Upon this answer, Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Bettenham, and Mr. Watts, lent him 5007. to begin the undertaking; and he applied himself to it with equal assiduity and success.

The odes, epodes, and epigrams of this poet have not been thought inferior to some productions of the finest wits of ancient Greece and Rome; and Grotius, D. Heinsius, and others have not scrupled to affirm, that he is not only equal, but sometimes superior, even to Horace himself. Casimir had a great regard for Virgil; and had actually begun to imitate him, in an epic poem, called The Lesciades," which he had divided into 12 books; but died before he had made any great progress in the work, April 2, 1640, since which there have been many editions of his poems.

art of printing. Upon this occasion, Mr. Caslon was pitched upon to cut the fount; in his specimens of which he distinguished it by the name of English Arabic. After he had finished this fount, he cut the letters of his own name in pica Roman, and placed them at the bottom of one of the Arabic specimens. The name being seen by Mr. Palmer, the reputed author of a "History of Printing," (which was, in fact, written by Psalmanazar) he advised our artist to cut the whole fount of pica. This was accordingly done; and the performance exceeded the letter of the other founders of the time. He arrived at length to such perfection, that his workmanship was frequently exported to the continent. He removed about 1735 into Chiswell-street, Moorfields, where his foundry became, in process of time, the most extensive that existed.
