A DICTIONARY OF THE ART OF PRINTING. BY WILLIAM SAVAGE, AUTHOR OP “ PRACTICAL HINTS ON DECORATIVE PRINTING,” AND OP A TREATISE ON THE PREPARATION OF PRINTING INK, BOTH BLACK AND COLOURED.” LONDON: LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, AND LONGMANS. 1841. ^•1 PREFACE. Books of this class, themselves series of explanations, require fewer prefatory remarks than those of any other; yet I cannot allow the present work to go before the public without availing myself of this privilege of authors. It affords me an opportunity of acknowledging, which I do most gratefully, the kind and valuable assistance I have received during my protracted labours, and of saying a few words on the History of Printing, the limits of the book, the style of writing adopted, and on the introduction of subjects that at a first glance may appear to have but little or no connexion with th^ art. I am indebted to Mr. Fehon, of Mr. Bentley’s establishment, Bangor House, Shoe Lane, for the valuable article on Records, who is, perhaps, more competent than any other printer in the kingdom for such an un¬ dertaking ; and also for his judicious opinions during the progress of the work. Mr. Murray kindly prepared the specimens of electrotype by his improved method, for which method he received a premium from the Society of Arts. To Mr. Knight I am obliged for permission to copy the list of botanical terms from his Encyclopaedia. From the letter founderies of Mr. Caslon, of Messrs. Figgins, and of Messrs. Thorow- good and Besley, I have obtained the’ various alphabets, &c., and am happy to acknowledge the courteous manner in which these and other kind¬ nesses were granted. To other friends who feel an interest in the work, and have rendered me their services, I beg to tender my sincere thanks. The books quoted are each mentioned with every quotation, therefore there will be no necessity to recapitulate them here; I maj"^, however, state, that they are the works of standard authors, as it has been my endeavour to refer to the opinions of men whose talents and learning are generally acknowledged, rather than to opinions perhaps more per¬ tinent in works but little known. The origin of the art is involved in obscurity, there being no clue by which it can be traced, yet it is doubtless of very early date: some authors maintain that printing was practised during the building of Babylon. It is not my intention, however, to enter upon this inquiry here, as it is probable, if my health continue, that I shall embody the facts and information I have been so long collecting on this subject in another work. The dates given of the introduction of the practice into Europe by previous writers are unquestionably erroneous, as we have conclusive evidence of its being followed as a profession for nearly a cen¬ tury before the earliest date they give. There has, in reality, hitherto been but little said on the History or Practice of Printing, the numerous VI PREFACE. books on the subject being chiefly copies from one or two of tlie earliest writers. The object in tlie present undertaking was that of making a purely practical work : one that might meet every exigence of the printer whilst in the exercise of his art, and one that would serve as a book of reference to the author, the librarian, and, in fact, to every one inte¬ rested in books or their production. It will be observed that Moxon’s book has been frequently referred to, and in many instances quoted from. This I was induced to do in consequence of the quantity of useful matter it contains, and more especially in order to point out and contrast the then method of print¬ ing with the present. (Where the letter .7/ is used it refers to this au¬ thor.) The intermediate stages, where improvements or alterations have occurred, are also noticed ; so that the practical history of the art is complete from the year 1683, when Moxon published, to the pre.sent time. The Statutes at Large I have carefully gone through from their eoni- incncement; all the acts of parliament that in anyway refer to printing, and unrepealed, I have introdueed : so that the Printer has here all the Statute Law in existence for his guidance in conducting his business. The I.ist of Abbreviations will be found extensive, and, I trust, valuable, as until now there has been no printed list of many of them. The interpretations have been obtained by comparing the writings of contemporary authors, and by consulting those of my friends who have matle the early writers their study. All the alphabets arc taken from the best grammars in each language, in preference to the more easy, but less correct method, of copying the letters from any iiulifi'erent book printed in the characters «)f the respective languages. I have confined myself to those languages of which the characters are in the British founderies. Whether my views are right or wrong respecting the orthography, punctuation, and the capital letters of the Bible, rests with the public to V V V b fee. J .i J j 3f j Jag- w w TV w 223 tp double u.

Tacquet, an able mathematician, in his Arithmeticim Theor., Amst. 1704, states, that the various combinations of the twenty-four letters (without any repetition) will amount to 620,448,401,733,239,4.39,360,000. Thus it is evident, that twenty-four letters will adndt of an infinity of ANCIENT CUSTOMS. 9 combinations and arrangements, sufficient to represent not only all the conceptions of the mind, but all words in all languages whatever. Clavius the Jesuit, who also computes these combinations, makes them to be only 5,852,616,738,497,664,000. As there are more sounds in some languages than in others, it follows of course that the number of elementary characters, or letters, must vary in the alphabets of different languages. The Hebrew, Samaritan, and Syriac alphabets, have twenty-two letters ; the Arabic, twenty-eight; the Persic, and Egyptian or Coptic, thirty-two ; the present Russian, forty- one ; the Shanscrit, fifty; the Cashmirian and Malabaric are still more numerous. — Astle. ALTFiRATION OF MARGIN. In works that are published in dif¬ ferent sizes, this is the changing of the margin from the small paper to the large paper edition, when at press. After the margin for the small paper copies is finally made, the addi¬ tional width of the gutters, the backs, and the heads, is ascertained in the same manner, by folding a sheet of the large paper, that it was in the first instance. The additional pieces for the change should, if possible, be in one piece for each part. See Margin. Folios, quartos, and octavos, are the sizes most usually printed with an alteration of margin; duodecimos are sometimes, but rarely ; of smaller sizes I never knew an instance. The alteration of margin requires care, for it occasionally happens that the sheet is imposed Jvith_±hej^ong furniture; and where it happens to be in one form only, and that form is first laid on, it sometimes passes undiscovered till a revise of the second form is pulled, when the error is detected, but too late to rectify it; the consequence must be, to cancel a part of the sheet, or to print the reiteration with the margin also wrong ; nay, sometimes both forms are worked off with the furniture wrong, with¬ out being perceived till the compositor comes to distribute, particularly when they are printed at different presses. Such errors destroy the uniformity of the book, and spoil its appearance. These mistakes can only be avoided by care and attention on the part of the compositor, the reader, and the pressman ; but I would recommend that the furniture for the alteration should be cut of different lengths from the furniture of the small paper: in octavos the gutters and backs should be the exact length of the page, and be always imposed within the sidestick; and the head should be the width of the two pages and the gutter, and be imposed within the footstick. This method of cut¬ ting the furniture of precise lengths for the alteration, and locking it up within the side and foot sticks, will not only distinguish it from the rest of the furniture, and from the pieces that may be put in for the conve¬ nience of quoining the form, but will also preserve it from being injured by the mallet and shooting stick, in locking up, and by the indention of the quoins. The same principle, of cutting the alteration to precise lengths, and locking it up within the side and foot sticks, will hold good in all other sizes, where it is required : in quartos, the pieces must be cut to the length and width of the page; and in folios to the length of the page only, as the margin of the head is regulated at the press. ANCIENT CUSTOMS. — The following Customs used in Printing Offices in former times are extracted from Moxon’s Mechanick Exercises, published in 1683, the first practical work that appeared on the Art of Printing. I insert them because I think it interesting to trace the old Customs, that were established by printers to preserve Order among 10 ANCIENT CUSTOMS. themselves; and to show the changes that have taken place since that period. The insertion of them in this place will also tend to preserve them, as the original work is now very scarce, and this department of it has been superseded by subsequent publications, which however, with the exception of Mr. Hansard’s work, have not copied these Customs. “ Ancient Customs used in a Printing-house. “ Every Printing-house is by the Custom of Time out of mind, called a Chappel; and all the Workmen that belong to it are Members of the Chappel: and the Oldest Freeman is Father of the Chappel. I suppose the stile was originally conferred upon it by the courtesie of some great Churchman, or men, (doubtless when Chappels were in more veneration than of late years they have been here in England) who for tlie Books of Divinity that proceeded from a Printing-house, gave it the Reverend Title of Chappel. “ There have been formerly Customs and By-Laws made and intended for the well and good Government of the Chappel, and for the more Civil and orderly deportment of all its Members while in the Chappel and the Penalty for the breach of any of these Laws and Customs is in Printers Language called a Solace. “ And the Judges of these Solaces, and other Controversies relating to the Chappel or any of its Members, was plurality of Votes in the Chappel. It being asserted as a Maxim, That the Chappel cannot Err. But when any Controversic is thus decided, it always ends in the Good of the Chappel. “ 1. Swearing in the Chappel, a Solace. “ 2. Fighting in the Chajrjtel, a Solace. “3. Abusive Language, or giving the I.y in the C/uippel, a Solace. “ 4. To be Drunk in tlie Chappel, a Solace. “5. For any of the Workmen to leave his Candle burning at Night, a Solace. “ 6. If the Compositer let fall his Composing-stick, and another take it up, a Solace. “ 7. Three Letters and a Space to lye under the Compositers Case, a Solace. “ 8. If a Press-man let fall his Ball or Balls, and another take it up, a Solace. “ 9. If a Press-man leave his Blankets in the', Tgmpan at Noon or Night, a Solace. “ These Solaces were to be bought olf, for the good of the Chappel: Nor were the price of these Solaces alike: For some were 12c/. Cd. -id. 2d. Id. ob. according to the nature and quality of the Solace. “ But if the Delinquent prov’d Obstinate or Refractory, and would not pay his Solace at the Price of the Chappel, they Solac’d him. “ The manner of Solacing, thus. “ The Workmen take him by force, and lay him on his Belly .athwart the Correcting- stone,'and held him there while another of the Work-men with a P.aper-I>oard, gave him 10/. and a Purse, viz. Eleven blows on his Buttocks ; which he laid on according to his own mercy. For Tradition tells us, that about 50 years ago one was Solaced with so much violence, th.at he pre.sently P-d Blood ; and shortly after dyed of it. “ Tliese nine Solaces were all the Solaces usually and generally accepted : yet in some particular Chappels the Work-men did by consent make other Solaces, viz. “ That it should be a Solace for any of the Workmen to mention Joyning their Penny or more apiece to send for Drink. “ To mention spending Chnppel-moneg till Saturday night, or any other before agreed time. “ To Play at Quadrats, or excite .any of the Chappel to Play at Quadrats ; either for Money or Drink. “ This Solace is generally purchas’d by the IMaster-Printer ; as well because it hin¬ ders the Workmens work, as because it Batters and spoils the Quadrats : For the manner how they Play with them is Thus ; They take five or seven more m' Quadrats (generally of the English Body) and holding their Hand below the Surface of the Correcting Stone, shake them in their Hand, and toss them upon the Stone, and then count how many Nicks upwards each man throws in three times, or any other number of times agreed on : And he that throws most Wins the Bett of all the rest, and stands out free, till the rest have try’d who throws fewest Nicks upwards in so many throws; for all the rest are free ; and he pays the Bett. “ For any to Take up a Sheet, if ho receiv’d Copy-money; Or if he receiv’d no Copy- money, and did Take up a Sheet, and carryed that Sheet or Sheets off the Printing- House till the whole Book was Printed off and Publi.sht. “ Any of the Workmen may purchase a Solace for any triTi.al matter, if the rest of the Chappel consent to it. As if any of the Workmen Sing in the Chappel; he that is ANCIENT CUSTOMS. 11 offended at it may, with the Chappels Consent purchase a penny or two penny Solace for any Workmans singing after the Solace is made ; Or if a Workman or a Stranger salute a Woman in the Chappel, after the making of the Solace, it is a Solace of such a Value as is agreed on. “ The price of all Solaces to be purchased is wholly Arbitrary in the Chappel. And a Penny Solace may perhaps cost the Purchaser Six Pence, Twelve Pence, or more for the Good of the Chappel. “ Yet sometimes Solaces may cost double the Purchase or more. As if some Com- positer have (to affront a Press-man') put a Wisp of Hay in the Press-man’s Ball-Racks ; If the Press-man cannot well brook this affront, he will lay six Pence down on the Correcting Stone to purchase a Solace of twelve pence upon him that did it; and the Chappel cannot in Justice refuse to grant it: because it tends to the Good of the Chappel: And being granted, it becomes every Members duty to make what discovery he can : because it tends to the farther Good of the Chappel: And by this means it seldom happens but the Agressor is found out. “ Nor did Solaces reach only the Members of the Chappel, but also Strangers that came into the Chappel, and offered affronts or indignities to the Chappel, or any of its Mem¬ bers; the Chappel would determine it a Solace. Example, “ It was a Solace for any to come to the King’s Printing-house and ask for a Ballad. “ For any to come and enquire of a ComposUer, whether he had News of such a Galley at Sea. “ For any to bring a Wisp of Hay, directed to any of the Press-men. “ And such Strangers were commonly sent by some who knew the Customs of the Chappel, and had a mind to put a Trick upon the Stranger. “ Other Customs were used in the -Chappel, which were not Solaces, viz. Every new Workman to pay half a Crown; which is called his Benvenue ; This Benvenue being so constant a Custome is still lookt upon by all Workmen as the undoubted Right of the Chappel, and therefore never disputed; yet he who has not paid his Benvenue is no Member of the Chappel nor enjoys any benefit of Chappel-Money. “ If a Journey-man Wrought formerly upon ftle same Printing House, and comes again to Work on it, pays but half a Benvenue. / “ If a Journey-man Smout more or less onanother Printing-House and any of the Chappel can prove it, he pays half a Benvprme. “ I told you before that abusive Language or giving the Lye was a Solace : But if in discourse, when any of the Workmen affirm any thing that is not believed, the Com- positer knocks with the back corner of his Composing-stick against the lower Ledge of his Lower Case, and the Press-man knocks the handles of his Ball-stocks together : Thereby signifying the discredit they give to his Story. “ It is now customary that Journey-men are paid for all Church Holy days that fall not on a Sunday, Whether they Work or no ; And they are by Contract with the Master Printer paid proportionably for what they undertake to Earn every Working day, be it half a Crown, two Shillings, three Shillings, four Shillings, &c. “ It is also customary for all the Journey-men to make every Year new Paper Win¬ dows, whether the old will serve again or no ; Because that day they make them, the Master Printer gives them a Way-goose; that is, he makes them a good Feast, and not only entertains them at his own House, but besides, gives them Money to spend at the Ale-house or Tavern at Night; And to this Feast they invite the Correcter, Founder, Smith, Joyner, and Inch-maker, who all of them severally (except the Correcter in his own Civility) open their Purse-strings and add their Benevolence (which Workmen account their duty, because they generally chuse these Workmen) to the Master Printers: But from the Correcter they expect nothing, because the Master Printer chusing him, the Workmen can do him no kindness. “ These Way-gooses, are always kept about Bartholemew-tide. And till the Master- Printer have given this Way-goose, the journey-men do not use to work by Candle Light. “ If a Journey-man marry, he pays half a Crown to the Chappel. “ When his Wife comes to the Chappel, she pays six Pence; and then all the Journey¬ men joyn their two Pence apiece to Welcome her. “ If a Journeyman have a Son born, he pays one Shilling. “ If a Daughter born, six Pence. “ The Father of the Chappel drinks first of Chapel Drink, except some other Journey¬ man have a Token ; viz. Some agreed piece of Coin or Mettle markt by consent of the Chappel: for then producing that Token, he Drinks first. This Token is always given to him who in the Round should have Drank, had the last Chappel-drink held out. Therefore when Chappel-drink comes in, they generally say. Who has the Token ? 12 ANCIENT CUSTOMS. “ Though these Customs are no Solaces; yet the Chappel Excommunicates the De¬ linquent ; and he shall have no benefit of Chappel-money till he have paid. “It is also customary in some Printing-houses that if the Compositer or Press-man make either the other stand still through the neglect of their contracted Task, that then he who neglected, shall pay him that stands still as much as if he had Wrought. “ The Compositors are Jocosely called Galley Slaves; Because allusively they are as it were bound to their Gullies. “ And the Press-men are Jocosely called Horses : Because of the hard Labour they go through all day long. “ An Apprentice when he is Bound pays half a Crown to the Chappel, and when he is made Free, another half Crown to the Chappel; but is yet no Member of the Chappel; And if he continue to Work Journey-work in the same House, he pays another half Crown, and is then a Member of the Chajtpel. “ The Printers of London, Masters and Journey-men, have every Year a general Feast, which since the re-building of Stationers Hall is commonly kept there. This Feast is made by four Stewards, viz. two Masters and two Journey-men ; which Stewards, with the Collection of half a Crown apiece of every Guest, defray the Charges of the whole Feast; And as they collect the Half-Crowns, they deliver every Guest a Ticket, wherein is .specified the Time and Place they are to meet at, and the Church they are to go to: To which Ticket is atlixcd the Names and Seals of each Steward. “ It is commonly kept on or about Hay-day: When, about ten a Clock in the INIorning they meet at Stationers Hall, and from thence go to some Church thereabouts; Four Whitllers (as Servitures) by two and two walking liefore with White Staves in their Hands, and lied and Blew Ribbons hung Belt-wise upon their left Shoulders. Those go before to make way for the Company. 'I'hen walks the Beadle of the Com¬ pany of Stationers, with the Company’s Staff in his Hand, anil Ribbons as the Whilllers, and after him the Divine (whom the Stewards before ingag’d to I’reaeh them a Sermon) and his' Reader. Then the Stewards walk by two and two, with long White Wands in their Hands, and all the rest of the Company follow.s, till they enter the Church. “ Then Divine Service begins. Anthems are Sung, and a Sermon Pre.aehed to suit the Solemnity : Which ended, they in the .same order walk back again to Stationers Hull; where they are immediately entertain’d with the City Weights and other Musick: And as every Guest enters, he delivers his Ticket (which gives him .\dinittance) to a Person appointed by the Stewards to receive it. “ The IMaster, Wardens and other Grandees of the Company (although perhaps no Printers) are yet commonly invited, and take their Seats at the upper Table, and the rest of the Company where it pleases them best. The Tables being furnish'd with variety of Dishes of the be.st Cheer : .\nd to make the entertainment more splendid is usher’d in with Loud Musick. And after Grace is said (commonly by the Minister that Preach’d the Sermon) every one Feasts himself with what he likes Best ; whiles the Whilllers and other DfHcers Wait with Napkins Plates, Beer, .Vic, and Wine, of all sorts, to accommodate each Guest according to his desire. .Vnd to make their Cheer go cheerfuller down, arc entertained with Musick and Songs all Dinner time. “ Dinner being near ended, the Kings and the Dukes Healths is begun, by the several Stewards at the several Tables, and goes orderly rotind to all the Guests. “ And whiles these Healths are Drinking, each Steward sets a Plate on each Table, beginning at the upper end, and conveying it downwards, to Collect the Benevolence of Charitable minds towards the relief of Printers Poor Widows. And at the same time each Steward distributes a C.atalogue of such Printers as have held Stewards ever since the Feast was first kept, viz. from the Year of Christ 1621. “ After Dinner, and Grace said, the Ceremony of Electing new Stewards for the next Year begins; Therefore the pre.sent Stewards withdraw into another Room: And put Garlands of Green Lawrel, or of Box on their Heads, and White-wands in their Hands, and are again Usher’d out of the withdrawing Room by the Beadle of the Company, with the Companys Staff in his Hand, and with Musick sounding before them : Then follows one of the Whitllers with a great Bowl of White-wine and Sugar in his Right Hand, and his Whifflers Staff in his Left: Then follows the Eldest Steward, and then another Whiffler, as the first, with a Bowl of White-wine and Sugar before the second Steward, and in like manner another Whiffler before the Third, and another before the Fourth. And thus they walk with Musick sounding before them three times round the Hall; And in a fourth round the fir.st Steward takes the Bowl of his Whiffler and Drinks to one (whom before he resolved on) by the Title of Mr Steward Elect: And taking the Garland off his own Head puts it upon the Steward Elects Head. At which Ceremony the Spectators clap their Hands, and such as stand on the Tables or Benches, so Drum with their Feet that the whole Hall is filled with Noise, as ap¬ plauding the Choice. Then the present Steward takes out the Steward Elect, giving ARABIC. IS him the Right Hand, and walks with him Hand in Hand, behind the three present Stewards another Round about the Hall: And in the next Round, as aforesaid, the second Steward Drinks to another with the same Ceremony as the first did; and so the Third Steward, and so the Fourth, and then all walk one Round more Hand in Hand about the Hall, that the Company may take notice of the Stewards Elect. And so ends the Ceremony of the Day. “ This Ceremony being over, such as will go their ways; but others that stay, are Diverted with Musick, Songs, Dancing, Farcing, &c. till at last they all find it time to depart. ” Ancient Names of Cities and Towns.

An apostrophe, marked thus is used to abbreviate or shorten a word: as, ’tis for it is; tho’ for though; een for even; judg'd iov judged. Its chief use is to show the genitive case of nouns : as, “A man’s property; a woman’s ornament.” — Murray. Authors frequently, in the hurry of writing, abbreviate their words and use the apostrophe ; but a compositor, however his copy may be written, should never abbreviate any word in prose works, except he be par¬ ticularly ordered so to do. The apostrophe is also used in printing to close an extract, or to show where it finishes; and in dialogues, frequently, to close each person’s speech ; in both cases it is usually put close to the end of the word, without any space before it, except where the word finishes with a kerned letter, and then a hair space, or one just sufficient for their preserva¬ tion is used ; when it comes after an ascending letter, a hair space should also be put between them. See Quotation. The apostrophe is not used for abbreviation in the Holy Scriptures, nor in Forms of Prayers; but every thing there is set full and at length. To this even the Latin law language hael regard, and did not shorten the word Dominus, when it had refepence to God; whereas Dom. Reg. is put where our LoFd the King i^Amderstood. Applegath, Augustus. See Machines. ARABIC. Arabic is read from right to left. The method of com¬ posing it is upside down, and after the points are placed at the top of the letters it is turned in the composing stick. Mr. Astle says, “ The old Arabic characters are said to be of very high antiquity; for Ebn Hashem relates, that an inscription in it was found in Yaman, as old as the time of Joseph. These traditions may have given occasion to some authors to suppose the Arabians to have been the in¬ ventors of letters; and Sir Isaac Newton supposes, that Moses learned the alphabet from the Midianites, who were Arabians. “ The Arabian alphabet consists of twenty-eight letters, which are somewhat similar to the ancient Kufic, in which characters the first copies of the Alcoran were written. The present Arabic characters were formed by Ebn Moklah, a learned Arabian, who lived about 300 years after Mahomet. We learn from the Arabian writers themselves, that their alphabet is not ancient.” Seven different styles of writing are used by the Arabs in the pre¬ sent day. Herbin has given descriptions and specimens of them in an Essay on Oriental Caligraphy at the end of his “ Developpemens des Principes de la Langue Arabe Moderne.” The alphabets are copied, and the following observations are translated, from Baron De Sacy’s Arabic Grammar, 2 vol. 8vo. Paris, 1831. 7. It was long thought that the written character which the Arabs most generally use at the present day, and which is called neshhi, was invented ARABIC. li only about the commencement of the 4th century of the Hegira; and, in¬ deed, it appears that the Arabs, before this epoch, used another character which we call Cufic, or Coufic, from the town of Coufa, wliere, doubtlessly, it first was brought into use. This character has so great a resemblance to the ancient Syriac character called Estranghelo, tliat it is extremely pro¬ bable that the Arabs borrowed it from the people of Syria. Nevertheless, even the name of Coufic, given to this character, proves tliat it is not that which the Arabs of the Hedjaz made use of in the time of Mohammed, the town from which it takes its name having been founded only in a.h. 17. Some papyri lately discovered in Egypt have apprised us that the cha¬ racter which the Arabs of the Hedjaz made use of in the 1st century of the Hegira, differed little from that which is called neskhi. Moreover, in the time of Mohammed, writing was, among these Arabs, if we may believe their historic traditions, an invention very recent, and its use was very circumscribed. But it was otherwise, according to all apjiearances, among the Arabs, whether nomadic or settled, of Yemen, of Irak, and perhaps of Central Arabia; for, although we do not know the characters which the Arabs made use of in very ancient times, and the few tradi¬ tions which Mussulman writers have handed down to us on this subject throw but very little light on this jioiiit of anti(|uity, it is scarcely possible to imagine that all the people of .Vrabia should have remained without a written character until the 6th century of the Christian era. The Jewish and the Christian religions were widely diti’used in Arabia ; the Ethiopians, who jirofcssed the latter faith, had even conquered Yemen, and retained its possession for a long while: another part of Arabia had frequent political relations with Persia, and it is found at many times in a state of depen¬ dence, more or less immediate, on the kings of the Sassanian dynasty. Under these circumstances, can it be reasonably supposed that the Arabs were ignorant of the use of writing ? Is it not more likely that w hat his¬ tory tells us of their ignorance in this respect is true only of some tribes, of those, for example, who were settled at Mecca or in the neighbourhood of that town ; and that the character which these received from Mesopo¬ tamia, a short time previous to Mohammed, having been employed to write the Kuran, soon spread over all Arabia with the Mohammedan religion, and caused the other more ancient sorts of writing to fall into desuetude ? It is true, no vestige of these characters remains, but if one may be per¬ mitted to hazard a conjecture, they did not materially differ from that ancient alphabet, common to a great many nations of the East, and of which the Phoenician and Palmyrenian monuments, as well as the ruins of Nakschia-Roustam and of Kirmanschah, and the coins of the Sas- sanides, have perpetuated the knowledge even to our own days. Perhaps another sort of writing, peculiar to Southern Arabia, was only a variety of the Ethiopic. 8. The Arabs of Africa have a character differing slightly from that made use of by the Arabs of Asia. I do not comprehend, among the Africans, the inhabitants of Egypt, for they use the same character as the Asiatics. For the sake of comparison I have shown the manner in which the Jews and Syrians employ their peculiar character when they are writing in the Arabic language. I do not speak here of the character called talik or nestalik because it is peculiar to the Persians. I may say as much of the different kinds of writing proper to the Turks or to the people of India, among whom the Mussulmans of Persia have introduced their cha¬ racters with their language and religion.

The letters of the Arabic alphabet have not alwajs been arranged in the order in wliich tliey are at the present day. The Arabs tlieniselves have preserved tlie remembrance of a more ancient order, and the va¬ lue which tliey give to the letters when they are employed as figures, confirms the existence of this order, whicli they term aboudjed, in like manner as we call tlie alpliabet a be ce. The twenty-two first letters of the Arabic alphabet, thus arranged, are the same, and follow tlie same order, as those of the Hebrews and Syrians. It is very probable that the Arabs, as well as the others, had only these twenty-two letters originally, and that the other six were added afterwards', though it is not possible to determine precisely the time at which this addition took place. 10. The lam-elif'i is not a character per se, but only a junction of the lam J VO the elif\. 12. The alphabet is divided into eight columns: the first contains the numbers which indicate the order of the letters ; the second, the names of the letters; the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth show the dififerent forms of which each letter is susceptible when it is, first, entirely isolated ; second, joined only to that which precedes it; third, joined to that which precedes and also to that which follows it; and, fourth, joined only to that which follows it. There are several letters which are never joined to those which follow them: this causes the blanks in the fifth and sixth columns. It is as well, however, to observe, that when the t), the 3, ARABIC. lY the thej, and the are found followed by !>', at the end of a word, they may be joined together. - 13. Many letters differ from each other only by the absence or ad¬ dition of one or more points. These points are called by the Arabs 0 J akaj; we call them diacritical points, a terra derived from the Greek, signifying distinctive. 30. The elif\, when marked with the hamza is not a vowel. The sound may then be compared to the h not aspirated in the French words habit, histoire, homme, Hubert. The elif, without the hamza, has no pronunciation of its own ; it serves only to prolong the vowel a which precedes it; sometimes this vowel and the elif which follows, take a strong sound approaching to the French i. 31. The (_ ) answers to b, and the to r. In Africa the pronun¬ ciation of is often given to the letter i <• • . 32. The cij answers to the English th, as in the word thin^ ; and it cannot be rendered in French better than by the two letters ts. The greater part of the Arabs make no distinction between the pronunciation of this letter and that of ; some indeed regard as vicious the pro¬ nunciation here indicated. The Persians and the Turks pronounce tlie 1 ••• t as the French 9 ; 1 render it ordinarily by th. 33. The ^ represents a sound similar to that of the Italian g, when followed by an i, as in giardino, and may be expressed by the let¬ ters HJ. This pronunciation, which is most used, is that of the people of Arabia and Syria ; but in Egypt, at Muscat, and perhaps in some other provinces, the ^ is pronounced as g hard followed by an a or o, as in garrison, agony. 34. The ^ indicates an aspiration stronger than thaj of the French h in the words heurter, heros, and similar to the manner m which the Flo¬ rentines pronounce the c before a and o. At the end of words, this aspi¬ ration is still more difficult to imitate. For example, the word ^^ is pronounced as lou^h. 35. The ^ answers to the eh of the Germans when it is preceded by an a or an o, as in the words nacht, noch. 36. The answers exactly to n. 37* The j represents a sound which is to that of ^5 very nearly as the is to that of It is expressed in French by the two letters m or HH. Most nations who speak the Arabic language make no difference between this letter and the preceding; they pronounce both as our d. Some others, as the Arabs of Muscat, pronounce the j as the French z, and such is the usage of the Persians and Turks. 38. The j answers exactly to r ; and the j to z. 39. The answers to the sound of s, when it is at the beginning of words. When this letter is found, in Arabic words, between two vowels, it may be rendered by 9 , that its pronunciation may not be con- 18 ARABIC. founded with that of z, which takes the sound of s, in similar cases, in French words. 40. The sound of is exactly rendered by the French ch, (sj Dutch, sch German, sh English). Many French writers render it by the three letters sch, in order that foreigners may not confound its pronun¬ ciation with that of which is the custom I generally follow. From the manner in which the Arabs of Spain transcribed Spanish in Arabic characters, there is reason to believe that they jjronounced the as an s strongly articulated, and the as the p or z. 41. The answers to our s, but it ought to be pronounced a little more strongly tlian tlie or with a sort of emphasis. It appears that the pronunciation of the two letters has often been confounded, as may be seen in the marginal notes of some copies of the Kuran, in the books of the Druses, and in modern Egyptian manuscripts. 42. The answers to d pronounced more strongly than the French d, or with a sort of emphasis. The Persians and Turks pronounce it as tlie French z, other nations, as ds. In rendering Arabic names into French, in order to express the the two letters vii ought to be used. 43. The L answers to the r articulated strongly and empliatically. If a person should wish, in writing in French, to distinguish it from it may be rendered by nr. 44. The l3 differs in no respect, in pronunciation, from and they may be rendered in the same manner. These two letters are very often confounded in manuscripts. It ought to be observed, however, that in Egypt the is often jironounccd as a z, empliatically. 45. The peculiar pronunciation of ^ cannot be expressed bj' any of the letters used among the nations of Europe. The manner in which the Piedmontese pronounce the n appears to me to approach something to the sound of Examples: can chien, bon bon, botia bonne. 46. The ^ represents a sound which partakes of both r and y. Some writers have rendered this letter by r/i, others by rff, and others by (/h ; but as the sound of the r ought to be almost imperceptible, I have thought it better to employ, in rendering the the g alone or the two letters gh. 47. The (_ 5 answers exactly to p. 48. The indicates a sound very nearly like that of the French k, but it ought to be formed in the throat, and it is very difficult to imitate it well. Many Arabs, those of IMuscat, for example, confound the pro¬ nunciation of this letter with that of ^.and this pronunciation is common in the states of Marocco. In a great part of Egypt, the ^ is only a strong and quick aspiration, and it appears that this sound, very difficult to imitate, was the distinctive characteristic of the Arabs de¬ scended from Modhar. 49. The ijj also answers to k, but it is not pronounced from the throat as the preceding letter. The Turks and many of the Arabs give ARABIC. 19 it a softened pronunciation, analogous to that of q in the French words queue, qui; and it may be rendered by putting an i after k. Some Arabs pronounce the and the ^ as an Italian c before as in the word eio, a sound expressed in French by the letters tch. 50. The (J is perfectly rendered by z, and the ^ by m, 51. The ij is susceptible, according to the Arab grammarians, of many pronunciations. When it is followed by a vowel, it is pronounced always as N in the French word navire, but when it is followed immediately by another consonant the pronunciation varies. 52. The j is pronounced as ou in French, in the words oui, ouate. It can also be rendered by w pronounced in the manner of the English. The Turks and Persians pronounce it as the French v. 53. The !s represents only a very light and often insensible aspiration, as the h in the French words la Hollande, \a. Hongrie, or it indicates only a simple hiatus. 54. The ought to be pronounced as a y consonant, as in the English word yacht. The Germans render it by j, as in the words hejahen, jagd. 55. The ‘i finds a place in the alphabet only because the two letters jJ and of which it is composed, take, in their junction, a form which sometimes renders them unrecognizable. The Vowels. 64. The Arabs have only three signs to indicate all the sounds. The first, namedis formed like an acute accent, and is placed above the consonant with which it forms an articulate sound, as, _ cataba. The sound expressed by the faiha answers sometimes to the French a more or less open, sometimes to e or ai, as in the words succes, faire. The second is called hesra. It is formed similar to the preceding, but is placed beneath the consonant with which it forms an articulate C sound, as in the word nimri. The sound of the hesra answers some¬ times to the French i, sometimes to e. The third, called dhamma, has very nearly the form of our figure 9, sometimes it resembles our (,), and is always placed above the consonant it J with which it forms an articulate sound, as, coullou. The sound of dhamma answers sometimes to the French o, sometimes to ou or eu. 68. The letters 1, ,, and ^ often serve only to prolong the sound of the vowel which precedes them. 74. Besides the three vowel signs before spoken of, the Arabs have three other signs to which they give the name of tenwin, which indicates that the vowel ought to be followed with the articulation of a Our grammarians call them nunnations; I shall call them nasal vowels. These nasal vowels are only placed at the end of words, and they serve to form some grammatical inflexions. Their signs are nothing but the figure of the analogous vowel redoubled ; as, for example^ i__jb bdbon, 20 A11 ABIC. 1 i! > bdbin, \ _j'j bdban. These examples show at the same time the form of the three nasal vowels and their pronunciation. The nasal vowel an ought always to be followed by an as yaiiman, except when it is found over a s, as in luXs-- hicmetan, or followed by a ^_ 5 ' mute, as c jjs, or placed over & hamza, as * io the last case the clif is often preserved after the teitwin, and it is written . The contained in these nasal vowels, in pronunciation, is subject to the same variations as the consonant, and these variations are indicated in the same manner. 77. In a great number of Coufic manuscripts the three vowels are indicated by a very large point, painted ordinarily in red. Placed above the letter it indicates \\\e fatha ; placed below, it indicates the kesru, and placed in the body of the letter or at the end, or in a line with the writing, it indicates the clhamma. In order to indicate the nasal vowels, this point is doubled. 78. In African manuscripts the fatha and the kesra, instead of being inclined as our acute accent, are placed horizontally above or below the consonant to which they belong. Of Orthographical Signs. 89. The (Ijesma is so called, because it separates the artificial syllable at the end of which it is found, from the syllable succeeding. Its name signifies separation. It is placed above the letter, and is formed thus C jC. i (‘'), as in the word 1 oh-oe chargerl hy the Keepers of the said Gazettes for Publication therein at a higher Price, nor .shall a higher Price he paid for such I’ub- lication, than the Sums specified in the Schedule (E.) hereunto annexed. s. 145. “ .And he it enacted.

