Annuity Notes

In the present state of the artMrs Grumby, the expense
of this security would be considerable. The number
of copies capable of being worked off from
a copper plate without prejudice to that sharpness
on which the density may in some manner
depend is limited: say for example. 800 or 1000.
How this comes in on occasion for applying to on
a very ingenious invention which hitherto, for
want of such an occasion seems to have remained
unapplied and unnoticed. I mean the
art whereby engravingsdesigns, originally engraved on
copper, are by means of an intermediate mould transferred to glass — a material
much less copied (it is said) to ware, in a
state fit for furnishing impressions — and in a
state of sharpness —(it is said)—andnumbers adequate to this or any other purpose.
A reprintedAn account of this invention may be seen in
Nicholson's Journal for May 1st 1798 No 15: being
there reprinted from a paper circulated by
the Author Mr. Professor William of Glasgow with
specimens which I have seen and heard spoken
of by artists as adequate to the performance of
what is promised. It is there spoken of as a reassurance
securityagainst forgery: but in which way it is
proposed to operate in that character is not mentioned.
"High embellishm elaboration"..."collateral
embellishment...and "peculiar manner of some
"eminent master...are here recommended for that
purpose: but that the subject should be the
portrait of a living person is not said.
