(Introduction) 'The specimen reproduced here is the last that was issued by the British Foundry. It displays all the types cut for it, and there is an additional specimen of 'cast ornaments' and 'engravings on wood' offered for sale, which reflect the growing taste for this kind of stock illustration. The copy of the specimen from which this facsimile has been made includes the sale catalogue for the foundry, which was announced for 27 November 1797, and this has been reprinted in the present publication...'
