An Alphabet Of Emblems (1844)

By Thomas Boyles Murray

Book Overview

An Alphabet of Emblems is a book written by Thomas Boyles Murray and published in 1844. The book is a collection of 26 emblems, each representing a letter of the alphabet. Each emblem is accompanied by a short poem and an illustration. The emblems are designed to convey moral and religious lessons, and each one is meant to teach a different virtue or idea. The book is written in a style that is both poetic and didactic, and it is intended to be read by children and adults alike. The illustrations are intricate and detailed, and they are meant to be studied and interpreted along with the text. Overall, An Alphabet of Emblems is a charming and thought-provoking book that offers a glimpse into the moral and intellectual values of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
