The front cover is rubbed, corners are bumped, and there is a previous owner name in two places inside. "As there are no works of Ancient and Modern Alphabets of any excellence published in a cheap form, I have been induced, after many years' study and research in my profession as a Draughtsman and Engraver, to offer this collection to the favorable notice of the public, trusting that its very moderate price and general usefulness will be a sufficient apology for the undertaking" - from the Preface by F. Delamotte. Time Period , 14th Century & 8th Century. (Art, Alphabet, Art Instruction, Design, Engraving, Lettering).
