Of the advancement and proficience of learning: or, The partitions of sciences, nine books
A 1674 London printing by T. Williams of Francis Bacon's treatise on learning and the divisions of the sciences, translated by Gilbert Watts, aimed at scholars and readers of philosophy. Its pictures are decorative woodcut ornaments: scrolled foliate panels, strapwork borders and floral friezes, with a few emblematic motifs such as a seated figure and tulips, useful to a designer seeking historic border and pattern ideas.
