An 1865 New York treatise by Ethan Allan Hitchcock, a sequel to his remarks on alchemy, arguing that Emanuel Swedenborg was a hermetic philosopher and comparing him with Spinoza; this copy comes from the Ferguson Collection of Glasgow University Library. The pictures are plain line-engraved devices: the Glasgow University coat of arms, a shield with a tree, a staff, a bell and a fish above a motto scroll reading veritas, plus a 1921 cover label with the library's name in blackletter. A designer could take from them a restrained heraldic emblem style, with its shield framing, scrolled banner and tidy engraved hatching.
