Scrapbook of Edward Dalton, LL.D, FSA (d. 1876), relating to fonts in England; with some earlier and later material. Includes many drawings, pen, pencil, wash, a few engravings, late 18th-19th cent., printed cuttings and some correspondence. Many of the drawings are by members of the Dalton family, particularly A. Dalton, 1844-6, and 'G. S'., 1854 (i.e. Geo. Shaw; see letters, 1854, 1856, pp. 179, 183). At the end of the volume is a wash drawing of the font at Biddestone, Wilts., sent by the Rev. John Emra, rector, 1869.
