Description

First edition, 61, [1 blank]pp., the text appears in Dutch and French on facing pages, 4 folding plates, text spotted, paper wrappers, uncut and unopened. ìContaining the first full and authoritative account of the Muller stereotyping process, the earliest known (save the doubtful claim of Valleyre); preceeding Gedís experiments by a comfortable margin. It was overlooked or ignored by the 19th-century historians, who dismissed Mullerís products as merely soldered forms of type metal. Its existence was unknown to me or my expert advisor when I was preparing William Ged and the Invention of Stereotype (The Library, 1960). Its significance was recognized (through Ellic Howeís copy) by Percy Muir in 1963î. (John Carter). Bigmore & Wyman, III. p.78.
