Abstract (en)

Presents evidence which suggests the printer Baskerville may have been indebted for his early education to John Dougharty and his son, John Doharty, who taught writing, arithmetic, bookkeeping, geometry, trigonometry, surveying, gauging, etc., to young men in Worcester. Dougharty was a polymath - mapmaker, surveyor, scientific instrument maker and clerk of the works at Worcester Cathedral. Doharty, the son, was an accomplished draftsman.
