Revelation examined with candour : or, A fair enquiry into the sense and use of the several revelations expressly declared, or sufficiently implied, to be given to mankind from the creation, as they are found in the Bible
A 1733 London treatise by Patrick Delany, printed for C. Rivington, arguing about revelation and the Bible for a learned English readership. Its pictures are small decorative initial letters in a square frame, with scrolling foliage, paired birds, an eagle, a cherub's head and a mask set around a single capital letter, a clear model for designers building ornamental initials and framed monograms.
