Summary:
Shortly after the turn of the 19th century, Charles Mahon, Third Earl of Stanhope, became interested in reestablishing stereotype printing in England. Although stereotyping had twice been introduced in his country, it had fallen into disuse for many years. Stanhope, a political radical who ultimately seceded from the House of Lords, perfected stereotyping from plaster molds in 1804. His process offered many obvious advantages wherever books - such as bibles, prayer books and school books - were being constantly reprinted. It substantially reduced the wear of type and the expense of keeping it standing for future use.
