A short and impartial view of the manner and occasion of the Scots colony's coming away from Darien. : In a letter to a person of quality.
A 1699 Edinburgh pamphlet by Andrew Fletcher, written as a letter to a person of quality, giving an account of the Scots colony at Darien and its abandonment. The only picture is a heraldic achievement with a crest of a winged creature above a shield bearing three small figures in a chevron pattern, set in ornate scrolling foliage and a banner inscribed with a motto. A designer might take from it the dense, stippled shield pattern and the symmetrical scroll framing typical of early modern armorial engraving.
