History of Typefounding in the United States

By David Bruce
Edited and annotated from the holograph manuscript by James Eckmann


A reproduction of Mr. Bruce's anecdotal account of the history of American typefounding through the 1880s. The preface recounts the history of Bruce's manuscript as an important link in the early twentieth-century research of Henry Lewis Bullen and Douglas C. McMurtrie. Laborious annotations by James Eckmann provide excellent context for the transcribed document.
