He is nov cutting series ofletter, after the Scotch type, which is noted for beauty and durabi- ty. This type has never before been cut in the United States, and is now introduced fer the first time. Many printers labor under the impression that the superiority Of Scotch type consists in the metal used. This is not the case--it is entirely owing to the cutting and shaping oe the letter. It6cing rounded in the corners, gives additional strength to the hair marks, and renders letter of such cut deci- de,lly superior to any other. Newspaper printers win find this type much more lasting tn its wear than that now used.
