‘A handy book, beautifully illustrated; the text of which is well written, and calculated to be useful.... The examples of ancient MSS. recommended to the student, which, with much good sense, the author chooses from collections accessible to all, are selected with judgment and knowledge, as well as taste.’—Athenæum.
‘Modestly called a Primer, this little book has a good title to be esteemed a manual and guide-book in the study and practice of the different styles of lettering used by the artistic transcribers of past centuries.... An amateur may with this silent preceptor learn the whole art and mystery of illumination.’—Spectator.
‘The volume is very beautifully got up, and we can heartily recommend it to the notice of those who wish to become proficient in the art.’—English Churchman.
‘We are able to recommend Mr. Delamotte’s treatise. The letterpress is modestly but judiciously written; and the illustrations, which are numerous and well chosen, are beautifully printed in gold and colours.’—Ecclesiologist.
