Some thoughts concerning the affairs of this session of Parliament, 1700.
Andrew Fletcher's 1700 pamphlet on the affairs of that year's Scottish Parliament, printed in Edinburgh for an unnamed audience of political readers, concerned with the Company of Scotland's African and Indies trade and Scottish taxation. Its single picture is an engraved heraldic achievement: a shield with a chevron, three hanging charges and an eagle crest, set in scrolling foliage above a motto ribbon, a vocabulary of formal armorial ornament a designer could draw on for crests and seals.
