Notes

• Note that although this journal announces in its header that it is published quarterly, it actually comes out roughly twice a year
• This issue, as the editor points out, "represents the first Trade Journal ever printed entirely in gold," which was done in honor of the Queen's Golden Jubilee (50 years on the throne) (88). In addition, articles are separated by small golden typographic heart ornaments, which I assume was done for the same reason.
