Morison (Stanley). Cobbett (William)   Printed and Published by Charles Clement, No. 183, Fleet Street,  1824 Early Collected Edition    Unpaginated. Contemporary full calf, gilt, red leather lettering piece to spine.  Backstrip worn, chipped and split at lower hinge, otherwise a good copy; somewhat browned and spotted throughout. At the head of the front paste-down end-paper is the pencilled inscription: “To S. M. from” and beneath this the book label of John C. Tarr. It is thought that the recipient was Stanley Morison; it is possible that the inscription is in Morison’s hand  Sixteen “letters” originally printed and published separately between 1824 and 1826, later reprinted and bound up as here with a general title dated 1824. The imprint at the foot of the final page of text (“Letter XVI”, p.[24]) is “Printed by Wm. Cobbett, 183, Fleet-street”. Tarr was sometime head of the Type Drawing Office at “Monotype” and author of How to Plan Print (1938), Printing To-day (1949), Design in Typography (1951) and others.
