A notice on the progress of stereotype printing begins with the assertion
that it is 'an English invention', before discussing its adoption in Paris by
Firmin Didot. It is
viewed as likely to become 'one of the most considerable improvements connected
with Literature, which has been made since the invention of moveable types'.
(185) The practices of stereotyping and its important commercial implications
are discussed. A notice records that 'Messrs. Lancliffe and W. Hawkes
jun. of Newcastle upon Tyne' have achieved a heat of unparalleled
intensity by the combustion of oxygen and hydrogen gas using a blowpipe.
