. But The Bookplate Magazine has created the necessary rallying-point for those who love the subject, and all that is being thought, said and done in this precious matter may there be learned by the growing body of enthusiastic connoisseurs devoted to it.
