http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/192046061

This collection contains one bookplate belonging to Hugh Campbell, 3rd Earl of Loudoun, bearing the motto, "I Byde My Time." The bookplate's printed coat of arms features a two-headed dragon resting on a helm nestled into a five-pronged crown. A shield is below the crown, divided into eight pie-slices that alternate between ermine fur and dark sections. Its oval shape is unusual. The shield is stabilized on either side by a soldier with an upright spear and a woman holding a roll of paper. The shield most likely was colored Argent and Sable, or black and white.
