acquisitions were not enough to arrest the decline ofthe concern. The typefoundry
and the printing business were put up to auction [in 1755].2 For another twelve

[1] See note 3 on p. 196, and Wan Eeghen 4, p. 149. There
are two specimens by Brouwer & Weyer in the Museum
Enschedé : one of Romans and Italics, which is headed Letter-
protf van âegieterye van Brouwer en Weyer, the other of titling capitals
and headed Proef van capitalen, die gegooten werden op de gietery van
[name cut out which would have been Brouwer enj Weyer tot
Amsterdam (Specimen of capitals which are cast in the foundry

of ... Weyer at Amsterdam). List of type-specimens nos. 90
and 91.

[2] Charles Enschedé wrote that Brouwer had either died
or withdrawn. Dr. van Eeghen describes under what circum¬
stances Weyer cancelled the contrail: with Brouwer on 30 July
1754. See Van Eeghen 5, Lettergieterijen.
