Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Engraved Portraits of Washington Another and no inconsiderable difficulty arises from the differ ence in size of what are apparently and really impressions from the same state of the plate. And right here let me give a warning to readers and all who use this work or any work dealing with prints. The dimensions given of a print mean simply the dimensions of the particular print used for the purpose. As a guide to the size of other prints from the same plate, it is merely relative. A print will vary, from a line to three-quarters of an inch, from the mere shrinking of the paper, and, also, in the case of old copper plates, from the flattening out of the copper under the pres sure of the rollers of the printing press. As is doubtless gen erally known, the paper upon which copper and steel plates are printed is thoroughly moistened and printed upon in this wet condition. In drying it shrinks, and, depending upon several conditions, unnecessary to relate in detail, some sheets will shrink more than others, sometimes in length and sometimes in width. As each sheet shrinks uniformly the printed surface con tracts as well as the margin and in large plates the print will not infrequently show differences as great as I have named.

Excerpt from Collection of Engraved Portraits of Washington: Belonging to Hon. James T. Mitchell This catalogue embraces the first portion of the collection of engraved portraits of Gen. George Washington gathered by the Hon. Jas. T. Mitchell, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and includes only the portraits described by, or such as would have been described by, the late Mr. Wm. S. Baker in his work on the Engraved Portraits of Washington. When I say would have been, I mean that many in this collection are so rare that Mr. Baker had not the good fortune, in his researches, to come across them, otherwise they would have been included in his book. After mature consideration, I decided to fall back and build on the old foundation, that is, to describe the portraits by the excellent rule laid down by Mr. Baker in his admirable work, which is best understood by col lectors, being aware that those who are possessed of the exclusive Grolier Club book can readily identify the portraits mentioned in that book by the Baker numbers herein given. It will be well to state, whilst mentioning the Grolier Club book, that that publication owes much of its excellence and completeness to the courtesy of Justice Mitchell in allowing Mr. Hart the use of his collection in compiling the same, as many of the rarer items men tioned in it are the only impressions known, and are in this collection. In describing the portraits, we have tried to follow the various forms of letters used in the titles of the prints, which will explain the lack of uniformity in lettering of the titles in this catalogue.
