Note 472 — Chapter XI · WILLIAM CASLON, 1720.

If these were the matrices which Mores, in his summary of the Polyglot Foundry (p. 172, ante), described as Great Primer, it is difficult—unless they were duplicates—to determine through whose foundry they passed into Caslon’s hands. Andrews had a Great Primer, and Grover a Double Pica and Pica; but all these came to James, in whose foundry they remained when Mores wrote in 1778.
