Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. 1st Edition. Seven (of eight) inserted plates. With an inserted leaf, numbered 506*-507*, between pp.505 and 506, and a 32-page appendix of specimens of printing types at end. Many illustrations within the text. With an index. Lacking pages i-xviii, including the title-page and the engraved frontispiece of a Stanhope Press. Excellent series of type specimens from both Fry and Caslon foundries. Boards loose, lacking spine. Generally very good internally and despite being defective, still with some remarkable content. The specimens are: Fry & Steele printer's flowers (29 pages); Fry & Steele Printing Types (19 pages), and Caslon & Catherwood Printing Types (10 pages). The book itself is based on J. Smith, The Printer's Grammer, 1787.…

First edition, 8vo (223 x 136 mm), [2, advert], iv, 446pp., WITHOUT the plate showing typographical marks, text moderately browned in places, 32 page author text followed by 326 pages of specimens of type in different sizes, from the foundry of Mr Thorne in Fan Street, Aldersgate Street, with footnotes by the author, pp. 359-446 contain tables with the regular charges for printing works of the same size type length and width as the foregoing specimen pages, later boards, signs of a label having been removed from base of spine, uncut. A compendium of information on the early nineteenth-century printing trade: payment for compositors, master printers' rates, typographical marks, casting off copy, type specimens, etc. This book is far scarcer than Stower's earlier work The Printer's Grammar of 1808.…
