Synopsis

There is scarcely anything that makes a more lasting impression on the mind than emblematical representations of temporal or spiritual objects. Sin, death, happiness, misery, every virtue, as well as every vice, have been represented by emblems in order to engage the attention. Deformity will strike the mind with aversion, in the same manner as symmetry or beauty strikes us with love and admiration. The representation of anything vain and perishing points out to us the fluctuating and perishing state of all sublunary things.Instruction has been so blended with entertainment in this book that careful perusal of it will give pleasure to the mind, while the judgement will be regulated, and the fancy led away from vice, to the practice of virtue, in her most amiable colours.
