In  order  to  be  able  to  assist  one  of  our  students,  majoring  in 
art,  who  is  making  a  special  study  of  pharmaceutical  book  plates,. 
I  take  the  liberty  to  ask  all  persons  or  associations  that  have  book 
plates  to  send  specimen  copies.  Your  kind  cooperation  in  pubHshing 
this  notice,  as  well  as  theirs  will  be  greatly  appreciated.  If  librarians 
and  other  book  lovers  who  know  of  such  book  plates,  old  as  well  as 
new,  will  kindly  advise  the  writer  of  their  discoveries,  it  should  be 
possible  to  make  the  catalogue  of  pharmaceutical  ex  lihris  much 
more  complete  than  would  otherwise  be  the  case.  Trusting  that 
this  appeal  may  meet  with  many  a  response,  I  remain 
Very  truly  yours,
