The true intellectual system of the universe : the first part; wherein, all the reason and philosophy of atheism is confuted; and its impossibility demonstrated
A 1678 London philosophical treatise by Ralph Cudworth, printed for Richard Royston, arguing against atheism and aimed at scholars and religious readers. Its pictures are small woodcut-style decorative headpieces or tailpieces: a crowned figure seated with a bird beside floral panels, flanked by rosettes, a central tulip in a vase, and fruit clusters, all in tight symmetrical borders a designer could adapt for ornamental frames and dividers.
