Scope and content

University Library, Cambridge.—‘I know no more than I showed you. I will enquire if there is anything more in Trinity.’ Has not yet read McKerrow’s articles in The Library [prob. 4th series, ii. 97–108] or Transactions [of the Bibliographical Society, xii. 211–318]. Refers to examples of sideways type [in his own Early English Printed Books in the University Library, Cambridge]. [Francis] Jenkinson asks whether McKerrow remembers the Siberch proof-sheets at Westminster Abbey [see Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, vii. 104].
