University seal, which was drawn in 1916, with the donor's name typed

On the left side of the image, an olive branch appears in the upper
foreground. The bookplate has an off-white background with the seal
printed in dark blue ink; the second bookplate is an aged yellow rectangle with an interior black art deco frame. The bookplate identifies the name and city of the owner and a book number.[end figure description]

Dedication
TO
HON. W. PORCHER MILES, M. C.
[figure description] Dedication.[end figure description]
O friend! who satt'st beside me in the hour
When Death was at my hearth; and in my home
The mother's cry of wailing for that doom,
Long hovering, which, at last, with fatal power
Descended, like the vulture on his prey,
And in his talons bore away our young! —
Thou know'st how terribly this heart was wrung:
Thou cam'st with watch and soothing, night and day,
No brother more devoted! — More than friend,
Belovéd evermore, — behold me thine! —
Yet have I little worthy that is mine,
Save love, and this poor tribute; which must blend
With memories of thy watch, and of our pain,
And of those precious boys, we both have watched in vain!
W. Gilmore Simms.
Woodlands, S. C., April 2, 1859.
