My dear McKerrow
The printer offers you a royal page—see the two openings shewn in the specimens. {1} I had contemplated demy, but the large size would certainly be dignified. The estimate in this style is 288 pages, of which appendix (same type as text) is 58.
What do you think?
Yours sincerely {2}
R. W. Chapman
R. B. McKerrow Esq.
