The way to bliss. In three books
The Way to Bliss, in three books, is a 1658 London work printed by J. Grismond for N. Brook and written by the antiquarian Elias Ashmole, on alchemy and the health of the body. Its pictures are small printed ornaments: a woodcut initial A wrapped in foliage and flowers, and a horizontal strip of stylised crowns, flowers and scrolling leaves that a designer could borrow for borders, capitals or headers.
