Quadrat citation at long s?
I can't make sense of the citation you added? Issue 23 has no such article that I can see: "Editor’s Note 2

 * Thanks! I've fixed it. It was Issue 15, January 2002. Blythwood (talk) 13:55, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that fixed the technical problem and, now that I can see it, the article is indeed interesting. But unfortunately it seems to raise another: not in citation given. The sentence being cited is To discourage subversive publications, this required printing to name the identity of the printer, and so in Nash's view gave printers an incentive to make their work look more modern but nothing that I can find in the Quatrat article says any such thing. If anything, it contradicts it: referring to the anonymous proof-reader's annotation, Morgan observes If this editorial instruction was intended for the fourth, fifth or sixth edition of Calcott, it was not obeyed. Or am I missing the point? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:20, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Sure-the main source is Nash which the whole sentence is based on, but I thought it would be interesting to link to the Quadrat source as a response to his article even though I didn't think it was quite worth writing about in the article. I often find that replies to major articles on a topic can be interesting and hard to find (Quadrat was a quite obscure journal, I only found it existed by chance), so if anyone's interested in the topic they might want to go on to it as a case study.
