An apology for M. Antonia Bourignon : in four parts ... : To which are added two letters ... containing remarks on the preface to the Snake in the grass [by C. Leslie] and Bourignianism detected [by J. Cockburn] : as also some of her own letters
An 1699 London polemical treatise by George Garden defending the mystic Antoinette Bourignon, printed for booksellers D. Brown, S. Manship, R. Parker and H. Newman, and aimed at religious readers of the period. The single picture is a small oval engraved portrait of Bourignon in a plain hood and cloak, set in a finely ruled oval frame on tinted paper, offering a designer a compact model for vignette-style portrait framing with restrained tonal hatching.
