Under the characteristic names of coarse papers may be mentioned Kent Cap, 21 by 18; Bag Cap, 19½ by 24; Havon Cap, 21 by 26; Imperial Cap, 22 by 29; Double 2-lb., 17 by 24; Double 4-lb., 21 by 30; Double 6-lb., 19 by 28; Casing of various dimensions, also Cartridges, with other descriptive names, besides Middle Hand, 22 by 16; Lumber Hand, 19½ by 29; Royal Hand, 20 by 25; Double Small Hand, 19 by 29; and of the purples, such significations as Copy Loaf, 16¾ by 21¾, 38-lb.; Powder Loaf, 18 by 26, 58-lb.; Double Loaf, 16½ by 23, 48-lb.; Single Loaf, 21½ by 27, 78-lb.; Lump, 23 by 33, 100-lb.; Hambro’, 16½ by 23, 48-lb.; Titler, 29 by 35, 120-lb.; Prussian or Double Lump, 32 by 42, 200-lb.; and so forth, with glazed boards, of various sizes, used chiefly by printers, for pressing, which are manufactured in a peculiar manner by hand, the boards being severally composed of various sheets made in the ordinary way, but turned off the mould one sheet upon another, until the required substance be attained; a felt is then placed upon the mass and another board formed. By this means, the sheets, when pressed, adhere more effectually to each other, and the boards consequently become much more durable than would be the case if they were produced by pasting. Indeed, if any great amount of heat be applied to pasteboards, they will split, and be rendered utterly useless. The glazing in this case is accomplished by friction. To complete the category of coarse papers, I ought to mention, as coming within the range of the Excise, Milled Boards, employed in bookbinding, of not less than one hundred and fifty descriptions, that is, as regards sizes and substances. Still, however, an incomplete idea is conveyed of the extraordinary number of sizes and descriptions into which paper is at present divided. For instance, I have said with reference to writing qualities, that there are _five_ kinds, cream wove, yellow wove, blue wove, cream laid, and blue laid, and again, that of each of those kinds there are numerous sizes; but in addition there are, as a matter of course, various thicknesses and makes of each size and kind. In fact, no house in London, carrying on the wholesale stationery trade, is without a thousand different sorts; many keep stock of twice that number.
