Defence of the religion of nature, and the Christian revelation : against the defective account of the one, and the exceptions against the other, in a book, entitled, Christianity as old as the creation
A 1732 London theological treatise by Simon Browne, printed for Richard Ford, defending natural religion and Christian revelation against Matthew Tindal's Christianity as Old as the Creation. The pictures are typographic headpieces and tailpieces of eighteenth-century printing: symmetrical ornaments of scrolling acanthus, urns with flowers, and perched eagles, drawn in fine black line on cream paper. A designer could draw on their balanced, mirrored compositions for decorative borders, dividers, or heraldic-style crests.
