Reflections upon learning : wherein is shewn the insufficiency thereof, in its several particulars ; in order to evince the usefulness and necessity of revelation
A 1727 London treatise by Thomas Baker, printed for the Knapton and Wilkin booksellers, arguing for the necessity of revelation over human learning. The pictures are decorative woodcut printers' ornaments: an eagle centred in a symmetrical cartouche flanked by floral urns, a leafy horizontal strip with a bird above, and a border with an open book between urns and birds. A designer could draw on their symmetrical cartouches, flanking floral sprays and compact headpiece proportions for period-style frames and dividers.
