Walpergen’s music matrices were secured by the University Press, in whose _Specimens_ the type had already figured for some years; but we have, so far, been unable to discover any important works in which the character was used. SYLVESTER ANDREWS, who succeeded to Walpergen’s foundry before the year 1714, was the son of Robert Andrews, the London founder. His foundry, which, with the exception of one alphabet of Hebrew, consisted entirely of Roman and Italic, was, Rowe Mores informs us, nothing compared with that of his father, and was indeed a part of his father’s. The following is the list of his matrices:― “MR. SILVESTER ANDREWS’ FOUNDERY; _furtim_: _Hebrew._ Brevier (at first 33) 30 _Roman and Italic._ 2-line English Capitals ... Great Primer Roman, large face 125 Great Primer Italic 82 English Roman 148 English Italic 98 Pica Roman, large face 153 Pica Roman, small face 148 Pica Italic 110 Pica Roman, lower case 27 Long Primer Roman 119 Long Primer Italic 102 Brevier Roman, large face 130 Brevier Roman, small face 135 Brevier Italic (2 sets of Capitals) 105 {210} 2-line Pica Italic ...

Nonpareil Roman, large face 140 Nonpareil Italic 105 Nonpareil Roman, small face 94 Pearl Roman 98 Pearl Italic 38 Although his stock of matrices was limited, he appears to have done a considerable business, not only with the University, in whose service he was probably retained, but also with other printers practising in Oxford, notably with John Baskett, the king’s printer, to whom, with two others, the “Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University,” leased their “privilege and interest in printing” for twenty-one years from March 1713. In the year 1719 Baskett, who had two years previously produced the magnificent “Vinegar” _Bible_[399] at Oxford, mortgaged his stock and privilege at the University to James Brooks, stationer, of London, as security for a loan of £3,000. And in a schedule attached to an indenture, dated May 23, 1720, having reference to this transaction, occurs an inventory of the type at that time in the printer’s possession, which is highly interesting, not only as throwing light on Andrews’ business, but as indicating the contents of a large office of the period, and the extent to which Dutch type at that time competed in this country with English. The schedule is as follows:―