In printing offices where there are large founts of letter, and the fount cases of any particular fount are not sufficient to hold the superfluous sorts, the surplus is put in coffins, and deposited in round baskets, till wanted. BATTER. When the face of any letters gets injured in a form, it is termed a Batter. This accident frequently occurs : — in the course of working at press a letter or letters will draw out in beating, and occasionally be left on the form without being perceived ; this, when the next impression is pulled, injures the page on which it was left; — a pin, needle, or bodkin, used as pickers, will sometimes be laid on a page and forgot — and other small articles, which produce the same injury. It also happens with forms reared up at the ends of frames, where the faces of the letter in the forms are put to each other, with a quoin, or a piece of furniture, to prevent them touching, which being accidentally displaced, the letter gets injured. The only thing to be done when these accidents occur, is to replace the letters ; this however is too frequently done without showing a revise to the Reader or Overseer; and thus errors creep into a work, which no care on the part of a Reader can prevent. To steady careful men these accidents seldom happen ; and they ought to be guarded against, in as much as they cause loss of time to the workmen, and expense of materials to the master printer; and when letters or words must be replaced, the work should never be proceeded with at press, previously to its being examined. When a fine engraving on wood is at press, the workman should be most particularly careful, as an accident might thus spoil an expensive work of art, which it might be impossible to replace. When a Batter unfortunately happens at press in working stereotype plates, it is. too frequently overlooked by the pressmen, and the work proceeds in a deteriorated state; while, generally speaking, if the same accident had happened to a form of moveable types it would have been set right. The reason is, that while in the latter case the accident could be remedied in a few minutes, the stereotype plate on the other hand would have to be taken out of the form and sent to the founders, and would not be repaired in less than five or six hours, during which time the pressmen would be unemployed, to their loss. This is one cause that operates against the more general use of stereotype plates. BEARD OF A LETTER, is the outer angle of the square shoulder of the shank, which reaches almost up to the bottom of the face of the letter ; and is commonly scraped off by the Founder. — M. BEARER. A piece of reglet pasted on the frisket to ease any parti¬ cular part in a form that has too much pressure on it from the platen of the press. — M. Double Pica reglet is used for this purpose, as its thickness is equal to the difference between the height of the types and the furniture; and this application of it makes this sized reglet in general a scarce article in a printing office. Where any parts of the impression of a form come off hard, which from various causes occasionally happens, particularly at the .edges of the pages, and at the foot of a short page, a bearer is applied to- ease that part; but some care however is required in its application — it must not bear upon any printed matter at the back of it, for if it does, it will smear and deface that part, nor is it necessary to place it close to the part, but it may be put at some distance, and if convenient near the 32 ]}ENGALESE. outer edge of the paper, and made to rest on the flat part of the fur¬ niture. After selecting a piece of reglet of the proper length, paste one side of it, and place it with the pasted side uppermost upon the furniture where it is required, then turn down the tyinpans and frisket and rub that part with the hand to make it adhere to the frisket; or, as is usually done, after the form is beat, when the next pull will make it adhere; if it be not quite sufficient, a thickness or two of a wrapper pasted on it will ease the pull sufficiently on that part. //iff/i Hearers, are pieces of furniture made barely letter height; they are used where separate wood cuts are printed, or very small forms ; they are placed on the press stone, usually pasted down, but at such a distance from the printed matter that neither the balls nor the rollers touch them in inking the form; they lighten the pressure on the extremities, and tend to equalize the pull if the carriage be not run in exactly to its place, by the platen bearing upon them. If they be not sufficiently high, they may be added to by overlays pasted upon them. • HEAT. To cover the surface of the types with ink by means of the balls.— M. See Eise 1’uesswork. HEAT EAT. If a Erossman takes too much ink with Ins balls, he beats fat. The black English faced letter is generally beaten fat. — M. At the present day we understand by Fat Heating, that a pressman beating carefully, goes gradually two or three times over the form, so that every j)art of the surface of the type is touched six or seven times by the face of the balls; and is thus uniformly covered with a proper quantity of ink. HEAT LEAN. Is to take but little ink, and often: all small letter must be beaten lean. — M. This and the jireceding term Heat Fat, have ehanged their meaning since the days of ^loxon ; to beat lean now, is to beat lightly, and (|uickly make a riddance of work, without much regard to its quality. HED. To bed or lay the press stone in the coffin, so that it shall lie firm and solid in all jiarts. — .V. There are difl'erent ways of bedding a press stone: some bed it in bran ; some in plaster; but tlie general way is with paper. To effect this the paper ought not to have any large knots in it, and should be cut to the size of the coffin, and if there be any in¬ equalities in the bottom of the stone, there must be additional pieces of paper placed under it to fill them up. N\ hen it is sui)posed there is suf¬ ficient paper in the coffin to raise the stone high enough, it is slung in on two pieces of cord, and a trial made of its firmness; if it rocks, it is lifted out again, and adrlitional paper placed in those parts where the stone did not rest firmly. When it is properly bedded, the ends of the cords are tucked in at the sides of the stone so as to be easily picked out again with a bodkin. When the stone has got to lie solid with working, the upper side should be about a Hrevier higher than the coffin. Although I have mentioned cord, as being generally used for slinging the stone into the coffin, and lifting it out again, yet strong flat tape is decidedly superior; the stone lies more solid with it than with cord, and is not so liable to break. Benefactions. See Donations. BENGALESE. The following article is extracted from Nathaniel Brassey Halhed’s Grammar of the Bengal Language. “ Exclusive of the Shanscrit, there are three different dialects applied ftlio’ not with equal currency) in the kingdom of Bengal; \ iz. the Persian, the Hindostanic and the proper Bengalese; each of which has BENGALESE. 38 its own peculiar department in the business of the country, and conse¬ quently neither of them can be universally adopted to the exclusion of the others.” ‘‘ What the pure Hindostanic is to upper India, the language which I have here endeavoured to explain is to Bengal, intimately related to the Shanscrit both in expressions, construction and character. It is the sole channel of personal and epistolary communication among the Hin¬ doos of every occupation and tribe. All their business is transacted, and all their accounts are kept in it; and as their system of education is in general very confined, there are few among them who can write or read any other idiom : the uneducated, or eight parts in ten of the whole nation, are necessarily confined to the usage of their mother tongue.” The Shanscrit, or sacred language of Hindostan, from whence the dialect of Bengal immediately proceeds, is supposed by its professors to be the most antient and most excellent in the world. They assert that it exceeds every other language in the number of its letters, and esteem this excess as an incdhtrovertible argument of its antiquity and superiority. “ The Bengal Alphabet, like that of the Shanscrit, consists of fifty letters, in the following order. First Series. ^ 0 ^ 1 aa t ee ^ ee vS 00 ^ oo ree ^ ree Iree a ^ i ^3 o ou ung oh Second Set 'ies. ^ ko k,ho ' go ^ g,ho ^ ngoo-o ^ cho g to ^ chjho ^ t,ho ^ jo ^ do W j,ho d,ho ^ gnee-o ^ aano ^ to ^ t,ho do H d,ho ^ no po p,ho ^ ho sQ b,ho mo TT jo ^ ro ^ lo ^ wo — sho ^ sho ^ so ^ ho khy-o “ It is to be observed, that in the Bengal alphabet, all the names of the consonants commence with the respective consonants which they denote; as ko, go, jo, &c. whereas in English, seven of them are pre¬ ceded by a vowel: ef, el, em, en, ar, ess, & ex. It follows from hence, that the short vow^^^f the Bengalese is invariably subjoined to the con¬ sonant with wh^h it is uttered, and never precedes: as ^ and rj always stand fffl^ko, and go, and in no case for ok, or og. The vowels, as used in composition, when joined with consonants, have a very different figure from those which are in the first series of D 34 BENGALESE. the alphabet. I shall here insert a table of the forms of vowels in com¬ position, corresponding to those which are initial or single. A Table the corresponding Vowels. ^ 0 ^ ko (the included vowel.) aa ^ 1 kaa a ka ee kee ' i ki or ko-i ^ ee kee <3 o C^1ko ^ 00 ^ koo iK ou C^1 kou oo o o ung kung • “ By the original structure of this language every consonant inhe¬ rently possesses the short vowel on whicli its utterance depends ; it is plain therefore on this principle, that no two consonants could have been joined together, and successively pronounced in the same sylla¬ ble, but that a vowel must necessarily have intervened. As an expedient to remedy this inconvenience, a set of distinct cliaracters were invented, called P,holaa, or adjuncts. They are certain subordinate and subsidiary figures, that may be attached to each of the consonants in the alphabet respectively, to provide against the too frequent recurrence of the internal vowel. “ These P,holaa, are presented in a distinct series or alphabet, con¬ sisting of eleven subservient marks or signs, for different letters; which are here joined to ^ ko, the first of the single consonants, and which may, in the same manner, be apirlied to all the other letters. “ The twelfth word of the series, (which seems to be added by the Bengalese merely to fill up the rytlim) relates to another subject, which will be explained in a subsequent remark. “ The reader must remember, that the letter ^ ro, in its proper character, is never joined to any other letter or adjunct; but its figure is entirely changed by a connection with other consonants, as will be seen in the following series. “ The (jvelve P ’,HOI.AS.

This last mode seems to be the most common. sheedd,hee, called the twelfth Pjholaa, is a word always prefixed to the class of vowels contained in the first Series of the al¬ phabet. Sheeddjiee is part of a Shanscrit sentence, which means be it properly performed; and as these words ai-e usually prefixed to the class of vowels, that Series has obtained the name of sheeddfiee. “ The Series Sheed,hee. shee dd,hee ro stoo t o aa ee ee . § 00 oo ree ree \ee lee a i v3 0 0 O ou ung oh o, is always an initial letter, aa, is also initial. I shall set down a few of the’most common contractions of letters which are constantly used by all the Bengalese, as being more expedi¬ tious, as well as more elegant than a simple junction of the single letters, whose office they perform. kro, stands for ^ the kirro Pholaa. okto, is ^ to blended with ^ ko ; its regular form is ^ koo, stands for ^ ko with hroswookaar. ^ ungo, is compounded of ^ ngoo-o with ^ go subjoined. 36 ‘ BENGALESE. ^ oggyo, is another figure for the Pholaa ^ ^ moo, is 51 mo and ^ wo compounded. The simple form is ^ . ^ oshno, for ^ i. e. aano subjoined to ^ sho. shoo, initial and medial, shoo, final; two figures for ^ Tliis figure stands for both ^ otto and ^ too. ‘s5 goo, is used for ^ ^ * ^ hoo. Stands for ^ ^ * yi ohro, is kro Pholaa subjoined to lio. ^ tro, stands for 3" ^ * ^ roo, is used instead of ^ , ohlo, is ^ lo subjoined to ^ ho. ^ ondo, compounded of ^ aano and ^ do. ^ ohjo, is ^ ho jmd jo blended together. ^ ohmo, a compound of ^ ho and 5T mo. ^5 ostoo, is so and ^ to, with hroswookaar subjoined. ^ ostro, is the letter ^ so compounded with ^ to, and the kro Pholaa. ^ joo, stands for ogd,ho, ^ odd,ho, ^ ond,ho, represent ^ d‘ho severally subjoined to ^ go, ^ do, and ^ no. ^ this figure is called ordd,lio-to, i. e. setni-to; for ordd,ho signifies half. It is used for the letter ^ to Avitliout its internal vowel; and in the middle of a word is generally represented by ^ the numerical figure of two. ^ otyo, is the preceding blended with the kyo pholaa. “ I shall now proceed to a few marks of reference commonly used by the Bengalese. “ This figure is always put at the top of every writing, and is meant as an invocation to Gonash, the Deity of Knowledge and Arts ; it is called Gonashar aakorce, or the crook of Gonash. So the Mahometans always begin with the letter 1 aleph, as a token of the unity of God. “ o Chaandboondaa, is a mark put over certain letters to give them a very forcible nasal expression. “ e Eeshwor, is properly one of the deities of the Hindoo Trinity. The name of God was supposed too holy to be inserted among the general class of words, and was therefore written at the top of the page, and wherever this name should occur in a sentence, the mark here spe¬ cified w'as put as a reference to it. The foi-m still remains, but the usage is degraded into a mere compliment; for in all petitions, or letters BENGALESE. 37 from inferiors to their superiors^ the name of the person addressed is now put at the top, and this sign of reference occupies the place in the body of the letter, where the name should regularly have been inserted. “ ^^Sree properly signifies prosperity, and is prefixed to every name which they mean to mention with respect; as sree sree Raam, sree sree Gonash. “ One or more of these titles of Hindoo deities is first written on every piece of paper, as an amulet or charm, before any letter, petition or other writing whatever, is committed to it. In the same manner the Mahometans universally apply their Bismillah (or. In the name o/" God.) as we formerly wrote Emanuel at the top of letters, and still continue to commence a ledger with Laus Deo. “ The denominations of the cardinal numbers are so irregular in Ben¬ galese, that I find it will be necessary to exhibit them as far as one hundred. And it must be observed as a particularity, that the ninth numeral of every series of ten, is not specified by the term of nine in the common order of progression, but takes its appellation from the series immediately above; as for instance the number twenty nine is not expressed by noheesh, which should seem the proper denomination, but is called oonteesh, or one less than thirty. So thirty nine is oonchaa- leesh, or one less than forty. b 1 ^b 21 8b 41 Ob 61 bb 81 2 22 8^ 42 0^ 62 b:^ 82 0 3 ^0 23 80 43 00 63 bO 83 8 4 ^^8 24 88 44 08 64 b8 84 G 5 25 8G 45 OG 65 bG 85 6 26 80 46 00 66 bO 86 7 27 89 47 0^ 67 bq 87 b* 8 28 8b 48 Ob 68 bb 88 9 29 8^ 49 69 b^ 89 bo 10 Oo 30 Go 50 9o 70 c^o 90 bb 11 Ob 31 Gb 51 9^ 71 hi 91 b^ 12 0^ 32 G^ 52 9\ 72 92 bo 13 00 33 GO 53 9^ 73 ^0 93 b8 14 08 34 G8 54 98 74 h8 94 bG 15 OG 35 GG 55 9(L 75 h(L 95 b\i 16 00 36 GO 56 9box algum-trees alledgeth alledging Alleluia almond-tree almug-trecs Alpheus ambassage ancle any wise apple-tree Arimathea armour-bearer Aser Asher ass colts asswaged awl axe axe axle-trees bakc-meats Balac Balak banqucttlng-housc I barley-bread * barley-cakes barley-har^’cst j barley* loaves ! barley-meal 1 barley-seed I Bartimcus Ixason ! balllc-axc battle-bow I beastiality !

I Ps.lxv. 1. “ The Hebrew word, which is in our English Bible rendered ‘ The Lord,’ is in the Hebrew the High and Holy name of God himself, the most solemh of all words — Jehovah. It is a general rule throughout the Old Testament, that, wheresoever the word ‘ Lord ' is printed in capital letters, it will be found on looking into the Hebrew Bible, that the word there written was Jehovah. And for this difference, between the trans¬ lation and the original work, the following reason is given. The later Jews have a fancy that this name of Jehovah is so sacred and aweful, that it could never be spoken, excepting by the High Priest once in a year, without the sin of taking God's name in vain. And accordingly when, at this day, they read the Scriptures in their Synagogues, whenever the word Jehovah is used, they say Adonai, or Lord, in its place. But the learned men, by whom our English Bible was translated, had BILL. 49 been instructed in Hebrew by the Jews ; and were so far moved by their example, as to feel the same anxiety, with their teachers, to prevent this name from being commonly spoken. Instead, therefore, of writing ‘ Jehovah,’ they have written for the most part ‘ The Lord but they have written it in capital letters that the Lord of Heaven and Earth might be distinguished from all His creatures.” — Bishop Hebers Ser¬ mons, vol. ii. England is the only Protestant country in Europe where the printing of Bibles is a monopoly. For the allowance of the duty on paper used in the printing of Bibles, see Paper. BILL, with letter founders, a specific proportionate number of types, the datum from which the proportion is estimated being 3,000 lower case ems. A bill of Pica weighs 800 pounds, including italic, which is in the proportion of one tenth of the roman. The term “ bill” is not used among printers, although it is by the letter founders; this would be styled by printers, a fount of Pica of eight hundred weight. Smith is, as far as I am aware, the first writer who published the number of each sort that the founders cast to 3,000 ems; and he also made some alterations in the numbers previously cast by the letter founders, by enlarging the numbers of some sorts, and by lessening the quantity of others,” “ to try whether a fount of letter would turn out more perfect than it sometimes does.” Later writers have copied Smith’s numerical list of sorts, as well as his altered numbers, and by copying his words without mentioning his name each of them appears to the public as having suggested an improvement, while, in fact, the founders pay no regard to these proportions, but cast from a scale of their own. The late Earl Stanhope gave another scale of numbers, produced by counting the letters and points to a certain extent in Enfield’s Speaker; but as he discarded the ligatures, and added what he called “ Logotypes,” his numbers are not followed. I do not know on what datum the number of each letter was originallj^ obtained, as cast by the founders; but it is well known in practice that a great number of imperfections are always wanted in a printing office; and from the construction of language it appears there alwaj's will be a great number of particular sorts deficient, whatever the proportions may be at first. In proof of this it may be stated, that a new fount of letter shall be cast for the purpose of printing a work; in composing this letter it shall be found that there is a great deficiency of some letters, and a superabundance of others : to bring the whole fount into use, for the pur¬ pose of composing as many pages as possible, the deficient sorts are cast, till the proportions answer to each other. When this work is finished, another author’s work is to be printed with the same letter: the dispro¬ portion is again felt; those which at the first were deficient are now superabundant, and those which were abundant will be deficient; so that the master printer, to keep the whole of his letter in use is obliged to be continually casting those deficiencies and thus enlarging his founts. The disuse of the long f, which took , place some years ago, and also of 61, has varied the proportions considerably of the letters composing their combinations, b, h, i, k, 1, and t. The following Table shows the old numbers, also Smith’s and Earl Stanhope’s; those at present cast by the letter founders, I give on the authority of Messrs.

The figures and the em and en quadrats would be found very inadequate for table work: in fact, in all these cases it would be im¬ perative to cast additional numbers. Earl Stanhope introduced the following sorts, each in one piece, of which he gives the following numbers to be cast for a fount of the pre¬ ceding weight: — an, 1,620 — in, 1,731 — of, 1,035 — on, 897 — re, 1,509 — se, 1,152 —th, 3,024 — to, 1,095. — See Logotype. His Lordship, in fact, attempted to introduce too many alterations in printing. I had the honour of knowing him for some years, and he frequently described to me his intended improvements: one was, to make the bottom of the boxes in the cases concave, so that the types should al¬ ways be convenient for the compositor to pick up ; another was, to lay four different sized types in the same pair of cases; another, to alter the curve at the top of the f, and discard its ligatures ; another, to cast certain Logotypes. Some of these were not improvements in practice ; and the others, except they had been generally adopted, would have destroyed uniformity in works that were printed in different houses, in addition to the great expense and inconvenience both to letter founders and printers. In attempting too much, none of his plans were adopted, so far as related to composing. Discarding the long f has also abolished lb, fh, fi, 11c, 11, If, fli, ft, and has consequently increased the number of the round s, and the connected letters. 52 BLACK LETTER.

In locking-up a form, if the licad-stick be longer than the widtli of the page and the tliickness of the back-stick ; or tlie side or foot stick extend beyond the page and the other be a little too long; or any part of the furniture double over some other part, so as to prevent the quoins wedging the matter tight, it is termed Binding : the head-stick hinds ; the side-sticks hind, &c. — J/. BITE. If the frisket is not sufficiently cut away, but covers some part of the form, so that it jirints on the frisket, it is called a Bite. — J/. It interposes between the form and the paper to be printed on, and pre¬ vents the latter receiving the inked impression intended to be transferred to it. A pressman looks carefully over his first sheet to see that all is richt, and if there be a bite he cuts it out of the frisket with his scissors: if one should at first escape his eye, it is cut out as soon as it is perceived. BLACK LETTER is the name now ajiplied to the Old English or Modern Gothic character, which was introduced into England about the middle of the fourteenth century, and became the character generally used in manuscript works before the art of printing was pulilicly practised in Europe. On the application of that art to the multiplying of books, about the middle of the fifteenth centurj-, the. Block Books, and, subsequently, those printed with moveable types, were in this letter, to imitate writing, and were dis])osed off as manuscripts. When the first William Caslon commenced the business of type founding he made great improvements in their shape, and his Gothic or black letter remains unequalled, viewing it as an imitation of ancient writing, the purest shape for the character originally intended for a counterfeit manuscript. I am sorry to see our present founders giving way to a barbarous caprice of fancy, by intro¬ ducing arbitrary shapes, which were unknown to our ancestors when this character was in general use ; for it appears inconsistent to call the following Letters Old English, or Gothic, i2, £, X, “tJf 77te Alphahet. n 15 c D c e 5 o p o u 5) € a 22 a * f? a b c D c f g S i j UI IB R 0 P n f ss t II V p 3- Astle, in bis Origin and Progress of Writing, says, “ The Modern Gothic, which spread itself all over Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth BLASPHEMY. 53 centuries, is improperly so called, because it does not derive its origin from the writing anciently used by the Goths and Visigoths, in Italy and Spain, but this Modern Gothic is the most barbarous or worst kind of writing; it took its rise in the decline of the arts, among the lazy school¬ men, who had the worst taste; it is nothing more than the Latin writing degenerated. This writing began in the twelfth century, and was in general use (especially among monks and schoolmen) in all parts of Europe, till the restoration of the arts, in the fifteenth century, and longer in Germany and the northern nations : Our statute books are still printed in Gothic letters.” Astle’s work was published in 1784.

See Presswork. BLANK PAGES. When blank pages occur in a work, particularly in duodecimos and smaller sizes, the compositor will find it an advantage to set them up the exact size of the pages of the work, and made up to his gauge, so that he will have his register good without the trouble that attends filling the blank up with pieces of Furniture by guess work, which causes extra trouble to the pressman.

The act of putting the different gatherings of a work together, in the warehouse, so as to make complete books. This is done by laying the gatherings in order upon a table, and, commencing with the first, taking them up in order; by adopting this method they are gathered under hand, as it may be termed, the succession being placed at the bottom as the person proceeds. The reverse of this method, is, however, to be preferred; to commence at the end of the work, and as the gathering is held in the hand, and rests on the arm, to lay the others upon it as they are taken up, so that in this way the commencement of the book will be the last to be gathered.

After the form is locked-up and the stone cleared, these bowed (or bent) letters are thrown into the shoe. BOWYER. Extract from the Will of Mr. William Bowyer, Printer, who died on the 18th of November, 1777, w hen he had nearly completed his 78th year. “ And note I hope I may be allowed to leave somewhat for the benefit of printing. To this end, I give to the master and keepers^ or wardens and commonalty, of the mistery or art of a Stationer of the city of London, such a sum of money as will pur¬ chase Two Thousand Pounds, three per cent. Reduced Bank Annuities, upon trust, to pay the dividends and yearly produce thereof, to be divided for ever equally amongst three printers, compositors or pressmen, to be elected from time to time by the master, wardens, and assistants, of the said company, and who at the time of such election shall be sixty-three years old or upwards, for their respective lives, to be paid half yearly ; BOXAWOD. 89 hoping that such as shall be most deserving will be preferred. And whereas I have herein before given to my son the sum of Three Thousand Pounds four per cent. Con¬ solidated Annuities, in case he marries with the consent of my executors; now, I do hereby give and bequeath the dividends and interest of that sum, till such marriage takes place, to the said Company of Stationers, to be divided equally between six other printers, compositors or pressmen, as aforesaid, in manner as aforesaid; and, if my said son shall die unmarried, or married without such consent as aforesaid, then I give and bequeath the said capital sum of Three Thousand Pounds to the said Company of Stationers, the dividends and yearly produce thereof to be divided for ever equally amongst six other such old printers, compositors or pressmen, for their respective lives, to be qualified, chosen, and paid, in manner as aforesaid.— It has long been to me matter of concern, that such numbers are put apprentices, as compositors, without any share of school-learning, who ought to have the greatest: in hopes of remedying this, I give AND bequeath to the said Company of Stationers such a sum of money as will purchase One Thousand Pounds three per cent. Reduced Bank Annuities, for the use of one journeyman compositor, such as shall hereafter be described, with this special trust, that the master, wardens, and assistants, shall pay the dividends and produce thereof half- yearly to such compositor: the said master, wardens, and assistants, of the said company, shall nominate for this purpose a compositor who is a man of good life and conversation, who shall usually frequent some place of public worship every Sunday, unless prevented by sickness, and shall not have worked on a newspaper or magazine for four years at least before such nomination, nor shall ever afterwards whilst he holds this annuity, which may be for life if he continues a journeyman; he shall be able to read and con¬ strue Latin, and at least to read Greek fluently with accents; of which he shall bring a testimonial from the rector of St. Martin’s, Ludgate, for the time being; I could wish that he shall have been brought up piously and virtuously, if it be possible, at Merchant Taylor’s, or some other public school, from seven years of age till he is full seventeen, and then to serve seven years faithfully as a compositor, and work seven years more as a journeyman, as I would not have this annuity bestowed on any one under thirty-one years of age: if, after he is chosen, he should behave ill, let him be turned out, and another be chosen in his stead. And whereas it may be many years before a com¬ positor may be found that shall exactly answer the above description, and it may at some time happen that such a one cannot be found ; I would have the dividends in the meantime applied to such person as the master, wardens, and assistants, shall think ap¬ proaches nearest to what I have described. And whereas the above trusts will occasion some trouble; 1 give to the said Company, in case they think proper to accept the trusts, two hundred and flfty pounds.”— Extracted from Anecdotes, Literary and Bio¬ graphical, of Mr. Bowyer, by J.N. [John Nichols?] in Gent. Mag. Dec. 1778,570. 6,000/. stock was immediately transferred by the executors of Mr. Bowyer, and now stands in the name of the Company; the yearly dividend is 180/. — Hansard’s Typogra- phia, p. 280. Note. BOX. The divisions of a case, in which the letters lie, are termed Boxes; as the a box, the c box, the i box, &c. Box. The female screw in the head of a press, in which the spindle works. It is made of brass, and is usually cast on the screw of the spindle, round on the outside with a projecting part of about half an inch on the whole length of each opposite side, to keep it firm in the head, and prevent it turning round. It is fitted tightly into the head, and kept in its place by two bolts, driven into the under side, with return heads which project over the bottom of the box. It is also called the Nut of the Spindle. BOXWOOD. The best boxwood used in engraving is of a good yel¬ low colour, of a fine close grain, that has been of a slow growth, clear of knots and any imperfections, such as cracks or flaws; the finest lines may be engraved on this wood, as it is both hard and tough, and, with care in printing, the number of impressions that may be taken from an engraving on it would appear incredible. Papillon, in his History of Engraving on Wood, gives a specimen, from which, he states, there had been upwards of three hundred and seventy thousand impressions previously printed; and if the block had been carefully cleaned, and well printed, it would still have produced respectable impressions. Boxwood of a dull bad yel¬ low colour, and of an open coarse grain, is not fit for engraving on, nei- 90 BRASS RULES. ther is wood that is of a blackish colour at the heart; for, in these cases, it has begun to decay, is brittle and tender, and if engraved on, the lines would not stand, but would fail in printing. Our principal supply of box¬ wood comes from the Levant, and is called Turkey box. BRACE. A character cast in metal thus marked r—The com¬ positor is to have these cast of several breadths, viz. to several number of lines of a designed body (most commonly of Pica body) tliat they may hook in or brace so many lines as his copy may show him. — M. It is used in poetry at the end of a triplet, or three lines which have the same rhyme. Braces are also used to connect a number of M’ords with one common term, and arc irjtroduced to prevent a repetition in writing or jirinting.— Murray. Braces are cast to different bodies as high as English; and braces on Long Primer are now cast from three to eight ems in length, which look much neater than the old fashion of middles and corners, filled up with metal rules. 'I'he founders in casting long Braces always make the swell in the face of them proportionably thick to their length, so that in using them with small letter they look heavy and clumsy; I would recommend that long Braces should be cast to a small body, not larger than lirevier, and the faces of all the lengths uniform, so that when there happens to be a range of them of different lengths in a page they might harmonize, and not make such an incongruous appearance as they now do. When Braces are wanted longer than those already cast, I would not use middles and corners, but make them of Brass Rule in one continued piece, which has a better appearance than when they are joined, and which may be made with a file in a neat manner by any clever compositor. Bracket. See Crotchet. Bramah’s Press. Sec Hydrostatic Press. BRANCHING-OUT. Opening or extending the matter in title-pages, heads of pages, or other parts, and also in jobs, with quadrats, leads, rcglet, or other proper materials. BR.VSS RULES. Pieces of brass of different thicknesses made letter high, to print with. — M. They are made in lengths of fourteen inches, but of late years lengths half as long again have been made; one of the edges is bevilled so as to print a fine line, and when a thicker line is required the bottom edge is placed uppermost, which is the full thickness of the brass; by this means lines of different thicknesses are obtained, and also double lines, a thick one and a fine one when required. They are used for column lines in table work; to separate matter that requires to be distinct; and to be placed round pages. I have found in practice that the best May of forming a good joining at the corners uith brass rule, is to cut the rules a little longer than the precise length M'anted, and to let one piece project a little at each corner ; to push the other piece close up, and, M hen the form is locked up, then to file the projecting parts au ay, M'hich makes the corners equal, asshoM'n beloM-. Wherever tuo rules join, the end of that M'hich abuts on the other should be cut with a little bevil, so that the upper side should project a BREAD. 91 little to form a junction with the face of the other ; this also prevents the rule binding at bottom. An ingenious compositor will make many things out of brass rules, such as neat long braces, instead of using middles, corners, and metal rules, which rarely join well, swell rules of different varieties, and many fancy rules, as occasion may require. In cases where diagrams are required, and there is no engraver within reach, they may be formed by a clever workman, with brass rule. There have been of late years many ingenious and elaborate performances with this article in imitation of architectural drawings of buildings, with pillars, &c.; and I believe no one has displayed more ingenuity and skill in the production of such works than Mr. Ebenezer Parkes, of Fetter Lane. BRAYER. A round wooden rubber with an upright handle, almost 1 of the fashion of a ball stock, but solid and flat at the bottom, and not above three inches in diameter. It is used on the ink 9 block, to bray or rub out ink with so as to spread it out in such a manner that a small quantity may be taken up when the ball is pressed upon the block, tolerably diffused upon the surface, and not in a mass, which causes the ink to be more expeditiously distributed, with less risk of making monks and friars. BREAD, SALE OF, Ireland. 1 & 2 Viet. c. 28. “An Act to repeal the several Acts now in force relating to Bread to be sold in Ireland, and to provide other Regula¬ tions for the making and Sale of Bread, and for preventing the Adulteration of Meal, Flour, and Bread, in that Part of the United Kingdom called Ireland." s. 7. “ And be it enacted. That no Baker or other Person who shall make Bread for Sale in Ireland, nor any Journeyman or other Servant of any such Baker or other Per¬ son, shall, at any Time or Times, in the making of Bread for sale in Ireland, use any Mixture or Ingredient whatever in the making of such Bread other than and except as herein-before mentioned, on any Account or under any Colour or Pretence whatsoever in the making of such Bread, upon pain that every such Person, whether Master or Journeyman, Servant or other Person, who shall offend in the Premises, and shall be convicted of any such Offence by the Oath, or in case of a Quaker by Affirmation, of One or more credible Witness or Witnesses, or by his, her, or their own Confession, shall for every such Offence forfeit and pay any Sum not exceeding Five Pounds nor less than Fifty Shillings, or in default thereof shall, by Warrant under the Hands and Seals of the Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices before whom such Offender shall be convicted, be apprehended and committed to the House of Correction, or some Prison of the City, County, Borough, or Place where the Offence shall have been com¬ mitted, or the Offender or Offenders apprehended, there to remain for any Time not exceeding Three Calendar Months, with or without hard Labour, from the Time of such Commitment, unless the Penalty shall be sooner paid, as any such Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices shall think fit to order; and it shall he lawful for the Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices before whom any such Offender or Offenders shall be convicted to cause the Offender’s Name, Place of Abode, and Offence to be published in some Newspaper or Newspapers which shall be printed or published in or near the City, County, Borough, or Place where the Offence shall have been com¬ mitted ; and the Proprietor and Proprietors, Printer and Printers, and every other Person or Persons concerned therein, are hereby authorized to print and publish the same when he, she, or they is or are required so to do by or by the Order of such Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices; and he, she, or they is and are hereby indemnified from any Prosecution or Prosecutions for printing and publishing the same or causing the same to be printed and published in such Newspaper or Newspapers by or from any Person or Persons whomsoever, any Law, Statute, or Usage to the contrary thereof in anywise notwithstanding; and the Costs and Charges of such printing and publishing shall be paid out of such last-mentioned Penalty or Forfeiture, in case any shall be so forfeited, paid, or recovered.” s. 11. “ And be it enacted. That every Miller, Mealman, Flour Factor, or Baker in Ireland, in whose House, Mill, Shop, Stall, Bakehouse, Bolting-house, Pastry Ware¬ house, Outhouse, Ground or Possession any Ingredient or Mixture shall be found which shall, after due Examination, be adjudged by any Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices of the Peace to have been deposited there for the Purpose of being 92 BROKEN LETTER, used in adulterating INIeal, Flour, Dough, or Bread, shall, upon being convicted of any such Offence, either by his, her, or their Confession, or by the Oath, or in case of a Quaker by Affirmation, of One or more credible Witness or Witnesses, forfeit and pay on every such Conviction any Sum not exceeding Ten Pounds nor less than Forty Shillings for the First Offence, Five Pounds for the Second Offence, and Ten Pounds for every subsequent Offence, or in default of Payment thereof shall, by Warrant under the Hand and Seal or Hands and Seals of the Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Jus¬ tices before whom such Offender shall be convicted, be apprehended and committed to the House of Correction or some Prison of the City, Countv, or Place where the Offence shall have been committed, or the Offender or Offenders shall be, there to remain for any Time not exceeding Three Calendar Months, with or without hard Labour, from the Time of such Commitment, (unless the Penalty be sooner paid,) as any such Magistrate or ^Magistrates, Justice or Justices shall think fit and order; and it shall be lawful for the Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices before whom any such Offender shall be convicted to cause the Offender’s Name, Place of Abode, and Offence to be published in some Newspaper or Newspapers which shall be printed or published in or near the City, County, Borough, or Place where the Offence shall have been committed; and the Proprietor or Proprietors, Printer or Printers, and every other Person and Persons concerned therein, are hereby authorized to print and publish the same when he, she, or they is or are required so to do by or by the Order of such Magistrate or Magistrates, Justice or Justices; and he, she, or they is and are hereby indemnified from any Prosecution or Prosecutions for printing and publishing the same or causing the same to be printed and published in such Newspaper or News- ])apers by or from any Person or Persons whomsoever, any Law, Statute, or Usage to the contrary notwithstanding; and the Costs and Charges of such printing and pub¬ lishing shall be paid out of such last-mentioned Penalty or Forfeiture, if any such shall be so forfeited and paid or recovered.” BRE.\K. A piece of a line. — -V. Tlie last line of a paragraph. Bueve. See Accented Lettehs. BREVIER. The iianie of a type, a size smaller than Bourgeois, and larger than Minion. In Moxon’s time 112 Brevier bodies measured a foot. See Types. BRING-UR. To bring-up a form of types is to place overlays over those parts on xvhich the pressure is deficient in order to increase it and to equalize it over the whole surface of the form. With wood-cuts, in which an equal pressure over the whole surface is not wanted, it is to place underlays on the bottom of the block, under those parts which require to come stronger than the rest, these are the dark parts and the foreground, and to cut away the tympan sheet over the light parts and the distances when requisite, and to overlay those parts which require to be firm, with smooth thin paper. I have always found India paper the best, but the minute hard particles and all the ex¬ traneous substances, shoidd be taken out bj’ scraping it carefullj’ with a knife, so as to render it quite smooth and even, otherwise the engraving will be injured. In order to produce the finest impression possible, it is necessary that it should be the impression of the surface of the types and the engraving, and the surface only ; therefore it is requisite to have very little blanket in the tympans, and that of the finest kerseymere or woollen cloth, or paper alone, so that it shall not be pressed in between the lines, which, when the pressman neglects this precaution, produces rough coarse lines ; of course the overlays should be as few as possible and of very thin paper. See Fine Presswork, Making Ready, Overlay, Underlay. BROAD. The technical name of a piece of furniture equal in width to a broad quotation. BROADSIDE. A form of one full page, printed on one side of a whole sheet of paper, whatever size the paper may be of: thus, we have demy broadsides — royal broadsides — double crown broadsides, tS:c. BROKEN LETTER. By broken letter is not meant the breaking of CANON. 93 the shanks of any of the letters, but the breaking of the orderly succession in which the letters stood in a line, page, or form, &c. and mingling the letters together, these mingled letters being called pie.— 'M. Instead of Broken Letter it is now styled Broken Matter. BROKEN MATTER. The deranging the order of types after they are composed, so as to make it pie. Moxon styles it Broken Letter, which see, BROKEN NECK. A ball is said to be broken-necked, when the wool in the bowl of the ball stock separates from the body of wool in the ball; so that when the ball is held in a horizontal position by the handle it hangs down in a flabby manner. BULK. A platform fixed to the end of a frame on which to put a letter board with letter ; there is another sort sometimes adopted, called a Loose Bulk, which is a small table made of deal, for the same purpose, but moveable to any part where it is most convenient to use it. BULLET. When a workman, at case or press, either for neglect, want of punctuality, or for gross misconduct, is discharged instanter, and the usual notice of “ a fortnight” is not given, it is said. He has got the Bullet. BUNDLE. A bundle of paper consists of two reams. See Paper, Ream. Bur. See Rag. BUTTON OF THE TYMPAN. An iron button with a female screw, screwed on a square shanked bolt, that goes through the bottom frame of the outer tympan, in wooden presses, and turns on the upper side of the inner tympan, to assist in keeping it tight in its place. In very fine work also, when the paper is stout and heavy and large sheets, and it is not customary to fly the frisket, but to turn it down upon the paper before the tympan is turned down upon the form, a button is placed upon the lower frame of the outer tympan, which clasps the extreme end of the frisket, and confines the sheet of paper in its place on the tympan, and prevents it slipping down. C. CANCEL. At the conclusion of a work, if there be any leaves can¬ celled, it is useful to place a mark in the white line of the odd page of the reprinted leaf, to prevent a mistake on the part of the bookbinder ; a *, f, ijl) lU or either upright or laid flat. This is too frequently neglected, and when the warehouseman omits tearing or cutting the cancelled leaf, the wrong one occasionally is bound in the book. To save press work and paper, cancel leaves are always imposed with the fragments, if possible. Before the book is gathered, the warehouseman should either tear the cancelled leaf or run his knife up it, so as to prevent it being overlooked by the bookbinder; running the knife up it is the most expeditious method, and, to prevent mistakes, he ought to do this himself, and not to entrust it to boys, as cutting a wrong leaf would cause another leaf to be reprinted, and he might be held responsible for the expense, and also incur censure on account of delay. CANON. The name of a type, a size larger than Trafalgar, and the largest with a specific name. The bodj”^ is four Picas, the next size being four line Pica, and so upwards, reckoning by lines of Pica. See Types. CARD. f)4 CAP. The top part of a wooden press; it has two mortises at each end to receive the tenons at the upper end of each clieek, by which it keeps the cheeks at a proper distance at the top ; and the head is sus¬ pended from it Ijy two iron bolts, w ith screws and nuts at the upper end, by which the pull also is regulated. CAPITALS. The following directions respecting the use of capital letters, are extracted from Lindley Murray’s English Grammar. ‘ It was formerly the custom to begin every noun with a capital: but as this practice was troublesome, and gave the writing or printing a crowded and confused appearance, it has been discontinued. It is, how¬ ever, very proper to begin with a capital, ‘ 1. The first word of every book, chapter, letter, note, or any other piece of writing. ‘ 2. The first word after a period; and, if the tw’o sentences are totally indfpenrletit, after a note of interrogation or exclamation. ‘ But if a number of interrogative or exclamatory sentences are thrown into one general group, or if the construction of the latter sentences depends on the former, all of them, except the first, may begin with a small letter: as, “I low long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning ? and fools hate knowledge ? ” “ Alas I how' iliffereiit I yet how like the same ! ” ‘3. The appellations of the Deity: as, “God, .lehovah, the Almighty, the Supreme lieiiig, the Lord, Providence, the .Messiah, the Holy Spirit.” ‘ 4. Proper names of persons, places, streets, mountains, rivers, ships : as, “ George, York, the Strand, the Alps, the Thames, the Seahorse.” ‘ 5. .Adjectives derived from the jirojjer names of places : as, “Grecian, Roman, English, French, and Italian." ‘ 6. The first word of a quotation, introduced after a colon, or when it is in a direct form: as, “.Always remember this ancient maxim: ‘ Know thyself.’ ” “ Our great Lawgiver says, ‘ Take up thy cross daily, and follow mo.’ ” But when a r|uotation is brought iu obliquely after a comma, a capittd is unnecessary : as, “ Solomon observes, ‘ that ])ride goes before destruttion.’” ‘ The first word of an example may' also very properly' begin with a capital : as, “ Temptation proves our virtue.” ‘ 7. Every' substantive and principal word in the titles of books: as, “Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language; ” “Thomson’s Sea¬ sons ; ” “ Rollin’s .Ancient History.” ‘ 8. The first word of every' line in poetry. ‘ 9. The pronoun 7 , and the interjection O, are written in capitals: as, “ I write : ” “ Hear, O earth ! ” ‘ Other words, besides the preceding, may begin with capitals, when they are remarkably' emphatical, or the principal subject.of the comjio- sition.’ C.APPING B.ALLS. Wrapping up pelt balls in blankets soaked in urine at night, and when they are not in use, to keep them soft. They' are generally left on the floor of the sink. C.APPING A AIAN. Wrapping one of the blankets with which the pelt balls are capped about a man’s head, and tying it round his neck. This most filthy and disgusting punishment is x'ery' rarely inflicted in a press room ; y'et I have read an account of a trial at the Old Bailey for an assault, iu which this act was the ground of offence. CARD. When several bodies of letter are set in a page, compo¬ sitors to justify that page to an exact length, put a card to some white line, or other break, and lengthen out the page the thickness of a card. CASE. 95 Pressmen also use a card for an underlay. — ilf. Cards are rarely used now for these purposes ; in making up pages, leads and scaleboards are used, and, where great nicety is required, a careful compositor will cut slips of smooth even paper, and use them where a lead or a scaleboard would be too much. At press, underlays are not used for types; and where an engraving on wood is much too low, the pressman will under¬ lay it with thick wrapper paper. In fact, cards are an article that neither composing rooms nor press rooms are supplied with. CARDS. About a quire of paper, which pressmen use to pull down the spring or rising of a form, which it is many times subject to by hard locking up. — M. The term is also applied to pieces of scaleboard, old felted hat, or pasteboard, for they are all called cards, cut to the size of the mortises in the cheeks of a wooden press, and laid in them, under the tenons of the winter, and above those of the head, to cause a spring in both these parts, for the purpose of softening the pull. I would never place any cards under the winter, for the reasons assigned under that article. See Winter. CARD WOOL. The act of carding wool to stuff the balls with, to take out the knots, dirt, &c., for the purpose of making the balls softer, more elastic, and to have a more even surface than would be the case if the wool were not carded. This operation is repeated every time a pair of balls is knocked up. Formerly it was teazed, and not carded. CARET. A caret, marked thus a, is placed where some word happens to be left out in writing, and which is inserted over the line. This mark is also called a circumflex, when placed over some vowel of a word, to denote a long syllable : as, “ Euphrates.” — Murray. CARRIAGE, is that part of the press that runs in under the platen, including the plank, coffin, &c. I am aware that many printers call the long wooden ribs and frame the carriage ; but I am also satisfied that they misname that part of the press : for who ever heard of running in the long ribs ? "yet to run in the carriage is a common expression ; and the name implies that the article moves or travels. This word bore the signification which I assign to it in the seventeenth century, for Moxon uses it in this sense. See Run in the Carriage. CASE, in which the letters are laid to compose with. — M. Cases are always spoken of as pairs; viz. upper case and lower case ; when placed upon a frame to compose out of, the front of the upper case rests against the back of the lower case, lying in different inclinations, the back of the upper case being raised to bring the top boxes nearer the hand. They are generally made of beech; the outer rim and the middle bar stout, to give strength, and to nail the bottoms to, which are lined with paper, to prevent letters falling through cracks, or joints that might open; this lining used to be cartridge paper, which strengthened the bottom, but the joiner now lines them with cheap and thin demy paper; the bottom is made of thin fir deal. The dimensions are — two feet eight inches and a half, sometimes two feet nine inches long; one foot two inches and a half wide, and one inch and a quarter deep ; the front being about half an inch broader than the depth, which forms a ledge for galleys to rest against, and also serves as a guard to stop letters, &c. falling over. It is interesting to trace the changes that take place in any art; hence I have given the arrangement of the letters in cases at different periods, commencing with the first English writer, Moxon, who published his 96 CASE. work in the year 1683; then Smith, who published in 1755; the cases before the long f was discarded, in my own time; the arrangement now generally used ; and a variation, subdividing the boxes in the upper case, and changing the arrangement, both in that and the lower case, to afl'ord room for a greater number of sorts, and to make the access to them more convenient; I have also added the late Earl Stanhope’s plan. In Moxon’s cases it will be perceived there are no 9 , lb, Ik, Q£, J, ||, [j () !) oor any small capitals. Smith, in his Printer’s Grammar, gives “ Schemes for Three Pair of Cases, shewing the Ditference in the Disposition of their Sorts.” I have given his No. I. and No. III.; No. il. is the same as the one before the long f was discarded, with the exception of the (j being in the comma box, and the cc^mma in the q box. This arrangement of the letters before the long f was discarded, con¬ tinued down to our own time, except the transposition of the q and the comma ; and the “schemes ” Smitli gives as No. I. and No. III. became obsolete. When the long f was discarded, and we confined ourselves to one shape of the same letter, the ligature cl was also disused ; we thus lost the dl, fl), fh, fi, Ik, fl, (T, lb, ill, ami 11 , w hich gave ten additional boxes for other sorts; these have afforded convenience for metal rules and braces, which Ijefore were wanted, and also for the 4. and V that an; now frequently sent with a fount, particularly the £. The discarding of the long f originated w ith the late John Bell, who })rinted and published an edition of Sliakspeare, the British Theatre, and the Poets : the cliange was not generally adopted for some years, and many retained one 1 when two came together, as ‘Efsay;’ but the s prevailed, ami no other is now used. In the present arrangement, the figures are Irrought lower down to be nearer the hatul, and the vowels with the diaeresis moveil higher up; for the same reasoti the acute accented vowels have changed places with those of the grave accent. Mr. Johnson, in his Typographia, has given a variation in the arrange¬ ment that he has adojrted. I do not see any improvement in the lower case to induce master printers to change the general mode, which would only tend to create confusion and put the boxes into pie. A subdivision of the boxes in the upper case, would be useful in two or three pairs in large founts, that had superiors and fractions cast to them; but as few founts have them, these subdivisions would not only be useless, but inconvenient, if applied to all the cases, as they would not leave sufficient room for metal rules, braces, Ac., neither do they afford convenience for all the fractions that are cast in a piece; besides, vbwels with the long and short accents are so rarely used in the general routine of business, that it is not necessary to cramp the boxes to make provision for them; and there is always room in the back boxes of the Italic cases in which to put sorts that are seldom wanted ; to this we may add the additional expense of making these cases, which in an extensive business would be considerable. Among the various arrangements of the types in cases at different periods and bj* different persons, I am gratified at being enabled to give that of the late Earl Stanhope, from a stereotype plate of his Lordship’s casting; this plan of the cases, the logotypes, the alteration of the letter f, and the shape of the boxes, were never adopted in the trade.

