Français : Texte qui accompagne la gravure:
Explication du Frontispice C'est ici un tableau allégorique, qui représente les avantages qu'on a lieu de se promettre de l'introduction de l'Imprimerie parmi nous. La figure principale de la pièce désigne l'Île de Jersey, en habit guerrier, tenant d'une main une pique, & de l'autre un bouclier, sur lequel sont gravées ses armes. La prochaine figure, qui a pour symbole deux Balles, une Casse à lettres, & des Livres, annonce l'Imprimerie. Celle-ci montre d'une main les différens Génies des sciences & des beaux arts, qui sortent en foule d'un brouillard épais qu'elle semble dissiper, pendant que de l'autre main elle les présente à l'Île. La Charrue, le Navire, &c., sur lesquels l'Imprimerie répand la lumière des rayons dont sa tête est environnée, dénote plus particulièrement nos progrès futurs dans les arts qu'ils ont pour objet. La Renommée, qui occupe la partie supérieure du tableau, est censée publier à son de trompette la gloire de Jersey; & la Couronne de fleurs, qu'elle va lui poser sur la tête, est un emblème de la considération que cette île est à la veille d'acquérir. |
