SPECIMENS OF TYPE.

For the convenience of Authors intending to publish, Binns and Goodwin submit the following specimens of the most useful sizes of type.

ENGLISH.

BINNS AND GOODWIN'S Printing and Publishing Establishment, Bath, has now existed nearly a century.

PICA.

"BINNS AND GOODWIN's admirable typographical performances may challenge comparison with anything that ever issued from the press." -Tait's Magazine.

SMALL PICA.

"The typography and binding of all the publications of Binns and Goodwin, are of a very superior character."-Portsmouth Magazine.

LONG PRIMER.

"The clearness of the typography, quality of the paper, and character of the illustrations, to say nothing of the elegance of the binding of Binns and Goodwin's publications, render their productions perfect gems."— Windsor Express.

BOURGEOIS.

"From BINNS AND GOODWIN's we have received some of the most beautifully printed books we have ever had to notice."-Bible Class Magazine.

BREVIER.

"The beauty of the paper, type, and general execution of Messrs. Binns and Goodwin's works strikingly contrasts with the wretchedly flimsy and ugly literature for the million,' now pouring forth from both town and country presses. A beautiful book is like a beautiful flower, or picture, or statue, or any other 'thing of beauty,' which as Keats finely tells us, 'is a joy for ever.""-Bradford Observer.

NONPAREIL.

"This is another of the tasteful specimens of typography, of excellent paper and first-rate color printing, and binding, which have of late issued from the splendid firm of Binns and Goodwin. The nine plates are the most brilliant and clear pictorial illustrations we remember to have seen in an illustrated work."-Morning Advertiser.
