283. _Hobbes's "Leviathan"_ (Vol. iv., p. 314.).--You have inserted my
inquiry respecting the frontispiece to Hobbes's _Leviathan_; I should
also be glad to know the interpretation put by any of your readers on
the various other symbols in that plate. They are, on one side of the
title, a castle, a crown, a cannon, a pile of arms, and a field of
battle, in compartments one below another; and on the other side, a
church, a mitre, a thunderbolt, a collection of implements marked
_syllogism_, _dilemma_, &c., and a tribunal.
I have my own view of the meaning of each part of this, which is at your
service when required.
