CHARLES LAMB considered this work to be one of the most curious and interesting books in the language. The artistically illustrated literature of England during the sixteenth and greater part of the seventeenth centuries, my be said to be almost exclusively represented by books of emblems, which were indeed, in this country, the only works in which art, literature, amusement, and instruction were blended together. There are few subjects of so much popularity and amusement, both to the young and to the old, from the nature of their design, and the beauty, spirit, and felicity exhibited in their embellishments, as these productions, and amongst what may be termed the English series of them THERE IS NO COLLECTION OF GREATER INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE THAN THIS NOBLE VOLUME OF THE FE-TILE ASI PROLIFIC WITHER. The "Lotteries" are exceedingly curious, and it is said that the author was induced, rather in order to advance the profit of his bookseller, than to satisfy his own judgment to invent something in addition to the Emblems, which might be likely to delight the vulgar capacity. He had some misgivings about the decorum of a man of his gravity and ripe age turning fortune-teller, but he satisfied himself that it was harmless, and that it should not be used as an oracle, but as a moral pastime. This is the only moral lottery we ever heard of. |
