Du commerce établi entre l'ame et le corps, ou traité de la liaison qui subsiste entre le spirtuel et le matériel. Fidélement rendu du Latin
This is a 1785 French translation of Emanuel Swedenborg's treatise on the connection between soul and body, published in London and The Hague for readers of philosophy and theology. The two pictures are a heraldic shield with a rampant lion, a Latin motto ribbon reading Veritatem per medicinam quaeramus, and a printer's ornament of flourishes and foliage. A designer could take from them the restrained authority of heraldry and the decorative vocabulary of 18th-century book ornament.
