    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This edition of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester’s Poems on Several Occasions was given by Gilbert Hobbs to Arscott Bickford (d.1771), son of William Arscott. William Glynn of Glynn, of Cornwall, also owned the book. According to a note within, Glynn was related to the Bickfords through marriage via the Prideaux family. Importantly, Esmond de Beer obtained, either by gift or purchase, some hundreds of books from Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890–1962), the English book collector who collected bad eighteenth century verse. A pencil note marking Williams’s ownership has been added to the label.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fittingly, the bookplate of Dunedin teacher, heraldic artist, and genealogist, James MacIntosh McCready (1923-2012), is pasted into a book about bookplates. Born and raised in Dunedin, McCready’s interest in heraldry started young. In 1976, he arranged a ‘Scottish grant of arms’ for this father, Stanley. The McCready’s bookplate includes the arms, and features a cabbage tree on either side of the shield, the first time the New Zealand native plant appeared in heraldry. The compass at the top of the bookplate aligns with McCready’s war effort and illustrates his motto ‘Hold True’. The crosses on either side of his name signify his membership of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. Not only did McCready design his own bookplate, he did so for many others.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[William Downie Stewart, Junior, (1878-1949) was born in Dunedin and followed his father into a career in law and politics. In 1913, he became Mayor of Dunedin, and from 1931 until 1933, he served as New Zealand’s Finance Minister, under Prime Minister George Forbes. Stewart was also a scholar, and writer, and published several books. His bookplate was designed by the New Zealand engraver and artist, Ernest Mervyn Taylor (1906-64) and features the motto ‘Never Fear’. Around the bottom of the oval badge is, what appears to be, a rendition of the New Zealand kowhai.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Lady Diana Duff Cooper (1892-1986) was a British socialite, actress, and author. Married to politician and diplomat Alfred Duff Cooper (1890-1954), the couple lived a life of privilege and excess, surrounded by famous artists and the intellectuals of the day. Lady Cooper’s bookplate was executed by the artist Rex Whistler (1905-44). It includes images associated with her lifestyle: champagne bottles, grape vines, scrolls, and despatch boxes. Cooper herself is portrayed as Diana the Huntress in a bust that Whistler described to her as ‘haughty’; the overall rococo style is in keeping with the artist’s oeuvre. In all, Whistler produced 18 bookplates, mostly for friends, and his designs are described as having a ‘wonderful lightness and elegance’ (Lee, 1973).]]></dcterms:abstract>

The bookplate is a stylised scene of a woman reading in her library executed in 1904 by the designer, Edwin Davis French (1851-1906). Marks of previous ownership also appear with the stamped initials of ‘HL’ on the front cover, and an inscription above the bookplate recording when John English Doben (4th Baronet of Finedon, 1750-1837) purchased the volume at the Kettering Book-Meeting in March 1803.]]></dcterms:abstract>
