Carter and C. Ricks, roy. 8vo, 200 pages, 12 plates, 1961 £3 3s The Dissertation of Edward Rowe Mores (1730-78) was the pioneer history of English typefound- ing. The author printed eighty copies at his home just before he died, and John Nichols added an Appendix and sold them. A reprint of 1924 is now rare; and the reasons for editing the work are chiefly that the text is not easy to come by, that it needs notes and an Index to make it intelligible, and that it gains greatly by being produced, as Mores intended that it should be, with a specimen of many of the old types described in it, which were the stock of the James Typefoundry. The present edition supplies these wants and a life of Mores written in more detail than ever before. 724 Morgan (A. E.)
