An enquiry into the causes of the miscarriage of the Scots colony at Darien. Or An answer to a libel entituled A defence of the Scots abdicating Darien. : Submitted to the consideration of the good people of England.
This is a 1700 pamphlet printed in Glasgow, unnamed publisher, defending the failed Scottish Darien colony and addressed to English readers on its causes of failure. The only picture is a heraldic bookplate-style armorial achievement of a crest, mantling, shield with chevron and three animal heads, scroll and the motto GAUDEO, with the name John Carter Brown printed beneath, which is an ownership mark from the library's collector rather than part of the text. A designer could draw on its symmetrical scrollwork, mantling and shield composition for emblem or crest work.
