Note.--It mav necesttry to observe, that a most
preposterous fashioo has been lately introduced in
the iiisrriptions op in signs and shew-boards over the
shops of tradesmen in this metlcpolis. The mo-
dern capital letters are rejeCted, and the old, bar-
barous, eukward charafters substituted in their
place. A tradesman's shew-board has thus the ap-
pearance of the gravestone of one of his ancestors,
with the letters partly defaced, and scarcely legible,
and looking more like a rectiiescrit in pace, or
hieroglyphicas upon a catacomb, than an invitation
to business. It is a bad and corrupt taste, and
ought to be avoided.
