Peckham'. 4pp., 12mo. Closely written, with corrections. The first section concludes: 'Jacobi was certainly an experienced and successful printer of fine printed volumes and H.M. paper. William Morris drew inspiration from Chiswick Press that led to his founding the Kelmscott Press. His first experiments in the use of type designed at K. P. were carried out under Jacobi. C. P. also used his Golden Type in a series of Classical Reprints. | In 1919 the press passed out of the hands of George Bell & Sons having been purchased by the firm of Wm.

The following is an example of the style: '1930 | More than 100 years after Nephew Whittingham set up in Tooks Court, the premises in which he worked yielded to the destiny of all material things and had to be pulled down. Meanwhile new premises had been built at New Southgate adjoining the Litho and Collotype works and the Chiswick Press moved into same this year. Christopher Sandford now joined the Board of Directors.' The 'Opinions' begin with an extract from 'Plomer's "Short History of English Printing"' and end with a passage 'From a Review of "The Player's Shakespeare"', and include an endorsement by 'Francis Meynell - Proprietor of the Nonesuch Press' and 'An American Client'. THREE and FOUR: Two Typed Letters Signed to Newbery from Adam Maitland. The first (1p., 4to; 1p., 12mo) on letterhead of the Chiswick Press; 18 December 1952.

He hopes that Newbery will 'hear well of the Press these days under Mr. Tollit whom we have taken on specifically to build up the quality of work there again to the highest point'. The second (1p., 4to) on letterhead of Eyre and Spottiswoode Limited; 9 January 1953. In response to the next item.
