General Note

Edmund Butterworth published a “New sets of copies in alphabetical order” in Dumfries, 1778. There are copies in the National Library of Scotland, one of which has an engraved leaf following the printed title with the address 'Dumfries Academy 1772'. It seems likely that he was Drawing Master there at this time. He also published “Butterworth's Universal Penman” in Edinburgh 27 February 1784 (National Library of Scotland); “The Young Arithmetician's Instructor”. Edinburgh 1815 and the “Young Writer's Instructor” Edinburgh, 1816. Some of the works are published by E. Butterworth & Son at a London address. The son is probably George who was at 36 George Street in 1815, and had earlier shared the same house with Edmund in 1808 and 1810. Not in the Edinburgh Directories for 1793-1797, 1801.
