A guide to classical learning, or, Polymetis abridged ... : being a work absolutely necessary, not only for the right understanding of the classics, but also for forming in young minds a true taste for the beauties of poetry, sculpture, and painting
A 1777 London edition printed for James Dodsley, abridging Joseph Spence's Polymetis, a classical-learning guide for students of the classics, poetry and art. Its engraved plates show ancient statues and mythological figures, reproduced in oval and circular frames on the page, which a designer might use as reference for classical figure poses, drapery and sculptural composition.
