• MANES, Denis paper maker Braidburn and Yester
  Nicolas Dupin and Denis Manes Scots White Writing Paper Company Yester Mill, East Lothian 1694-1703
  Braid Mill near Edinburgh 1695-1703
  Nicolas Dupin and Denis Manes floated a joint stock company in 1694 with a capital of £5,000, The Society of the White-Writing and Printing Paper Manufactory of Scotland. The Committee members included George Mossman stationer. They had a warehouse at Heriot's Bridge in the Grassmarket. They asked for a monopoly of paper-making in Scotland in 1694, but this was refused on the grounds that there were already other paper mills. They ran into financial trouble perhaps exacerbated by the conduct of their Clerk, Robert Henderson who was imprisoned in the Tolbooth at Edinburgh 'for alledged imbazelling the effects belonging to the said manufactory'. He was released in May 1703 because the tacksmen brought no charge against him. The Company made a tack of the two paper-mills 17 September 1703 to George Kerr, merchant and George Livingstoune wright both of Edinburgh on condition that they retained the existing apprentices and workmen. Both mills were still working as papermills in 1714, and Yester was offered for let in working order in 1774. Waterston mentions a papermark COMPANY surmounted by a crowned thistle in two bonds of 1697, and illustrates photographs of a mark BRED / DUPIN in a deed of 1700, and BRAID in an ornamental cartouche in a deed of 17 March 1703 and YESTER in a similar cartouche in a deed of 20 June 1705.

Will proved 26 July 1786. 'Gilbert Martin, of the Apollo Press, Edinburgh died March 1, 1784 [?] ... his peculiarities pressed chiefly on his near relatives and friends; conscientious, but obstinate; very liable to err, though he seldom thought he acted wrong ... By dint of application, he had improved an excellent understanding, and acquired a taste and science in his profession which few predecessors had displayed; disdaining to be fettered by the common rules of art, he ranged into a wide field of luxuriant fancy, and combined in types such symmetry and elegance as might vie with the powers of the painter's pencil' Timperley 750. 'Fire about forty years ago, completely laid waste the celebrated Apollo Press, (by which Bell's beautiful edition of the British Poets was printed,) besides scorching to death several horses in the stables underneath.' Chambers. Fires; Caledonian Mercury 26 August 1761; 28 April 1764. Apollo Press destroyed by fire 18 April 1790.

  Nicknamed 'Bibles'. Supposed to have been born at or near Airdrie, about the year 1745, and was originally a shoemaker. 'bred a shoemaker; his father had been a volunteer on the King's side at the battle of Falkirk, and was carried there by his mother, which gave occasion to the joke that he was 'in arms' in the '45. He began retailing books on a stall at the head of the West Bow about 1776. He had afterwards for many years a large apartment in the house which had belonged to President Lockhart, in the Old Bank Close in the Lawnmarket, where he carried on the business of auctioneer of prints and books... I possess a sketch of him by Geddes;he was twice married, and died in 1821.'. Attended fairs and markets round Edinburgh selling books. Burgess and Guild Brother 26 October 1786. Member of the Edinburgh Bookseller's Society 11 March 31 March 1787. He married, as his second wife, December 1788 Katherine daughter of Mr Robertson, schoolmaster in Ayr.

The clergyman ... interested himself in his fate, and sent him to Edinburgh to pursue the profession of a printer. Shortly afterwards, he began to make himself useful by cutting dies for letters of a particular description required by his employer; there being then no typefounder in the city.... He set up the business of letter-founding in Edinburgh, which he had all to himself until the commencement of establishments with higher claims to taste in execution.'