Cast Leads. See Space Lines. CAST OFF COPY. Counting or Casting off Copy (for both phrases are indifferently used) is to examine and find how much either of printed copy will come in into any intended number of sheets of a different body or measure from the copy ; or how much written copy will make an intended number of sheets of any assigned bodj' and measure_ 31. It is also used to ascertain how many sheets of a given sized page and letter any quantity of prepared copy will make. This is generally done by composing a line or two of the copy, if it be manuscript, selected from the part that appears about the average mode of writing, and ascertaining how many lines of the printed or manuscript copy will make even lines in the proposed size; thus, if 10 lines of copy make 7 lines, or 7 lines of copy make 10 lines, the quantity is easily calculated. Allowance must of course be made for chapter heads, short pages, and any whites tliat may occur. C.VTCTI OF TMF B.VR is a piece of wood two inches thick, four inches broad, and ten inches long, with a groove in the lower part of it by which it is screwed to tlie front of the off check, and may be heightened or lowered at pleasure ; the top of it is a little bevilled or sloped off, tliat the bar may by its spring Hy up tlie bevil till it stick. — 31. This catch is in my opinion superior to tlie one now used, which is a piece of wood nailed to the far side of the off cheek, with an opening in it, through which a sloping piece projects beyond the front of the check, for the bar to slide up. The old one appears much easier to justify, by means of the screw, without having any nails to draw. In very fine press work, where uniformity of pressure is to be preserved, I would always cheek the bar, or bring it home, every pull, and rest a short time upon it. In large forms, however, this is too much exertion for a man to continue; and to obviate this objection I had a catch made for some wooden presses, which, dropping over the bar, belli it close to the cheek, and enabled the pressman to rest upon his pull sutliciently long without the continued strain to his arm. it was screwed to the near cheek, and disengaged from the press bar, by pulling a piece of string attached to its other toid through the small hole. CATCH LINE. The same as Direction Line. See Catch Word. C.\TCH WORD. The first word of the following page set at the right hand end of the line of quadrats at the foot of each page; in which line is also placed the signature in those pages where it is requisite. It is likewise called the Direction Word. Catch words are now seldom used, except in reprints, to preserve uniformity in the different editions of the same work. CERTIFICATE. 163 Catechisms. For the allowance of the duty on paper used in the printing of the Larger or Shorter Catechism of the Church of Scotland, see Paper. CATER CORNER. Paper, the sides of which are not at right angles with each other, is termed cater cornered.

Dabiin, 1836. 8ro. CIIAI’EL. Every printing office is called a chapel. The term is supposed to have liail its origin froin the first introduction of printing into England by Caxton, who executed his works in a chapel adjoining Westminster Abbey. Moxon however gives a different account, for which sec Ancient Customs. A chapel, in the technical sense of the word, is when the workmen agree to certain rules for the good order of the printing office. All the compositors in a composing room, and all the pressmen in a press room, who are journeymen, form the chapel in each department, (for they seldom unite,) in which one of the number is elected, during pleasure, as president, or The Father, as he is styled. In their assembled body they enjoin regulations, and enforce their due observance; they also take cognizance of any disputes, and any grievance that may be complained of, that arise within the chapel, when called upon for that purpose ; and there is no appeal from their decision. The chapel is in general sanctioned by the master printer, on account of some of the rules tending to the preservation of his property;—such as the infliction of a fine on any one connected with the house leaving the premises without putting out his candle or leaving it in charge, or for throwing types, quadrats, or furniture, at another; and for the regular despatch of business, so far as regards the forwarding of work in general — but in addition the workmen make particular regulations for themselves, with regard to their own mode of working in companion¬ ship, &c. The chapel will also, if appealed to, enforce these bye laws, If I may so term them. CHAPEL. 165 The fine for leaving a candle burning, is, I believe, never remitted ; it is generally sixpence for a workman, double for the overseer, and half a crown for the master of the house. The person who first sees the candle extinguishes it and delivers the candlestick to the Father, who keeps it till the^fine is either paid, or pro¬ mised to be paid; for Monday is the regular pay day in a printing office. There are frequently a number of devices resorted to to induce a workman to go out after the candles are lighted, for the sake of the fine — the open air being the boundary—such as saying, a person is below who wants to speak to Mr.-; this is usually avoided by the party giving his candle in charge; that is, saying to some one, Mr. -, take charge of my candle. This person then becomes responsible for the charge as well as for his own candle, and has to pay for both should he leave the house without putting them out, or giving them in charge to some other person. I have previously said that the office of Father is during pleasure, although I am aware that Mr. Hansard, in his Typographia, has stated it to be otherwise; but I have known instances of the Father being deposed, after having held the office for many years, and a successor appointed and deposed within a fortnight, merely for the sake of the initiatory fine, which is usually a gallon of porter. These instances have occurred when a flush of business caused an additional number of men to be employed in a printing office; some of whom being of a thoughtless dis¬ position, and thinking they could outvote the sedate and the sober part of the workmen, call a chapel for the most trivial purposes, which thus becomes a hinderance to business, as it takes the whole of the men from their work. But this evil produces its own remedy, when it is carried to too great an extent. Workmen get tired of being called from their employment, and losing time continually, on trifling objects in which they feel no in¬ terest: and they check the evil by fining those who call the chapel, when it is evident that liquor is the motive for calling it. I remember an instance when calling chapels had become a grievance from their frequency, in which the party was so completely checked, that he never ventured to call another. It occurred during a flush of work, when there were temporary hands employed, some of whom were partial to liquor, and eager to fine any one in order to obtain it. After deposing the Father two or three times, and calling chapels many times unnecessarily, a person left his candle burning one evening, and another passing his frame observed. Herds a candle left; whose is it? The reply was, Mr.-—’s.— Jf I had known that, I would have put it out. This was sufficient to bring the individual before the chapel, as it was held to be an attempt to defraud it of its due,j'of which the chapel is very jealous. Well, a chapel was called to take cognizance of the charge, without a doubt that they should levy a good fine for what they looked on as a great offence : but the established workmen of the house, and some of the additional men, had got tired of these repeated calls from their employment; and it being proved in the defence, that a party in the house had been for some time expressing a desire to fine this individual, who was of a warm temper, and had brought a charge against him for a thoughtless expression that was not acted on, the chapel decided that it was a conspiracy against him, acquitted him, and laid a heavy fine upon the accuser. No person but the Father can call a chapel, which is generally held at the imposing stone: and when any one wishes to appeal to it, he 166 CHAPEL. notifies the same to the Father, stating the objects generally, and ac¬ companying the notification with a penny. The Father will sometimes decline to call the chapel, where the object appears trivial; but if the notification be accompanied with the value of a gallon of porter, it is imperative on him to call it, under the penalty of being deposed. The chapel never assembles without the fee of a gallon of porter, in addition to the fine it may impose ; and this fee is always paid, even when it assembles to settle any disputed matter between workmen, when no fine is levied. If any workman refuses to attend when a chapel is summoned, after being called on by the Father for that purpose, the first business is to proceed to judgment on him for contumacy, which is always punished by a fine;—the chapel then proceeds to the business for which it was called, aiul when the members cannot agree in their decision, or when the matter becomes personal, they decide by chalking. For this pur- j)Ose, a large galley is jdaced on a frame, in that part of the room which is most private and cannot be overlooked, and a line drawn down the midille of it, and at the top over each column is written fur and ayainst^ or yes and no; one of the members then makes a mark, usually on the lenient side, which saves him from ill will, as it must be known on which side he gives his decision ; the second generally marks the contrary side, so that the following persons cannot discover how any have voted. The Father, when ail have chalked, examines the number on each side, and declares the judgment of the chapel. It is an invariable ride that the chapel ean do no wrong ; and it is a crime to find fault with its decisions, which it would ccrtaiidy punish with a tine if called on for that purpose, and the case was proved. All wagers of half a gallon of porter, or more, go to the chapel, so that they are never evaded, as the liiiuor is sent for by the ehajiel, which adjudges who shall [lay for it: the conseiiuence is, that when the object isjto obtain drink, and perhaps a young man from the country to act on, who is ignorant of the London customs, the cases arc often of the most jireposterous kind; for instance, an cx])erienced hand has been knoM ii to assert in such a case that a mallet was a idaner, and to call it by that name, and then ofi'er a wager, in support of his assertion, to the young man, who has accepted it. The chapel decided that it was a planer, and the stranger had to pay for summoning the chapel, and also the amount of the wager, by way of initiation. The chapel also decides all disputes that may arise in the house, as well private, if it be ajipealed to, as those which may arise when two or more arc employed on the same piece of work, and fretjuently fixes the price which sh.all be paid for it; for in doubtful cases a workman will pTvipr taking the colleetive opinion of his fellows, to acting on his own judgment, as it may affect them all. In this case the person who is on the work must not take less than the chapel fixes, without permission ; and if the employer will not pay it, he, of course, must quit his situation. If, after the chapel has fixed a price for a piefce of work, a man should venture to do it for a reduced price, he becomes a “ Rat.” In a press room there is sometimes.a fine for men throwing water at each other, which dirties and spoils the paper ; — and in hot summer weather, when a man has been desirous of a draught of porter, an instance has been known of his falling down in a pretended fit, and when another in kindness has procured some cold water and sprinkled his face with it, the other has jumped up and accused him of throwing water at him, on which he has had to pay the fine. CHAPEL. 107 If any member of the chapel should be hardy enough to oppose its deci¬ sions, there are a number of ways practised to bring him, and even the most obstinate, to submission. Every chapel is haunted by an imaginary spirit, named Ralph ; and when any person refuses to obey its mandates, this spirit begins to loalk, as it is termed. The fir.st act is, in general, to hide the offender’s composing stick; if this does not answer, his galleys are secreted; then the page cords, which secure his work, are cut, and his labour rendered more than useless, Lecause he has to distribute his pie as well as to recompose his matter; if he still remains contumacious, the whole of the types in his cases are transposed, so that he cannot proceed in his business ; and if he should still set the chapel at defiance, he is smoked, all the members of the chapel surrounding his frame, each with a lighted match of brimstone, and singing a doleful ditty ; after this he is sent to Coventry, and every man becomes amenable to the chapel, if he assists him, gives him any information, or speaks to him; so that he must either submit to the penalties inflicted, or leave the house. When he submits, his apparatus is restored, and the types properly ar¬ ranged again in his cases. Apprentices never belong to the chapel; neither is the master of the house, nor the overseer, ever allowed to be present when one is held. Many master printers are decidedly against chapels, as tending to encourage drinking, and the neglect of business ; where this has been the case within my knowledge, the grievance has remedied itself, for the sober and industrious prevent the evil going to an extreme; and where there are a number of men employed, the majority will be found opposed to being called from their work repeatedly to decide on fractious or quibbling questions, in which they feel no interest; and by fining a busy meddling person, they put a stop to the frequent calling of chapels, which, as I have said before, are, generally speaking, promoted by tem¬ porary workmen, who seldom stop long in a house, and on whose de¬ parture the business is carried on in the regular manner, while, if one or two continue to work in the house, they soon fall into the old customs of the permanent men ; for among the established workmen of a house chapels are seldom called. It has also been objected to them that they tend to excite an oppo¬ sition to the employer on the question of wages. This may have hap¬ pened ; but wherever I have seen a question respecting prices brought before a chapel, I have always seen it discussed in a fair manner, and the value estimated impartially, — the scale being kept in view for any thing nearly similar ; — for among a number of workmen there will always be found men of principle^ who would not sanction an unreason¬ able demand for the temporary advantage of a few shillings a week ; and these men have always great influence in the decision. Upon the whole, when 1 take into account the decreased risk from fire, owing to the fine for candles — the prevention of waste of mate¬ rials, by throwing them about — the appeal for wrongs done in com¬ panionships, or for neglect, or throwing impediments in the way of business, and remedying them — I am of opinion that the advantages attending chapels outweigh their disadvantages, and that the business is carried on with more regularity and promptitude with them than with¬ out them, particularly when it is taken into account that the rules and regulations laid down by the employer for the governing of his house, are adopted by the workmen arid become chapel laws. As many of the customs of chapels are passing away, I have been rather more diffuse in this article than the mere definition of the term 108 CHASE. might seem to require; but as I am not aware that any preceding writer has explained a chapel, I have been led to do so, that the knowledge of old customs might not be entirely lost. See Rules. CHAPEL LAWS. The regulations adopted by the men in chapel assembled, for preserving good order in the office, are called chapel laws. This term is not in general use: we are more in the custom of saying a full sheet, a full page, a full line. Charitable DoxATioys. See Donations. CHASE. An iron frame to fasten types in to print with.—J/. A great revolution has taken place with respect to chases. They were formerly made thin and narrow, but are now made thicker, whicli gives more safety to a form in quoining; and they are made much broader, both in the rim and the crosses, which adds to their strength and durability. It is customary to dovetail the crosses into the rim of wrought iron chases, and to have mortises for duodecimos and eighteens, so as to move the crosses according to the size of the work for which the chase is wanted. This plan is convenient in many instances, but it is in many others inconvenient and wasteful. It is necessary to have chases in an office with the crosses loose, to a limited extent, as they coulil not well be disjiensed with on many occa¬ sions ; but I wouUl have as few ils jiossiljle; for the mortises in the rim cut the quoins to pieces, and the loose crosses are frccjuently used for pokers, ami for tightening (pioins in forms when they get slack, lly these means they are bent and destroyed, and the chases to which they belong are rendered nearly useless. The loose crosses have also another disadvantage : tliey frequently get mislaid or lost when Taken out for folios, or broadsides, and when the chase is wanted for any other size, the cross cannot be found, and the compositor, or person who has the care of the furniture, is obliged to take such a cross as he can meet with, and which he can ilrive into the mortises with a mallet; this cross is sometimes of a ditferent thickness from the right one, and affects the register of the pages in working, particularly if the furniture and the chase be transposed, as too freiiuently occurs through carelessness. There is less waste and destruction when the crosses are rivetted into the rim ; for the chases arc then always ready for use—the cros.ses can never be mislaid nor destroyed—and the whole implement is much more durable than when the parts are separate. Cast iron chases are now coming greatly into use, and answer the purpose very well. The crosses are fast, the whole chase being cast in one piece, so that there must be chases for each size, viz. folios, quartos, and duodecimos ; the crosses fixed for these sizes will answer every other, except broadsides. They are cast from a card chase to the largest size ; and stand locking up and the usual wear, without breaking. These chases are much cheaper than those made of wrought iron. There are some chases now made with the inside of the rim bevelled off from the cross to the angle, to answer the purpose of sidesticks and footsticks ; a piece of broad, or narrow, being used at the sides and feet of the pages- This plan appears to be economical with regard to furniture. The usual practice in cutting chases for 18mo. is to place the long cross about one third of the width from one of the sides of the chase, and two thirds from the other, for the purpose of making it fall in one CLEAN PROOF. 169 of the backs; by this mode one of the quarters in the offcut has only two pages in it, so as hardly to admit of quoin room, the other has four; and the remainder of the form is also divided unequally, one side of the long cross having four pages, and the other eight pages. This method of imposing an 18mo. is inconvenient, and the large quarter is in danger of falling out. The plan appears to have been adopted merely to cause the long cross to fall in one of the backs, which is of no consequence whatever. I have always imposed eighteens in chases cut for 12mo. which I prefer; for the quarters being more equal, make the locking up more secure, and the onlj'^ difference in the imposition is, that the long cross falls in a gutter, instead of a back. Mr. T. C. Hansard took out a patent for “ Improvements on, and Additions to. Printing Presses, and various Processes relative to Print¬ ing.” Among the different articles are chases, which Mr. Hansard thus describes:—“ The Demi- (or half) -Chases are made so as to contain the pages imposed within a less measure of square than usual. One side of the rim is made particularly straight, and rather less in breadth than the other three sides: this narrow side forms the part to lie in the middle of the Table of the Press: by turning a pair of chases so made on con¬ trary faces, the two narrow sides will join and form as one chase. The pages are not in these chases, as in others for all sizes above Folios, locked-up by having side sticks and quoins on all four sides, but only on one side, and at each end. The inner Forme being locked up on the right side only, and at each end, and the outer Forme on the left side only, and at each end ; and the margin being made Avhen the two demi- chases are laid together on the Imposing Stone, as if the same were one large chase of double dimensions, the pages will require no more margin in the centre of the double sheet, than a fair equal proportion for the division of margin. The chases must be made in proportion to the size of the work intended to be executed.” CHEEKS. The upright sides of a printing press.— M. CHEEK THE BAR. Pulling the bar of the press till it touches the near cheek. In good work I would always have the pull so justified that when the bar was pulled home, or cheeked, it should occasion the proper degree of pressure of the platen upon the form; this aVouM in some degree assist in procuring equal impressions through all the copies printed ; but in heavy or large forms it would be too great an exertion for the pressman to continue doing without some assistance, as such work requires to rest on the pull. I adopted a catch for the bar when cheeked, in some presses, which completely answered the purpose, and enabled the pressman to rest on his pull as long as was necessary, without overstraining his arms.

It Is also called a clean proof when it is printed after being corrected, to be sent out, or to be read for press — that is, the pressmen take more care in printing it, and keep the margins clean. CLEAN SHEETS. Authors and publishers have generally one copy of each sheet of a work sent to them as it is printed, for the purpose of reference, and to see the progress of the work; these copies are called clean sheets. See Tops. CLEARING AWAY. When a work is completed, clearing away is the distributing of headlines, chapters, lines of small capitals, and other useful sorts, taking the lines of quadrats away, and tying up the remainder of the matter in moderate sized pieces with old page cord, so as to be ready to be papered up; and tying the furniture, reglets, and leads up, and delivering them to the proper person, wlio takes charge of them. I’he compositor, after laying up the form to be cleared away and washing it w ell —and matter ouglit never to be cleared aw ay w ithout un¬ dergoing this process — takes a page into a galley—an old one generally — and picks out tlie leads, if it be leaded matter; he will then push the matter up from the foot and put another page on his galley, and take the leads out of it also; he w ill then take the headlines away, and put them on another galley ; then take the lines of quadrats and reglets out, and put them on a paper under his frame, then the chapters, contents of chaj»ters, any lines w ith words of (ircek, or other useful sorts, and, alter j)ushing the matter close up together, he will tie it firndy up, in pieces rather longer than a full sized octavo page, and if a shoit line happens to fall at the bottom, put it in some other situation, so tliat the to]) and the bottotn shall be full lines. 1 le will thus proceed, till his sheet or other (juantity be all tied up, taking care to make his j)ieces of equal lengths, for the convenience of piling them \q) in the letter closet. If the work should be in very small pages, so that two in width would not bo wilier than a large octavo jiage, he will put two togetlier, side by side, to prevent papering the matter up in long narrow' slips. Having tied all the matter up for papering, he will either place it on a board in a rack, or i)ul it in some other jilace w here cleared away matter is usually dej)osited till papered up ; he will then distribute his head¬ lines, chapters, contents, and other useful sorts into their proper places ; and if tiiere be not room in the cases for the quadrats, he w ill put them into the proper drawers in w hich the surplus quadrats are kept. If the work be in folio or quarto, he will tie it up in proportionally sized pieces. He will then tie up his leads; and if there be any of different thick¬ nesses, he w ill, of course, assort them, and tie them u]) separately: he takes a moderate quantity, if they be octavo leads, rather more than the length of a page of matter, and places a piece of reglet at each end of it, to guard the outside leads from injury by the tightening of the cord, and making a slip knot at one end of a piece of old page cord, he places the leads in the noose, and draws it as tight as the cord will bear, then turns the leads over upon the spare cord and draws it tight; he thus proceeds turning the leads over upon the .«ipare cord, and drawing it tight, till he has got turns sufficient round the leads to secure them, and tucks in the end of the cord under the turns two or three times, drawing it tight; he knocks up the ends of the leads upon the imposing stone, gently, not to injure them, and when he has thus tied them all up, he puts them along with his matter. He ties his reglets up in the same manner, and puts them with the leads. He puts the quoins into the quoin drawer. CLYMER’S PRESS. 171 He inquires of the proper person whether the furniture is to be tied up, or put into the drawers; if the latter, he assorts it side and foot sticks, gutters, broads, narrows, reglets, and scaleboards, and puts each into its separate drawer; if it be to be tied up, he puts the scaleboard into its proper drawer, and arranges the others neatly and ties them firmly together with old page cord, and delivers them and the chases to the proper person, who may be either the overseer, or some person appointed to take care of tlie materials. CLEARING PIE. To separate from each other in the confused mass, and assort the ditFerent kinds and sizes of types, and to distri¬ bute them into their respective cases; if there be a large quantity of any particular fount, or founts, it is usual to compose them into pages, and, if the letter be not wanted, to paper it up; when that fount is brought into use, a proportionate quantity of pie is given to each com¬ positor to distribute. This is generally the work of the apprentices during any slackness of business. A quantity of pie is placed on the imposing stone, or, if that cannot be spared for the purpose, on a letter board upon a bulk, and each fount is separated from the other; they are then composed into lines, and either distributed or papered up : although it may appear a roundabout way to compose it, it in reality saves time, as the composed matter is distributed with greater facility. In large establishments the reading boys assort pie at their leisure time. CLEARING STONE. It is a general rule that every person shall, under a penalty, after imposing or correcting, leave a clear stone ; that is, the mallet, shooting-stick, furniture, quoins, saw, sawblock, and shears, are to be put in their proper places; any good letters that may be scattered about, distributed; and the bad letters put into the shoe, so that there shall be no impediment to the next person using it. Any of the articles used, or two letters, left on it will render him liable to the fine. CLICKER. The compositor who, in a companionship, receives the copy from the overseer or other person, gives it out to compose, receives the matter back when composed, keeps an account of what each person does, sets the head and direction lines, and the notes if any, makes up the pages, lays them down on the imposing stone, and makes out the account, apportioning to each his proper share ; his own share of the bill being always equal with the highest: this refers to working on lines. In other companionships he receives the copy from the overseer, distributes it to his companions, and receives instructions how the work is to be done. CLOSE MATTER. Matter with few breaks or whites. — M. The term is now understood of works that are not leaded. See Bad Work. CLOSE SPACING. This term is used when only a middling space is put between words, and sometimes a thin space ; for some authors will not allow words to have much space between them, but only just enough to separate them from each other, in which case a thick space is never exceeded. Close Work. See Close Matter. CLYMER’S PRESS. Mr. George Clymer, of Philadelphia, first began to turn his attention to the improvement of the printing press in the year 1797. Having completed his object, he came to England in 1817, and introduced his improved press under the name of the Columbian Press : he established a manufactory in London, and the first press he constructed here was completed in 1818, and I believe went to Russia. It is an iron press ; there is no screw; the head is a large and powerful lever, which is 172 CLYMER’S PRESS. the bar is attached, and produces thenres" ure the platen is attached to the head by a square bar of iron and the de- n IS preserved steadily and regularly by two projecting guides one from each cheek, ,he platen is raised f,o,„ the fora, by a levl'r with TtetS at one end, attached to and above the head, which acts when the pull is eased and the bar Hies back. The power of this press is verj' grea^ and I have not heard of any fading or breaking, which is an important fact in Its tavour. It ranks in the opinion of practical men, generally, as the next in estimation to the Stanhope press. The only objection I have COLLATE. 173 leard to this press, was the length that the pressmen had to reach, and the iisadvantage in the pull, by the bar being attached to the off cheek; but Mr. Clymer remedied this by attaching it to the near cheek, which not only facilitates the pull, but also enables the pressman to exert his strength more advantageously and with more ease. Mr. Clymer died in 1834, but the manufactory is still continued in Finsbury Street under the firm of Clymer and Dixon. I believe the representative of Mr. Clymer is Mr. A. R. Shaw, who married one of his daughters. COCK-UP LETTER. It is not unusual to begin a work, and the divisions of it, as Parts, or Books, with the first word set in capitals, and the first letter a larger capital, justified to range at the foot with the others, and bearing about the same proportion to them that capitals bear to their own small capitals; whatever proportion there may be between the first letter and the other part of the word, if it be justified to range at the foot, it is styled a Cock-up Letter. COFFIN. That part of a wooden press, in which the stone is bedded. Type Founders usually send small quantities of sorts in brown paper made into a cone, and twisted at the small end, similar in shape to what grocers use for small articles; where there are no fount cases, or where they are full, compositors do the same with superfluous sorts; these conical papers are called Coffins. The frame and bottom of a slice galley, into which the slice slides, is also called the coffin. See Galley. COGGER’S PRESS. The cheeks of this press are of wrought iron, the head is of cast iron, very strong, and secured in its place by scrbws and nuts, and appears sufficient to bear the greatest power that can be applied in the ordinary process of printing, without injury. The pressure is obtained by a spindle with a screw working in the head, and at the bottom of it is a collar in which are fixed two studs of case-hardened iron with convex faces, which act upon two inclined planes of unequal degree of inclination; so that, when the platen first begins to descend, the descent is quick, but as the platen reaches the point of pressure, the velocity is diminished and the power proportionably increased, till arriving at a part of the plane nearly horizontal, and the levers taking the most advantageous positions, the highest degree of pressure is obtained. The inclined planes are of hard steel, dovetailed in the bottom of a cir¬ cular brass box resting on the centre of the top of the platen ; it contains oil, so that the studs dip into it every pull. The power is obtained by the bar being attached to a multiplied cross arm lever. Should the inclined planes break, or be injured, they can easily be taken out and replaced with new ones. COLLATE. To examine the signatures in each gathering, to see that they are right and perfect. Moxon styles it Collation Books, The person who has to collate, (generally the Warehouseman, as he is answerable for the correctness of the delivery of books,) takes a heap of a gathering and places the first or signature page uppermost, to¬ wards his right hand, and with the point of a sharp bodkin, or a pen¬ knife, picks up the corner of each sheet, in order to see that each signa¬ ture is right, passing his thumb under them as they rise, to keep what he examines separate from the heap, and thus proceeds till he has examined one gathering ; he then slips this gathering a little back on the heap, and proceeds with another, till he has gone through eight or ten, which he turns over to his left hand upon the table, where they are ready to fold; and he thus proceeds till he has collated a sufficient number for his delivery, or the whole number of the work, as the case may require. 174 COME DOM'N THE FORM. In the course of his progress he will find some sheets laid the wrong way, these he puts right; in some cases the boys will have taken two sheets of the same signature up, he takes one of these out; in other cases, there may be duplicate signatures, and the right one in order want¬ ing ; he calls out to the gathering boys to give him the right sheet, and draws out the duplicate as before, and sometimes a signature is want¬ ing, which he also calls for. In these cases the wrong sheets that are taken out of the gathering are called Drawn Sheets, and are laid down on their respective heaps, to be re-gathered. Although not customary, I have known a warehouseman use neither a bodkin nor a penknife, but slip up the corner of the sheet with the end of his forefinger, in order to examine the signatures: any one w ho adopts this practice should be particularly careful to have clean fingers, or he will soil the coi ners of many sheets, and disfigure his work. Colon. See Punctuation. COLOURS. In Ilayter’s “ Introduction to Perspective Drawing and I^ainting,” is a diagram of the three primitive colours, with their com¬ binations, which show the best contrasts. He says, this is highly useful for a painter to understand : ami I think it is highly useful for a printer also to understand ; for it will enable him to make the bc'st disposition of colours in printing so as always to jiroduce a sujierior effect to what could be done without the guidance of a correct principle. I shall give the passage. “ You may try another experi¬ ment in moof of the primitive supe¬ riority of red, yellow, and blue, over all other colours. First draw a circle ; then, with the same open¬ ing of the compasses, set one foot on the circumferent line, and draw a second circle; and again, with one loot of the compasses on the ])oint w here the two circles bisect, draw a third ; cover one w hole circle witli yellow, another with red, and another with blue (letting each dry before you lay the next); the colours intermixing Ijy the equilateral intersection of the three circles, will produce green, orange, and purple ; and the central portion, taking all the three colours, will be neutral of the black class, and nearly black, according to the strength of the three separate lays of the primitive colours. By this diagram you will have a certain proof of the colours which are most adapted to oppose each other, from which the knowledge of their harmonizing properties may be derived. You will find a primitive colour always opposite to a compound one ; as, blue w ill be opposite orange, red opposite green, and YELLOW opposite pnrple; which must determine them to be the natural opposites: this is highly useful for a painter to understand.” Columbian Press.

