Note 697 — Chapter XVII · WILLIAM MARTIN, 1790.
Reading edition
An early specimen of Thorowgood’s shows a Black, the matrices of which, it is stated, “were purchased by Messrs. Fry & Steele at the breaking up of the Cleveland Row Foundry.” As, however, Messrs. Fry & Steele’s partnership terminated about 1808, we consider the whole statement doubtful.
