[730.] Rivoire. Paul Rivoire.
Armorial. No motto. The family name was spelled thus in France, but was altered very soon upon coming to this country. It is strange that this spelling should come up again in a book-plate unless engraved by the owner himself.

Printed label. Of Wethersfield, Conn.
[732.] Robbins. Thomas Robbins.
Literary. The name is given upon an oval medallion, above which rise the well-filled book-shelves of the owner. A curtain is draped over them, and sprays of palm are crossed beneath the oval. Under all is the motto on a ribbon, Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna. (Hor.) A Connecticut divine, who left his library to the Connecticut Historical Society. A variation of this plate places the name within an oblong frame with indented corners. Otherwise the same.
[733.] Roberts. G. C. M. Roberts. M.D. Baltimore.