Both parties fre¬ quently abbreviate the word, and call each other Comp. COMPANIONSHIP. When more than one compositor is employed upon any work it is styled a companionship. There are different ways of working in companionships: one is, for each to work on his own account, to write his own bill, charging what he has done, and correct his own matter. At other times all the indivi¬ duals work is charged and received in gross in the name of the com¬ panionship, and the division into the respective earning of each is made by the clicker. In this ease, to prevent unfairness, arising from any of the companions taking an undue advantage over the others, the copy should be strictly kept from their inspection, and a stated quantity invariably given out for each when any of them are out of copy, and not before; by this means each of them will have an equal chance for any fat that may occur. I have found in practice this method to be the fairest for all the in¬ dividuals. Another method is working on time or in pocket, where each indivi¬ dual exerts himself to further the work in any way that appears to the clicker the best, either composing or correcting, as the case requires. In this form of companionship the whole of what is done is written in one bill, and equally divided among the companions, provided they have been punctual in their attendance, and have not taken more than the prescribed time for their meals, &c.; otherwise they are subject to fines for infraction of the rules agreed to for their guidance. As it often happens that a work is required to be printed with the greatest possible despatch, the plan of working upon Lines is frequently adopted, which is found in practice to be the most expeditious method of facilitating the work at case. As soon as a work that requires despatch is put in hand, the overseer selects such men as are able to complete a great quantity of work in a given time, and appoints one of them who thoroughly understands his business, and is in other respects qualified, to undertake the management of the work, and to do every thing which would interfere with the re¬ gular business of distributing, composing and correcting. This person is styled the clicker. While the companionship proceeds to the distribution of letter, the clicker applies to the overseer for the copy, receives instructions respect¬ ing it, and procures leads and every other necessary sort. He then draws' out a table in the following form, or something similar. In the first column he sets down the name of each compositor when he takes copy; and in the second the folio of the copy, that he may be able to ascertain instantly in whose hands it lies. In the third column he notes down the number of lines each man has composed opposite to his name, as fast as the galleys are brought to him. In the fourth he 176 COMPANIONSHIP. sets down such remarks respecting the copy, &c. as may be necessary, and also any circumstance that may occur in the companionship. Compositors Names. Folios of j Lines Copy. ^ composed. Memoranda. When the members of the companionship are ready for tlieir first taking of copy, they are to receive it from tlie clicker in small quantities, taking care that the two first have shorter takings tlian any of the others, to prevent as much as possiljle any delay in the making up. During the time the first taking is in hand, the clicker sets the head, tlie head lines, white lines, signature lines, togetlier with side notes, and other extraneous matter. As soon as tlie first person brings him his matter, he counts the number of lines, and inserts it in tlie table; he then gives him another taking of copy, and proceeds with the making up. The same plan is observed with the rest of the companionship. When the first sheet is made up, he lays the pages on the stone, and informs the ovei'seer of it, who will then immediately provide chases and furniture. The work will now proceed rapidly, provided there be no hinderance with respect to letter, &c. If the clicker find that he cannot make up the matter as fast as it is composed, he should call the companion who is last in copy to his assistance. In this case the clicker counts the lines he has composed, sets them down in the table, and takes notice of the time he is off, which is to be made up to him by a deduction from the share of each person. The proofs should be read immediately after they are pulled, and given to the clicker to be corrected. As soon as this is done, he gives the proof to the compositor whose matter stands first, who should imme¬ diately lay up the forms and correct his matter, then forward it to the next, and so on, till the sheet be corrected; the compositor whose matter is last in the sheet then locks it up, and carries the forms to the proof press. As soon as one of the companionship is out of copy, and there is no more to be given out, the lines of the whole must be counted off, and set down in the table, and then every one does as much as he can for the general benefit. If there be not work enough to employ the whole, those who are not wanted may go to their regular work, and the time of their absence, till the rest of the companionship return to theirs, will be deducted from their respective shares. In the outset the value of the lines is calculated, so that each of the companionship shall be paid, in the first instance, for what he composes : COMPOSING. 179 he head and direction lines, the white lines, the branchin^g spectator it jages, and the white pages, are termed fat; these the another; ire included in the general account, and the amount' divided a-»ontinual companionship. By this means each compositor wifi receive a jthe whole, according to the number of lines he composes, and an Ishare of the fat, and the clicker’s share of the bill must be equal to tl'g(j ' of the person who has set the greatest number of lines. 4 ( If leads, or any other materials, run short, a clever and active clicked will not wait for a supply from the overseer, who may be prevente ,4 ' attending to him at the moment, but will immediately forage for the^gg » himself, well knowing that expediting the work is for his own advan^g^^jg as well as for that of the companionship. anner Those companions who do not compose half as many lines as q^g ‘ compositor who has the greatest number, receive only a share of the t . equal to one half of what those do who have worked regularly; ani I those who do not compose more than one quarter, only receive eque ' to one quarter of a regular share. Comparative Size of Types. See Types. „g COMPOSING. The term composing includes the practical knovg ledge of picking up letters, spacing, justifying lines, and emptying ti composing stick when full. , Although expedition is a most desirable qualification in a composit^i yet alone it is far from constituting a good workman : and the man n^g possesses no other claims to the title will be found competent to |)ace more than setting reprints, in which no judgment is required, and Vg^g. he has only to arrange letter for letter, point for point, and line fo^j. ^^4 on which employment he may whistle, sing, talk, or laugh, without^rjgjgjjj. venience to himself; for the process being merely mechanical, an mind not being occupied in the smallest degree, if he make a mistakfc,g j|. word, it will be detected at the end of the line; or, if there be a douggg or an out, of lines, either will be detected when the page is finished. - How different is the case with the man who is anxious to deserve the title of a good workman, and to maintain it: in his youth he has been equally desirous with the other to acquire expedition; and, having attained it, he has felt that other requisites were necessary; — he has read, to obtain information —• he has examined the best workmanship, as spe¬ cimens for his guidance — he endeavours to compose accurately — he is careful and uniform in his spacing — he justifies his lines to an equal tightness—he divides his words, when necessary to divide them, correctly, and with a regard to appearance— and when occasional bits of rule work occur, they are marked by a degree of neatness in being cut to precise lengths, and in the corners fitting with precision — in all the work that passes through his hands there appear the marks of attention and skill. When a master printer undertakes a work which requires more than ordinary care, and is difficult to execute, the superiority of the man who has endeavoured to improve himself is evident: he is selected to perform it; and he then feels the advantage of his perseverance. At work upon a difficult subject, with an ill written manuscript, his first proofs show him equal to the task — his arrangements of the matter are judicious —his punctuation is correct—when particular sorts are to be justified, they are done with accuracy — when an accented letter is required that cannot be procured in a single type, he makes it with neatness — and when his proof returns from the reader, he will frequently correct it in as little time, as a slovenly compositor will require to correct a proof of a similar size, that is a reprint. N 176 COMPOSING. , .‘o the slovenly and the good compositor are very different, j Is''during a flush of work ; when that ceases, he has employment; perliaps does not meet with any for some weeks; obtains a temporary engagement; and thus continues, till old age proaches, and he is rendered incapable of working. The good work- _ian, on the contiary, is prized by his employer, especially if the latter he A workman himself, and a man of judgment. He is looked up to by his Vellow-workineii; his situation is permanent, if he choose ; his abilities ualify him to be a reader, and if his mind lead him that way, he may 'tain such a situation, llis knowledge and his merit tit him to become ovt'rseer of a large house; where he has many advantages, anil he continues with credit to himself : unless, j)erhaps, he chooses commence business on his own account, u hieh is frequently done, hen he invariably obtains the countenance and support of those who .ave witp.e'ssed his skill, his knowledge, his attention, and his industry. There is another class of compositors who neither possess much skill; u" are very expeditious : I mean such as are of a sober, steady habit. _nese are useful men in an ofliee where there is a number of reprints; .ey go on from year to year in a regular routine, and never step out of jj,: the emi)loyer can always depend on them tor a regular amount of /rork, if they have suflicient employment. f » There are too many, both good and bad workmen, who lose their time 1 )*,drinking, gaming,’and other vicious and idle pursuits: such persons I ..doubly for their dissipation, for they squander the fruits of their mhcr"S'*' ‘'i'"* s«Pl>'y> neglecting their enqiloyment. .men will never be employeil in any respectable printing ofliee, i,,,„,b'they are known, except on a temporary engagement in a case of j I • eney. 'I'hcy introduce strife and discord wherever they arc, and obse P"6y lead astray the inexperienced youth: they disregard eipially \ action and advice, and are not awakened to a sense of their con- ...on, till the most severe lessons in this world are unitedly experienced — old age, povertv, and contempt. The mere art of picking up letters, and arranging them in the com¬ posing stick, is looked upon liy many coiiqiositors as constituting the wliol^of their business; who in conseiiuence think that if they can suc¬ ceed in iiicking letters up with facility, they become first-rate workmen ; and the terms '* Swifts,” and “ Tire Eaters,” by which expeditious com¬ positors are designated in a printing office, gratify their vanity. It is not necessary to give specific rules, and a minute description, of the manner of picking iip each letter, because it is impossible for them to hold good, the letters lying in every possible direction. A few general rules may svirtice— to take up the letter at that end where the face is if the nick be not upwards, to turn it upwards in its progress to the composing stick _to convey it to the line in the composing stick with as tew motions as possible — to aim at no flourishes with the hand, which only lose time. I would advise an inexperienced youth, when he comes to work among a number of men, to observe the manner of one of the best and quickest compositors : he will, perhaps, at first conclude that he is looking at a very slow workman, for the first appearance is fallacious; but when he examines more closely he will find his mistake, for what he at first took for slowness is the true principle of expedition ; he will perceive no false motion, which invariably delays progress ; the fingers go to one pa_r- ticular letter, take it up, convey it to the line direct, while the eje i directed to another letter which the fingers convey in the same manner to the line ; thus letter after letter accumulate to words, lines, and pages, 179 I COMPOSIN/"i. with a quickness that looks like magic, while to the spectator it seems to be only the pace of the tortoise. Let him look at another; there appears all bustle, all expedition ; the body and head in continual motion; the hand so quick in its evolutions, that he gazes with astonish¬ ment on the apparent rapidity of arranging the letters: let him look again with more attention, and he will find that the man whom he supposed so slow makes no mistake, loses no time, but continues steadily and uniformly making progress: while the other frequently misses taking hold of his letter; then makes two or three flourishes with his hand and his head before he takes hold of another; and then his hand continues dancing and see-sawing, and after three or four of such motions, made with great rapidity, the letter is finally deposited in the line. This manner of lifting the letters is in reality the pace of the tortoise, although it has the appearance of the speed of the hare. Regularity of spacing, and a due proportion of distance between words, contribute in a material degree to improve the appearance of a book. When the lines are very short, or the type very large in proportion to their length, all general rules, both of dividing and spacing, must give way to necessity; for in such cases it is impossible at all times to space regularly, or to divide the words correctly. There is a great diversity of opinion with respect to spacing ; some authors and printers choosing to have the words wide apart, and others, on the contrary, preferring to have them nearly close together; the one, requiring an en quadrat, or two thick spaces, and the other, a thin space only, between the words. Both of these, in my opinion, go to an extreme: I prefer using a thick space generally, and justifying with thinner and hair spaces; so that there will rarely be a necessity for any violent inequality in the distance of the words from each other. When a work is double leaded, or has reglet between the lines, it requires to be wider spaced than when it is solid : in the two first cases, two middling spaces, or a thick and a thin space, will not be too much ; in the latter, a thick space will be quite sufficient. And it is necessary to attend to these circumstances; for printing that is open does not har¬ monize when close spaced, any more than solid matter does when wide spaced, which makes it look full of pigeon holes; for the distance between the words should bear some proportion to the distance between the lines. When one or two letters require to be got in, or to be driven out, the difference between a thick space and a middling one is not perceptible to the eye, particularly if the compositor is careful to place the latter before or after a v or w, after a comma that comes before a v or w, or after a y ; and, in like manner, an additional hair space will not be perceptible if it come after an f, or before aj ; or if it come between db, dh, dk, dl, lb, Ih, Ik, or 11. The most expeditious mode of regular spacing, perhaps, is to take the spaces as they rise; for there being in the box only three sorts, the thin and the hair spaces being in separate boxes, there will not be any vio¬ lent disproportion if the line should be full at the first; and the slight disproportion may be easily remedied by changing the situation of two or three: if the line should not be quite full, then the introduction of a few thin spaces will equalise the distances; or the substitution of a few thick spaces for middling ones will have the same effect. ,In setting a line of capitals, a careful workman will pay attention to the bearing off of different letters, for many of them when they fall together stand as if there were a space between them, and produce a bad effect: to remedy this inequality, hair spaces, or bits of paper, are required 180 COMPOSIXG. between those letters that stand close. The inequality is still greater in many instances in a line of Italic capitals, and of course requires the same remedy. It would be desirable, and would tend to facilitate regular sjiacing, if there were a greater number of hair spaces cast to a fount than is now the case. In poetry, the size of the type and the measure are usually so arranged as to admit the longest line to come into the measure, without having occasion to turn it: an opportunity is thus allowed for regular spacing, wliich is generally done with thick spaces. When a work in poetry is comrnenceil, it is usual tor the compositor to divide his space box up the middle with a jriece ot reglet, or with a piece of thin wood, made to fit tight, ami to assort Ids thick spaces on one side, and the thinner on the other, to save time and trouble in picking tliem out. As the measure tor poetry is sometimes made as narrow as wilt con¬ veniently allow the regular lines to come in, botli to save <|uadrats, and also to lessen the price ot comjiosing, it not unfrequently happens lliat a line containing long syllables will not admit of thick sjiaces; in this case, the usual practice is to space close, ami get in the line if possible, even with hair spaces, tor turning it is attemlcd with inconveniences; the page must be made up short, or long, to iircserve the couplets, and it atfects the next page, in preventing the stanzas backing each other. A compositor will always find it advantageous to justify his lines to an equal tightness ; and ot this he must be sensible when he has to lock u]) his form : if he have been careless in this instance he will experience a loss ot time and find a difficulty in getting his form to lift; and when it docs lift, by means of sticking his boilkin into cpiadrats and sjjaces to tighten those lines that are stack, it will never be safe; for it is more than jiro- liable that many letters will draw out at press, and cause errors in that sheet, (for pressmen are generally careless how they rejilace a letter that has drawn, and, when it is discovered, they are satisfied if they put it into the right word,) the jiressmcn scold the compositor, who also, if he be. working in a companionship, and should not be the last in the sheet, gets scolded by the compositor who has to lock uj> the forms, for his careless¬ ness, and for the adilitional trouble which it causes. 1 would avoid having a lower case f at the end of a line ; for, being a kerned letter, the dot at the eml of the curve is almost sure to be broken off while the shc(?t is being worked at press. It is not possible to give particular rules for justifying all the sorts that occur in many works, and that arc not in a printing office : — for a C it will be necessary to cut away' the shank to the bottom of the face of the letter, and justify a, figure of 5 with the top back dash cut off; a long lii, n, or any other letter, must be cut away to the upper part of the letter, and a small lower case 1, with the fine lines cut away, fixed flat above ; a short y may be made by taking the bottom of an o ; m and ii by cutting the front of a small a away, and laying it lengthways; w and y by inverting a lower case v, after cutting away the cross lines, and making the thick line equal to the fine one with a sharp knife. Cutting away the shank allows the additional part to stand close to the face of the letter, which improves the appearance. In some instances it will be necessary to cut part of a lead av ay above the letter, and justify the addition in the vacancy. The compositor should, by all means, be careful to justify every sort that is added so tight as to prevent it from drawing out at press ; but not so tight, as to force the words above and below out of line; in fact, they ought to be so managed as, when • COMPOSITOR’S BOOK. ISl justified to the letter, to form unitedly its regular body in depth when it is practicable. The compositor should also be careful to proportion the size of the accent or mark to be justified to the size of the letter, that there may be ( no disproportion between them. I would recommend to every compositor when he goes to a fresh house, where it is likely he may work some time, to ascertain what founts I are in the house, with the two line letters, blacks, flowers, &c.: this I knowledge will give him facilities, and enable him to compose a title, or a f job, with less sacrifice of time, than if he were not acquainted with the * materials contained in the office. COMPOSING RULE. A piece of brass rule cut to the length of the « measure, with a small ear or beak projecting at one end, by which to take it out. This rule is laid in the composing stick, and the letters arranged . upon it; when the line is full, the rule is taken out by the projecting part, ■ and laid upon the line composed, and this process is continued till the stick is full, when the rule is laid upon the last line as before, the whole of the ' matter in the stick is then grasped tight with both hands, (the rule pre- ' venting it from bursting,) taken out of the stick, and deposited in a galley. COMPOSING STICK. The instrument in which the letters are •' arranged into words and lines. It is generally made of iron, sometimes t of gun metal, and long ones for large jobs occasionally of wood. When made of iron it is formed of a piece of sheet iron, one side turned * up nearly half an inch, at a right angle, which forms the back, and when ^ that is turned to the workman at the right hand extremity an end is fitted < to it, by screws, rivets, or dovetailing : this end is iron, considerably thicker than the bottom and back, and is soldered in its place to give it strength and stability. There is a slide by which the length of the lines is regularly justified, which is fixed to the back by a nut and screw passing through a groove in it, and secured in its place by the screw passing through one of the holes in the back, by which means the length of the line can be arranged according to the size of the page. The end of the stick, and also of the slide, must form a right angle with the back, and be parallel to each other, otherwise the lines will be of unequal lengths, and cause much trouble. The English composing sticks generally hold from nine to eleven lines of pica. The French printers use much narrower ones, fre¬ quently not holding more than three lines. fT ( ^ 1 /"QQQQ®QQ o o o o Composition. See Rollers. COMPOSITOR. He that composes or sets the letters.— M.

Balls are said to be in condition, or good condition, when they lug, and the ink is distributed easily and uniformly on their surface; that is, when they are neither too hard nor too soft: when they are either the one or the other, they are said to be in bad condition. See Balls. This also applies to rollers. Paper is said to be in good condition when it has received a proper degree of moisture, been laid a day or two between the boards or in a heap, with weights upon the top board, then turned, which changes the parts in contact, and replaced under the weights for another day, so that the moisture shall be uniforml}’^ dilFused and equal through the whole quantity of paper to be printed.

The power is produced entirely by levers, which, by means of two strong iron links attached to the head, and working at the bottom on what is called the lugs, communicate the power to the platen, and thus produce the impression : on the return of the bar the platen is lifted from the face of the types by means of a spiral spring fixed on the head of the press. I have repeatedly broken the links, when they were guarq.nteed to withstand any force in working the press that could be applied to it. On the death of Mr. Cope, the business was continued by trustees for the benefit of the family, and is under the immediate management of Mr. John Hopkinson, who has very much im¬ proved this press by taking away the links, and remodelling it: the principle, on the present construction, is the same as that of Sherwin and Cope’s Imperial press, with some variation in the application of the cap or knuckle, and also in the adjusting wedges, the screw of which to re¬ gulate the pull is at the near side of the piston. COPTIC. The Copts are undoubtedly descendants of the ancient Egyptians; but notan unmixed race, their ancestors in the earlier ages of Christianity having intermarried with Greeks, Nubians, Abyssinians, and other foreigners. Their name is correctly pronounced either Ckoobt or Ckibt; but more commonly Goobt or Gibt, and (in Cairo and its neighbourhood, and in some other parts of Egypt,) ’ Oobt or ’Ibt; in the singular, it is pronounced Ckoob'tee, Ckib'tee, Goob'tee, Gib'tee, ’ Oob'tee, or ’Ib'tee. All of these sounds bear a great resemblance to the ancient Greek name of Egypt (AtyvTrroc) : but it is generally believed that the name of “Ckoobt” is derived from Coptos, (once a great city, in Upper Egypt,) now called Ckooft, or, more commonly, Gooft; to which vast numbers of the Christian Egyptians retired during the persecution with which their sect was visited under several of the Roman emperors. The Copts have not altogether lost their ancient language, their liturgy and several of their religious books being written in it; but the Coptic has become a dead language, understood by very few persons ; and the Arabic has been adopted in its stead. The Coptic language gradually fell into disuse after the conquest of Egypt by the Arabs. For two centuries after that event, it appears to have been the only language that the generality of the Copts understood ; but before the tenth century of our era, most of the inhabitants of Lower Egypt had ceased to speak and understand it, [this has been shown by 184 COPTIC. T Quatremere, in his Researches on the Language and Literature of Egypt,] though, in the Sa’ee'd (or Upper Egypt), El-]Muckree'zee tells, the women and children of the Copts, in his time, (that is, about the close of the fourteenth centurj’of our era, or the early part of the fifteenth,) scarcely spoke any other language than the Sa’ee'dee Coptic, and had a complete knowledge of the Greek. Soon after this period, the Coptic language fell into disuse in Upper Egypt, as it had done so long before in the Lower Provinces, and the Arabic was adopted in its stead. All the Copts who have been instructed at a school still pray, both in the church and in private,' in Coptic; and tlie Scriptures are still always read in the churches in that language ; but they are explained, from books, in Arabic. Many books for the use of priests and other persons are written in the Coptic language expressed in Arabic characters. — Lane’s Modem Eijjfptiuns, vol. ii. 1836. (iibbon states, that Cavio affords a shelter for the indigent patriarch of the Copts, and a remnant of ten bishops : forty monasteries have survived tlie inroads of the Arabs ; and the progress of servitude and apostasy has reduced the Coptic nation to the despicable number of twenty-five or tliirty thousand families. W'e know very little of the ancient language of Egypt. Nearly all the remains of it we now possess, have been transmitted to us through the Coptic, Sahidic, and Rashmuric Dialects. The Coptic Dialect was spoken in Lower Egypt, of which Memphis was the capital : hence it has been called, with great propriety, the Memphitic Dialect. 'The Saliidic, from the .\rabic word Suhad, or AI Sahad, the Upper, or Superior, was the dialect of Upper Egypt, of which Thebes was the capital; it has, therefore, been called the Thebaic. It is impossible to say which of these two dialects was the more ancient. Georgi, Valperga, M miter, and others, have decided in favour of the Coptic ; and Macriny, Renandot, Lacroze, and Jablonsky, with as much show of reason, have contended for the Sahidic. Stiil, however, the question must be left to conjecture, as we have not sutlicient evidence to enable us to decide upon it. Resides these two dialects, which have long been known, there was a third, whicli was spoken in Raschmour, a province of the Delta. 'Die existence of three dialects in Egypt has been so satisfactorily proved by Quatremere, Englebreth, and other writers; and so fully confirmed by the Raslimuric fragments which have been discovered and publishcil, that little more need be added. It, however, any doubt remain, the following quotation from a manuscript work of Athanasius, a prelate of the Cojitic church, who was Rishop of Kous, will entirely remove it. “The Coptic language,” says he, “is divided into three dialects; the Coptic dialect of Miser, the Rahiric, and the^Rashmuric: these ilifterent dialects are derived from the same language.” 'I'he introduction of Greek words into the Egyptian language com¬ menced, no doubt, from the time of the Macedonian conquest, which the introduction of Christianity tended to confirm and extend. The Christian religion contained so many new ideas, that new terms were necessary to express them. These terms the language of Greece would readily supply; which, probably, were adopted by the Egyptians, from the Greek writings of the apostles. Egyptian literature has recently attracted particular attention. All that has come down to us of the langua^ and literature of ancient Egypt is contained in the Coptic, Sahidic, and Raslimuric dialects; aiul in the Enchorial, Hieratic, and Hieroglyphic inscriptions and manuscripts. COPTIC. 185 The Coptic, or, as it has been called, the Bahiric, but more properly the Memphitic, was the dialect of Lower Egypt; the Mizur of the Scriptures. This dialect is more regular and systematic in its gram¬ matical construction, and more pure, than the others. Manuscripts exist, in Coptic, of nearly the whole of the Sacred Scrip¬ tures, and of the Services of the Coptic church. The works of some of the early Fathers, and the Acts of the Council of Nice, and also the Lives of a considerable number of Saints and Martyrs, are found in the Coptic dialect. Dr. Murray says, the Coptic is an original tongue, for it derives all its indeclinable words and particles from radicals pertaining to itself. Its verbs are derived from its own resources. There is no mixture of any foreign language in its composition, except Greek. The remains which we possess of the Egyptian language, when separated from the Greek, with which it is in some measure mixed up, has no near resemblance to any of the ancient or modern languages. The importance of the Ancient Egyptian to the antiquary will at once appear, when we consider that a knowledge of it is necessary before the inscriptions on the monuments of Egypt can be properly understood, and the Enchorial and Hieratic manuscripts can be fully deciphered. The terms Coptic and Sahidic have been adopted instead of Mem¬ phitic and Thebaic, lest confusion should be created ; as the former are used in those Egyptian publications which have issued from the Oxford University Press. The Coptic alphabet contains Thirty-two Letters. It will be seen, from a comparison of the alphabets, that the Egyptians adopted the Greek alphabet, with the addition of seven letters. The Gamma never occurs in Coptic words, except in one or two instances. It is used instead of the Kappa in words derived from the Greek. The Xi is seldom found in Egyptian words, .but principally occurs in words derived from other languages. It is sometimes used instead of hs. The stops used, are one or two points, • : but two points are most commonly used. The mark used to divide the verses is +. When the point or short line (') occurs over consonants, it generally expresses the vowel e short. It appears, from some words derived from the Greek, that the point (') has been used to express the vowels a and o short. When the point (') occurs above a vowel, it expresses the soft or sharp breathing of the Greeks. When it is found above e long, it denotes the sharp accent; but when placed above the other vowels, it either expresses the soft accent, or it denotes that the letter should be pronounced separately, and agrees with the diaeresis of the Greeks. When the point (') is put over a vowel in the beginning of words derived from the Greek, and which has the aspirate in that language, it indicates a sharp breathing. Some Coptic words are abbreviated by a line or lines above them.— Tattam’s Grammar of the Egyptian Language. 8vo. 1830. Coptic in the British Foundries. English. Oxford. Pica. Caslon and Livermore.

Where it is possible, copy should always be kept locked up in a fire¬ proof closet. As it is rare for an author to have a duplicate, the loss of the manuscript would in many instances be irretrievable; it is also neces¬ sary tc be very careful of the copy of new editions, in which the author or editor has made alterations ; of all posthumous MS. works ; and of unique copies, which sometimes are entrusted to the printer, the loss or destruction of which would be an unpardonable offence, unless it could be shown that all human precautions had been taken for their preser¬ vation. I cannot omit noticing the careless manner in which many com¬ positors keep their copy, leaving it loose on their frames and in their windows, and frequently neglecting to shut them when they quit work in summer, by which means the copy is sometimes blown away and lost, and at other times portions of it are destroyed as waste paper. The best method of preserving it is to have a paper case, or an old book cover, to put it in, and to keep it in the well of the frame, or the drawer when there is one. Copy is generally given out to the compositor in regular portions : if it be printed, a sheet at a time ; if in manuscript, a chapter, or section, as it may be; for the compositor has never the whole volume in his hands at once, excepting it be bound, and not allowed to be cut up, or taken to pieces. If the author supply it in small quantities at a time, it is usually handed to the compositor as it is received. Many gentlemen who write for the press fall into an error, that appears inconsistent even with common reasoning ; viz. that the worse the manu~ script is written, the more likely the work is to he correctly printed: for, say they, the more difficulty the printer meets with in reading it, the more pains he is obliged to take to understand the subject; and of course he will print it more accurately than if he could pass it over in a slovenly manner. In refutation of this prevalent error, I would ask those gentlemen, if they have never received letters from their friends, so hastily and care¬ lessly written that their utmost efforts to decipher every word have been baffled, although they might arrive at the general meaning of the whole; I have myself seen letters which set at defiance all attempts to read them: I would ask those gentlemen, whether in examining ancient MSS. they have not often been perplexed in making out the subject, and after all their endeavours have at last risen from the task in many instances rather guessing at the meaning than, being certain of it. Even so, and worse, is the case of the printer with ill-written manu¬ script, who frequently is ignorant of the subject on which he is engaged; how then is it probable that he should produce a proof as correct as if the manuscript were written in a fair legible hand?—it is neither probable nor possible. I have known more than one author, when appealed to for information on his own writing, unable to read it, and of course unable to explain to the workman the difficulty he was labouring under; and I have heard one of these very persons, among others, main¬ tain, that the worse a manuscript was written, the more probability there was of its being correctly printed. By the Act of the 39 G. 3. c. 79. s. 29. it is enacted, “ That every Person who, from and after the Expiration of forty Days after the passing of this Act, shall print any Paper for Hire, Reward, Gain, or Profit, shall carefully preserve and keep one Copy (at least) of every Paper so printed by him or her, on which he or she shall write, or 188 COllIlECTING. cause to be written or printed, in fair and legible Characters, the Name and Place of Abode of the Person or Persons by whom he or she shall be employed to print the same; and every Person printing any Paper for Hire, Reward, Gain, or Profit, who shall omit or neglect to write, or cause to be written or printed as aforesaid, the Name and Place of his or her Employer on one of such printed Papers, or to keep or preserve the same for the Space of six Calendar Months next after the Printing thereof, or to produce and shew the same to any Justice of the Peace, who, within the said Space of six Calendar Months, shall require to see the same, shall, for every such Omission, Neglect, or Refusal, forfeit and lose the Sura of twenty Pounds.” COPY MONEY. It appears from iNIoxon’s work, that in his time eacli compositor received a copy of the tvork on which he was employed, or, in lieu of it, a sum of money, which was called Copy Money. This cus¬ tom is abolished, and no remains of it exist. See Ancient Customs and d’AKE UP A Sheet. Copyright. See Literary Property. CORDING QUIRES. The outside quires of a ream of paper. — M, Tliey are now called Outsides, or Outside Quires. See Cassie Paper. CORNER IRONS. Irons screwed on the coffin of a wooden press at the extremity of each corner; these irons form a right angle at the outside, and an obtuse angle on the inside, being thicker at the angle than at the extreme ends, so as to allow the quoins to wedge up the form on the press stone. They are quadrat high. CORRECT. When the corrector reads the proof, or the compositor mends the faults he marked in the proof, they are both said to correct; the corrector the proof, the compositor the form. — M. In the first case, it is now styled reading the proof; in the next, the compositor has to put right the errors and mistakes he has made in the workmanship, previously to the sheet being sent to the author or editor; this he does by picking out the wrong letters or words by means of a sharp bodkin, and re])lacing them with the right ones ; but if he have left an out or made a double, he then takes the matter into the composing stick, and over-runs it till he comes to the end of a paragraph; or the error may make one or more even lines, when the trouble is much lessened ; still the length of the page must be had in view and kept right, either by branching out where it will admit of it, or by driving a line or two out, or getting a line or two in in the adjoining pages, according to circumstances, but never to make even lines too suddenly so as to cause the spacing to be un¬ sightly, by being too close, or too wide, for the sake of saving a little trouble in over-running a few lines. For the regularity and despatch of business a compositor should never delay correcting after he has received the proof: it causes disap¬ pointment to the author or proprietors of the work, and injures his employer in his business, by obtaining for him the character of want of regularity and punctuality; it injures the pressmen, by delaying the forms going to press ; and it ultimately injures himself, by causing him to stand still for want of letter. It is a general rule in printing offices, that a compositor should always impose as soon as the sheet on which he is at work is out and made up, and that he also should correct his proof without loss of time. Sec Author’s Proof. First Proof. CORRECTING is the rectifying of such errors in the types as the compositor may have made, and any defects in the workmanship; it also includes making such alterations as the author, on examining the proof sheets, may think necessary. The German printers have an implement, made of wood, similar to the back and bottom of a composing stick, in which they gather the corrections, and place it with them in it on the form, u ithout risk of CORRECTING. 189 injuring the types, leaving their hands free from incumbrance. This appears to be an improvement on our practice, which is, when the cor¬ rections are numerous, to gather them in a composing stick, and place it on the face of the form, for convenience of having them close at hand ; this should be avoided, and neither metal, nor any other article that is likely to injure the types or an engraving, should ever be laid on the face of the letter. The French and the Italians employ a pair of tweezers for picking the wrong letters out of the form, by which they avoid injuring the letter with the bodkin; but there is a bodkin attached to the other end, to use when necessary. They say this is superior to our method of taking out the wrong letter with a bodkin, and executed more readily. In fact, with us there is frequent injury done by the inexperienced or careless workman in using the bodkin; the letter is often injured that is drawn out; if the bodkin is not very sharp, it occasionally slips and spoils the face of six or seven adjoining letters ; and, by its injudicious use, the next letter, under the blade of the bodkin, is often rendered useless. The specimen in p. 191. shows the manner of marking the corrections in a proof. The following is an explanation of the marks therein used, which will enable a gentleman who has to superintend a work through the press to correct the proof sheets in a way that will be clearly under¬ stood by the printer, and will tend to promote correctness, by preventing those mistakes that occasionally occur owing to his not comprehending all the marks on the proof. Where a word is to be changed from small letters to capitals draw three lines under it, and write caps, in the margin. 1. The substitution of a capital for a small letter. 2.

CURVILINEAR PRINTING. In the year 1805, a Mr. Zach. Allimtt published proposals for “ a New Mode of Lniver . Linear Printing, named by me Curvilinear Printing, being a neat, exj p ditious, and cheap Method of printing Plans of Rivers, Canals, Roa<| Estates, Encampments, ^lathematical Figures, and all other Sketcl | required to illustrate any Subject,” DANISH. 19s: “ The Time required in executing such Plans, and on which a Calcu¬ lation of their Expence may be easily made, would be, “ For an Octavo Plan of Demy or Foolscap paper not very much crouded. Time one person one day. “ For a Quarto Demy or Foolscap paper not much crouded, or for an Octavo much crouded. Time two days. “ For a Folio Foolscap not much crouded, or Quarto much crouded. Time three days.” He then proceeds to say, that he had published a small pamphlet, in which he had inserted some specimens of Maps of Rivers and Canals, and a Plan of a Building ; and executed various Plans of Estates; and of Mili¬ tary Positions (but not with Soldier or Tent Types purposely cast), and a Sketch of a Machine, &c.; and that these specimens were composed with common printing types (except the Trees, Houses, Churches, and Compass, which were cast so as to be moveable,) and printed with a common letter-press. He proposed to “ discover and explain ” “ the precise Method of such Curvilinear Printing, with a full and particular Description;^’^ “ if a sufficient Number of Persons, to answer his Expectations, engage as I Subscribers of Ten Guineas each.” “ But if there should not be a sufficient Number of Subscribers hereto according to the Inventor’s Expectations, He will be ready to treat with any Person, or Persons collectively, for the sole Use of this New Method or Invention.” I never knew of any person subscribing, or of any printer practising this particular manner of printing; and I believe that Mr. Allnutt’s discovery would have sunk into utter oblivion, but for a few of his Pro¬ posals, one of which is now lying before me.

Q, q, (Ku, pronounced coo) is here omitted, being not merely super¬ fluous and useless, but even prejudicial to a faithful representation of the language, by observing the origin and affinity of words, for instance, Kvinde, woman, is derived from Kone, wife, hekvem, convenient, from komme, to come (Fr. venir); Kvarter, a quarter of an hour, is also called Korter; Kvast, tuft, is originally the same word as Kost, broom; and kvcele, suffocate, the same as the English hill. The Q is therefore justly rejected by the celebrated grammarian P. Syv, as also by the learned Prof. S. N. J. Bloch in his Danske Sproglcere, Odense 1817. It is how- o 194- Danish. The Alphabet.

O A has been, till the beginning of this century, commonly represented by aa, according to the old Low German orthography, but a is found in ancient Danish and Norwegian manuscripts : it’s reintroduction, proposed by the celebrated Danish grammarian Hojsgard 1743, later by Schlegel, Baden, Nyerup, Schrejber, Thonboe, &c. has, in the last decennium, been realized in about thirty separate books or pamphlets by Prof. A. Gam- borg, Mr. H. J. Hansen, Mr. N. M. Petersen, and also by E. Rask, and several anonymous writers. At all events the sound is simple, and con¬ tinually interchanging with other simple vowels {a, ce, o,) in the inflec¬ tion and derivation of words, for instance, tceller, to count, in the past tense talde or tdlde^ counted; gd, to go. Gang, gait, gcengse, current, common ; from Far, sheep, is derived Fcer<^erne, the Farroe islands. Thus even in kindred dialects ; as, Vingard, vineyard; Tare, tear, Ger¬ man Zahre ; month, German Monath ; open, &c. Whereas aa is sometimes long a, sometimes even to be read in two syllables as : Haarlem, Aaron, Kanaan, Knud Danaast, the name of a Danish prince. The learner however will find aa for a in most printed books hitherto published. O JE, like A, represents a simple vowel sound, and must never be separated or resolved into ae, which make distinct syllables, for instance, bejae (be-ya-e), affirm. (j) and O are commonly confounded, so that (j) is used for both sounds in books printed in the Gothic type, O in those in the Roman cha¬ racter. There are no diphthongs in Danish, but of, ej, oj, uj, dj, even though written by some ai, ei, oi, ui, di, are pronounced with the open sound of the vowels and a distinct g consonant following, never like ai, ei, French oi, ui or the like, for instance, eJ, not, sounds like English eye or I; Konvoj, a convoy, like the vei’b to convoy, &c. In like manner av, ev, iv, ov, cev, fv are pronounced as clear vowels followed by a distinct v consonant or rather w, for the v also is softer after the vowels than at the beginning, for instance, tav, was silent; Brev, letter; stiv, stiff; Tov, cable ; R(bv, fox ; d^v, deaf. The sound of w is particularly observable, when another consonant follows, for instance, tavs, silent; Evropa, Europe ; stivne, to stiffen ; liovne, to swell; Hcevn, revenge; sfvnig, sleepy, drowsy. As to the division of words into syllables, J is always referred to the preceding vowel, which is in these cases constantly pronounced short and sharp, for instance, VeJ-e, ways, not Ve-Je. The other consonants are usually referred to the vowel foliowin-g, when single ; or divided between the preceding and succeeding vowel, when more than one, no care being taken to distinguish the radical parts from the accessories, but in compound words, for instance, Da-ge, days, from Dag, day, but for-ud-si-ge, foretell, ^vomfor-ud, beforehand, and sige, tell, say. It is a great advantage in the Danish orthography, that every noun substantive is written with a capital letter at the beginning, as numbers of words, else perfectly alike, are thereby easily distinguished at the first view.

See Cokuecting. DELIVERING ROOKS. It is the general practice with publishers to leave a work when finished, in the warehouse of the printer, and to send written orders for the delivery of apart. a.s occasion or convenience suits ; the warehouseman should always be jirepared to deliver coi)ies to these orders at the moment, otherwise comjfiaint will be made against him, and he will incur blame; but he ought not on any account to deliver copies without a written order, for should there happen a Jiiistake, or an omission in the publishers making an entry, credit will not be given for them, and he will become responsil)lc. He ought invariably to enter them instanter. and take the person's signature to the entry, and file the order. He will then be enabled, when an account of the delivery is called for, to prove its correctness. DE\ IL. The pressman sometimes has a week boj’ to take sheets, as they are printed, off the tympan : these boys do in a printing house com¬ monly black and daub themselves; whence the workmen do jocosely call them Devils ; and sometimes Spirits, and sometimes Flics. —J/. The boys that make the fires, sweep the rooms, assist in the warehouse, and go on errands, are now called Devils, or Printers Devils; but in the trade they are generally styled Errand Dogs and II archousc Boys.

It originated in casting a type with a pearl face upon a smaller body, for the purpose of getting in, in printing pocket Bibles; the founders subsequently cut it with a smaller face, and made it completely a distinct size. It is not enumerated in Moxon’s list. See Types. Dilly, Charles. See Donations. DIPLE. A mark in the margin of a book to show where a fault is to be corrected. — Salley s Diet.

