Default John F. Harper signature

I have a book
The Poetical Works Of Oliver Goldsmith, 1845
Published by Harper & Brothers Publishing NY

The interesting thing is it signed in the front:

Mifs Lillie Lynde with compliments of John F. Harper

Is this John Harper from harper publishing and is his signature worth
anything?

One of the Harper brothers was indeed named John. I think that if it's the
same man, at least, it's a very interesting item in the history of American
publishing.
