40pp., 4to, with sixteen additional leaves carrying laid-down printed matter. Stapled. In green card ad hoc binding, with white label on front cover in Morison's autograph, with ruled border, reading 'A Brief Survey of | Printing | Stanley Morison & Holbrook Jackson'. In fair condition, on aged paper, the leaves of the text having become detached from the aged and worn binding. The duplicated pages of typed text are on the rectos of forty leaves, each with letterhead of 'LINOTYPE & MACHINERY LIMITED, LONDON'. They consist of 38 pages of text (apparently the same as in the published version of 1923), paginated 1-38, and preceded by title and contents page. The sixteen additional leaves of illustrations are scattered throughout the text leaves, fourteen of them with cuttings of illustrations (all different from the eight present in the published work), and the other two leaves carrying the laid-down article 'Type in Modern Germany' by Dr Rudolf Wolf (Linotype Bulletin, 1924). The illustrations are reproductions and not originals. Two have original calligraphic captions by Morison: 'Book of Hours printed by Simon de Colines: Paris. 1543. woodcuts by Tory' and 'Fournier le jeune, 1742'. Accompanying the typescript is a copy of the printed work (London: At the Office of the Fleuron, St. Stephen's House, Westminster, SW1, 1923), with the neat small calligraphic ownership inscription on the front board of 'C. S. B. B, 'De Archivo Publico' (from the publisher's archive?), dated in Latin from London, 23 July 1923.?>
