A Greek fret borders this bookplate that depicts a large, open room at the top, and a sacred flame upon an altar at center. The lower third contains text, which reads: "The Book Destroyed Architecture." "All mankind are on the scaffolding, every mind is a mason. The humblest stops up his hole or lays his stone. Every day a fresh course is laid." --Victor Hugo "Keep bright the sacred fire of education my children!" --Samuel W. French A.B.-M.D.
A skeleton and a stork each holding a cloth with a baby at center. A banner above, held up by two caducei, reads Non est Vivere, sed Valere, uta. Beneath the baby is Aesculapius standing on a stack of books.
