Tables of antient coins, weights, and measures, explained and exemplified in several dissertations
A 1754 treatise on ancient coins, weights and measures by John Arbuthnot, with additions by Benjamin Langwith, published by D. Browne for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The pictures are small printed ornaments: symmetrical headpieces and tailpieces built from scrolling acanthus-like foliage, flower baskets, and winged birds, set in a centred composition that a designer could borrow for dividers, cartouches or vignette frames.