DIRECTION LINE. The line the direction stands in. — W. See Catch Word. To DISTRIBUTE. To replace the types in their respective boxes in the cases after printing therewith, in order to their being used again. This is done in a very expeditious manner by the compositor, who, placing his composing rule against the head of a page, with his thumbs against it, pressing the sides of both his third fingers against the sides of the matter, and his forefingers against the bottom line of the quantity which he means to lift, takes up what is termed a handful, and keeping the face of the letter towards him, rests one end of the composing rule against the ball of the thumb of his left hand, and pressing the other end of the rule with the third finger, steadies the matter with his forefinger, and thus has his right hand at liberty, with which he takes a word or part of a word from the uppermost line as he holds it in his hand, and drops the several letters into their particular boxes. Matter is always wetted when distributed, to render it slightly cohesive, as the operation is thus performed with more facility than when dry. When the form has not been well rinsed in laying-up, and the types have been much used, the ends of the fingers are apt to get smooth, so as to lose the command, in some measure, of dropping the types into their places with quickness and certainty; in this case compositors frequently keep a piece of alum in some part of the case, and occasionally touch it with their thumb and two fingers, which gives them a little roughness, and restores their com¬ mand of the types. If a compositor is desirous of producing his first proofs free from literal errors, he should be particular in distributing clean, that is, de¬ positing each letter in its proper box. When new letter remains in chase, locked up for any considerable time, it becomes what is termed, baked. See Bake. Distributing Stick. — M. Nee Composing Stick. DIVIDING. There are practical rules in printing for dividing words where the whole of a. word cannot be comprised within the line ; and there are also grammatical rules for the same object. Every print¬ ing office has some peculiarity on this subject. The most general practical method of dividing words is to preserve the primitive word at the end of a line, and carry the termination to the next line; but this cannot always be done, as the following few instances will show. In these and similar cases it will be better to avoid dividing the word, and either drive the whole out, or get the termination in, as the spacing of the line will best allow. air-y bulge-d change-d chufi'-y brace-d carve-d charge-d cleave-r brawn-y cause-d chose-n cloud-y 198 DIVIDING. craft-y crust-y curve-d date-d de\v-y earth-y give-n W ords whose pi another syllable to these two syllables accoin-plices acquaint-ances advan-tages allow-ances appear-ances arti-fices bene-flees cogni-zances conni-vances gloom-y judge-d lapse-d large-st love-r luek-y make-r urals are formed them, by making divided; such as conse-quences differ-ences discord-ances disturb-ances embas-sages enter-prises cqui-pages evi-dcnces exer-cises might-y nest-le part-y plate-d rate-d rhime-r safe-r by the addition the last into two, frontis-pieces hinder-ances observ-ances occur-renees over-charges perform-ances petn-lances post-offices preci-pices scrape-r strange-r tame-d tease-d tune-r vote-r write-r of s, which adds ought not to have prefer-ences privi-leges quintes-senccs recom-pcnces redun-dances rcli-ances rcsem-blanccs resi-dences scn-tences. The terminations of words, chion, cial, cient, cion, cious, shion, sian, sion, tial, tion, and tious, ought never, in my opinion, to be divided, as they each form one sound, although Murray and Walker say they form two syllables. When the primitive word cannot be retained at the end of a line, I would prefer the prefixes ab, ac, ad, al, anti, be, bi, co, com, con, de, di, dia, dis, en, in, per, ])re, j)ro, re, sub, super, un, when words in which they occur require to be divided ; ])rovided it does not cause any great violence in the spacing. When it is necessary to divide a word at the end of a line, it is also necessary to study the appearance of the termination of that line, as well as of the commencement of the succeeding line, for they arc equally affected. An in\proper division of a word will sometimes look better than a proper one, but it ought always to be avoided, if possible. It frequently happens that the last syllable, when it is short, has a meagre appearance at the beginning of a line; when this is the case, it is preferable to drive out another syllabic, provided the appearance and the correctness of the first part of the word are not compromised. It is not usual, and is looked on as bad workmanship, to divide a word with a single letter at the end of a line, for it may be driven out, or, if the line be wide spaced, the next syllable may be got in ; but should the second syllable of the word be a long one, or the last syl¬ lable a very short one, it will then be advisable to overrun a preceding line or two, to get rid of the objectionable division. Neither is it usual to carry over the last syllable of a word if it consist of two thin letters only ; for the hyphen is more than equal to one of them, and changing two or three spaces will make room for the other, without affecting the appearance. Some persons object to the dividing of words at all in .printing, as being unnecessary and displeasing to the eye; but then they must sacrifice all regularity of spacing, which is still worse, and has the ap¬ pearance of bad workmanship. I would recommend that a compositor should make each give way a little to the other, always preserving such an uniformity in spacing that there should be no glaring disproportion in different lines. DIVIDING. 199 Avoid dividing words in lines following each other^ so as not to have hyphens at the ends of two adjoining lines, but never have three or more divided words at the ends of consecutive lines; although five or six may occasionally be seen, yet in book work it is held to be bad workmanship, and should never be allowed to pass. Neither is it desirable to divide proper names, nor the last word in a page so as to have part of a word to begin the succeeding page, particularly when it is an even one ; sums of money and series of figures are never divided. It is not possible in every instance to divide words correctly, par¬ ticularly when the page is of a narrow measure, and the type large; when this happens, the compositor is obliged frequently to sacrifice correctness to necessity; but when the page is of a width proportionate to the size of the type, he may in the usual way of workmanship preserve his regular spacing, and also his correct dividing. The preceding observations may be looked on as practical ones for printing. Lindley Murray gives the following grammatical directions for dividing words. “ 1. A single consonant between two vowels must be joined to the latter syllable: as, de-light, bri-dal, re-source: except the letter x; as, ex-ist, ex-amine: and except likewise words compounded; as, up-on, un-even, dis-ease. “ 2. Two consonants proper to begin a word, must not be separated; as, fa-ble, sti-fle. But when they come between two vowels, and are such as cannot begin a word, they must be divided; as, ut-most, un-der, in-sect, er-ror, cof-fin. “ If the preceding syllable is short, the consonants must be separated : as, cus-tard, pub-lic, gos-ling. “ 3. When three consonants meet in the middle of a word, if they can begin a word, and the preceding vowel be pronounced long, they are not to be separated; as, de-throne, de-stroy. But when the vowel of the preceding syllable is pronounced short, one of the consonants always belongs to that syllable; as, dis-tract, dis-prove, dis-train. “ 4. When three or four consonants, which are not proper to begin a word, meet between two vowels, the first consonant is always kept with the first syllable in the division: as, ab-stain, com-plete, em-broil, dan-dler, dap-ple, con-strain. “ 5. Two vowels, not being a diphthong, must be divided into separate syllables; as, cru-el, deni-al, soci-ety. “ A diphthong immediately preceding a vowel, is to be separated from it: as, roy-al, pow-er, jew-el.* “ 6. Compounded words must be traced into the simple words of which they are composed; as, ice-house, glow-worm, over-power, never- the-less. “ 7. Grammatical, and other particular terminations, are generally separated : as, teach-est, teach-eth, teach-ing, teach-er, contend-est, great-er, wretch-ed, good-ness, free-dom, false-hood. “ Two consonants which form but one sound, are never separated: as, e-cho, fa-ther, pro-phet, an-chor, bi-shop. They are to be considered as a single letter. “ 8. In derivative words, the additional syllables are separated: as, sweet-er, sweet-est, sweet-ly; learn~ed, learn-eth, learn-ing; dis-like, mis-lead, un-even; call-ed, roll-er, dress-ing; gold-en, bolt-ed, be- liev-er, pleas-ing. Exceptions. When the derivative word doubles the single letter of 200 DIVIDING. the primitive, one of those letters is joined to the termination: as, beg, beg-gar; fat, fat-ter; bid, bid-ding. “ When the additional syllable is preceded by c ov g soft, the c ot g is added to that syllable: as, of-fen-ces, cotta-ges, pro-noun-cer, in-dul- ging; ra-cer, fa-cing, spi-ced; wa-ger, ra-ging, pla-ced, ran-ger, chan¬ ging, clian-ged. “ When the preceding single vowel is long, the consonant, if single, is joined to the termination : as, ba-ker, ba-king; ho-ping, bro-ken ; j)o-ker, bo-ny ; wri-ter, sla-vish ; mu-sed, sa-ved. “ The termination y is not to be placed alone: as, san-dy, gras-sy; dir-ty, dus-ty; mos-sy, fros-ty; hea-dy, woo-dy; except, dough-y, snow-y, string-y, and a few other words. But even in these exceptions, it would be proper to avoid beginning a line with the termination y. “ Some of the preceding rules may be liable to considerable ex¬ ceptions; and therefore it is said by Dr. Lowth and others, that the best and easiest directions for dividing the syllables in spelling, is to divide them as they are naturally separated in a right pronunciation, without regard to the derivation of words, or the possible combination of consonants at the beginning of a syllable.” Before quitting this subject, it should be stated that there is yet a mode of dividing, which is peculiar to the philologist. To him it appears but natural that a compounded word should be divided at the point where its elements were originally conjoined. With respect to a j)urely English compound we find this to be one of Murray’s rules; but in an adopted word, however much from its recurrence it may seem to have become our own, the scholar’s eye is oHended, if, where a division has become requi¬ site, it be made in violation of etymological principles. This remark must be understood as having reference only to the division which would occur in the neighbourhood of the point of junction : in other resjrects he does not impugn the validity of the rules which are in general laid down. 'I'o apply with precision this i)rincijde, which, when judiciously practised, is frc(iuently very highly approved, it is evident that an acquaintance with tiic language from which the imported word has been derived, is necessary ; yet. as a person not thus (pialified may occasionally be required to make his divisions in conformity with this system, it has been thought desirable to subjoin a brief list of words in which an uninitiated person would be most likely to err. A few of the following divisions will appear a little startling, and they are in consequence generally evaded ; but it has been thought proper in this jdace to conceal nothing from the general eye which may aj)pear to militate against the full adoption of the system. ’I’lic words seleeted are but a few of the very large class of compounds ; but the rest have been omitted, as their analytical and their syllabical divisions will in general be found to coincide. abs-cess ad-opt an-other au-spicious ab-scind ad-ore ant-agonist aut-opsy ab-scission ad-ust ant-arctic baro-scope abs-cond aero-scopy anti-strophe bin-ocular ab-solve aero-static ant-onomasia cat-acoustic abs-tain amb-ient apo-phthegm cata-strophe abs-terge amb-ition apo-state cat-echisni abs-tinence au-archy apo-stle cat-optrical abs-tract ana-stomosis apo-strophe chir-urgeon abs-truse ana-strophe armi-stice co-gnate ab-use anim-advert atmo-sphere cyn-anthropy DOMESDAY BOOK. 201 de-scend de-scribe de-sperado de-sperate de-spicable de-spise de-spoil de-spond de-sponsate de-spumation de-stitute de-stroy de-struction dia-gnostic dia-stole di-phthong di-ptote di-scind dis-pend di-sperse di-spirit di-spread di-stich di-stil di-strain epi-scopal epi-stle frontispiece.

It was sometimes termed Rotulus Wintonice, and was the book from which judgment was to be given upon the value, tenures, and services of the lands therein de¬ scribed. In 1767, in consequence of an address of the House of Lords, His Majesty George HI. gave directions for the publication of this Survey. It was not, however, till after 1770 that the work was actually com¬ menced. Its publication was entrusted to Mr. Abraham Farley, a gentleman of learning as well as of great experience in records, whohad almost daily recourse to the book for more than forty years. It was completed early in 1783, having been ten years in passing through the press, and thus became genei’ally accessible to the antiquary and topo¬ grapher. It was printed in facsimile, as far as regular types, assisted by the representation of original contractions, could imitate the original.

Abstract of the Charitable Donations at the Dis¬ posal of the Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company of Stationers. I have selected those Donations only which relate, directly or indirectly, to Printers. William Norton, a printer of great note, lived in St. Paul’s Churchyard, who died in 1593. He gave six pounds thirteen shillings and four pence, yearly to his company, to be lent to young men, free of the same Company. The Company in their Abstract of Charitable Donations say “ to the Poor of the said Company.” Mr. Christopher Meredith, in 1655, gave lOZ. a year, to be paid in quarterly pensions to the poor of the Company. — Thomas Guy, Esq., M. P., an eminent bookseller, and the munificent founder of the hospital which bears his name, gave to the Company, in 1717, 1,OOOZ. “ to enable them to add 50 Z. a year, by quarterly payments, to the poor members and widows, in aug¬ mentation of the quarterly charity.” Mr. Theopliilus Cater, in 1718, gave 1,000Z. to the Company, on condition of their paying him an annuity of 50/. for his own life. — After his death, 40/. to be thus dis¬ posed of; to the minister of St. Martin’s, Ludgate, for a sermon, 1/. 10s.; to the reader, 5s.; to the clerk and sexton, 2s. 6c/. each, 5s.; to fourteen poor freemen of the Company, 14/.; to ten poor men of St. Martin’s, 10/.; to ten poor men of Christ¬ church, 11. each. The remainder, (being 4/.) towards a dinner for the master, wardens, and assistants. Mrs. Beata Wilkins, in 1773, gave the picture of Doctor Hoadly, lord bishop of Winchester, now in the Stock-room; and. the interest and produce of all the money arising from her forty-pounds share stock (computed at 320/.) to be distributed, an¬ nually, amongst six poor men and six poor widows, not pensioners to the Company, in the month of December, before Christmas..— Note, The produce of the share was laid out in the purchase of 358/. 11s. 4c/, five per cent. Navy annuities. The yearly dividend is 17/. 18s. 6d. To which the Court add Is. 6d. to make the dividend to each annuitant 1/. 10s. William Bowyer. See Bowyer. William Strahan, Esq., M. P., in 1784, gave 1,000/., one half of the annual interest to be divided in equal shares or proportions to five poor journeymen printers, natives of England or Wales, freemen of the Company ; the other half in equal shares or propor¬ tions to five poor journeymen printers, natives of Scotland, without regard to their being freemen or being non-freemen of the Company. — Note. The yearly dividend of this bequest is 39/. 14s. lOd. —to which 5s. 2d. (part of a subsequent donation by Andrew Strahan, Esq.) has since been added, to make the dividend to each annuitant 4/. Thomas Wright, Esq., late alderman of London, in 1794, gave 2,000/. four per cent. Bank annuities, the dividends to be distributed as follows; upon the first day of January 50/. 8s. amongst twenty-four poor freemen of the said Company, not receiving any other pension from the Company, 2/. 2s. each. To the clerk of the Company 3/. 3s. for his trouble upon this occasion. And 26/. 9s. residue of such dividends, for providing a dinner for the master, wardens, and assistants, of the Company, upon the day of distribution. Mr. Richard Johnson, in 1795, gave all the remainder of his property whatsoever, to the Company, upon the following conditions: that they allow his sister, Mary John¬ son, 50/. per annum, and 10/. per annum to his uncle Lockington Johnson, or to his wife, Elizabeth Johnson, during their natural lives. After the deaths of his sister and uncle, and his wife, the whole property to be divided half-yearly, “ among five very poor widows, who have seen better days, above the age of sixty; whose husbands were liverymen, and in a good way of business; were either stationers, printers, booksellers, or binders.” 206‘ DONATIONS. Charles Dllly, Esq., in November, 1803, (being then a member of the Court of Assistants,) transferred 700/. three per cent, annuities to the Company, the dividends to be “ paid equally to two widows of liverymen 'of the Company, who have lived in better circumstances, and met unexpected misfortunes, but who, through their conduct and manners in life, are deserving of superior help. And if there should be candidates of sixty years of age, or upwards, I should wish them to have the preference.” IVIrs. Elizabeth Baldwin, widow of Mr. Richard Baldwin a liveryman, gave 250/. stock in the three per cents, the dividends to be laid out and expended in the purchase of five great coats, to be annually given to five poor liverymen or freemen of the Siiid Company in the first week of the month of December for ever. — AVe.

As the method of printing engrav¬ ings on wood, here described, applies to what is termed fine printing, it may be as well in the outset to define what is meant by this expression, in its application to this subject. ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. 211 Fine printing, in this point of view, is the art of obtaining impressions from an engraving on wood, of the surface and the surface only, so as to produce the eifect which the artist intended, in the highest state of perfection. There is a material difference between an engraving on wood and one on copper: the first is engraved in relief, that is, the lines are left stand¬ ing, and the part which in the impression is to appear white is cut away or, technically, blocked out; the lines of the engraving on copper, on the contrary, are cut in the metal, and the part that is to be white in the impression is left untouched in the metal by the engraver. There is also a material difference in the manner of obtaining im¬ pressions : those from an engraving on wood are produced by coating the surface of the lines with ink by beating it with balls or passing a roller over it, and then, with a piece of paper upon it, submitting it to pressure between two parallel plane surfaces, or by a cylinder rolling over it. An engraving on copper is smeared over the whole face with ink, which is worked into the lines ; the surplus ink is then wiped off the surface of the plate, on which a piece of paper is laid to receive the impression, and these are passed between two cylinders, which press the paper into the engraved lines by a violent squeeze. It will easily be perceived by this slight description that the two pro¬ cesses are completely distinct from each other, although the effect pro¬ duced is nearly the same. I will now proceed to describe the process of producing impressions from engravings on wood in a superior manner. After putting a block on the press, the workman ought to be very gentle in the pull for the first impression, to prevent an accident, which has frequently occurred from thoughtlessness in this particular, by making the pull too hard, and crushing some of the lines; by avoiding this he will be safe, and can proportion his pull to the subject. He should also examine, previous to pulling, that there be nothing on the block — no pins that'he may have for his tympan sheet, nor any needle with which he may have been taking out a pick. — Such accidents have happened, and caused great trouble to the engraver, as well as loss of time and disappointment; besides entailing a character of careless¬ ness on the printer. In imposing a single block, where the press is large at which it is to be worked, it will be in danger of springing out of the chase while beating, from the quantity of furniture about it: it is a good remedy to impose it in a job chase, and to impose this chase again in a larger one ; this will cause it to lie flatter on the press, and firmer in the beating, as the small chase can be locked up tight in the large one, without having too much furniture, and the large one can be secured firmly on the press by quoins and the corner irons. Neither the pressure nor the impression in an engraving on wood should be uniformly equal: if they be, the effect that is intended to be produced by the artist will fail; and instead of light, middle tint, and shade, an impression will be produced that possesses none of them in perfection ; some parts will be too hard and black, and other parts have neither pressure nor colour enough, with obscurity and roughness, and without any of the mildness of the middle tint, which ought to pervade great part of an engraving, and on which the eye reposes after viewing the strong lights and the deep shades. To produce the desired effect, great nicety and patience are required in the pressman; a single thickness of thin India paper, which is the 212 ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. paper I would always recommend to be used as overlays for engravings, is frequently required over very small parts, with the edges of it scraped down, for it is advisable that the overlay should never be cut at the edges, but, even wliere great delicacy of shape is not required, that it should be torn into the form wanted, which reduces the thickness of the edges, and causes the additional pressure to blend with the surround¬ ing parts. Particular parts of the impression will frequently come up much too strong, and other parts too weak, it will tlien be necessary to take out from between the tympans a thickness of paper, and add an additional tympan sheet, cutting away those parts that come oh' too hard, and scrap¬ ing down the edges ; scraping away half the thickness of a tympan sheet in small parts that require to be a little lightened will improve the im- })ression. The liglit parts require little pressure, but the depths should be brought up so as to produce a full and firm im])ression. If a block be hollow on the surface, underlaying the hollow part will bring it up better than overlaying it, at least so much that it shall only require a thickness or two of ])aper as overlays. If a block be too low, it is advisable to underlay it, for the purpose of raising it to the proper height, in preference to making use of overlays, for they act in some measure as blankets, being pressed into the interstices, and rendering the lines thicker than in the engraving. It will bo necessary sometimes, when the surface of the block is very uneven, to tear away parts of the paper in the tympan, to equalise the impression where it is too hard. 'I’he jiressman will find it convenient to pull a few impressions while he is making ready, on soilcil or damaged India jiajier, for out of these he can cut overlays to the precise shape and size that is wanted, as he will constantly find it necessary to do so in instances where great accu¬ racy is reiiuired in overlaying particular portions; and in these instances he cannot well do without a sharp ])enknife and a pair of good small scissars. .A, tine sharp bodkin and a needle or two, to take out picks, are also needful ; but he should be particularly careful in so using them as that he do no injury. The best way to avoid this is to draw the bodkin or needle point cautiously in the direction of the lines. Engravings that are in the vignette form require great attention to keep the edges light and clear, and in general it is necessary to scrape away one or two thicknesses of paper, in order to lighten the impression and keep it clean ; for the edges being irregular, and parts, such as small branches of trees, leaves, tkc. straggling, for the purpose of giving freedom to the design, they are subject to come off too hard, and are liable to picks, which give great trouble, and are difficult to be kept clear of. Hearers letter-high placed round the block, if they can be apj)lied without the balls touching them, will be found advantageous; if they cannot, pieces of reglet, pasted on the frisket in the usual way, and taking a bearing on the furniture, must be substituted, but the high bearer is to be preferred where it can be adopted ; these bearers equalise the pressure on the surface of the engraving, and protect the edges from the severity of the pull, which is always injurious to the delicacy of the external lines. They also render the subject more manageable, by enabling the pressman to add to, or diminish, the pressure on par¬ ticular parts, so as to produce the desired effect. When great delicacy of impression is demanded in a vignette, it will be found beneficial, after the engraving is beat with ink, to take a small ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. 213 ball without ink, and beat the extremities: this will not only take away any superfluity of ink, but will be a means of preventing picks, and give to the edges lightness and softness, particularly where distances are represented. If the extremities are engraved much lighter than the central parts, underlays should be pasted on the middle of the block, which will give a firmer impression to those central parts of the subject: it would save trouble to cause the block to be a little rounded on the face, as it would give facility in obtaining a good impression. When highly finished engravings on wood are worked separately, woollen cloth, however fine, should never be used for blankets, as it causes too much impression ; two thicknesses of stoutish hard smooth paper, in lieu of it, between the tympans is better:, sometimes even a piece of glazed pasteboard is used inside the outer tympan. The parch¬ ments ought to be in good condition, stretched tight, of a smooth surface, thin, and of regular thickness, so as to enable the pressman to obtain an impression as nearly as possible from the surface only of the engraved lines. It is indispensably necessary that the balls should be in the best order, the same as for the finest work; and the pressman should be very particular in taking ink, distributing his balls, and beating the block well, otherwise he will not obtain clear, uniform, good impressions. If the block be small, and it is worked by itself, he will find that he can take ink more uniformly in small quantities, by first taking ink with a pair of regular sized balls, and distributing, and then taking ink from them to work his cut with ; and this more particularly if he be using a pair of small balls. For this work he ought always to have tjhe best ink that can be procured. A large wood cut left on the press stone all night is very apt to warp ; when this happens, a good method to restore it to its original flatness is to lay it on its face upon the imposing stone, with a few thicknesses of damp paper underneath it, and to place the flat side of a planer upon it, and four or five octavo pages of tied up letter; in the course of a few hours the block will be restored to its original flatness. This method is preferable to steeping the block in water, which has been frequently practised ; for the steeping svvells the lines of the engraving, and consequently affects the impression to a much greater extent than this operation. For retaining the original effect, as it came from the hands of the artist, I would carefully prevent the block ever being wet with water, and, when it had been worked in a form with types, would take it out before the form was washed. To prevent this warping during the dinner hour or the night, turn the tympan down upon the form, run the carriage in, and pulling the bar handle home, fasten it to the near cheek by the catch, where there is one, or else by a chain or rope, or by a stay to the bar from the off- cheek ; in iron presses this way is efficacious. However long a time boxwooS may be kept in the log, it will always twist and warp when cut into slices for engraving, on account of fresh surfaces being exposed to the air: large blocks may be restored to their flatness by laying them on a plane surface, with the hollow side downward, without any weight on them, in the course of a night. When only a few proofs are wanted from an engraving, good impres¬ sions may be obtained with little trouble on dry India paper, with about six thicknesses of the same sort of paper laid over it, and pulled without the tympan. This observation applies to small cuts, and those 214. ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. of a moderate size ; if proofs arp wanted from large ones, it will be found advantageous to put the India paper for a few minutes into a heap of damp paper. A fine engraving on wood should never be brushed over with lye : the best method that I have found in practice, is to wipe the ink off with a piece of fine woollen cloth damped with spirits of turpentine ; and if it should get foul in working, to clean it with a softish brush and spirits of turpentine. It will be found in practice that spirits of tur- })entine take off the ink quicker, and affect the wood less, than any otlier article used ; and the facility with which tlie block is again brought into a working state, more than compensates for the trifling additional expense incurred, as nothing more is required tlian to wijie the surface dry, and to pull two or three impressions on dry waste papei\ The engravers always show an impression when the block is taken home to their employer ; and this impression is taken in a manner, where the subject is not of a large size, such as to produce a superior effect to what a printer can with a press, when he has a number to do, Avhich are generally worked in a form with types, and his price so low for printing, as not to enable him to do justice to the subjects. This causes great dissatisfaction to his employer, and he is unable to remedy the grievance ; for the engraver’s proof is obtained by means of a burnisher, with one thickness of pajjer in addition to that printed on, so that he can examine each ])art to bring it up where it is required, and leave the others as delicate as he pleases : he thus obtains an impression from the surface only, perfect in all its parts, with the best ink that can be ])rocurcd ; while the printer gives dissatisfaction, be¬ cause he cannot, in the way of trade, perform impossibilities. Papillon, in his work on Engraving on Wood, published in 1766, complains of a plan nearly similar being adopted by the French en¬ gravers, with which he finds great fault. The following is a trans¬ lation of the passage: — “ Some engravers on wood have the knack of fabricating the proofs of their engravings far more delicately, and in a more flattering manner than they really ought to be; and this is the means they make use of— they first take ofl’ two or three, in order to adjust one of them to their fancy,-and which they think will favour their imposition; having selected it, they only beat anew the parts of the block charged with shades and the deeper strokes, in such a manner, that the lighter ones, distances, Ac. being only lightly covered with ink, in as far as not being touched in the new beating, they retain no more than what was left by the pre¬ ceding impression ; the result is, that the new proof comes off extremely delicate in those places, and appears pleasing to the ej'e ; but when this block is printed in conjunction with letterpress, the impressions then a]>pear in their natural state, and totally different from that which they presented on delivery of the work. The strokes are of one equal tint, hard, and devoid of softness, and tl^e distances are often less delicate than the foregrounds. I shall risk little by saying that all the three Le Sueurs have made use of this trick.” The pressman will find it an advantage, if it be necessary to do full justice to an engraving, to have a good impression from the engraver, and place it before him as a pattern, and then arrange the overlays, &c., till he produces a facsimile in effect; but the most valuable lesson will be when he can obtain the assistance of the artist at the press side, to direct him in making ready the cut, and I would advise him by no means to be impatient at the tediousness of the operation, as he will E^HIOPIC. 215 obtain more information how to produce a fine impression by this than by any other means. It will also instruct him how to meet the wishes of the draftsman and the engraver, with regard to etfect, in a way superior to any other j and will, with care and attention, ultimately lead him to excellence in printing engravings on wood. An assertion is now generally promulgated, that machine printing is superior to that of the press, even for engravings on wood, and thus misleading publishers and the public. When I come to speak of machines, and of presses, I will endeavour to show that it is incom¬ patible with the principle of a machine that it can equal a press in producing fine work. Errand Boy. See Devil. ERRATA. A list of errors that have escaped both the author and the printer. It is generally printed in a small type at the end of the work. It should always be kept down, and never brought out in a prominent manner. Some authors seem partial to extend the errata, by noticing the most trifling mistakes, such for instance as a turned letter, and adding corrections of the writing and of misstatements of facts, as well as new facts which may have arisen; and all under the name errata, as if they were entirely the errors of the printer; in this case they ought to be styled Corrections and Additions. In my opinion, there is no occasion to insert in the errata any thing that does not affect the sense. Mr. Beloe, in his Anecdotes of Literature, states that “ the book which is distinguished by the greatest number of errata on record, is that containing the works of Pica Mirandula, printed at Strasburgh in 1507, by a printer of the name of Knoblouch. The errata of this volume occupy no less than fifteen folio pages.” ETHIOPIC. TheEthiopic language is descended from the Hebrew, yet approaching nearer to the Arabic than to any other of the Semitic languages. It observes the order of reading and writing from left to right, in common with the other languages of the same origin. It has twenty-six characters peculiar to itself, of which the order, figure, name, and power are as follow : — 1. U: Hoi. h, n * 14. n: Caph. c, D 2.

These four ‘t’o fTtb 8 :, and 8 : or 0:, have a sound altogether at variance with European custom, and the correct pronunciation can only be learnt by hearing. But one destitute of a preceptor may approach nearer to their genuine sounds, by first prefixing to each the power of the vowel i, thus, ih, it, ip, iz, and afterwards, having substituted in its place an apostrophe, he may add the vowels, in this manner 'h-a, ’h~e, ’k-i, &c., and similarly with 7-n, ’p-a, ’z-ci, &c. In Ethiopic the numbers are not represented by the letters, but by certain peculiar figures formed apjjarently from the Greek letters, and which are included within two small lines, in the following manner: — 1. 0: / U 50. 7: 2 . 8: 60. 5 : r 3. _r f V 70.

When a piece of printing has to be executed in great haste, a number of compositors are employed on it, and the copy is cut into small pieces for each, to facilitate the making-up, imposing, and the general furthering of the work ; if the copy should be in long paragraphs, the compositors have each to begin a line and to make their copy end a line, frequently with great irregularity of spacing ; this is termed making even lines. In daily newspapers it is of constant occurrence. EVEN PAGE. The second, fourth, sixth, or any other even num¬ bered page is called an even page. Exclamation, Note of. See Punctuation. EXERCISING THE PELT. Frequently currying a pelt, to get it into condition, is termed Exercising the Pelt, or Giving the Pelt Exercise. FAC. 221 F. FAC. Before the introduction of printing into Europe, and its ap¬ plication to the production of books, the Librarii or writers of books, in Rome, were a regular company who had several immunities: their busi¬ ness was a trade, and they were regulated by certain laws. Besides these writers of books, there were artists whose profession was to ornament and paint manuscripts, who were called Illuminators; the writers of books first finished their part, and the illuminators embellished them with orna¬ mented letters and paintings. We frequently find blanks left in manu¬ scripts for the illuminators which were never filled up. Some of the ancient manuscripts are gilt and burnished in a style superior to later times. Their colours were excellent, and their skill in preparing them was very great. This practice, of introducing ornaments, drawings, emblematical figures, and even portraits into manuscripts, is of great antiquity. Varro wrote the lives of seven hundred illustrious Romans, which he enriched with their portraits, as Pliny attests in his Natural History. Pomponius Atticus, the friend of Cicero, was the author of a work on the actions of the great men amongst the Romans, which he ornamented with their portraits, as appears in his life by Cornelius Nepos; but these have not been transmitted to posterity. However there are many precious docu¬ ments remaining, which exhibit the advancement and decline of the arts in different ages and countries. These inestimable paintings and illu¬ minations, display the manners, customs, habits, ecclesiastical, civil, and military, weapons and instruments of war, utensils and architecture of the ancients; they are of the greatest use in illustrating many important facts, relating to the history of the times in which thej'' were executed. In these treasures of antiquity are preserved a great number of specimens of Grecian and Roman art, which were executed before the arts and sciences fell into neglect and contempt. The manuscripts containing these specimens, form a valuable part of the riches preserved in the prin¬ cipal libraries of Europe. The Royal, Cottonian, and Plarleian libraries, as also those in the two Universities in England, the Vatican at Rome, the Imperial at Vienna, the Royal at Paris, St. Mark’s at Venice, and many others. When the art of printing was first applied in Europe to the production of books, they were in imitation of, and sold as, manuscripts; and blanks were left at the commencement of the respective divisions of the work, for the illuminator to fill in with the proper letters, and ornaments, as was usual in manuscripts, and so close was the imitation that, even in our own time, it has required the assistance of a chemical test to ascer¬ tain which was manuscript and which was printed. When the secret of printing was divulged, and the deception could not be continued, orna¬ mental letters of a large size were introduced, and printed with two colours, generally red and blue, the letter being of one colour, and flou¬ rishes, extending the whole length of the page, in the other, so as to have the appearance of being done with a pen; then succeeded various gro¬ tesque figures, in attitudes to resemble letters; afterwards small Roman Capital Letters, with ornaments round them forming a square design; subsequently the block was pierced so that any letter could be intro¬ duced, and the ornamented part could be used for any initial; the next descent was for the letter founders to cast the ornament in type metal, and pierce it for general use, and these cast ornaments for letters were 222 FINE PRESSWORK. called Facs, as an abbi-eviation, I believe, for Facsimile. The last de¬ scent was to the extreme, to put a plain Roman Capital Letter, frequently extending four or five lines in depth; and this is the substitute for a beautiful eoloured drawing. FACE OF A LETTER. The surface of that extremity of the type which bears the letter. FzVCE OF A PAGE, or Form. The superficies of a page or form, where the faees of every letter lie in the same plain. — M. FALLING OUT. The same as Dropping out, which see. But this term is more generally applied to a page, a quarter, or a whole form, when any one of them falls out of a chase from the shrinking of the quoins and furniture. In summer time particularly, forms in chase require to be frequently examined, and the (pioins tightened, to prevent this accident, and more especially when they have been imposed in wet furniture. Compositors should neither be negligent, nor forgetful of this, as in the progress of a work the forms are in their charge, and if the whole of a form, or j)art of it, falls out, they not only have to distribute the i)ie, but to reeompose the matter gratuitously. FANNING. This is a term used in the Warehouse, in counting paper. It consists of taking hold of tlie right hand lower corner of a portion of the paper between the Hat siile of the fore finger and the end of the thumb, and j)inching it tolerably tight; then with a twist of tlie wrist turtiing the right hand edge of the paper up, and running the left hand over the surface of the paj)er, it separates the sheets at the top corner, so as to have somcwTiat the appearance of a I’an, and enables the person to count it with facility.

With compositors, short pages, blank pages, and light open - matter: with pressmen, light forms, ibrms that only reejuire one pull at wooden presses; and very small numbers, such as five, ten, fifteen, or twenty copies each, are termed Fat.

