From the personal library of Charles Francis Adams Jr., the great-grandson of President John Adams. Each volume with his heraldic bookplate, adding his name above John Adams's original bookplate design. Volume III only. 346pp. + 40pp ads. 12mo, sewn bindings in navy finished cloth with paper spine labels. Spine punctured near the head of the label, else FINE, entirely clean and sharp with UNCUT LEAVES. 'In 1783, John Adams ordered a bookplate engraved in London in which he introduced a change to the original Boylston arms. To commemorate his own diplomatic service, he charged the outer two pellets in the chief of the arms with lions (the heraldic animal of Great Britain and the Netherlands) and the center one with a fleur-de-lys (the heraldic symbol of France). These are the arms shown at the top of the page. In addition, he had the shield surrounded by a strap and buckle, often wrongly called a "Garter," inscribed with the motto Libertatem amicitiam retinebis et fidem, a rearrangement of a phrase from the Annals of Tacitus meaning "Hold fast to liberty, friendship, and faith." The whole achievement was surrounded by an oval of thirteen white stars. Two years later, in 1785, Adams had a new seal cut exactly duplicating the design on the bookplate.' (The American Heraldry Society) 'Charles Francis Adams Jr. (May 27, 1835 - March 20, 1915) was an American author, historian, and railroad and park commissioner who served as the president of the Union Pacific Railroad from 1884 to 1890. He served as a colonel in the Union Army during the American Civil War. After the war, he was a railroad regulator and executive, an author of historical works, and a member of the Massachusetts Park Commission. Adams was born in Boston, May 27, 1835, into a family with a long legacy in American public life. He was a great-grandson of United States President John Adams and a grandson of President John Quincy Adams.' (Wikipedia).…
