(a) Note

I will not take upon me to aver the impossibility of
executing by Letter-press what shall be taken for Copper-plate
but it will be utterly impossible to execute, by the common mode
of engraving Copper-Plate what shall be taken for Letter-press:
at least, if the impressions made with the types be made deep
in all the copies with this view. By engraving the whole
body of letter press together, as it were upon one large puncheon
the acts of the maker of the matrixes the founder and the
finisher, of the letters would indeed be discarded; and the
effect of the Letter-press might, in this way be produced
(I suppose) (as in the stereotype plan) as well as by
separate types. – But whether by this expedient any
additional facility would, upon the whole, be produced is
what I cannot but doubt: it belongs to artists alone
to pronounce – Hence, however, at any rate, arises
a further use in increasing the quantity of Letter-press.