Sec Cards. FINE PRESSWORK. This is the technical term for presswork of superior quality; it is in some measure indefinite, for, as presswork is paid a certain price for a given number, and the price advances accord¬ ing to the time and care bestowed on it, that for which the lowest price is paid is termed common work, and after the price has advanced about one half in addition, it is styled fine work; although it may advance gradually to six times the lowest price, or more, it is still called fine work. In aiming at excellence in printing, it will be found that Presswork deserves particular consideration, as a part on which the beauty of a book so much depends. It will be necessary, in the first instance, to endeavour to define more FINE PRESSWORK. 223 particularly wliat is meant by the term Fine Presswork, for except this be understood, we shall come to no satisfactory conclusion, as workmen vary in their opinions respecting it, and frequently produce sheets of dif¬ ferent shades of colour in the same volume, when it is done at different presses, and all under the name of the finest work; and when the same person either actually prints the whole, or superintends it, the work will be executed according to his criterion, without any fixed rule whereby to decide; thus one man shall produce the finest work, according to his opinion, of a pale grey colour, while another will produce it so black and surcharged with colour, that if the ink be not of a very good quality, it will not only smear, but the paper at the edges of the letters, nay, even the whole page, will be tinged with the oil which separates from the colouring matter of the ink, to the entire destruction of all beauty_of workmanship. Fine Presswork is the art of printing perfect impressions from the sur¬ face of engravings in relief. By obtaining perfect impressions, I would be understood that the sub¬ ject transferred to^paper should be an impression from the surface and the surface only of the engraved lines, of such a tone as to produce all the effect of which the subject is capable, without either superfluity or deficiency of colour. Having thus defined my meaning of the term Fine Presswork, I shall speak of the means by which it is to be produced, which may be of use to those who have not had opportunities of printing splendid books. The press ought to be in the best condition, otherwise there will be no certainty of the impression being equal, except with great trouble and loss of time. The joints of the tympan should not have any play; if they have, it will affect the register, which being out disfigures the appearance of the book; it also causes a great risk of producing slurs and doubles: the most certain way of having them without play is to construct them on centres, so that if they should work a little loose, they can at any time, with the greatest ease, be tightened by means of the screws on which the centres are formed. The parchments on the tympans should be thin, and of a uniform thickness, and stretched on the tympans so as not to be flaccid. It is said that the French printers in their finest works used silk on the tym¬ pans, on account of its thinness, its smoothness, and uniformity. The face of the platen ought to be a true plane, and parallel to the press stone, or table. It will be found in practice that an iron platen is superior to a wooden one for producing a sharp clear impression, where fine work is wanted; for, by discarding woollen blankets, the pressure must be increased to obtain this effect, which indents wood, and then requires so many overlays to make a uniform impression, that they pro¬ duce nearly the same effect as blankets, and it becomes necessary to new face the surface frequently, which is inconvenient and expensive : the iron platen is not subject to this inconvenience; but it is more liable to injure the types, as it will not yield ; and should there be any inequality on the surface of the form, owing to it not being well planed down, or to any extraneous matter being upon it or under it, the types must give ways and be destroyed. Generally speaking, the iron platen wears the types more than a wooden one. The head of the press should be so justified as to produce what is termed a soaking pull; that is, the form should begin to feel the pressure of the platen when about two thirds down; then, when the bar is pulled home, or what is technically called cheeked, which I would always recom- 224 FINE PRESSWORK. mend to be done in good work, as it keeps the pull regular and uniform, the power slowly increases, and the paper lias time to be pressed gra¬ dually on the types, which causes it to receive the ink on all its parts, and produces a clear impression. This justifying the head relates to wooden presses, where the head and the winter are allowed some play, which is tilled up with pieces of scale- board, called cards, cut to the size of the mortises in the cheeks, and inserted in them upon the tenons of the head, and under the tenons of the winter, allowing the pull to have some elasticity. For mj’ own part, I would have the winter lie solid, and the spring be confined to the head. /See Winter. In the iron presses constructed on the late Earl Stanhope’s principle, where increased power is produced by means of a compound lever applied to the screw, and where there is no elasticity in the pull, this effect is produced in a greater degree than in a press of the common construction; for, as the platen descends on the form, the power increases considerabl}', but the motion is slower; thus the effect of the soaking pull is preserved, with a considerable addition of power, owing to the combined action of the screw and the compound lever. In lluthven’s press, where the platen is suspended from the head, and brought over the form by means of small wheels with grooves in their edges running on the ribs, the pull is regulated by screws on the locking jiicces, and also through the springs by which it rests on the ribs, that bring it nearer to, or remove it from the form. In C'lymer’s Columbian press, where the power is obtained by a com¬ pound lever, the jnill is regulated by a screw that connects the bar with the lever, and additionally by thin plates of iron placed upon the top of the platen under the bottom of the spindle. It is also regulated in the same way, in the Albion press, as originally constructed by R. W. Cope. In Sherwin ami Cope’s Imperial press the pull is justified by a wedge above the head of the spindle or bolt in the front, which has a screw attached to it with a projecting head, by which the pull is adjusted to the greatest nicety, with ease and facility. iNIr. Hopkinson has adopted the same plan in the Albion press since it came under his management on the death of Mr. Cope. The advantage of having a good press will be unavailing for the pro¬ duction of fine work, if the types are much worn; for it will be found impossible to produce a sharp clear impression if the perfect shape of the letter and the fine lines are rounded and worn away by much use, as, in consequence of this roumlncss of the letter from wear, it will be neces¬ sary to use much blanket in the tympan to bring up the shape of the whole letter, which uill produce a gross and indelicate impression of more than the surface. I have been told that Didot, of Paris, in his most splendid works, never printed more than three sheets from the same fount of letter, when it was sent to the melting pot, and replaced by a new fount. The colour of the ink must depend on the taste or fancy of the master printer; — but no, I am mistaken, for, unless he prepares his own ink, he is obliged to use that only which is manufactured for general use; and there is little if any choice in purchasing this article, when it is wanted of a superior quality. Leaving the particular shade or tone out of the question, I will state my opinion as to w hat the qualitiesof black printing ink ought to be for fine work. Intenseness of colour. Impalpability. FINE PRESSWORK. 225 Covering the surface perfectly of the type or engraving. Quitting the surface of the type or engraving, when the paper is pressed on it, and adhering to the paper. Not smearing after it is pi’inted. Retaining its first appearance without any change. Ink ought to be reduced to an impalpable smoothness, either in a mill or on a stone with a mullar; and this is essentially necessary, as the process gives it the next quality— of completely covering the surface of the type, or the lines of the engraving, and that with the smallest quan¬ tity; and, with proper care in printing, presents to the eye an impression, in which the edges of the lines are smooth and perfect, and the surface of the impression on the paper is completely covered with ink, without any superfluity; which constitute the perfection of presswork with types. Another property required in ink is, that it shall not only cover the surface of the lines on the paper printed, but that it shall also quit the face of the type or engraving, and leave it quite clean when the paper is impressed on it, and attach itself to the paper, so as to give a perfect impression of the subject represented, without the colour of the paper appearing through the ink; and that this property, of quitting the type or engraving, and becoming attached to the paper, shall continue the same through any number of impressions, without any accumulation of ink on the surface printed from. After having obtained these results, and when the printing is as perfect as it can be made by workmanship, still something more is requisite, viz, that the ink shall not smear on being slightly rubbed ; and that it shall re¬ tain its colour and appearance, without the oil in the ink spreading at the edges, or tinging the paper — in short, that it shall continue unchanged for any length of time, thus preserving and continuing the beauty of the work. The balls should be in good condition, otherwise the pressman may exert his skill in vain, with a great loss of time and waste of paper, with¬ out the intended eflPect, They are made smaller and stuff'ed tighter with wool than those used for common work, which enables the press¬ man to distribute the strong ink that is used with more facility; they also cover the surface with ink better than if they were softer, and are easier for the workman; for large soft balls, used with ink made very strong with varnish and colour, would be almost unmanageable. The quality of the paper is of great consequence in fine printing, but it is frequently overlooked by the printer’s employers, who are too apt to pay more attention to a showy appearance and a low price, than to quality. The best paper for receiving an impression, as I have observed in the article Engravings on Wood, is India paper; but as that which comes to England is thin, it is not used for bookwork, neither would it be durable, as it wants toughness to enable it to sustain much wear. The next best paper for printing is French plate paper, which is supe¬ rior to English plate paper, as the latter has a good deal of gypsum in its composition, which causes it to be very uncertain in the wetting; for having given it a sufficient quantity of water, judging from appearances and by comparison, and expecting to have it in good condition, the pressman shall find it, when wanted for use, nearly dry, and harsh, and the water unequally diffused; it has then to be wetted again, and particular attention must be paid to the turning and pressing of it, before it is in a proper state for printing on. I attribute this effect to the gypsum, which has had its water of crystallization driven off by fire in preparing it, and the Q 226 FIXE PRESSWORK. water which it takes up in wetting crystallizes to supply its place. I do not say that all English plate paper is affected in this manner by water, but I have repeatedly experienced it in practice; and in the second wet¬ ting, if great care be not taken, the gypsum being already saturated, it will imbibe too much water, which wilt squeeze out in printing, and prevent tlie paper from taking the ink uniformly, so as to spoil the impression. The best English paper for printing on is that which is made of fine linen rags, and moderately sized, without the use of acids in bleaching, and witliout being adulterated with cotton rags: this paper takes water kindly, is easily got into good condition, receives a good impression, is durable, preserves its colour, and does not act upon the ink. Messrs. J. Dickinson and Co. have made great improvements in the (luality of paper, and manufacture one kind which is admirably adapted for printing, being made by a peculiar process which gives it a par¬ ticular qffinifi/ for the ink. They have also introduced improvements in the manufacture which have superseded the use of French paper with us, and have also nearly done so with the Chinese or India paper. Having thus spoken of what I mean by fine presswork, and of the ma¬ terials by which it is to be ])roduced, 1 shall now proceed to describe the process; for when a printing otfice is provided with materials of the best quality, and the master of it is desirous of producing superior workman¬ ship, there is something more required — he must resolve to lay in a fund of patience, as well as to submit to a great and continued expense of ma¬ terials, or else he will never excel. A good pressman will, as a matter of course, be well acquainted with the whole of the usual routine of j)resswork ; in addition to which, to form his judgment, he should make himself acquainted with the most splendid books, and study them as patterns of workmanship. In making ready it must be evident, that when a clear sharp impression is wanted, the ])ressurc should be on the surface only, without penetrating into the interstices ; of course the tympan ought not to be very soft, neither should any woollen blanket be used : the most perfect impression will be obtained when fine thick paper alone is used in the tympans, and even of this article 1 would not recommend many thicknesses. After an impression is printed, the pressman examines if it be uniform throughout; if it be, which is very rarely the case, he goes on with the work ; if not, he proceeds to overlay, in order to produce regularity of pressure, anil of colour, over the whole form. To effect this object, he takes thin smooth paper, and wherever the impression is weak he pastes a bit of it, of the size and shape of the imper¬ fect part, on the tympan sheet, and proceeds in the same manner with every part that is imperfect; he then pulls another impression to examine the effect of his overlays, and continues to add to them where wanted, till the pressure of the platen is the same in every part, and the impression is uniformly of one shade of colour. If the impression come off too strong in parts, or at the edges or corners of the pages, or on the head lines, it will be necessary to cut away the tympan sheet in those parts, and, if that does not ease the pressure suffi¬ ciently, to cut away the same parts from one or more of the sheets that are within the tympans. It is generally preferable to overlay on a sheet of stout smooth paper inside the tympan, and particularly where the same press does the whole or great part of a work : this sheet is cut to fit the interior of the tympan, so as not to slip about, and has overlays pasted on it where wanted, to bring up the impression till it is very nearly equal; in all succeeding FINE PRESSWORK. ’ 227 sheets it saves the pressman a great deal of time, as he will be certain that when he pulls a sheet of another form of the same work it will be nearly right, and he will only have to place thin overlaj^s on occasional parts to make the impression perfect^ with very little trouble. On the same principle, where this method is not adopted, preserving and using the same tympan sheet with its overlays, will be more expeditious than having to repeat the operation with every form. Where short pages occur in a form, the bottoms of them and the edges of the adjoining pages will print too hard, and not prove a clear impression ; it will therefore be necessary to have bearers to protect them, which are generally of double pica reglet pasted on the frisket, so as to bear on some part of the furniture or chase ; but high bearers, made to the height of the types, are better, when they can be placed so that the balls do not touch them during the process of beating: in such a case they are liable to tear the frisket, from their closely adhering to it by their inky surface and the pressure. They may be placed where the regular foot of the page would have been had it been a full one, to prevent those hard edges which would otherwise be produced. This principle will hold good in all cases of short pages, blank pages, and the edges of wood cuts; but where it happens that some of the edges, or a particular page of a full form, come off too hard, and where there is not room to place a high bearer, then a piece of double pica reglet pasted on the frisket in the usual way will answer the purpose. It is not necessary that these bearers should be placed close to the part requiring to be eased ; they will produce the same effect if placed at a distance, keeping the direction, so that they take a good bearing on the platen, avoiding the frame of the frisket and the points ; in using reglet as low bearers, I would recommend that the flat side of the furniture should be turned uppermost to receive the pressure of the bearers, pro¬ vided they do not bear upon the chase. When a high bearer does not ease the pull sufficiently on particular parts, its effect may be increased by pasting slips of stout paper on it, as overlays or underlays, and a bearer of reglet may be amended in a similar manner. It happens occasionally that the tympan causes the paper to touch the form partially on being turned down, and occasions slurs, and this may occur from the parchment being slack or the paper being thin and soft. To prevent this inconvenience it is customary to roll up a piece of paper, similar to bookbinders headbands, and paste it on the frisket ad¬ joining the part; this roll of paper takes a slight bearing on the furniture, and is a remedy. Many pressmen prefer pieces of cork cut to about the thickness of double pica, and pasted on the frisket. It is neither customary nor advisable to fly the frisket in the best work, and more particularly when large heavy paper is used; it is a convenience in such cases to have a button screwed on the off side of the frame of the tympan, to confine the frisket flat to the tympan; it keeps the paper in its place, assists it in rising from the face of the form, to which it ad¬ heres owing to the strength of the ink; it helps to prevent slurring, and the paper from slipping, which occasions waste when it happens : altogether the button is of consequence in preventing accidents in the .impression. In working the white paper, instead of pins stuck into the tympan, to prevent the paper slipping, a duck’s bill is frequently used: it is pasted to the tympan at the bottom of the tympan sheet, and the tongue projects in front of it, indeed the tympan sheet appears to rest in it. The bottom of 228 FINE PRESS^I'OKK. each sheet is placed behind this tongue, which supports it while turning down the tynipan. See Duck’s Bill. In proceeding with the work the balls should be well cleaned, that no dirt or extraneous matter may be on their surface. They should not be too moist, which would prevent the ink distributing equally on them, and would also prevent it lying equally on the surface of the types or engraving; nor should they be too dry, as in that ca.se they w ill not dispose of the ink so smoothly as to produce a tine impression ; neither will they retain particles of dirt on their surface, but part with them to the form, which will cause picks. The moisture ought to be just so much as to make the jielt or composition soft, when the ink w ill distribute kindly and equally, which will be perceived by their lugging ; they will also part with it to the form equally where they touch, so that the impression will be sharp and clear. The ink ought to be rubbed out thin and regular on the ink block, so that in taking ink it shall at the very first be diH'used tolerably smooth on the surface of the balls, which causes a greater jirobability of producing good impressions. It is likewise advisable to keep rubbing the ink out on the block with the braycr, as also to be almost constantly distributing the balls; the consequent friction produces a small degree of warmth, which is of advantage, particularly in cohl weather. .\s uniformity of colour is requisite for beauty in printing, I would recommeml that the pressman should take ink for every impression where the form is large ; this I am aware will be thought too troublesome, but I am decidedly of opinion that it is advantageous in producing regularity of colour: it is unjileasant to the eye to see in a splendid book two jiagcs that face each other, the one of a full black, rather surcharged with ink, the other rather deficient in (piantify and of a grey colour; yet this must happen w hen, as is frequently the case, three or four sheets are printed with one taking of ink. Beating for fine work should not by any means be slighted. The form ought to be gone over two or three times, not with heavy thumps, but slowly and regularly with a firm hand, just raising the balls each time completely clear of the types, and advancing but a little way, .so that in fact each jiart will be beat five or six times over, or more ; the face of the type will then be completely covered with ink : but the pressman should be careful not to beat too far over the edges of the pages, nor, if the margin be wide, to let the balls scrape against the edges of another page, as in both cases ink or extraneous matter will be scraped from the balls, and accumulate about the types at the extremities, and thus cause picks and rough lines. In splendid books, and particularly where the paper is large and heavy and the type large, set-off sheets are used to interleave the whole im¬ pression while working, and are continued in it till the printed paper is taken down from the poles, when they are removed by the ware¬ houseman. These set-off sheets are put 'in when the white paper is working, and moved from one heap to the other during the w orking of the reiteration. They prevent the ink from setting off from one sheet to another while they are newly printed, w Inch it would otherwise do from the w eight of the paper, and also from fine printing being usually worked of a full colour. For the uniformity of impression I would advise that the pull should bo adjusted in the first instance so as to cause a proper degree of pressure on the form to produce a good impressiou when the bar is pulled home, and then invariably to cheek the bar, and allow it to rest in that position FIRST FORM. 229 daring a short pause ; this is easily done in the Stanhope, the Ruthven, the Columbian, and Sherwin and Cope’s presses, as the increased power is obtained by a compound lever, which is generally so adjusted as that the lever shall come a small portion beyond the centre of the circle it partially describes when the bar is pulled home, and as it has then reached a point beyond its maximum power, it is easily retained in this position to rest on the pull: the same observation applies to all other presses having, what is usually termed, the increased power, which is the application of a com¬ pound lever to a press on the common construction; but in a one pull wooden press, instead of this application, which I must acknowledge I never knew to answer well when applied to these presses, I would recom¬ mend when fine work is doing a simple contrivance that I adopted in two presses, which answered the purpose uncomiuonly well, and enabled the pressmen to rest on the pull uniformly, without too much effort to keep the bar to the cheek, which with a heavy form and a large platen becomes very fatiguing to continue through a number of impressions, if not impos¬ sible, with the unaided exertion of the arm. See Catch of the Bar. It will thus be perceived, that to produce presswork of a highly superior character, great expense and much time are required; and that it is re¬ quisite to have a good press, and that press to be in good condition; to have new types, or types the faces of which are not rounded by wear; to have good balls, and those balls in good condition ; the ink should be strong, of a full black colour, the oil well boiled, to prevent it separating from the colouring matter and tinging the paper, and it should be ground so fine as to be impalpable ; the paper should be of the best quality, made of linen rags, and not bleached by means of an acid which has a tendency to decompose the ink ; the beating should be carefully and well done, not in a hurried manner, the face of the type should be completely covered with ink, without any superfluity, so as to produce a full colour; and the pull should be so regulated as to have a slow and great pressure, and to pause at its maximum in order to fix the ink firmly upon the paper; these particulars observed, with paper only in the tympans, perfect impressions of the face of the type only will be obtained in the most superior manner, and a splendid book will thus be produced in the best style of printing. FIRE EATER. Compositors who are expeditious workmen are styled Fire Eaters, and also Swifts. FIRST. The pressman who has wrought the longest at that press, except an apprentice, for he must allow any journeyman, though new come, that style, is distinguished by the name of First, the other his Second, these call one another companions : generally the master printer reposes the greatest trust upon the care and curiosity for good work of the First; although both are equally liable to perform it. All the privilege that the First has above the Second is, that the First takes his choice to pull or beat the agreed stint first: and that the Second knocks up the balls, washes the forms, teazes wool, and does the other more servile work, while the First is employed about making register, order¬ ing the tympan, frisket, and points, &c., or otherwise making ready the form, &c.— M. At the present day there is no such distinction"; both the pressmen are equal, are equally responsible for the work, and take all the respective parts without any distinction ; unless one of them be an acknowledged superior workman, and then he will, as a matter of course, take the lead in making ready, but in nothing else. FIRST FORM. The form the white paper is printed on, which 230 FLOWERS. generally by rule ought to have the first page of the sheet in it- M. This is the reverse of the present custom, which is invariably to lay on the inner form first, viz. the one that has the second page in it; except it is directed to the contrary, for some particular reason. See Lav on. FIRST PAGE. First j)age of the sheet, which is always placed to the left hand in the first or outer form on the stone, when imposing.— M. In Hebrew works it is placed to the right hand, as in books printed in that language the order of the pages is reversed. FIRST PROOF. The first impression of any matter after it is composeil, for the purpose of comparing it with the copy ; it is usually printed on a cheap hard sized paper, that will bear writing ink well, to mark the literal errors, and any variations from the copy that may have occurred, in order to their correction in the metal. FIRST PULL. In a two j)ull press of the common construction, the j)laten oidy covers half a full form, and to obtain an imj)ression of the whole, the carriage is run in at twice ; the first pull prints one half, and tlie second pull llie other half. FLARING BALLS. When pelt balls are too soft, from having imbibed too much moisture, and are wanted for immediate use, they are dared ; that is, the pressman will take a sheet of waste paper, and having rolled it up slightly, will light it, ami hohling the face of one of the balls downwards, will j)ass it backwards and forwards over the llanie, and then treat the other ball in a similar manner: this not only evaporates the moisture, but also communicates a small degree of warmth to the balls, which causes them both to take ink and to tlistri- butc it better than before the operation. Contj)osilion balls are liable to crack, both in distributing, and also when separating them after they have been left in the raek upon each other, particularly when they are new and soft; to remedy this, they are dared, which, when it is judiciously done, melts the surface of the com])osition and fills up the cracks. They are also dared when the face begins to fail, which melts the composition, and forms a new and smooth surface. FLARING A FORM. In working by candle light, when imposing, correcting, or laying a form on the press, it sometimes happens that melted tallow will be sj)ilt on the pages and choke up the letter. To get rid of this tallow, and clean the form again, the compositor lights a piece of j)aper and puts it on the grease, to melt it; he then brushes it with the letter brush, and, if necessarj', repeats the operation. FLOWERS. Types with ornaments cast on their face instead of letters. They are used for borders round jobs, cards, pages, and wrappers of books ; and for other embellishments. Luckombe, in his work on printing, gave many specimens of borders, head pieces, &C. composed of dowers by Mr. Hazard, of Bath ; and lately, Mr, Johnson and IMr. Nichols have produced some large and elaborate pieces with this material, b)' combining an immense number of pieces of different patterns and sizes, to represent pillars and arches ; but after all the ingenuity they have displayed, and the patience they have exerted, their productions are inferior to the eft’ect of an engraving; and only tend to prove, in my opinion, that ingenuity and patience are misapplied. Flowers are cast on bodies from a Pearl up to a Four Line Pica, and of a great variety of patterns. Of late years our letter founders havej greatly improved their specimens by the addition of many new designs. The practice formerly was to cut the pattern perfect on each piece, FOLLOW. 231 and many patterns had a line at the foot of each, so that when a border was formed, there was a continual line round the inside. I pointed out to the late Mr. Catherwood, of the firm of Caslon and Catherwood, the inconvenience of both these modes of cutting flowers: in the first case, when the pattern had a solid ground, the flowers joined in that solid part, and, after being used a few times, the angle became rounded, and always showed a separation between each piece; I recommended that the junction should be in the most open part of the design, so that a little rounding of the angle would not be so perceptible: and in the second case, the same cause produced the same, effect; for after being used a few times, the angles became rounded, and instead of a continued line, it became a series of short lines, separated from each other by in¬ tervals : to remedy this, I suggested to him to discard the line, and that a piece of brass rule should be substituted by the printer, which, being in one piece, would form a continued line, and not be liable to injury from the same cause. He adopted both these plans, and the junction of the flowers that have been subsequently cut has been much improved ; but the abolishing of the line has not produced the neat effect I anticipated, for it rarely happens that the printer will take the trouble of placing a rule within the flowers; in consequence, many of the designs present, when printed, a meagre and unfinished appearance. FLY. See Devil.— ilf. A boy who takes the printed sheets oflf the tympan as soon as the pressman turns it up, for the sake of despatch : it was most frequently done with newspapers, as they are always pressed for time, and are obliged to work with the greatest expedition. These boys are not now called devils, as in the time of Moxon, but FlieSy or Fly Boys. FLYING FRISKET. In working at press, the act of turning down the frisket and the tympan upon the form by the same motion, for despatch; it is always done in the regular way of working, but not in very superior work where the paper is heavy. FOLDING. In the warehouse. As the person who collates the books turns them, the gatherings lie ready to be folded, and as they are pushed a little over each other they are readily taken up separately; they are knocked up at the ends and sides, and evenly folded in the back, which is rubbed down with a folder; after this,, from a dozen to twenty-five gatherings in thickness are knocked up together and put into the press, which is thus filled and screwed down. After lying a sufficient time in the press, they are taken out and are ready for booking. Books are never folded across a page ; of course some require to be folded the shortest way of the paper, and some the longest way. FOLIO. The running number of the pages of a work. When there is no running title, the folios are placed in the middle of the head-line, in Arabic figures, sometimes enclosed in brackets, sometimes in paren¬ theses, but more frequently now without either ; when there is a running title, the folios are placed at the outside corners of the pages. The prefatory matter has the folios generally set- in Roman lower case numerals, and sometimes the folios of an appendix are done in a similar manner. A sheet of paper folded in two leaves, is also termed folio; as folio post, folio deray, &c.; but when the size of a book is spoken of, it is styled a post folio, demy folio, &c. FOLLOW. See if it follows, is a term used as well by the corrector, as by the compositor and pressman. It is used by the corrector and 232 FORGERY. compositor when they examine how the beginning matter of a succeetl- ing page agrees with the ending matter of a precedent page: and how the folios of those pages properly and numerically follow and succeed one another, lest the pages should be transposed. But the pressman only examines that the folio and beginning word of the second page, and signature of the first and third page (when the reiteration is on the press) follow the folio and direction of the first page, and the signature of the third page follows the signature of the first page, orderly according to the volume, lest the fonu should be laid wrong on the press_ M.

Every one who makes the trial will find that, without a notation, his attempts to compare the composition of different minerals will be confused and fruitless, and that, by employing symbols, his reasonings may easily be made brief, clear, and systematic.” After criticising the foreign notation as being grossly anomalous and defective, he adds the following list, which he hopes he has shown to be mathematically consistent and chemically useful.

A may be supposed to represent a glass vessel of convenient form. B a gas glass stopped at the lower end p, by a piece of plaster of Paris, to the depth of three quarters of an inch, z a plate of zinc, and c a similar piece of copper, a coin or any other metallic substance to be acted upon; and these two are connected by a copper wire, w. The inner vessel mav be kept in its place by a cork, or any other means that may happen to be more convenient. A solution of sulphate of soda is poured into the gas glass, and the wire connecting the zinc and copper plates GALVANISM. 255 being bent, as shown in the figure, the zinc plate is immersed into the solution of sulphate of soda, and the copper plate into the solution of sulphate of copper. In a few hours Mr. Spencer, in his experiments, found that the portion of the copper rendered bare by the scratches was coated with the pure bright de¬ posited metal, while those portions which were still covered with cement were not acted on. It now be¬ came an important inquiry whether the deposition would retain its hold on the plate, and whether it would be of sufficient solidity to bear working from ; that is, supposing an etching or engraving to be made, and the lines to be afterwards tilled up with copper by the voltaic process, whether such lines could be printed from. In order to answer this last question, Mr. Spencer coated with cement a piece of copper, and with a steel point endeavoured to draw lines in the form of network, so as to penetrate the cement and expose the copper. After this plate had been exposed to voltaic action, and then heated, so as to get off the covering of cement, the copper net-work came off with it. This happened many times; but by an accident it occurred to the experimenter to employ nitric acid to the plate, after it had been cemented and engraved on as before. It was then subjected to the voltaic process for forty-eight hours, when the lines were found to be entirely filled with copper. On applying heat, and then turpentine to get off the cement, it was found that the voltaic copper had completely combined M’ith the plate on which it was deposited. A plate was then coated with cement, and lines worked upon it by an engraver; but these lines were of a wedge-shaped form, leaving only a hair line of the copper exposed at the bottom, and a broad space near the surface ; and where the turn of the letters took place, the top edges of the lines were galled and rendered rugged by the action of the graver. All this was objectionable; but another plate, similarly prepared, and engraved on with a sharp point, had the copper deposited on the lines; and this was printed from successfully. This was an attempt to deposit lines upon a plate of copper by the galvanic action, and thus form an engraving in relief, which I have doubts of being successfully practised with finished subjects. The application of heat separates the two metals, in consequence of their different expansibility when subjected to its influence. Mr. Spencer gives the form of another appai’atus on a more extended scale, which he recommends, as it may be employed in large works, s 256 GALVANISM A is an eartlienware vessel to receive the copper plate and the solution of sulphate of copper, in w hich it is to be exposed, b is another vessel of earthenware or wood, of such a size that it may tit into the outer one, as shown in the drawing; the bottom of this vessel being formed of plaster of Paris, or some other porous substance, which while it retains the solution of common salt may ])ermit the voltaic action to go on without impediment, c is the copper plate to be acted on by the electricity upon which copper is to be deposited, z is the zinc plate, and the two are united by the w ire w', which may either be done in the manner ex¬ hibited in the second engraving, or by the use of a binding screw s. I have been anxious to give specimens of this discovery in its appli¬ cation to letterpress printing, w ith some account of the process by which copies are obtained from engravings on wood. I am gratified in being enabled to do this, and to give two subjects, by difi'erent processes in ]>roducing the matrices or moulds. No. 1. is an impression from an engraving on wood by the late Mr. Branston, which I give for the j)urpose of com|)aring the copy with the original, rroni this engraving Mr. Murray, liaving metallized the sur¬ face with plumbago, according to his methoil, to induce a deposition of the copper upon it, obtained a copj)er mould l)y galvanic action ; from this mould No. 2. was j)roduced by the same process, and is an impres¬ sion from the electrotype copy of No. 1. 1^0. 3. is an impression from an engraving on wood, from w hich a matrix was [)repar««l in tyjJe metal l>y tlie process called jKih/ti/i>e; this matrix was Hubmitted to the galvanic action by Mr. Murray, and the tleposition of copper producetl the electrotype copy from which the impi'ession No. I. is ])rintcil. No. is a polytype copy in type metal from the same matrix its No. 1. These impressions are placetl in juxta|)usition, for tlu' |)uri)ose of giving an opportunity of comparing them, and forming a trm- estimate of their respective merits. riierc have been many attempts in London to obtain an elcctrotyjtc copy of a page of types, but hitherto, I Irclieve, without success; the. ditliculty arising from the deposition of copper getting under the project¬ ing parts of the kerned letters, and also penetrating into the interstices l)etw een the letters and the words and thus preventing the mould from being disengaged from the types, without using force and destroying a groat number of letters. Tlie follow ing. No. 6., is an imperfect specimen of a page of diamond types, by Mr. Robert Branston, an engraver of emi¬ nence in wood, and Mr. Warren De la Rue. Tliere .are many difficulties yet to be overcome in the process of obtaining electrotype copies of types; but it will show wliat has already been accomplished, and I have not the least doubt that the combined skill and perseverance of Mr. Branston and Mr. De la Rue will in a short time overcome those diffi¬ culties, and produce perfect copies with ease and certainty. The methoil adopted to procure this w as as follows: — A mould in pl.aster of Paris was first obtained, and a stereotype plate was cast in it; high spaces and quadrats were used, to prevent as much as possible the inconvenience before spoken of; a mould was then obtained from the stereotype plate by the poly type process, in type metal, and from that mould, by the galvanic action, the electrotype copy from which the specimen No. 6. was printed. In the first instance, the plan recommended by Mr. Spencer in the Athen^um of the 4th of July, 1840, of preparing the surface of the mould with silver, was adopted, but the sulphuric acid acted on the plaster of Paris of w hich it w .as formed, and rendered it useless. GALVANISM. 257 Since the preceding was written and in print, I have been informed that Mr. Spencer has been more successful than the London experi¬ menters, for, in a letter to me, dated Glasgow, September 17th, 1840, he says, “ Had I been at home I should have sent you a copy of the first pamphlet, where you would have seen an octavo page of stereotyping by the Voltaic process.” In the present early state of electrotyping we find that, as it is formed by the solution in water of a salt composed of sulphuric acid and copper, it is of course thinner and the copper more attenuated than type metal is when in a state of fusion ; it will necessarily penetrate into all the delicately engraved parts of a subject more completely than melted metal, and must therefore produce a more perfect facsimile than a casting; I believe this is undeniable, for copies of copper plate en¬ gravings of great fineness have been produced in the highest state of perfection as facsimiles. Another point is, that copper is tougher than type metal, and not so liable to have the letters break off and fail in the process of printing, and of consequence will be more durable. But it appears to me that one of its most valuable applications will be to the printing of Bibles, for by obtaining copper matrices of the pages by this process new editions may be multiplied to any extent, and when the plates are much worn they may be renewed at any future time, without incurring the expense of recomposing the book; which is not the case with stereotype plates. But the applicability of the discovery is as yet in its infancy, as these specimens are, I believe, the first that have been published of impressions of letterpress electrotype plates, and the inge¬ nuity of man is at work to extend and improve the discovery. In giving the foregoing account of experiments that have been made on this discovery of the application of galvanism to the production of copies of the works of art, and more particularly with respect to engrav¬ ings on wood, as connected with letterpress printing, to which this work is confined, it is evident that the persons making these experiments are not availing themselves of the information which may easily be pro¬ cured, that is, of ascertaining what are the requisites to enable a printer to make use of these copies in the regular way of business; excepting this be done, the discovery will not be available for general purposes, and will be viewed only as a curiosity : one point, to which I would particularly draw their attention, is the difficulty experienced in separat¬ ing the matrix from the original, and again of separating the copy from the matrix; in both these cases they have the deposition of copper too thin, and in the act of separation both the matrix and the copy are twisted and distorted; they are then filled in at the back with some soft metal, which is planed in a rough manner, and delivered in this condition, unfit for the press, at which it is almost impossible to obtain a good impression. I would suggest that the deposition of copper should be continued for a longer time, so as to have the metal thicker, both in the matrix and the copy ; if any irregularity in the surface then take place in the act of separation, it ought to be reduced before it is filled in with metal at the back; when that is done it should be turned in a lathe, as stereotype plates now are ; it would thus be of an equal thickness throughout without any unevenness on the surface or back, and when mounted type-high might be printed without more trouble than wood cuts or stereotype plates are; thus enabling the printer to produce im¬ pressions without difficulty that would show the merits of the discovery in a fair manner, which at present cannot be done without great trouble and loss of time. s 258 GALVANISM S I A^o.

The Hebrew nation, when vlewetfln cbritrast'with the rest of the ancient world, presents a spectaele not less rehiarkable for the pure simplicity of its theology, thon for the 'aiagularUy of Us political constitution. iTbe familiarity with ihelr history, which we acquire in 'early infancy, weakens the force of thel impression which tlte annals and civil government of the Heorews must infallibly excite in a philosophical mind, if the account of them were conveyed to us at a period of maturcr Judgment, and viewed in sober comparison, with the other records of antiquity.v From the midst of, darkness, error, and dispute : from a scene of licentious i.'orship and degrading* superstitions, we turn to ati^ unhesifating faiui, and a sublime devotion : all around Is a desert, a wlldemeEs and gloom 1 from the centre of which, the Hebrew polity rises before us, set up like h' pillar to record the creation of the^world, and.the God who demands the homage of his creatures. _ . > This, in fact, was the declared intention.of'thdt po'.'.ty.- It' is founded expressly on the princlpler'that, In the beginning of the system to which thq^uman race be¬ longs, the world was created by one independent Being ; ,who had selected' the Hebrews to commemorate the 'original of the universe, and to perpetuate the importanl; truth, that its Author, seen only by his works, is to bo ,worshipped without matsiial or visible representation, .as the CrcAtor.and Governor of the world. .

GARTER. In wooden presses, two flat pieces of iron with a semicircle cut in one end of each, and a projecting part at the other ends ; in the projecting parts there is a hole at each end, those in the front piece for a screw to go through, and those in the back piece are tapped to receive a screw. The hose has a horizontal mortise through it, exactly at the groove in the spindle ; this mortise is to receive the garter, which, when driven close up from back and front, clasps the spindle in the groove by means of its senucircular ends, which are made to tit into this groove; and the two parts are kept firmly togetlier by the screws that pass through the projecting ends on two sides of the hose. Its use is to lift up the platen on the return of the bar, to admit the carriage to be run in and out. GATHER ROOKS. Gathering of books is to take one sheet off every heap, beginning at the last sheet first, viz. at tlie left hand end of the range. — M. We now reverse tlie heaps, and place the first sig¬ nature where they used to place the last; they then gatliered, placing "each sheet upon the other: we now gather under each sheet, which is a much quicker way. See Ci.^tiiering. Gather Corrections. See Corrections. GATHERING. In making the printed sheets of a work up into coj)ies in the warehouse for tlelivery, a number of them in orderly suc¬ cession are folded together, which is calletl a gathering; a volume may be complete in one gathering, or it may consist of two, three, four, or more. When there are more than one gathering in a volume, the warehouse¬ man endeavours to have the number of sheets in caeli nearly equal; and he very rarely puts less than ton, or more than fifteen, in one gatliering. He lays down ujmn the gathering fable a heap of each .signature, com¬ mencing with R, or whatever signature tlie body of the work may Ix'gin with, following each other in regular order, according to the letters of the alphalM't, and as many as he intends to include in the first gathering, with the first page of each to the front of the table. If it be a long number, he seldom lays down more than a bundle of each signature at once, that the top sheets may not be higher than the boys can con¬ veniently reach. riie first signature is placed at the extreme end of the table to the left hand, that if there be any space more than is actually uanted upon the table, it may be at the end where the gathering concludes, to allow the boys to knock up the sheets without crowding each other. In commencing gathering it is necessary that the boys should have clean hands, otherwise they will dirty many sheets with the end of the right thumb. A boy wets the end of his right thumb with the tip of his tongue, and pushes up with it the right hand corner of the first sheet, the fingers of liis left hand being laid upon the sheet to prevent its slipping away, and he catches it up with the thumb of his left hand underneath it, and draws it upon the next heap ; he does the same by this, and so continues drawing the accumulating sheets in his left hand over the successive heaps, and taking one from each, till he gets to the end; he then knocks this gathering up even at the ends and sides, and lays it down at the end of the table, which being what is styled a horse-shoe table, he has only to turn himself round, when he is again facing the first signature, to recom¬ mence the operation, always knocking up his gathering, and laying it evenly upon the other, till it accumulates to a pile. In the regular routine of business, where despatch is necessary, three GAUGE. 263 or four boys are generally put to one gathering table, who follow each other regularly, knocking up their gatherings, and piling them up on the end of the table. Among them there is frequently an inexperienced boy ; to prevent delay, this boy is ordered to lay his gathering down at the end, and the next boy knocks it up with his own : if the boy has quick¬ ness and spirit, he exerts himself to become expert, and to equal the others. If the collation of the book is going on at the same time, it prevents the pile of gatherings from accumulating too much ; if it be not, the pile must be removed occasionally, to prevent it getting too high for the boys to deposit their gatherings. They thus proceed till one, or more, of the heaps is exhausted, when the remnant of the others is folded in the middle, each signature by itself, and tied up in a bundle, enclosed in wrappers; but if the book be collat¬ ing, the drawn sheets are previously laid down, which enables them generally to gather off a few more copies. In the course of gathering, if a boy perceives that the sheets in any of the heaps are turned the wrong way, he should immediately announce it, that they may be placed right; he should be likewise very particular to take one sheet from each heap, as also to avoid taking two : any of these errors causes a great deal of extra trouble in collating, and of course a consequent loss of time, in addition to making the work unpleasant. After the gatherings are collated, they are knocked up carefully at the ends and sides, and folded evenly in the middle ; folios, quartos, and octavos, in the regular fold of the paper, and twelves the long way in the back ; for a gathering is never folded in a page, neither lengthways nor crossways. They are then put into a press, a moderate quantity being placed between each two boards, and the press wrung well down ; after having lain in the press a sufficient time, they are taken out, and piled away till the work is completed, and they ai’e wanted for Booking. If copies of a Avork are required to be delivered as soon as the last sheet is put to press, which at the present day is commonly the case, the warehouseman should be prepared to meet the wishes of his employer’s customers, by having the book gathered close up to the last gathering ; having them all pressed and booked ; and as fast as the last sheet is worked off, keep hanging it up very thin in the most favourable part of his poling for drying, and even dry a few by the fire to commence with. He will thus have the last gathering only to put together, and in some cases he may have part of that done ; so that if he put his boys to gather, himself to collate, another to fold the gatherings and put them into the press, he may in less than two hours, in a case of emergency, deliver fifty or a hundred copies of a Avork without difficulty, and obtain credit to the house and to himself for despatch and attention, both of which cannot but be gratifying to him. See Booking. Collating. Lay Down. GATHERING TABLE. A table in the warehouse on which the printed sheets are arranged in the order of their signatures, in order to their being gathered into books. It is usually a horse-shoe table, and the boys gather on the inside, so that when they have completed one gather¬ ing they have only to turn round and commence again. Where there is space enough in the warehouse it ought to be sufficiently large to hold at least fifteen sheets, with room at the end for the heap and for the knocking up of each gathering. GAUGE. A Gauge, to regulate the margin, is used both by com¬ positors and pressmen, in their respectiA^e departments. When a compositor commences a work, or joins a companionship, it is CiEO.METRlCAL CHARACTERS. 2(j4 necessary that he cut a gauge to tlie length of a regular page of his work; to do this he should take a page without any chapter head lines, of the regular number of lines, and cut his gauge to the exact length, including the head and the direction line ; a piece of great primer reglet is a convenient thickness, and marking the name of the work on it may prevent errors. Many compositors mark the length of the page upon a piece of furniture, and make it answer for two, tliree, or four works; but 1 have known mistakes occur in making-up, from adopting this method, that have caused a great deal of trouble in remaking up the succeeding pages. In works that are printed with large letter, and have many head lines in the pages, and much white between the lines, I would advise a gauge to be cut on which the situation of each line should be marked ; this will enable the compositor to make up his pages, so that, when the sheet is worked otf, line shall fall upon line, which will add a beauty to his work, and save a great deal of trouble, by rendering unnecessary any alteration of the whites. After the first sheet of a work has been imposed, and the margin made right by the person who has the superintendence of this department, a gauge should be cut to the exact width of the back, and another to that of the head ; a piece of thin reglet being used for each, marked M ith the name of the work, and with the words, “ back,” and “ head a hole may be made in each piece tliat they may be tied together, so as to hang them upon a nail driven into some part of the frame ; and a fresh sheet shewdd never be imposed without trying tlie margin before it is locked-up. I am aware this is being more particular than is the general custom ; but, if a compositor adopt the method, he will find that it will not Uike more than a minute of additional time, and will eventually be a saving by pre¬ venting mistakes, and he will thus send each sheet to press in a workman¬ like manner. The pressmen recpiire a gauge in all folio works, in order to keep the head lines of the pages of eaeli sheet precisely at the .same distance* from the e>dge of the paper. This head margin is determincel by the overseer, or master printer, when the first sheet goes to press; the pressman should then cut his gauge, mark it with the name of the work, and keep it in some secure place, to lay the succeeding sheets on l)y, so that the work may have a unifonn head margin, which, as the bookbinder always makes the head lines range, will prevent the book being reduced in size by cutting, an object of serious consideration in a library.

