The American Boys' Book of Signs, Signals and Symbols (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The American Boys' Book of Signs, Signals and Symbols

The Goddess of Liberty is a sign or symbol representing no real person or god, but she does represent the idea of human freedom. Columbia in a like manner represents America as Britannia does Great Britain. The Bear is the totem, or sign, of Russia, the Bald-headed Eagle the totem of United States.
