Another patent was granted to him in 1805 for an improved mode of forming script types, and in 1823 a further patent was granted for a new system of executing, in typography, various kinds of maps and charts. After having travelled in Italy, Greece, and Spain, Firmin retired in 1827 from the active super-intendence of his great establishment. In 1830 the Government offered him the position of director of the Royal Printing office, which, however, he declined. He was decorated with the medal of the Legion of Honour, and appointed Printer to the King and to the French Institute. The Government had his bust in marble placed in one of the halls of the Imperial Printing-office, and a medal in his honour was struck after his death. His portrait, painted by his friend Girodet, is hung in the gallery of the Louvre. A medal was struck at Paris in honour of Firmin Didot in 1839. On the obverse is a bust, nearly full face ; to the right, in modem costume, with the name on either side in bold letters : “Firmin Didot.” On the reverse is a heavy wreath of laurel-leaves, tied at foot with a ribbon, within which is the inscription “Stephanonim Aemulus musarum cultor.” In 1806 he published a translation, of which he was the author, of the Bucolics of Virgil. The book is interesting from a typographical point of view, not only because of its being translated by the printer, but because the latter also engraved and cast the types. It is also remarkable for the use of the character called “Anglaise,” which appeared for the first time in the dedication of the book to Pierre Didot, the author’s elder brother. The volume concludes with a long bibliographical and typographical note. He also printed M. Brun’s “ Manuel de Typographie Francaise “ (Paris, 1825), a masterpiece of printing, and possessing the peculiarity of not containing a single divided word.
