This book is set in a type called Scotch. There is a divergence of opinion regarding the origin of this face, some authorities holding that it was first cut by Alexander Wilson & Son of Glasgow in 1833. Whatever its origin, it is certain that the type was widely used in Scotland where it was called Modern Roman, and since its introduction into America has been known as Scotch.
THE FORMAT, decorations and illustrations were made by W. A. Dwiggins and the book manufactured under the supervision of the Pynson Printers of New York. The press work and binding were done by the Plimpton Press, Norwood, Mass., and the paper made by the H. C. Chalfant Mill.
