"In this book of specimens is displayed a selection of type faces and of suitable borders and ornaments from British, American and Continental foundries, which, for the extent and variety, will compare favourably with any similar collection, and will be found equal to the production of high-class artistic printing, for which an increasing demand has arisen in our experience. To illustrate the utility of these type combinations a few sample designs are reproduced as an appendix to the volume. John S. Common, Manager. Bristo Place, Edinburgh, August 1887.".--introduction.
