De sectionibus conicis : tractatus geometricus in quo, ex natura ipsius coni, sectionum affectioens facillime deducuntur. Methodo nova
A Latin geometry treatise on conic sections by Hugh Hamilton, printed in 1758 and published by Gul. Johnston, aimed at mathematical students. Its pictures are ornamental wood-engraved headpieces and tailpieces of scrolling foliage, thistles, urns, flowers and a beehive, useful to designers seeking decorative border and vignette motifs from eighteenth-century print.
