Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Emblems, Divine and Moral, Vol. 1 of 2 The immense number of editions through which the Emblems of Francis Quarks have passed since their first appearance, nearly two hundred years since, is the strongest proof of their merit that can be adduced, particularly when the great expense of embellishing each publication, inferior as the engravings have in some instances been, is taken into consideration. There is not a single circumstance in human life to which some part of them does not allude: the explanations of the figures are in easy agreeable verse; to each of them is added a striking quotation from one of the fathers of the Church; and the whole is briefly summed up in general inference. In the present edition the Latin mottos are translated, and notes explanatory of obsolete words and obscure passages are added, so that it will be found one of the most agreeable works that can be offered to the public; especially to the rising generation. Here they will meet with no distracting controversy - no doubts concerning religion; but entertainment and improvement go hand in hand together.
