London. April 13. There has lately been presented to the
Society for the Encouragement of Arts, &c. in the Strand, a
specimen of a type for printing music, newly invented by Mr.
Henry Fougt, a gentleman of real ingenuity; which type the
Society have found, upon examination, to merit their entire
approbation; and judged that this method of printing music
is "an improvement superior to any before in use in Great-
Britain; and that it appears to answer all the purposes of
engraving in wood, tin, or copper, for that end, and can be
performed with much less expence."--A fresh instance of the
large advancement of the arts to perfection amongst us.
