[1] Of the first six issues, 1 and 2 – light blue covers; 3 and 4 – dark blue covers; 5 and 6  – buff / khaki covers.

[2] The printer’s mark for gathering J was not used, V and W are likewise omitted for each run.

[3] From this issue it would seem that spare copies of covers for previous issues were used up as numbers are altered or added in manuscript.

[4] Gatherings “3B” to “4Z” lacking; pages 553 to 908 still to be issued in c. 45 gatherings of 4 leaves suggests an overrun of 15 months or just over 60 Issues. The complete work would be finished in approx. October 1834.

  IV. The Authors On September 1st 1829 two new magazines were delivered to subscribers or made available for purchase. The first issue of The Rev. Thomas Moore’s The History of and Topography of The County of Devon was published in London by Robert Jennings, 62 Cheapside, on that day. Each issue was octavo [i] (145 x 230 mm) with a paper cover and cost just 1s. This work contained descriptive text by Thomas Moore and E W Brayley. A partial set of these is held in Exeter [ii] and consists of 41 of the first 47 issues plus three parts to a subsequent edition issued as a collection of three numbers. The local (i.e. Devon) distributor of the initial series would appear to be Mr W Bennett of Russell Street in Plymouth. Fishers’ Views in Devonshire and Cornwall could be bought from J Gibson at his address at 8, Lady-Well-Place in Plymouth or was sent directly from the publishers H Fisher, Son & Co. from their premises at 38, Newgate Street and from the offices of Jones & Co. in

  II:  Steel Engraving The first illustrations in printed books used the woodcut, a relief process where the back is cut away leaving the design raised. Probably because both wood and wood carvers were plentiful this remained a popular printing technique long after copper plate engraving had been invented. Wood would remain an important medium for illustrations until the 20 th century and early Victorian guide books often included attractive woodcut s. Because they were relatively cheap to prepare, woodcuts also tended to be popular in penny newspapers and where illustrations were embedded in the text. Despite the increase in copper printing, innovations in wood block engraving continued throughout this period. [i] Alexander Jenkins had used wood engravings to illustrate his History ... of Exeter (1806) which he himself had prepared. [ii] When the London Illustrated News hit the streets in 1842 it contained 32 wood engravings and sold 26 000 copies.   Fig. 1. Alexander Jenki
