380 APPENDIX. 



The blocks for Mr. Way's work* have come safe 

 to hand; but he informs me that you have omitted 

 to send the head piece to Tale yth, "The Mantle 

 made amiss," which I must beg you will send along 

 with the first parcel of the blocks for the Chase; 

 & in cutting the remainder of Mr Way's work 

 you will cut head and tail piece in the regular 

 succession agreeable to the Numbers on the different 

 Sketches, as any omission on this head causes an 

 interruption in the printing. 



As to the Blocks for the Chases, I have already 

 told you my situation, & must therefore entirely 

 rely on your making a bold effort to finish them in 

 the specified time. The whole number is only 12 

 blocks, besides the Vignette for the Title, a sketch 

 for which I will send you. Many of the tail-pieces 

 are small; I wish fine execution in them I con- 

 fess; but yet their must be that happy mixture of 

 engraving in them that will at the same time 

 produce a boldness of effect. Mr. Way par- 

 ticularly requests that I would inform you that 

 the blocks last sent are perfectly agreeable to his 

 wishes. Agreeable to yr desire I have sent the 

 death of yr Brother to the London prints, Adieu 

 & believe me yrs very sincerely 



W. BULMER.
