How did the fchoolmafter at St. Albans obtain his types ? This 

 is a puzzling queftion in the prefent ftate of palaeotypography. Mr. 

 Bradfhaw of Cambridge has, by unwearied ftudy of early printed 

 books, thrown great light upon the connexion and genealogy of 

 numerous founts ufed by fifteenth-century printers, and fyftematic 

 attention to the minute peculiarities of each printer is doubtlefs the 

 only way in which thofe old books can be forced to yield up their 

 fecrets ; but the tafk is immenfe, and beyond the powers of any one 

 man to complete. Some day, however, when the palaeotypography 

 of this country, as well as of the Continental preffes, fhall have 

 received that full technical and philofophical analyfis which time 

 is fure to bring, the more fortunate bibliographer of the future 

 will be able with certainty to track the footfteps and operations of 

 the early typefounders, and will be enabled to ftate for certain to 

 what extent Caxton and the St. Albans printer were their own 

 typefounders, and to what extent and to whom they looked for 

 outside help. As the cafe now ftands, we can only confefs our 

 ignorance of where the St. Albans types came from.
