Document Analysis
Typeset in Rockwell, a very new typeface from Monotype released this year. Printed with an Albion hand press. A jobbing printer with a Monotype system and the very latest Monotype matrixes, and an iron hand printing press designed in 1820 but still manufactured today? That's no ordinary jobbing printer.
Craft (papermaking)
It's printed on laid (i.e., handmade, chain lines & wire lines) art (i.e., coated, glossy) paper, normally used for expensive limited edition books of etchings or prints.

Hamilton Golding

Credit Rating
You've (i.e., Frances Bradley) never met Hamilton Golding before. His accent marks him as upper middle class.
Golding is a catalogue agent. (Sebastian & Malcolm know that already, you'll learn much more about Golding at the bookshop)

Walled Up Manuscript

Bibliography
Thomas Pettigrew served as librarian to the Duke of Sussex from 1818 to 1845. His three-volume catalogue of His Grace’s collection, the Bibliotheca Sussexiana, covers only a portion of the whole, mostly theological and religious works from all over the world.
