    Emblems of mortality representing, in upwards of fifty cuts [after Holbein, by John Bewick] death seizing all ranks and degrees of people ; imitated from a painting in the cemetery of the Dominican Church at Basil in Switzerland ; with an apostrophe to each, translated from the Latin and French. [Ed. with preface by John S. Hawkins] Intended as well for the information of the curious, as the instruction and entertainment of youth ; to which is prefixed a copious preface, containing an historical account of the above, and other paintings on this subject, now or lately existing in divers parts of Europe.
