Of the interchangeable course, or, Variety of things in the whole world; and the concurrence of armes and learning, thorough the first and famousest nations: from the beginning of ciuility, and memory of man, to this present. : Moreover, whether it be true or no, that there can be nothing sayd, which hath not bin said heretofore: and that we ought by our owne inuentions to augment the doctrine of the auncients; not contenting our selues with translations, expositions, corrections, and abridgements of their writings.
Louis Leroy's 1594 London treatise on the variety of things and the course of civilisation, printed by Charles Yetsweirt and drawn from the John Carter Brown Library's holdings. Its single picture is a horizontal decorative border of interlaced strapwork, scrolls and foliage in dense black line, with a small label reading 'Pol. 11.' at the upper right, suited to a designer looking for Renaissance panel ornament.
