Description

The author of this book, Jonas Hanway, gave away specially bound presentation copies of wholesome literature in an effort to fortify the morals of English society. Hanway employed two unidentified binders for his presentation copies, and the second binder, active from 1765, utilized a small set of emblematic tools in combinations that were dictated by Hanway's highly personalized iconographic program.
