A Defence of the Christian revelation, on two very important points : as contained in one treatise, intitled, Observations on the history and evidences of the resurrection of Jesus Christ
A Defence of the Christian revelation is an 1748 London theological treatise printed by voluntary subscription, written by Gilbert West and George Lyttelton as a defence of the resurrection of Jesus and the apostle Paul's evidence. The pictures are small letterpress head-pieces and ornaments: a mask-faced cartouche with scrolls and birds, a bust in an oval frame, a sunburst over a letter T, and a sun-face with flower urn. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrollwork and baroque cartouche structure for period borders and headers.
