Varieties: or, A surveigh of rare and excellent matters, : necessary and delectable for all sorts of persons. Wherein the principall heads of diverse sciences are illustrated, rare secrets of naturall things unfoulded, &c. Digested into five books, whose severall chapters with their contents are to be seene in the table after the epistle dedicatory.
Varieties is a 1635 London miscellany of natural secrets and general learning by David Person, printed by Richard Badger for Thomas Alchorn and sold in Pauls Church-yard for a general readership. Its pictures are small decorative woodcut headpieces and tailpieces of crowns, roses and scrolling foliage, showing how flat, symmetrical ornament can frame a title or section break.
