Excerpt from The Library of the University of California
In conclusion, it only remains for me to express my warm thanks to Lord De Tabley and to Mr. A. W. Franks, c.b.; to the former for allowing me to make use, without oft-repeated acknowledgment, of the matter contained in his Guide to the Study of book-plates, a second, and much amplified edition of which we may hope will, before long, make its appearance; to the latter, not only for constant advice and assistance, but also for the loan from his collection of nearly all the book-plates with reproductions of which this volume is illustrated.
