Speaking of blue-grey colored paper, I've noticed this in a few books
from England c. 1800 (roughly the period from the French Revolution up
to Waterloo). I've been wondering what causes the bluish tone to the
paper and whether it is restricted to England in this time period?

Thank you very much for this information, Eric.
I copied the "Temple of the Muses, Finsbury-Square" address off the
title
page before I really started cataloguing the books (a 7-volume
translation
of Linnaeus, 1806), and further investigation revealed that they were
in
fact printed in Swansea several years earlier. Whether this accounts
for
the peculiar blue-grey colour of the paper is another matter.
I should have been more precise with my original query - thank you,
again.
