The Times is this day ,'in the hands of the family of its founder, and in this respect stands alone amongst the morning papers of London. The Times was not the original title of the paper. In the beginning of 1785 a daily paper was started under the title of the Daily Uni- -.- versal Register, and the title of The Times J was not substituted until New Year's Day of 1788. Of the Register there had been 939 numbers issued. Both The Times and its forerunner were described in the heading of the first page as being ;•« printed logographically." This strange and uncouth term was applied to a patent ■which John Walter, the proprietor had obtained, for casting in metal entire words", instead of single letters in the usual mode. In short, Walter used Stereotyped words and parts of words, instead of separate letters. " Alone, darling !" replied Henry; O, HO; I didn't drink it alone. I had just taken two toddies and a rum punch before I tackled the claret. I though the claret itself might be a little lonesome, so I took them to keep it company."
