Stanhope press

A description of iron press invented by the late Earl Stanhope about 1800. It is not much in use at the present day, having been superseded by the Albion and Columbian presses. A description and engravings of the Stanhope press will be found in Johnson’s “Typographia,” Vol. II., p. 536; Savage’s “Dictionary,” p. 779: and Stower’s “Printers’ Grammar,” p. 499.
