A word of caution if offered an association copy with a Lovecraft bookplate. Mr. Lovecraft's cousin ,Wilfred B. Talman originally designed the bookplate. In 1977 The Necronomicon Press reproduced the plate and distributed it.I see them from time to time on Ebay. There is no easy way that I know of to distinguish these reproductions from the originals. Let the buyer beware.![]()

Many of the loyalists fled to Canada and England but he apparently remained in Maryland.
Ref. The Bookplate Booklet May 1911
In The Loyalists of The American Revolution (Vol.1, P.397 ) I found the following:
"Dulany,Daniel,of Maryland.Son of Walter.At first he enrolled himself in the militia,and seemed inclined to the popular cause;but refusing to sign the Test ,he incurred the displeasure of the Whigs and fled.Attained and estate confiscated."
If the references cited are correct,the father fled and the son remained in Maryland.

" (March 13, 1855 – November 12, 1916) was an American businessman, author, mathematician, and astronomer who fueled speculation that there were canals on Mars. He founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and formed the beginning of the effort that led to the discovery of Pluto fourteen years after his death. The choice of the name Pluto and its symbol were partly influenced by his initials"
