His Majesty's Printing Office, London,
Sept. 18, 1823.

Gentlemen,

I am happy to be able to make a good report of Mr. Hope's Press. It brings off a good impression, and with great ease. The men who work at it speak highly in its favour; and I have no doubt but Mr. Hope will dispose of many when its merits are generally known.

I am, Gentlemen,

Your most obedient servant, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE. To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Gentlemen,

Edinburgh, April 30, 183,

I am happy to say I am fully satisfied with M Hope's Press; it answers every expectation I ta formed of it, and the men consider it as fully equi I am, Gentlemen,

to the Columbian Press.

Your most obedient servant.
ANDREW BALFOUE

To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Gentlemen,

[blocks in formation]

Mr. Hope's Press, which we have now hade months, has given us the greatest satisfaction works extremely well, with ease to the Pressmen, z? brings off an excellent impression without a sing overlay. Your description of it is fully realized every respect.

We are, Gentlemen,
Your's respectfully,
J.GORE and SON

I have for some time worked one of the first Presses which Mr. Hope constructed, and I find the advantages which he promised of power, quickness, and truth, are realized most entirely. The case with which the Press is worked, and the accuracy of the impression, prove that the increase of power is very judiciously applied. The "Graphic Illustrations To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts. of Warwickshire" are printed with Mr. Hope's Press.

I remain,

Chester Courant Office, Dec. 3, 182

Gentlemen,

Your's very truly,
Mr. Hope's Printing Press, which I ordered from
THOMAS KNOTT, jun. you for the use of this office, gives perfect satisfac
tion; it has now been in work nearly three morts.
the men who work at it speak highly in its faved:
the impression is even and powerful.

To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Gentlemen,

Bolton, Sept. 13, 1823.

IN answer to your letter respecting the Printing Press I purchased from you, made by Mr. Hope, Y beg to say, that it is in every respect as complete a Press as any I ever saw, it works easy, and the im. pression is even and powerful My opinion of it is such, that I shall at any time feel pleasure in giving my favourable testimony.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your's respectfully,

JOHN YATES.
Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Geutlemen, Rochdale, Sept. 8, 1823. IN answer to your's, respecting my opinion of Mr. Hope's Press, I have the satisfaction of saying that it has far exceeded my expectations. The principle of the Press is more simple than any I have seen, and, of course, not liable to be so much out of repair as the generality of Stanhope Presses; yet the power gained by the length of levers is so great, that I conceive it to be the most powerful of any now in use. If by making this public you think it would be any advantage to Mr. Hope, you are at liberty, as I conceive it does not exceed the merit of his invention. I am, Gentlemen, Your's respectfully, JAMES HARTLEY. Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Printing Office, Edinburgh, April 27, 1824. Gentlemen,

We have now had experience of the Press constructed by Mr. Hope, of Jedburgh, for twelve months, and have no hesitation in giving it as our opinion, that it is a cheap and excellent invention, and may be very safely recommended by you as combining economy with all the qualities requisite in a Printing Press.

We are, Gentlemen,

Your very obedient servants,
JAMES BALLANTYNE & Co.
Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Leicester, March 11, 1826. | struction (a desideratum in many of the newly invented presses) it is easily kept in repair. I am convinced that its merits only require to be known to be generally appreciated.

In reply to your's respecting the two Presses I purhased of you, made by Mr. Hope, it is with pleasure inform you, that the Royal Press has been in use ight months, and not the slightest accident has occurred to cause the least hinderance. It works exremely easy, and the impression it produces is both ven and powerful; it combines portability with eatness and elegance, and is certainly cheap when ompared with others now in use.-With respect to he PORTABLE PRESS," that performs remarkably well, and in consequence of the ease and rapility with which it works, it will prove a valuable acqusition to any printing office. I am, Gentlemen, Your's respectfully,

R. TIBBUTT,

CHAS. STEWART.

To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts.

Edinburgh Courant Office, Oet. 20, 1826. Gentlemen,

I am favoured with your letter regarding the Patent Printing Presses of Mr. Hope, of Jedburgh. The large Newspaper Press which I purchased from that Gentleman last year has given me the greatest possible satisfaction, and the pressmen who work it inform me there is not one more complete or effective in this city. I may add, that it has been constantly in use, and notwithstanding the large impressions of our paper, it has never once gone out of order, or required the slightest repair. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, GEORGE HOUY, Editor of the Courant.

To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts.

Cheltenham Chronicle Office, Oct. 21, 1826. Dear Sirs,

I feel so much satisfied with the Printing Presses sent by you from Mr. Hope's manufactory at Jedburgh, that I have to thank you for your recommendation, for since I have experienced the improvement in my general printing from the facility afforded by the power and quickness of Mr. Hope's plan, I have determined not to use any other presses; and as soon as my new offices are completed, I shall have great pleasure in giving you an order for two more on the same patent principle.

I am, dear Sirs,

Your's faithfully,

S. Y. GRIFFITH. Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

The respectable signatures already attached to your circular of references are quite sufficient to establish the character of Hope's Printing Press, and any thing we can add must be quite superfluous. We refused to publish our opinion before we had had sufficient time to try its merits, but we are now glad of the opportunity to testify to the truth of what your correspondents affirm, and you may depend upon our exertions in this quarter in assisting to remunerate Mr. Hope for his ingenuity. We are, Gentlemen,

Your most obedient servants,
BANCKS and Co.

Messrs. Beilby and Knotts.

Gentlemen,

Birmingham, Oct. 27, 1826.

Having worked Mr. Hope's Patent Double Crown Press for twelve months, we are enabled to add our testimony of its merits to those already published. The ease with which it is worked induces the pressmen to prefer it to the other presses in the office of the old construction, not only for heavy forms, but for every kind of job-work.

I am, Gentlemen, for MRS. TURNER,
Your obedient servant,
J. F. TURNER.

I have had the Press made by Mr. Hope in cr stant use two years. The ease with which it is worn ed, and the equality and sharpness of impress which it yields, give perfect satisfaction. 1 am, Gentlemen,

Your obedient servant. JAMES PATRIK To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.

Gentlemen,

Angel Hill, Bury, Nov. 30, 185.

I have now used one of Hope's Royal Press which I had from you, upwards of twelve mont since, and find it in every respect equal, if cot s perior to any Press I have ever seen; and I do not but its merits (not mentioning its cheapness) when more generally known, will ensure its introducion into most printing offices in England. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant,

T. C. NEWBY. To Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham,

A PORTABLE PRESS

ON THE PATENT PRINCIPLE OF MR. HOPE, HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED. This Press will be found very useful in Country Offices, for printing Cards and any Job-work not exceeding half a Sheet of Foolscap. It is so portable that it may be worked on a Table or Counter.

[blocks in formation]

by 8 in. Price £14 14s.

Portable Press deserves my unqualified praise. Any thing from the smallest card to a half sheet of foolscap it will work in the most beautiful manner possible, in little more than half the time necessary at a common press, and with less than half the usual labour. Its construction is very simple, and it appears scarcely possible that it should get out of order. In short, I am so much pleased with it, that I feel anxious to recommend it; and to shew that I have had experience of it sufficient to warrant my speaking thus highly of it, I observe that during the twelve months which it has been in my possession, upwards of 200,000 bills and cards have been worked at it. It needs but to be tried to be fully approved. I am, Gentlemen,

Your's respectfully, ALBERT COCKSHAW. Messrs. Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham.