Hence we eonclutle, that the Teutons, who anciently inhabited the neighbouring coast, and islands of the Baltic Sea, had no letters, till their descendants, who settled in Belgic Gaul, obtained them from the Romans. The Teutonic alphabet is evidently deduced from the Roman, and is nothing more than the Roman varied by the Germans, which, having been much deformed, was improved by Charle- magne in the ninth century, and continued till the twelfth, when this kind of writing was succeeded by the modern Gothic, which prevails in Germany, and in several of the northern countries of Europe at this time.” — Astle. Iti addition to the characters of the preceding alphabet, the Germans make use of three, which are vowels : 3fc> ii or a, expressed by the Roman character ii, and having the sound of e in where, ^c, 6 or 6, and in the Roman character 6, which has the sound of eu in the French heure. Ue, ii, or u, having its representative in the Roman ii, and its expression in the thin u of the I'rench in vertu. The Germans also make use of the following double letters in print- ing : ct) ch ffi tli p si (I st cf ck fl H II ss fi sz ff tf U 11 in ssi U tz ft ti ‘^In the printed alphabet some letters are apt to be mistaken and con¬ founded one with another.

Hansard, in his patent for the improvement of presses, &c., enumerates ‘^Girths,” of which he says, — “The girths I form of lines made of any close-formed strong material or substance, but round or narrow, and I particularly prefer cat-gut of about one inch in circum¬ ference. Such lines I arrange in pairs, one pair to run the table in, the other pair to run it out; applying them to the wheel after the manner of leather or web girths ; except that such lines I place with a small degree of obliquity from either end of the table to the wheel, so that in winding round no one coil shall touch or interfere with the other, but take a spiral direction, one pair giving place by being wound off the wheel as the table is run in or out, to the other pair, which by being then wound round the wheel, causes the table to traverse in the given direction. By these means the rounce or handle will be, in every position or turn of the wheel, equally tight, and no friction or adhesion of the lines can ever take place.” Girth Wheel, or Drum. See Wheel.

When the warehouseman delivers paper to the pressmen, or to the person appointed to wet it, for printing on, it is said, he has given out paper for sueh a job, or such a sheet of a work. Paper, for printing on, is received in three different waj’s from the stationer. The first and most general way is what is termed Perfect Paper ; that is, each ream consists of twenty-one quires and a half, making .516 sheets, which enables tlie printer to deliver full count, and allows for spoiling sheets, which unavoidably happens in wetting, in printing-off, and in the warehouse department. The second is Imperfect Paper ; that is, each ream consists of twenty good quires, (termed inside (juires,) making 480 sheets; but it is given out to wet for bookwork as perfect paper. The third is News Paper, which consists of twenty (]uires of twenty- five sheets each to the ream, niaking 500 sheets. News[)aper stamps are always received, given out to wet, and delivered, by the net number, and require great care on the part of the warehouse¬ man and pressmen to j)revent waste, as tlie master printer is responsible for the deficiency. Paper with outside (piires is very rarely sent in to the printer; when it does happen, the warehouseman should look over the outside quire.s, take out the torn and damaged sheets, and give out os perfect paper: but« ])crhaps, the best way is to put aside these quires, and return them to the employer, as ever)- sheet is more or less damaged. The following Tables will be found useful, as they will enable the warehouseman to give out pu[)er with facility and correctness for bo(»k- work, and for jobs, where the numbers are irregular and the sizes vary ; and more particularly so, as they include both perfect and imperfect paper. Those for bookwork are arranged for the regular quantity of perfect paper, commencing with so low a number as 12, and proceeding up to 10 , 000 . Those for jobs include the same numbers, and are so arranged as to specify the quantity of paper to a sheet for each number, as I did not think it necessary to calculate them to the fractional part of a sheet: thus some of them are e.xact, and others have a surplus, which in some instances is large where there are many on a sheet; but as jobs arc gene¬ rally delivered without any surplus, I have thought it best to give the quantity of paper that will make the nearest specific number, so that it shall not be less, and leave the surplus to the discretion of the warehouse¬ man, or to the custom of the house. Where the numbers are small in bookwork, the quantity of paper given out is greater in proportion than when the numbers are larger; of course a ream will not hold out in printing five sheets of one hundred copies each, and still less in smaller numbers; for each sheet at press will require a tympan sheet; and it is more than probable that one or two more will be spoiled in making ready; and in the warehouse department a file copy must always bo preserved. I notice this to remind the warehouse¬ man to iiiake a proper allowance in his paper account, otherwise it will appear deficient, when in reality it is not.

Forfeitures and other chapel dues are collected for the good of the chapel, viz. to be spent as the chapel approves. — M. GOOD WORK, is called so in a twofold sense: the master printer calls it good work when the compositors and pressmen have done their duty; and the workmen call it good work, if it be light easy work, and they have a good price for it.— M. GOTHIC, ANCIENT. The Scythian or Gothic tribes, descended from Magog, were the second source of European population. They entered into Europe from Asia, like the Kelts, about 680 years B. C. In the time of Herodotus they were on the Danube, and extended towards the south. In Caesar’s time they were called Germans ; and had established themselves so far to the westward as to have obliged the Kelts to withdraw from the eastern banks of the Rhine. They became known to us in later ages by the name of Goths. From this Scythian or Gothic stock sprung the Saxons, who occupied the north-west part of Germany. We may here observe, the terms Kim- merians and Scythian are not to be considered merely as local, but as generic appellations ; each of their tribes having a peculiar denomination. As a distinctive denomination, they prefixed to Goths the name of the country they inhabited or subdued; as, the Moeso-Gothi, Scando-Gotlii, Norreno-Gothi, &c. Their chief seat is reported to have been in Goth¬ land, now a part of the Swedish dominions. The Mceso-Goths, as their name imports, were those Goths that inhabited Mcesia, on the frontiers of Thrace. The language of these Goths is not only called Mceso- Gothic, but Ulphilo-Gothic, from Ulphilas, the first bishop of the Moeso- Goths. He lived about A.D. 370. and is said to have invented the Gothic alphabet, and to have translated the whole Bible from Greek into Gothic. These Gothic characters were in use in the greater part of Europe after the destruction of the western empire. The French first adopted the Latin characters. The Spaniards, by a decree of a synod at Lyons, abolished the use of Gothic letters A.D. 1091.— Bosworth. The ancient Goths were converted to Christianity by the Greek priests, and they probably introduced their letters with their religion, about the reign of Galienus. Towards the middle of the third century, Ascholius, Bishop of Thessalonica, and a Greek priest named Audius, spread Chris¬ tianity among the Goths ; the former of these is much extolled by Basil the Great, and the latter by Epiphanius. The ancient Gothic alphabet consisted of sixteen letters ; they are so similar to the Greek, that their derivation cannot be doubted. Those writers are certainly mistaken, who attribute the invention of the Gothic letters to Ulphilas, Bishop of Mcesia, who lived in the fourth century. The gospels translated by him into the Gothic language, and written in ancient Gothic characters about the year 370, were formerly kept in the library of the monastery of Werden ; but this MS. is now preserved in the library of Upsal, and is known among the learned, by the title of the Silver Book of Ulphilas, because it is bound in massy silver. Several editions of this MS. have been printed. See a specimen of it in Hickes’s Thesaurus, vol. i. pref. p. 8. Dr. Hickes positively dis¬ allows this translation to be Ulphil’s, but says it w'as made by some Teuton or German, either as old, or perhaps older than Ulphil; but 296 GREAT PRIMER. whether this was so ui not, the characters are apparently of Greek ori¬ ginal. — Astle.

Six proper — ai, av, ei, ev, oi, ov ; and Six improper — tf, rj, u, r)v, vi, wv. The dot below signifies that i is subscribed. Accents. — Accents are nothing more than small marks, Avhich have been introduced into the language, to ascertain the pronunciation of it, and facilitate it to strangers. Wlierefore the ancient Greeks, to whom it was natural, never used them, as is demonstrated from Aristotle, old inscriptions, and ancient medals. It is not an easy matter to tell, what time the practice of writing these accents first prevailed, though it is pro¬ bable not till after the Romans began to be more curious of learning the Greek tongue, and to send their children to study at Athens, that is, about or a little before the time of Cicero. Accents, by the Greeks called rdvot, tones, are the rising or falling of the voice in pronouncing: which may be considered either separately in distinct syllables, or conjunctively in the same syllable. Wherefore there are two sorts of accents; two simple, viz. the acute, figured thus ('), which denotes the elevation of the voice; and the grave, /3api)c, shaped thus ('), to signify the falling or depression of the voice; and the circumflex, TrepimrbjfMeroc, which was formed first of these two lines or points joined together thus ( '), and afterwards was changed into a round sort of a figure like an inverted Upsilon, thus (a), but at length came to be figured like an s drawn crossway (').— Bell's Greek G rammar. The acute accent raises the voice, and affects one or more of the three last syllables of a word, if it has so many. The circumflex lengthens tlie sound, and affects either the last syllable of a word, or the last but one. The grave depresses the voice, and affects the last syllable only. There are two spirits, or breathings: the asper ('), which the Greeks use instead of the letter II; and the lenis (') which denotes the absence of the asper. The apostrophe (’), marked at the head of a letter in the end of a word denotes that the vowels n, r, (, or o, and sometimes the dijjhthongs ai or 01 arc cut off, the next word beginning with a vowel.

Points _A colon in Greek is a point at the head of a letter; as (•) An interrogation is a Latin semicolon; as (;) All other points in Greek are the same as in Latin. The Greeks express their Numbers by Letters, thus: 10 20 30 40 .50 60 70 80 90 9 , X OJ 100 200 300 400 .500 600 700 800 900 1000 2000 3000 4000 .5000 10,000 20,000 100,000 200,000 The first of the above ranks is units, and consists of the eight first GREEK. 299 ^ letters with the character r, called eirtarffioy, which signifies 6, and is therefore ranged in the sixth plaee. The second rank consists of tens, and is formed of the eight following letters with this charaeter y, Koinra, which signifies 90. The third rank consists of hundreds, and contains eight letters with this charaeter aavwi, which signifies 900. The accent under each letter in the fourth rank signifies a thousand, and the letter itself expresses the number of thousands signified. The letters of the three first ranks are marked with a dash on the top to distinguish them from the letters marked with an accent below. By compounding the above letters any number may be expressed; thus, I a! makes 11; k'/ 3', 22; X'y', 33; g'i', 104; at, 1005; 1776, &c. Also the Greeks sometimes use these capitals instead of the numbers, of which they are the initial letters, viz. 1. for one, because lA signifies one (being formerly used instead of /x'ta,) II for five, A for ten, H for a hundred, X for a thousand, and M for ten thousand. And these letters may be all four times reduplicated (except 11), thus II, 2; III, 3 ; IIII, 4 ; AA, 20; AAA, 30; AAAA, 40, &c. So A-I, 11; AAIl, 22; HI, 6; An, 15, &c. Sometimes the above initials are enclosed in a great ]~[, and then the number is five times repeated, thus [a"! is five times ten or 50; and jx] is 5000: but I is never enclosed. Fournier, in his Manuel Typographique, gives a great number of Greek ligatures: these I have copied, with additional ones from Fertel, and others from Jones’s Greek Grammar; together they make a more complete list than any that I have met with. Fournier, speaking of the article Greek, says. We see by the multiplicity of the sorts, that the Greek character is the most extensive and complicated of all cha¬ racters. The founders may not always be able to give the Greek founts thus complete in sorts; but I give the representation, because, as I have before said, the engravers who have worked upon the characters have followed the ligatures which they found in the manuscripts which they imitated. There were never any but the Greek characters engraved by Garamond for Francis the First, which have been complete in all sorts of ligatures. It is this which has obliged me to give in different lines the figures which compose this fount, in which there are still some wanting, which I have been obliged to suppress in order not to multiply them without necessity. For the classical works in Greek the ligatures or double letters are considerably diminished. I have adopted this usage in the little fount, which contains but the figures most in use. — Fournier. I have been induced to give this extended list of Greek ligatures, be¬ cause the present taste in printing Greek is to discard them entirely, and to use a distinct character for each letter of the alphabet. Under these circumstances, should an old edition of a Greek work be put in hand as copy to be reprinted, it would be mortifying not to be able to de¬ cypher the ligatures, nor have any thing to refer to for explanation. I have myself been placed in this situation in a large house, with no person in it who could give me the necessary information, although there were some there that professed themselves good Greek scholars ; neither could the editor of the work himself give me any assistance. 300 GREEK. ot ao «< y ui «x «xx JiWv aM oLv ^TD fiit’ro op ap ap cp up ag ui a% «'J tto «ti aVr«^ «urou CKJ ao » T > - CUTlt awTco auTOO dtTff tuJ?> auToj ^0- yu.

GROOVES. There is always a groove on the upper surface of the short cross of a chase, at each end, six or seven inches long. Their use is to receive the spur, when working with points, and to allow it to make a hole in the paper, without injury to itself. The grooves in wrought iron chases are of a good form, being cut with a tool tapering to the bottom like a wedge, which enables the spur to make a clean hole in the paper ; those in cast iron chases are generally flat at the bottom and too wide, which causes the holes to gull. See Gull. Guide Cramps. See Cramp Irons. GULL. When the points tear the point holes at press, they say, they are Gulled, or the Holes Gull. This may arise from two or three causes — if the point of the spur be turned again, it will cause it — in cast iron chases the groove to receive the spur is generally too wide, this may also cause it—and if the spur does not fall fairly into the groove, this maybe another cause: the remedy is not difficult, unless the paper be very tender. In the first case, the spur ought to be filed to a smooth tapering point — in the second, it is usual to wedge a bit of reglet into the groove, to cut it down to the surface of the cross, and to make a hole in it with a bodkin for the reception of the spur—in the last, it is necessary that the spur fall fairly into the groove. If the fault arises from the blunt¬ ness and thickness of the spurs, they must be filed smaller and to a point. GUTTER. Gutter Sticks are used to set between pages on either HANG UP PAPER. ao8 side the crosses ; they are made of an equal thickness their whole length ; but they have a groove, or gutter, laid on the upper side of them, as well that the water may drain away when the form is washed or rinsed, as that they should not print, when, through the tenderness of the tympan, the platen presses it and the paper lower than ordinary_ M. We now mean by the term Gutter, the piece of furniture that separates two adjoining pages in a chase, as in an octavo that between pages 1 and 16, in a duodecimo that between pages 1 and 24-, and so on. The pieces that are put at the sides of the pages next the cross, are called Hacks ; and those at the tops of the pages next the cross, are called Ilvatls. I would recommend that the gutters should be cut a little longer than the page, the heads for each quarter being in two pieces, so that the gutter may be between them; one head will thus project a little over the side- stick, and will form an abutment for it, while the other will j)roject a little over tlic back; by tliis mctliod there will be no danger of any of them binding, and the gutters will answer for pages of diHerent lengths.

IIAI.F A PRESS. When but one man works at a press, it is called Haifa Press .— M. It is still termed a Half Press. A man is said to be working Half Press. IIAI.E VV'OUK. He that works but three days in the week, does but Half work. — .M. Hangs. NVe Lktter Hangs. — .V. HANG UP PAPER. To hang the sheets upon the poles to dry after they have been printed. For this purpose the warehouseman takes the peel in his hand, and lays it Hat upon the heap that is to be hung up, so as to let the paper project beyond the left side of it; he turns over upon it from six to twelve or fourteen sheets of paper, with the wrapper, and then moves the peel two or three inches to the left, and goes on repeating the process, till he has got as many lifts on it as it will conveniently support; he then raises them above the pole on which they are to be placed, and holding the handle slanting the sheets open at the under side, so that when the peel is withdrawn the lifts arc left suspended on the pole ; he then inserts the end of the peel between the first and second lifts, which are undermost, where he shifted his peel in taking them up, lifts them a little, and moves them farther from each other on the pole, still letting the one overhang a little the other he leaves in its first place, and thus he proceeds till one by one he has separated all he had upon his peel; he then takes another peelful, repeating this process, and so he goes on till the whole heap is hung up. He is guided by circumstances as to the number of sheets he should take in a lift: if the work is in a great hurry, or his vacant poles are not in a favourable situation for drying, or the weather be rainy and the atmosphere charged with moisture, he will hang the paper up thin ; but if he is short of pole-room, and the work is not in a great hurry, if the situation is favourable for drying, and the weather dry and warm, he will make his lifts thicker; but I would caution him not to go to an HARD WORK. 309 extreme, as in that case the paper may mildew upon the poles, parti¬ cularly in the fold. Houses of extensive business have drying rooms fitted up with pipes, and heated either with steam or hot water, so that they can dry their printed paper expeditiously, without hinderance or drawback. HANG THE PLATEN. To tie the platen to the hose hooks, in a wooden press. To perform this it is usual to lay on the press stone a form of solid type, and to turn the tympans down upon it, to place the platen in its place, square with the press, to pull the bar home, and to keep it in this situation by a letter board placed so as to take a bearing against the shoulder of the bar close to the handle, and also against the off cheek ; but I prefer a piece of wide furniture with a notch cut in one end for the bar, and the other end against the off cheek, as it is more secure and less liable to be displaced; then to make a noose on a piece of laid cord, place this on one of the front hose hooks,' and take a turn round the corresponding platen hooks, and continue these turns till a sufficient quantity of cord is wound round the hooks; take a hitch round one of the hooks to prevent the cord slipping, then begin to wind the cord round these layers, every two or three turns drawing it tight by taking a turn round a short piece of broad or narrow furniture, by means of which it may be drawn more forcibly, so as to bring the parts together, which makes it so firm that there is no danger of its giving way; the end may then be fastened to one of the hooks. The same process is repeated at the opposite angle, behind the press ; then at the two other angles; the platen is then firmly hung, and is ready for work. The same process is observed in iron presses, with the exception that the platen is not tied with cord; it is attached to the press by means of screws. Hansard, Luke. See Donations. HARD IMPRESSION. When there is too much pull in working at press, particularly with engravings, and the lines come oflF strong which ought to be light and delicate, it is said the impression is hard. HARD INK. Ink very well boiled.— M, It is now called strong ink. HARD JUSTIFYING. If a compositor fills his stick very stiff with letters or spaces, they say it is hard justified. — M. HARD PULL. In justifying the head of a press for a short pull, which is done by putting solid blocks of wood into the mortises of the cheeks, it is called an Hard Pull. — M. This relates to wooden presses ; but, instead of the blocks of wood, scaleboard is now used, additional pieces of which are put into the mortises, by lowering the head, which is again tightly screwed up : in the Stanhope Press, and in Clymer’s, it is accomplished by shortening the coupling bar, by means of a screw; in Cogger’s press, by a screw through the head; and in Cope’s press, by putting pieces of plate iron upon the crown of the platen. In Sherwin and Cope’s Imperial press, by turning a screw attached to a wedge placed in the front, above the spindle; Mr. Hopkinson has adopted the same method in Cope’s press, placed on the near side. HARD WORK. With compositors, ill written copy, much Italick, Latin or Greek, or marginal notes, or few breaks, &c. is called Bad, Heavy, Hard Work ; with pressmen, small letter and a large form is called Hard Work. — M. See Bad Work. There has been an alteration in the mode of paying for work since Moxon’s time, which is to the advantage of the workman: foreign languages, Greek, and marginal notes are now extra charges ; and the 310 HEAP HOLDS OUT. Pressman has an additional price for Ids work, as the type decreases in size and the size of the page increases. See Prices. HEAD. That part of a wooden press in which the nut of the spindle is fixed ; it has a tenon at each end which fit into long mortises in the cheeks, not tightly, but sufficiently so to prevent lateral motion ; and it is suspended from the cap by two long iron bolts, which go through the head and the cap, above which are iron washers and screws by which to lower the head, or screw it up tighter. The head is usually made of elm. The whole of the pressure in the process of printing is between the head and the winter. HEAD BAND. A thin bar of iron that connects the two sides of the tympans at the top: it is made thin, to allow it to run under the platen without impediment. The half of the frisket joints are riveted to the head band. See Frisket Joints. HEAD BOLTS. Two long bolts that pa.ss through the head and the cap, in wooden presses, with a screw at the upper end; the head of the press is supported upon the heads of the bolts, and their screw ends pass through the cap, upon which they are secured by washers and female screws that can be tightened by the fingers; these screws are for the purpose of screwing up the head, to Justify the pull. HEAD LINE. The top line of a page in which is the running title and tlie folio, but sometimes only a folio: the divisions and subdivisions of a work, when they arc set in lines, and chapters, are also called Head Lines. HEAD or A PAGE. The top or beginning of a page. — J/. HEAD PAGE. Tlic first page of a work, and each page on which a new division of the subject commences, such as parts and chapters, provided they begin the page. HEAD PIECES. The same changes have taken place with regard to head pieces that I have described under the article Fac ; from the beautiful drawings with which manuscripts and some of the first pro¬ ductions of the press were illuminated, they gradually descended to engravings on wood, Avhich was the first step, then to cast metal orna¬ ments, and then to the tyjjes called flowers, which were displayed in every variety of form that they were capable of, or that the ingenuity of tlie printer could devise; these gave place to a piece of double brass rule, that is now out of fashion ; and head pieces at the present day are only spoken of as things that once existed. See Fac. HEAD STICK. Pieces of furniture put at the head of pages when a form is imposed, to make the margin at the head of the page; they are called reglets, if they exceed not an English thick.— J/. See Bolts. HEAP. So many reams or quires as are set out by the warehouse¬ keeper for the pressman to wet, is called a Heap; but then it is called a dry heap, till the pressman have wet it, and then it is indeed called a Heap. —J/. When paper is given out for a work, and wetted, it is called a heap, and retains that name till it is made up into books. In gathering the printed sheets in the warehouse, all the sheets of each signature are placed ujion the gathering table, arranged in their regular order, except it be a long number, and then about a bundle of each; each signature in this situation is called a heap. HEAP HOLDS OUT. When it hath its full intended numlier of slieets_J/. At the present time, when accidents and other causes have not reduced the surplus so much as to prevent the warehouseman from delivering the proper number. Heavy Work. Sec Bad Work and Hard Work. HEBREW. Sll HEBREW. The Chaldaic letters are derived from the ancient Hebrew or Samaritan, which are the same, or nearly so, with the old Phenicien. The prophet Ezra, is supposed to have exchanged the old Hebrew characters, for the more beautiful and commodious Chaldee, which are still in use. Hebrew has no capitals ; and therefore letters of the same shape, but of a large body, are used at the beginning of chapters and other parts of Hebrew work. The Hebrew Alphabet. Names.

Particular attention should be paid to the letters in the column “ Si¬ militude ” in the Table of the Alphabet, which are liable to be mistaken, one for the other, on account of their great resemblance one to another. Tlie vowels properly so called are ten in number, viz.: Long. Kamets d Tseri •• e Great Chirek ». tl Hholem or Cholem 1 d Shurek .') u, or do Short. Patach ' a Segol " e Little Chirek • t Kamets Catuph, or short (^) ’’ d Kybbutz \ m Sheva (') is sounded like very short e. 1. At the beginning of a word, 2.

(') never follows (’) in the beginning of a word, or in the middle after a perfect syllable; but the first is changed into (•) (-) or (•) chiefiy on account of a guttural and •*): very seldom into (▼“). Dagesh, from the Chaldaic, he ptaictureJ, is a point in the body of a letter, and is either terie or forte. Dagesh lenc removes the aspiration from the six letters J 3’ and strengthens their pronunciation in some degree. Dagesh forte doubles the letters in which it occurs. Regularly it follows a short vowel, and only a long one when accented. Mappik is a point in only, but vanishes on an increase of the word. .VCCEN'TS. Hebrew accents are cither mere points, or lines, or circles. Those which arc mere points or dots, consist of one, or two, or three such points, and arc always placed above the middle of the accented letter, thus That con¬ sisting of Gnc, called rebia, i. c. sitting over.

Thomas Dee, A.B. 8 vo. Dublin, 1836. 314 HEBREW. The following observations are from Buxtorf’s Hebrew Grammar : The finals are commonly called Camnephatz. But they are excepted in four places, namely, Isaiah ix. 6. w here the final Mem is in the middle of a word; Nehemiah ii. 13. where the open Mem is at the end; and Job xxxviii. 1. and xl. 6. where J is at the end. These seven letters ^ ZZ are sometimes lengthened, either for the sake of elegance, or for filling out the line, which is never to be finished with a divided word. The units are compounded with the tens and hundreds, as 101, and so on ; but for pp 15 is 9 and 6, lest the sacred name n’ Juh should be profaned. — Jiuxtorf. Hebrew is read from the right to the left. In composing it, the general method is to place the nick of the letter downwards, and when the points are put to the top, to turn the line and arrange those points that come under the letter, taking care to place them in the following order ; if the letter has but one leg, the point must be placed imme¬ diately under that leg, but otherwise the point must be placed under the centre. Smith, in his Printer’s Grammar, has the following observations on Hebrew; I have not been able to ascertain upon what authority his reasoning is founded, but I have ascertained the fact of the variation in the types, that he speaks of, by an examination of a Hebrew Bible. “ But we must not pronounce it a fault, if we happen to meet in some Bibles with words that begin w ith a letter of a much larger Body than the mean Text; nor need we be astonish’d to see words with letters in them of a much less Body than the mean Text; or wonder to see final letters used in the middle of words; for such Notes shew that they contain some particular and mystical meaning. Thus in 2 Chron. I. 1. the word Adam begins with a letter of a larger size than the rest, thereby to intimate, that Adam is the father of all .Mankind. Again, in Genes. I. 1. the great Beth in the word Jicrcschith stands for a Monitor of the great and incomprehensible work of Creation. Contrary to the first, in I’rov. XX\ 111. 17. the Daleth in the word Adam is considerably less than the Letter of the main text, to signify, that whoever oppresses another openly or clamlestinely, tho' of a mean condition ; or w ho sheds innocent blood, is not worthy to be ctilled Man. “ Sometimes the open or common Mem stands in the room of a final one ; as in Nehem. II. 13. where the word hem has an open Mem at the end, in allusion to the torn and open walls of Jerusalem, of which there is mention made; and in Es. VII. 14. where the Prophet speaks of the Conception of the Virgin Mary, the .Mem in the word haahna, or Virgin, is a close or final letter, to intimate the virginity of the mother of our Saviour. Such are the peculiarities of some Jew ish Rabbi’s in Bibles of their publication ; of which we have instanced the above, to caution compositors not to lake them for faults, if such mystical writ¬ ings should come under their hands.”— Smith. The following is the date to an Hebrew and Spanish folio Bible, printed by Proops of Amsterdam in 5522 (?. c. 1762), showing the date as usual in a sentence, the letters by which the date is computed being larger. P'sb A”. 5522. 1 HEBREW. 315 Rahhinical. —The language or dialect of the Rabbins is divided into two branches; one approaching nearer to the Hebrew, and the other to the Chaldee, yet each agrees with the other in many points, and both are generally used in conjunction in writing. The letters agree with the Hebrew and Chaldee in regard to their number and power, but they differ as to the form; for although in the Talmudic text of the Holy Scriptures the Hebrew square character is used, yet in commentaries and elsewhere a rounder letter is adopted, better suited to promote facility in writing. Their points of agreement or difference are shown in the subjoined table :— Aleph. b b Lamed. n 3 Beth. D V Mem. 3 Gimel. 2 ' 3 Nun. 1 1 Daleth. D P Samech. n P He. V V Ain. 1 1 Vau. 3 P Pe. T I Zain. V Tzaddi. n P Cheth. P P Koph. U Teth. “1 7 Resch. 7 > Jod. D Schin. 3 3 Caph. n P Tau. The finals are the same as in Hebrew, the forms of which they also imitate, in this manner, •j'j, qd, j]} P|i]j There are no lengthened letters in printed books. The two letters b and i are often connected by the Rabbins in this manner, as, for bsn Deus, for sbt;? sed. It is also to be remarked that they write the name of God in different ways; namely, the Tetragrammaton, or with the Tar- gumists, or or ODP and abbreviated 'p, nomen illud, i. e. the most excellent; but in expressing the word they change the letter P into 7 or p, thus, D’7l)f> or D’p5f>, which agrees with a general superstition of the Jews. The vowel points are the same as in the Hebrew, but they are rarely expressed, except in books written for the use of students. When they are wanting, they must be gathered from analogy, in which much assistance may be gained from the frequent use and study of the Hebrew ; but where conjecture may be difficult, the three letters ’ i f>, which are called the mothers of reading, are used in order to assist the reader. Thus (1.) fi denotes Kamets in turpitudo, ’fi7ll confessum, Df>7P re¬ demit eos, &c,; (2.) Vau denotes Cholem, Kybbutz, and Kamets- catuph; as, finpi vocare, 7p1P visitans ; oio for ohs omnes illi, PJIPP for nanp sacerdotium, nnipi for ad explicandum illud, &c.; (3.) Jod denotes Chirek, Tseri, Segol, and occasionally in the Talmud both simple and compound Sheva; as, pi’pp precatio. 316 HEBREW. ■)j’3 annunciavit, n3’f> also dT 5’P for explicatio, 'i’ft for 'bs ad me, O’D for ’'3tI7 secundus, P’3 for n3 in eo, r’')3 for Jilius ejus, and so continually to mark the feminine affix n^2. The rules for the vowels, and for the Sheva, both simple and compound, and also for the diphthongs, are the same as in the Hebrew and Chaldee. fi is often absorbed by crasis, as, h’i}r> for S3S possum, as if it were potens ego, byji' scio, also of the feminine by an enallage frequent in this contraction, thus in p’i and for p’fi f>i and byb W non est. In the same manner r> is omitted by the Jews in o’i’P for o’i’PP psulmi. But many others are accustomed to be con¬ tracted in this manner by the Jews of Jerusalem, viz., b in lia for i3’f>3 quasi, m for r>f>) et tu, P7 for p67 quod tu, bil for ^3^7 quod ego, 13’7”C’) for flip i’7 67”ri quodnam est illud; p in ]ii for ]ipi illis; p in ’PIP for 'Pipp suh ; i in op, oip, or ’Pip, for 07ip ante. Apocope is fre(|uent among the Talmudists, as, ’3 for P’3 domus, or ]’3 inter. So in the pronouns both separate and suffixed, ipfi for ppfi VOS, 13 for ]i3 VOS, vester, ’p for pp illis, suis; also in the feminine, ’3 for ]’3, ’p for I’p; and in the verbs, as, ’D73 for p-ppi docui, ipipo sustulistis, vfip stans, &c. Aph.X’resis also occurs, though seldom, in 7P for 7pf' 2 inus, bi for bib ego, ]3 for ]3fi nos, pp for ppfi dixit. Tliey leave the Dagesli, both lene and forte, to be collected from analogy, hut wliere it may be difficult to guess at, as in the jiretcrite Pihcl, the letter ’ indicates the little Chirek as well as the Dagesh forte, as, pd'3 for nsp texit ; and in defectives the letter which had been thrown aside is sometimes restored, as, i3p3’ for ciT uleiscetur, from op3 nlcisci. A ])oint at the end of a letter generally denotes a number, as, 'fi unum, '3 duo, 'i tria, &;c.; hut at the end of two or more letters it signifies a word cut off by a certain abbreviation, as, 'pfi for ppfi dixit, 'pii for ppi5 diccre, 'p’ 'p for TJ'Ppn'; ctfn Dcus Icnedictus, 'ui for et ccetera, in an abrupt passage of Scripture, '131 for 'ibp’l et totum illud, in sacred or profane use. Also '’p for interpretatio, or interpretatus est, 'p for ’3P JRabbi, Magisfcr, 'ij for “1KS2D quia dictum est, &c. A double point affixed to a letter indicates either compound numbers, as, 7 "’ 14 , i"u 15 , 7"pp 444 ; or letters taken materially, as, qi"fi Alcph, P’"3 Beth, ip"’j Gimel, &c.; or lastly abbreviations by initial letters alone, denoting entire words, which is called P'3’P ’Dfip; the number of these is very great, as p"’fi, that is, (piip’) DjP p 3P’ ofi si voluerit (or Juverit) Dcus, i"b 1?

Accents are omitted in Rabbinical books; but in pronouncing words the Hebrew accent is transposed from the last syllable to the penultimate, thus, they read o’Pif P’DflS Berescliith boro Elohim, f'SP obp aulom hdbbo ; for Vau Cholem is generally pronounced as the diphthong au, and the vowel Kamets as an o. There are also certain marks of distinction, by which the perfect sense of a sentence is shown; for an imperfect sentence is not pointed off, and often not even a perfect one. But for this purpose there is used, either two perpendicular points, like the Soph-pasuk in Hebrew, but which appears rarely, and indeed not at all in some books; or a single point at the top of the letter similar to the Greek colon; or lastly, a down stroke, either straight, or oblique like the Greek acute accent, which, although the most frequently used, is yet often neglected. The purer Rabbins commonly use Hebrew words, but they have also some words peculiar to themselves, which are either borrowed from other languages, as, for example, from the Chaldee, 'jb''S arbor, M^5 fortuna, ”itn rediit, &c.; from the Greek, mb, d^p, aer, ]P’f, a-ripelov, signum, ]nn, h&pov, donum, vviv, iSidiTrjs, idiota, ■rrapprjaia, f’’PPIPS operte, paldm, &c.; from the Latin, f't’PDlf' hospes and hospitium, vpip and V)ipip palatium, &c.; and even from the Hebrew, but in a Syro-Chaldaic signification, as, mp rependit, ultus est, ipD sustulit, p")p volavit, ppp destruxit, &c., or taken evidently in a new sense, as, pp hcereticus, ]P 15 argumentando objecit. Also these three, o’PD coelum, oippp locus, and ppDJ fortitude, are often put for Deus, God. jP, from the full particle MJP, prefixed to words expletively, and without any increase of signification, seems to be numbered with the serviles by the Talmudists, and which the more vulgar Rabbins, as Rabbi Lipman and the like, who are careless of a correct style, also imitate, as, •ppfp? qui dixit, pdp 7’3Pp 'fip quid fecit Moses? P’i vi>”PP f>pn? W non introduxerunt eum, &c. The preceding observations are translated from a small treatise intituled “ Synopsis Institutionum Rabbinicarum,” by George Otho, Professor of the Greek and Oriental languages at the University of Marburg in Hesse, and who acknowledges to having derived his information from Cellarius, Buxtorf, and Hackspan; and bound in connexion with the “ Fundamenta Punctationis Linguae Sanctse,” of Jacob Alting, printed at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 2 vols. 1717.

In the above plans the Hebrew Cases nearly resemble those of the English now in use. The alphabets liave been classified and arranged so as to facilitate the composing of it; that is, the three different dotted alphabets in the upper case are quite distinct from each other, being separated by a thicker partition, to lead the eye of the compositor to it with greater certainty. The alphabet, with the dot over the letter, appears first in order, or left hand side of the case ; the second alphabet, with the dot in the middle of the letter, under that of the first; and the third alphabet, with the dot over and in the middle of the letter, in the small capital, or right hand side of the case; and underneath, the points and accents required in composing Hebrew with points. The lower case lettei-s are also arranged as near to the English plan as is possible: the {^fa) in t^e a box ; the ^ (b) in the b box, &c. so that the compositor can go from a pair of English cases to the Hebrew ones with very little perplexity, and a great saving of time, instead of looking over a wide surface of three cases, as is now the case, without any classification or arrangement whatever. In composing Hebrew without points the lower case oidy is recjuired, as the final letters and broad letters are brought into it, and quite under the hand of the compositor, which is desirable.

These terms are applicable to the quires of white paper, to wrought-off heaps, to gathered books, and to sorts of letter, &c.

Of wrought-off heaps, the heap that comes off first in gathering is said not to hold out. Of gathered books, if the intended number of perfect books are gathered, they say the impression holds out: but if the intended number of perfect books cannot be gathered off the heaps, they say the impression holds not out. And so for sorts of letter, either when it is in the founding house, or in the printing house.— M.

