Jackson Burke's Copy

Moxon, Joseph REGULAE TRIUM ORDINUM LITERARUM TYPOGRAPHICORUM OR THE RULES OF THE THREE ORDERS OF THE PRINT LETTERS: VIZ. {THE ROMAN ITALICK, ENGLISH} CAPITALS AND SMALL.
London for James Moxon 1693 small 4to. later stiff wrappers, half brown morocco slipcase and chemise. 52 pages
First separate appearance. (Bigmore & Wyman, Vol. II, p. 62; Burke no.810; Wing M3020). This edition of the work gives every appearance of having been made from leftover sheets. The text appears to be from the same setting of type as the first edition of 1676. The plates are printed on thin paper, with the exception of Plate I, which looks like new work for this edition. They correspond exactly with the like-numbered plates from the section on letter-cutting in Moxon's Mechanick Exercises of 1683. . ." (Burke catalogue). This last work, subtitled The Doctrine of Handyworks, was the first published manual describing printer's tools and the various processes of printing. In this present Regulae Trium Ordinum, as in the 1676 original, Moxon models his types on Elzevir's, but modifies them with his mathematician's sense of rigid geometrical proportion (Bigmore & Wyman). Lacking title and dedication leaves and one of the seven plates. Title, dedication to Christopher Wrenn, and plate thirteen supplied in photo facsimile. From the Library of Jackson Burke.