HOSE, 'fwo upright bars of iron that connected the garter and the hose hooks, and went through the till. There were screws at each end, by which they could tighten the platen cords, if they became slack.— M. The hose in wooden presses is now quite different: it is a wooden case for the spindle to work in, made hollow in the inside to fit it, and to which it is connected by the garter; it is square on the outside, and passes through an opening in the till, which it should fit accurately; and is tied to the platen by means of four iron hooks, one at each bottom corner. Its uses are, to guide the platen down to the form in a horizontal position, by its passing through the till; and also to lift the platen from HYDRAULIC PRESS. 323 off the form, which it does by the return of the press bar, and its con¬ nexion with the spindle by means of the garter. HOSE HOOKS. Four iron hooks at the bottom corners of the hose, to which the platen is tied. They are projections from an iron belt that embraces the bottom of the hose, and stand facing the platen hooks. HOURS. Pressmen reckon their works by hours, accounting every token to an hours work: and though it be the same effectually with tokens, yet they make their prices of different work by the hour; and it passes current for a token. If two men work at the press, ten quires is an hour; if one man, five quires is an hour.— M. The quires of paper at this time always contain twenty-four sheets, at least the inside quires do, which alone are used for bookwork; and a token is ten quires eighteen sheets, which is still called an Hour, whatever the price may be: thus, if two men at a press print twelve tokens of paper in a day, they say, they have done twelve hours ; and if it be fine work, at which, through the care bestowed on it, they can only print three tokens, or four tokens, they say, they do three hours, or four hours, in a day; although it takes the same time in performing that the twelve tokens did. HYDRAULIC PRESS. This press was invented and introduced to the public by Mr. Joseph Bramah, of Piccadilly, Engineer. Mr. W. Nicholson, in his Journal of Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and the Arts, vol. 1. April, 1797, gave an account of it, with engravings, from which the following observations are extracted, which will give a brief description of this powerful machine, that is superseding the common book press with a screw in all extensive establishments. “ Its action is as follows: when the lever or pump handle is raised, it brings up the piston, which would leave a vacuum beneath if the pres¬ sure of the atmosphere did not force the water in through a side valve. The lever is then to be pressed down, which causes the side valve to shut, and forces the water through a valve at the bottom, whence it passes through a pipe into the cavity of the great cylinder, and raises the piston or pressing rammer. A repetition of the same process forces more water in, and the pressure may in this manner be carried to a great extent. “ There is no difficulty in computing the force of this instrument. If the diameter of the pump barrel be one quarter of an inch, and that of the cylinder one inch, that is to say, four quarters of an inch; one pound lodged upon the piston rod of the pump will be in equilibrio with sixteen pounds lodged upon the table of the press; the weights of the parts of the engine jittached to, and moving with each piston, being respectively included. And if the length of the pump lever be fifteen inches, and the distance between the centres of motion and of action be two inches, one pound at the end of the lever will gain an advantage of times when compared with that at the piston rod. Instead, therefore, of six¬ teen pounds upon the table being equal in effect to counterpoise this last action, there will be required upwards of 120 pounds. But a man in this action of pumping by a downward pressure, can without difficulty apply his whole weight, and with great ease one third or one fourth of his weight, suppose 50 pounds. In this case the pressure will be equi¬ valent to fifty times 120 pounds, or 6000 pounds, that is to say, nearly three tons. “ To compare this engine with a screw, in theory, we must enquire what fineness of thread and length of lever would afford a purchase of 120 to one. Let us suppose the thread of a screw, substituted in the place of the cylinder, to be one tenth of an inch thick; the distance from 324 HYDRAULIC PRESS. the top of one thread to the top of the next will in this case be one fifth of an inch. This is the space through which the weight must rise in one revolution. The power must therefore move through 120 times that space, namely twenty-five inches ; but a lever or radius four inches long will describe a circle somewhat larger than tliis, and consequently such an engine would in theory be equal in power to the hydraulic engine we have been contemplating. “ But when the subject is viewed practically, the ditference between the two engines appears to be very remarkable. All practical men know how' very large a part of the force o|jerating by means of engines is em¬ ployed in overcoming frictions. Every one is aware of the extreme Iriction between solids, and the very slight friction which takes place between the parts of tluids. This is seen in the common expedient of oiling the pivots of wheels, and in the very gradual decay of motion in tluid bodies ; while solids moving on each other stop at once, as soon as the force is diminished to a certain di-gree. The screw is an organ peculiarly lial)le to friction, and this friction is always much greater than the whole of the reacting force; for there are few instances where a screw will return from extreme pressure, when the agency upon the lever is withilrawn. It is also to be considered, that the whole force of the weight or resistance acts directly uj)on the face of the screw, at which the motion is required to take place. It has not been appreciated in what degree this resistance or friction increast's with the weight. In lighter actions the simple ratio has been inferred; but under more severe ])ressures the two metallic faces extrude the greater part of the half-fiuid matter between them, and npjtear, by the magnitude of their resistance, to be attached to each other by a process of the nature of cohesive at¬ traction. Eor these and other reasons, it appears nearly imj)ractieablc to form any comparison between two engities so diflerent in principle, but such ns shall be deduced from immediate experiment of their efl'ecLs. 1 am not in possession of numerical data to indicate the actual power of screw-engines or presses ; w liich are perhaps the le.ss necessary, iK'cause those who arc the most intereste«i in the success of an improvement like the present, are for the most part able to come at these w ithout diHlcult)’. “ In an engine of this kind, the diameter of the great piston was four inches, and of the smaller three-eighths of an inch ; and the advantage given by the lever or handle was twelve to one. Above the piston of the great cylinder was applied a long lever, at one end of w Inch was an axis, and at the other end a large scale to hold weights : it contained twenty hundretl weight. The distance between the axis of motion of tins lever and the part w here it acted on the piston was six inches; and the distance from the .same axis to the extremity where the scale was hung was 126 inches. Every hundred weight in the scale consequently pressed upon the piston with a force equal to twenty-one hnndrcd weight; whence the whole pressure was twenty-one tons. It was easy to work the lever briskly with one hand, and each stroke raised the scale near one-third of an inch. Eorty-seven pounds hung at the end of the lever, carried it down with a moderate swiftness of working; but a weight of only forty-three pounds remained in equilibrio, and did not descend. Now, the true weight in theory was thirty-two pounds, it follows that less than one-third of the actual power was employed to give velocity and overcome all friction. “ It may be remarked, that the principal frictions in these machines must be at the circumference of the pistons, and that these do not increase in the simple, but in less than the subduplicate, ratio of the HYDRAULIC PRESS. 325 power. For if the diameter of the great cylinder were double, every¬ thing else remaining unchanged, the surface of its piston, and conse¬ quently the power, would be quadrupled. But the friction would be only doubled, and that merely at the leathering of the greater piston. “ As the pressure in the experiment last mentioned amounted to 4'7'040 pounds upon the great piston of four inches in diameter, or sixteen cir¬ cular inches surface, it amounted to 2940 pounds upon each round inch. But the medium pressure of the atmosphere on a round inch is near twelve pounds, consequently the action was equal to 245 atmospheres: and as each of these corresponds with a column of 34 feet of fresh water at a medium, the water in the cylinder was pressed in the same manner as if the whole column had been 8330 feet, or 1|^ mile, long. “Large presses of this construction are made with two pumps of 1^ inch bore, and a cylinder of seven inches. These have been used in pressing hay and cotton for package; and, as I am informed, are effective in producing a greater condensation on the material with a much less application of moving power and consumption of time.” Tile following description and figures are taken from Dr. lire’s Dic¬ tionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines, 8vo. 1839. 1. Fig. 2. “ The framing consists of two stout cast-iron plates a, b, which are strengthened by projecting ribs, not seen in the section. Jig. 1. The top or crown plate b, and the base plate a, are bound most firmly together by four cylinders of the best wrought iron, c, c, which pass up through holes near the ends of the said plates, and are fast wedged in them.

The upper part of the cavity of the cylinder is cast narrow, but is truly and smoothly rounded at the boring-mill, so as to fit pretty closely round a well-turned ram or piston ; the under part of it is left somewhat wider in the casting. A stout cup of leather, perforated in the middle, is put upon the ram, and serves as a valve to render the neck of the cylinder perfectly water-tight, by filling up the space between it and the ram ; and since the mouth of the cup is turned downwards, the greater the pressure of water upwards, the more forcibly are the edges of the leather 326 HYDRAL’LIC PRESS.

This was Bramah’s beautiful invention. “ Upon the top of the ram, the press-plate or fable h, strengthened with projecting ridges, rests, which is commonlj' called the follower, because it follows the ram closelj' in its descent. This plate has a half-round hole at each of its four corners, corresponding to the shape of the four iron columns along which it glides in its up-and-down motions of com- pression and relaxation. “ k, k, figs. 1. and 2., is the framing of a force pump m itli a narrow barrel; i is the well for containing water to supplj' the pump.

Bj' shifting the bolt into the centre nearest the pump-rod, the mechanical advantage of the workman may be doubled. Two pumps are generally mounted in one frame for one hydraulic press ; the larger to give a rapid motion to the ram at the beginning, when the resistance is small; the smaller to give a slower but more powerful impulsion, when the resist¬ ance is much increased. A pressure of 500 tons may be obtained from a well-made hydraidic jrress with a ten-inch ram, and a two and a one inch set of pumps." In a Report addressed to the Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Woods, Forests, &c., in July 1839, as the result of an inquiry with reference to the selection of stone for building the new Houses of Parliament, it is stated the experiments relating to the cohesive strength of the stones, or their resistance to pressure, were made at the manufactory of Messrs. Bramah and Robinson, with a six-inch hydraulic press, the pump of which was one inch in diameter. According to trials previously made by Messrs. Bramah and Robinson, one pound rveight at the end of the pump lever produced a pressure on the face of the cube [two inches square] equal to 2 53 cwt., or to 71*06 lbs. on the square inch; from this datum it may be estimated how immense the pressure is that can be obtaitied by this press, when the strength of a man is exerted at the pump. I have used the common book press with an iron screw to press printed paper, and I have also used a Hydf&ulic press of an estimated power of eighty tons : besides the greater expedition in pumping this press up than screwing the other down, I can state from my own ob¬ servation, that the hydraulic press produced as great an effect upon the paper in three hours as the screw press did in a night, or at least fourteen hours. This may show the great superiority cf this press IMPOSING. 327. over that which has been in general use in printing offices. The hy¬ draulic press has fully accomplished in practice all that was expected from it, and has established for itself a high character, which it richly deserves. HYPHEN. A hyphen, marked thus (-), is employed in connecting compounded words ; as, “ Lap-dog, tea-pot, pre-existence, self-love, to-morrow, mother-in-law.” It is also used when a word is divided, and the former part is written or printed at the end of one line, and the latter part at the beginning of another. In this case, it is placed at the end of the first line, not at the beginning of the second.— Murray. I. IDENTIGR APHY. The Dutch papers in 1825 mentioned a new dis¬ covery in printing, to which the inventor gave the name of Identigraphv. It consists in a new application of the art of lithography, by which a reprint of common letterpress is obtained in a very short time; the in¬ ventor undertaking to reprint the foreign journals within two hours after their arrival by the mail.

IMPERFECT PAPER. Paper sent into a printing office to print upon, without the extra quantity which partly constitutes perfect paper; thus a ream of imperfect paper consists of twenty quires of twenty-lbur sheets each, which makes a ream containing 480 sheets; in this state it is termed inside quires: sometimes, but rarely, it is sent in with the out¬ side quires, in which case there are not so many sheets in a ream. See Paper ; also Perfect Paper. Imperial Press. See Sherwin and Cope’s Press. IMPOSING, is the arrangement of the pages of a sheet, or of a form, in their proper order on the stone, and the wedging of them up in a chase, with a view to their being printed. The knowledge of thus laying down pages, so that the sheets may fold correctly when printed, is of essential consequence to every com¬ positor engaged on book work. A workman would be held inexcusable who did not know how to lay down with accuracy all the common sizes; viz. quartos, octavos, and duodecimos : but even with this knowledge he is frequently at a loss when at work upon sizes that do not frequently occur; and more par¬ ticularly so at the close of a volume where there are fragments, which are required to be imposed together, for the purpose of saving press- work and warehouse work. 328 IMPOSING. A youth, who has just gone to the business, feels a natural pride in showing that he is making progress; and he wishes to improve himself without having continually to appeal to his instructor; but he does not possess the means. The young man from the country, who has been educated in a house wliere there has not been much book work done, which is generally the case, and who, of course, is not very expert at his profession, when he comes to work in an extensive book house in town, feels his deficiency, and more particularly if he has to lay down his pages in a large companion¬ ship ; he does not like to acknowledge his ignorance, nor to ask for information: he has consequently to work his way at a great disadvan¬ tage. Under these circumstances it frequently happens that the pages are laid down wrong, which causes a great deal of trouble and loss of time in their rectification ; and this trouble is considerably increased if the work be on a small type and solid. In this case, if the cords have been taken off, it is not advisable to transpose the pages without wetting them, for fear of Irreaking the matter, or at least squabbling it; the form has then to be ilried, before the pressman can pull another proof. All the works on Printing hitherto published, are deficient in giving a suHicient variety of tables for imposing, as a reference for the work¬ man, as well as for the reatlcr and the master printer. This deficiency of reference occasionally causes the compositor to re-impose his forms, as 1 just now observed, and also in many instances to cut up new furni¬ ture. To remedy this inconvenience 1 have considerably exceeded the num¬ ber of what has been given in any other work, by adding such tables as are likely to occur in practice, ami to which there has hitherto been no reference. 1 have given all the Tabu's of Inqiosition that are in Luckombe and in Stower, except a half-sheet of sixty-fours, although I disapprove of the arrangement of the pages in many of them, from their not cutting up or folding in the most convenient manner; yet, as they have been acted on in a great number of instances, I would not reject them, it being .advisable in reprints to preserve uniformity, w liich may enable the proprietor to make up a few more copies from the waste of both editions. I have added several, in which 1 think there is an improvement in these particulars. I have also endeavoured to make each size complete, by giving a sheet, a half sheet, a quarter itf a sheet, and the usual fragments that occur; varying the arrangement of the pages in a great number of instances, to suit the difi’erent ways of folding the paper. The whole of the signatures in each form are given, that they may serve as a guide in laying down the pages, particularly where there are a great number in a sheet ; they might then all be taken out, if thought proper, except the first, and the first in the oftcut, w hich are the only ones I would retain, and all that are necessary, the others causing the bottoms of the pages to look unsightly ; for the jierson who folds the sheets has only to keep the signature at'the outside, and the pages must be folded right. "when works are in half sheets, it is advantageous to work two together, as it enables the bookseller to deliver a single copy in sheets without cutting up the back; and also at the conclusion of a work that is in shccts^'w here there are two half sheets, as it saves time and trouble in the warehouse; it not being necessaty to divide the sheet and insert a IMPOSING. 32g half in each volume, hut the whole sheet may be gathered in the volume to which either of the signatures belongs ; by which means there will be fewer mistakes, and fewer imperfections required. When we arrive at a great number of pages in a sheet, they resolve themselves into the same order as quartos, octavos, and duodecimos; and in these cases I have repeated the imposition rather than refer to another size, which is not always very clearly understood when two, three, or more sheets are combined. Upon this principle I have repeated the half sheets, quarter sheets, and fragments, so as to make each size com¬ plete in itself. It is usual when a fragment at the end of a volume makes six pages to impose it as eight: in this case there are two blank pages. Sometimes the author fills these up, by adding to the text; at other times the book¬ seller occupies them with advertisements of other publications in which he is interested. When a compositor lays down his pages, it might prevent mistakes if he looked over them to see that they w'ere right before he untied the page cords; and it is a good check to examine the folios of every two adjoining pages in a quarter, to see that their sum makes one more than the number of pages in the sheet, or half sheet: thus, in a sheet of folio, 1 and 4, equal to 5, are imposed together; in a quarto, 1 and 8 ; in an octavo, 1 and 16; in a duodecimo, 1 and 24; in sixteens, 1 and 32; in eighteens, 1 and 36 ; and so in every other size : and this combination continues through all the other adjoining pages, according to the order in which they lie on the stone, calling the first page in the sheet 1, the second 2, and so on i:*. succession. The short cross is always better in the middle of the chase, if the margin will allow it; as it divides the matter more equally, and the form is safer when it is locked up. If it be the first sheet of a work that is to be imposed, or it be found necessary to increase the number of sheets in chase, the compositor applies to the overseer, or to the person who has the care of the materials, for a pair of chases. The pages being laid upon the stone in their proper order, and as near the required distance from each other as can be determined by the eye, the compositor then places his chases; he takes one with both hands and lays the off side or end, as it may be, on the stone at the outer side of his pages, and lowers the near side gradually, till it lies flat on the stone, taking care that the inner edges of the chase and the cross bars do not rest on the face of the pages to injure them, and that the grooves in the short cross are upwards. The furniture has now to be cut for the sheet; but previous to doing this it is necessary to ascertain what kinds of it will be wanted, by trying the margin with a sheet of paper of the work, otherwise a great risk is run of cutting an expensive article to waste, and of incurring also a loss of time, both of which should be avoided if possible. The manner of making margin will be explained under its proper head. See Margin. I would recommend that the headsticks in octavos should be in two pieces, each of them a little longer than the page is wide ; this will allow the gutters to be a little longer than the page, so that they will come close to the footsticks at the bottom, and at the other end will go between the headsticks, thus securing the inside of the two pages, without any risk of the gutters binding when locked up, which they are apt to do when cut to the precise length of the page, as is the custom when the headsticks for each quarter are in one piece. The gutters thus being 330 IMPOSING. equal to about three picas more in length than the page, will answer for other works where tlie page is of the same width, but different in length. The headsticks and gutters being arranged, the compositor will cut his backs a little longer than the page, and these abutting against the headsticks that project beyond the page towards the cross, will secure that side. The sidesticks should be of the full length of tlie page, and abut against the headsticks on tlie outside of the form. The footsticks may be a trifle shorter than the widtli of two pages and the gutter; for as there should always be a line of quadrats, or a reglet cut to measure, at the foot of each page, the footstick may be a pica shorter witliout danger, on this account, of any thing falling out, when the form is lifted, and it thus prevents the side and foot sticks from binding when locked up. lly cutting the furniture in this manner, the compositor wilt at once perceive that all his pages will be secure, and that the furniture cannot bind in any place when locked up. The gutter is pushed down to the footstick, and extends beyond the top of the pages; the two headsticks abut against the gutter, and project a little beyond the sides of their pages; the back is pushed up to the headstick, and extends a little below the bottom of the page; the footstick abuts against the back, and by being about a pica short prevents the sidestick from binding against it; and the sidestick abuts against the head, and extends the full length of the page: neither is there any impediment to driving the (pioins. I would never cut the heails and the backs of such a length as to pro¬ ject beyond the side and foot slicks ; for when they do, they are in the way of the shooting stick, if a (|uoin has been driven close up, when the form has to be unlockeil. Neitlier should the headstick |)roject so much as the thickness of the back; nor the extra length of the gutter be so much as the headstick; otherwise they will bind and prevent the form from rising. When the sidestick or footstick is so long as to project one beyond the other, it prevents the quoin from passing, and in unlocking causes a great deal of trouble to get it out; 1 have, in such cases, frequently seen the sidestick broken or spoiled in the attempt, and a page squabbled or broken. This arises from carelessness or idleness, both which generally cause more trouble ultimately than if the work were properly performed in the first instance. If it be thought unnecessary or wa.steful to cut down siile or foot sticks for a job, or a pamphlet, when there are none of a proper length in the house, a piece of furniture taken out of the drawer of the proper length and width, and placed inside next the page, will remeily the inconvenience, and cause the quoin to be driven with ease. When placing the furniture about the pages leave the ends of the page corils out, so that they may be easily taken off, without the neces¬ sity of disturbing the pages to tind the end, which will be the case if they be tucked in. The furniture being now round the pages, T would recommend to the compositor to put some quoins round the form, not with any particular care that they fit, but merely to secure the pages, and by their means to push them up close to the heads, backs, and gutters. .\fter having taken a page cord from a page push up that page close to the furniture at the back and head, bj’ means of the side and foot stick, to prevent the letters at the ends of the lines from falling down, and also tighten the quoins gently with your fingers. .\ll the page cords being taken off, and the pages pushed up close at the sides and heads, it will next be necessary to examine particularly that the margin be right; as also to put one or two scaleboards in all the backs IMPOSING. S31 and the heads between the furniture and the crosses. These scaleboards enable the pressmen to make register if there be any inequality in the furniture or the crosses, by changing their situations, or taking some of them away; they also enable the compositor to make the distance between the pages in the backs and heads uniform, which should always be the case ; and no form of book work that has to be printed on both sides of the paper should ever be imposed without them. But scaleboard is never used in the gutters. The form has now to be quoined, which many compositors are in the habit of doing very carelessly, thinking that if the form lifts it is quite sufficient. This is an erroneous opinion, and frequently eauses errors from the slovenly manner in which the quoining is done, letters and even lines dropping out when the form is laid on the press, or taken off, vdiich do not always get replaced correctly ; and the pages are more likely to fall out if they stand a few days at the end of a bulk. As I have pre¬ viously described the imposing of an octavo, I shall continue my observa¬ tions with respect to that size, but the principle is the same whatever the size may be. I would have two quoins for eaeh sidestick, not put in indiscriminately, but the furthest quoin when driven tight, to be about three quarters of an inch from the broad end of the sidestick, which will allow room for the shooting stick in unlocking, as also for the form being tightened if the furniture shrinks; and the other quoin when driven tight to be its whole length fairly within the sidestick, because this end of the stick being thin, will be liable to spring from the page if the quoin be driven far in, and thus leave the letters behind insecure, and in danger of falling out: I would have two for the footstick in the same situations, and a third in the middle to cover the end of the gutter. Each quarter, of a form of octavo, thus quoined, will be perfectly secure when the quoins are driven tight, provided the pages be made up to the same length, and the lines properly justified; should this not be the case, the compositor will be obliged to vary the quoining, to meet the evil of bad workmanship. Before he tightens his quoins he examines whether the pages in the same quarter be of equal length, which he docs by pressing against the footstick with his thumbs, and raising it a little from the stone ; if it lifts up with it equally the ends of both the pages against which it presses, he is satisfied they are right, and tries the other quarters in the same manner ; if he finds any of the pages short, he examines them to find out where the deficiency is and supplies it; sometimes a lead is wanting, sometimes a line. This will arise occasionally from the carelessness of some compositors who will not take the trouble of cutting a gauge by which to make up their pages, but do it by counting the lines; they sometimes omit a line, sometimes have a line too much, and sometimes are equally incorrect with their leads : in other cases I have known gauges cut carelessly of an improper length, which causes the same evil; and it also occasionally arises from having the gauges of three or four different works cut on the same piece of reglet, and mistaking one for the other. See Gauge. I should now push the quoins up all round with my fingers, to confine the pages slightly, and then plane the form down gently by striking the planer with the fist; if any letters stand up they are easily pressed down by this mode of proceeding, without injuring their face ; after this is done, it is necessary to examine the sides of the pages, to see that no letters have slipped out of their places at the ends of the lines, which is frequently the case when pages which have been tied up have lain under the frame 332 IMPOSING. some time ; It may also liappen in taking the page cords off, particularly if they be knotted. Having examined the pages, and rectified any thing that was found amiss, which is easily done in this state of the form, I should gently tighten the quoins all round the form in an equal manner with the mallet and shooting stick, and then plane down, but not violently; if any letters stand up, from some substance being underneath, as a space, or a letter, or a bit of the page paper, wliich will sometimes get torn otf and remain, it will be better to omit planing tliat part down for the present, as it would oidy injure the type and answer no good purpose: tlie (juoins should then be driven as tight as is necessary, still doing it regularly and equally all round the form, when the form should be planed down again, which may be done with firmer blows than before, still omitting the part where the letters stand up. The form may now be lifted from the stone at the front edge, just sufficient to allow the compositor to see whether it will rise or not, but not so high as that a letter would drop out; if it dances, it must be dropped down again upon the stone, and the lines tightened by thrusting the point of a bodkin between some of the words, and tightening the quoins; thus bad workmanship causes fudges, and in this case is never safe, I'or the letters arc always in danger of being drawn out at press. Hut it may arise from a letter having slipped down at the end of a line: in this case the remedy is easy, to unlock the (piarter and put the letter in its proper j)lace; when this is done, anil the form will rise, take the substance that was under it completely away, lay the form down again, loosen the quoins in that quarter, then plane it down, and lock it up as before (lirected. The forms should now be brushed over with the letter brush, and taken to the proof press, and the pressman should be told to j)ull them, — In some houses the jiroof press is in the ])ress room, in that case the compositor either calls out “ Proof,” or asks, “ Who's in Proofs?” anil then tells the party how it is to be pulled. First Proof, or Clean ; sometimes the proof jiress is in the composing room, and the composi¬ tor cither calls out “ Proof” to them, or rings a bell, different houses having different customs in this respect. I would always put the Hat side of the furniture upwards, as it is more convenient for the pressmen, when it is necessary to place bearers on the frisket ; since they operate better on this surface than on the hollow side, and can be placed on any part of it. In my opinion it is preferable to have each part of the furniture in one piece, where it is practicable; as, for instance, the gutters, the backs, and the heads; which prevents the pieces from being transjioscd, and the margin from getting wrong : but sometimes pieces will be wanted of a width that is not equal to any regular size, and then tuo must be used. To prevent as much as possible one piece of furniture from being mis¬ taken for another in the hurry of business, I would cut all the gutters of one sheet of a precise lengl'li; so also would I do with the backs, as also with the heads; but each sort should be of a different length from that of the others; — thus, though all the gutters would be exactly of a length, yet would they be of a different length from that of the heads ami backs, and so of the others; and thus they would be easily distin¬ guished from each other, and mistakes would be prevented. The sheet being now imposed, the stone must be cleared; the saw and saw block put in their places — the shears —the mallet, planer, and shooting stick—the surplus furniture — the scaleboard—the quoins — IMPOSING. 333 and every »ther article; for in most houses there is a fine for leaving a foul stone. The compositor will tie up his page cords, and if he has any companions will return to them their proportion. In imposing a sheet from the furniture of one that has been worked off, in the regular process of business, there are certain circumstances to be attended to, which are frequently omitted: — The chase and furniture of one form should always be used for a similar form ; that is, the chase and furniture of the outer form should be again used for an outer form, and the chase and furniture of the inner form should be again used for an inner form; they should also be put round the pages in the same order in which they were put about those of the preceding forms. For want of care or thought in these apparently trifling circumstances a great deal of trouble, inconvenience, and loss of time, are frequently incurred ; for the register will be almost sure to be wrong when this is neglected, and then the forms must be unlocked, and the scaleboards changed, some of them having to be taken out, or fresh ones to be inserted, and this accompanied by a great deal of dissatisfaction. I have found it to be a saving of time to be a little methodical in im¬ posing ; I take out my quoins and lay them on the adjoining pages in their regular order, then, after the chase has been put over the pages, and the furniture about them, there is no loss of time in replacing the quoins, or in finding the proper situation for each of them : the page cords are then taken off; the quoins tightened; the form planed down, &c., as detailed in the preceding paragraphs for imposing the first sheet of a work. It should always be borne in mind that the quoins ought to be tightened regularly and uniformly round the form ; for if one quarter be locked up at once before the quoins are tightened in the other quarters, the whole will be distorted, and the pressmen will have great difficulty in making register. After the furniture has been taken from a form for the purpose of im¬ posing another, it will be the means of preventing the matter for dis¬ tribution from going into pie if the compositor tie a cord about each page; at least it may prevent an accident, and save him some trouble. The chases for a sheet ought always to be in pairs; for if they be of different sizes, or the rims of different thickness, it causes the pressmen to lose time in making register, when both forms are worked at the same press, and often occasions the spoiling of two or three sheets of paper before that object is accomplished. Before the compositor locks up his form, but after the pages are pushed up close to the backs and the heads, he should cut a gauge to fit exactly the intervals between the backs and the heads ; and a sheet should never be carried into the press room for press, without the margin having been tried by this gauge to see that it is right, and to correct it, if it should be wrong : for as the pressmen have frequently occasion to alter the scaleboards in working the reiteration, this alteration will ne¬ cessarily affect the furniture of the succeeding sheet. I have always used two small pieces of clean reglet, brevier or longprimer, and have cut them to the precise length; I wrote on both in ink the name of the work to prevent mistakes, as also the words ‘ Back’ and ‘ Head’ on each respectively; made a hole through them with my bodkin, tied them together with a piece of page cord, and hung them on a nail within my frame, so that they were always ready for use. I shall now enumerate the tables of imposition in the following pages, and add observations where it may appear necessary, to make them as clear as it is in my power to do, not only to facilitate the operation, but 334. IMPOSING. in many instances to give information that may be of service ; and in some cases to accommodate the bookbinder, who is seldom thought of in a printing office, but who, in my opinion, ought to be constantly con¬ sidered : for I hold that the binding of a book should be always kept in view, as Ave are all anxious to see how our work looks when it is splen¬ didly dressed by his skill; and it would consequently not be just if we did not do all in our power to accommodate him; stating this opinion will also show my reason for making some of the observations, as it is a point that has hitherto been neglected in all practical works on printing. I shall also notice the errors, where they occur, of my predecessors, not for the sake of finding fault, or of depreciating their labours, but to save trouble to the workman ; for, by some unaccountable cause, wherever I.uckombe has made a mistake, or committed an error, it has been copied by subsequent writers, who do not appear to have examined his arrange¬ ment of the pages, but to hav^e taken it for granted they were right, and have thus continued his errors. The writers since Smith have not, I think, reasoned correctly on this part of a practical work; they seem to have made a merit of not adding to this department, by attending too strictly to an observation of his, saying that there may be many more fanciful ways of folding a sheet of paper. So there may, with which it may not be necessary to encumber a l)ook ; but Avhy reject those that arc useful and of frequent occur¬ rence ? why omit giving tlie mode of imposing fragments that con¬ tinually occur at the end of a work ? and that generally cause loss of time in arranging them, which might easily have been avoided; which omis¬ sion I have endeavoured to supply : for this is the part of a work on printing that may be equally useful as a reference to the experienced work¬ man as to the novice, and which I have frequently seen much wanted. Smith’s Avords are, after enumerating the different Tables of Imposition Avhich he has given — “ More Irregular Sizes we liaA’e not thought fit to introduce; else Ave might have draAvn out Schenies for Imposing Six’s, lO’s, 14’s, 20’s, 28’s, 30’s, lO’s, 42’s, 50’s, 56’s, 60’s, 80’s, lOO’s, and 112’s ; these, and several more being Sizes that have been found out not so much for use as out of fancy, to show the possibility of folding a piece of paper into so many various forms.” — p. 257. Upon this passage haA'e all sub¬ sequent Avritcrs formed their excuse for leaving the different methods of imposing pages in an imperfect and erroneous state : the errors com¬ menced Avith Luckombe. As it may facilitate reference, I have given in the folloAving enumera¬ tion the initials of the different authors in Avhose Avorks the same forms Avill be found.—M. refers to Moxon ; Sm. to Smith ; L. to Luckombe ; St. to StoAver ; J. to Johnson ; II. to Hansard ; Ma. to Magrath; and Mas. to iMason. Where there are no initials, the arrangement has not, to my knoAvledge, been given before in any English book, and is only to be fmind in this Avork. ;'1 IMPOSING. 335 TABLES OF IMPOSITION.

In printing collections of plays in eighteens, where each play has separate folios, fragments in every variety arise. When one of four pages occurs, it will perhaps be adviseable, if the number be large, and the presswork not in a forward state, to make a full form of them, by setting the matter up five times : when the white paper is worked off, transpose the four pages, as directed in No. 70.; also take out the first and fourth pages of one of the portions of four pages which oc¬ cupy the place of the two blanks in No. 78, and put the third and the second in their place. 79.

In my opinion No. 1. is a more preferable method of imposing a sheet of 32mo. than No. 2.; as the sheet in the first instance folds into the regular folio, then into quarto, octavo, square sixteens, and thirty-twos ; whereas No. 2. folds into long folio, quarto, long octavo, &c. Both of them would be inconvenient, except for children’s books, tracts, and other temporary articles; as sixty-four pages in one signature would be too many to fold neatly for book work, for such purpose I should prefer four signatures in the sheet, each of which would be equal to a sheet of octavo. 114. Two Half Sheets of Thirty-twos, worked together 115. Sheet of Thirty-twos, with two Signatures. 48 pages and 16 The sheet in the first instance cuts up in the regular fold; the half sheet with signature B in it, folds into quarto, octavo, square sixteens, and thirty-twos; the other half sheet cuts up lengthways into two equal parts, containing sixteen pages each, one of which is an inset for signature B, the other forms signature C. 116.

They have the two first signatures on different half sheets : I have placed them on the same half sheet, and the third and fourth signatures on the other half sheet, so as to cause them to rise in a regular way. This sheet is equal to four sheets of octavo; two of which are imposed on each side of the long crosses in a pair of chases: eight pages of the first signature, the same as the outer form of a sheet of octavo, are laid down in the left hand quarter of a chase, the other eight pages, similar to the inner form of a sheet of octavo, are laid down in the right hand quarter of the other chase; the fourth signature is imposed in the two other quarters, which will lie together as the chases are upon the imposing stone; the second and third signatures are imposed in a similar manner on the other sides of the long crosses. 371 372 372 372 373 373 374 374 375 376 377 378 379 408 IMPOSING. 118.

Half a Sheet of Sixty-fours ----- 394 However much I disapprove of the arrangement of the pages in many of the Tables of Imposition in Luckombe’s and Stower’s works, on account of the uncustomary and inconvenient manner of the paper folding, yet I have given all that are in their books thus far, for the reason I stated in page 328; but when we come to sixty-fours, a size that is seldom printed, I think it is unnecessary to give more than one mode, and I omit the one that has been usually given, and insert in its place what I conceive to be an improvement. The old plan folded into folio, long quarto, octavo, long sixteens, &c.; the plan here inserted folds into folio, quarto, octavo, sixteens, &c. in the customary way.

It was formerly called the C'orrcctitiy Slone. Imposing stones are of difl'erent sizes to suit the business and the situation in which they are placed, as they recpiire a good light. Some are made to hold two demy forms, others to hold three royals. The stone should be of a firm texture, and its upper surface smooth, so as not to wear the bottom of the types. Imposing stones are sometimes satu¬ rated with oil, to lessen the friction. Their height is about three feet, and the length of one calculated to contain two demy forms is five feet, and its width two feet two inches. The frame on which the stone rests, is fitted up with drawers for fur- . iiiture_one of these is for quoins, always the uppermost, one for side sticks and foot sticks, one for broad and narrow, and one for wider pieces; — these drawers arc sometimes made of the whole width of the frame, so as to draw out on either side, and sometimes there are two within this width, one on each side. Of late years, in some offices, cast iron has been substituted for stone, the upper surface of which has been turned flat and smooth in a lathe ; and when a large size is wanted, two are attached together. Impression holds out. See Holds out. — M. IMPRESSION SHEET. A sheet of stout even paper, that fits exactly, without any play, the inside of the outer tympan: this sheet is used in fine work to place the overlays upon next to the parchment, and when a sheet of any work is thus made ready at a press, the succeeding sheets of the same work, at the same press, are made ready much more IMPRINT. 411 expeditiously, than if all the overlays have to be placed for each sheet on the tympan sheet. — See Making ready.

INDIA P.VPER. This paper, which conies to us from Cliina, is tle- ciiletlly superior to any otlier pa|)er for obtaining fine impressions from engravings. l iiat wliich is used as tlie linings of tea chests is etpial in (uiality to any, although some of it is coarse, and many persons object to the colour; a thicker and whiter sort comes over as wrappers for silk ; both these sorts are injured liy having been used as packages, Imt out of them good pieces may be selected, sufficiently large for octavo pages, and fre(|uently for (juarto. A perfect paper of a large size is imported in chests of two thousand sheets each. A sheet measures four feet three inches and one tentli in length, and two feet one incli and one tenth in width. This paper varies very much in quality, so that circumspection should be used in making a purchase. All India jiaper contains jiarticles of hard matter, like minute portions of stone, small pieces of the liard stalks of .some vegetable, and lumps of the material from which it is made. Previously to its being printed on, the whole of it ought to bo carefully examined, and these extraneous matters removed with a sharp knife, otlierwise they will injure the sur¬ face of the engraving. There is a smooth side and a rough side in white India paper, called by printers the right side and the wrong side : this India paper has the appearance of having been formeil on a smooth surface of metal or stone, by being laid on with a brusli, tlie rough side having the sem¬ blance of paint apjilied by an unskilful hand, exhibiting all the marks of the brush in irregular directions ; the other side being flat and smooth. Tlie smooth side is always used for the impression. In all cases the best way of damping India paper is to put it, in separate pieces, into a heap of paper that is in a proper condition for printing, where after lying a few minutes it will be sufficiently damp for use. Sec Paper. INK. Printing Ink is a composition formed of two articles, namely, varnish and colouring matter. The Rev. William Beloe, treating of early printed books in his Anec¬ dotes of Literature, &c., says, — “ It must have been immediately obvious that common writing ink, from its want of substance and viscosity, could by no means answer the INK. 417 purpose. But it must excite surprise, and indeed admiration, to perceive how soon the greatest perfection was attained in this particnlar. So very soon indeed, and so effectually, that very nearly at the same period books were printed at Mentz, at Rome, and at Venice, which may almost defy the competition of succeeding artists. —- The Psalter of Fust and Guttenburg, at Mentz, the Lactantius of Sweynheym and Pannartz, at the Subiaco Monastery, and the Pliny of Jenson, at Venice, may be adduced-as specimens of extraordinary beauty, with regard to the quality of the ink ; not perhaps surpassed, or, if at all, in a very small degree, by the productions of Bodoni at Parma, or the,most per¬ fect examples of the London Presses. It is observable that this ex¬ cellence of the ink, is particularly apparent in all the early books printed upon vellum, and in Germany.” This is strictly true, for the ink has, after a lapse of four hundred years, preserved its beautiful blackness, as I have myself witnessed, particularly in the large Bible printed by Faust and Schceffer, and generally known as the Mentz Bible without Date ; but in the seven¬ teenth century the quality had materially retrograded, and it was not till the latter part of the eighteenth century that it began to recover its cha¬ racter, when two or three of our most celebrated printers set about improving the ink of commerce for some very expensive splendid works, but the ingredients which they used they kept a profound secret. As I believe that I am the only person who has written a practical work on the subject, I will give an extract from the preface of my work on Printing Ink, which will show the state in which this article was at that time. “ The process of making printing ink has never yet been treated of fully by any practical man, either printer or manufacturer, so that this work will come before the public on a subject as new as it is important. “ This assertion may perhaps appear to require some modification, as the following pages will present to the reader many receipts for making printing ink, by preceding authors; but when it is known that this sub¬ ject is only treated of incidentally by some, and that others of them were not professionally printers, and therefore could scarcely be expected to know what was the desideratum, much less to attain it, we shall have little cause to wonder that all have failed. That they have failed, admits of no question : a long experience in the art of printing in all its branches enables and obliges me to say, that ink made from, any one of these re¬ ceipts could not be used in any printing office in the.metropolis. “ Moxon, who wrote the first practical work on printing, gives a detailed method of preparing printing ink after the Dutch manner, which he highly praises ; yet this ink would be deemed worthless at present, and although as good as the succeeding ones, he is never quoted on this sub¬ ject ; yet when types are treated of, his name appears in every subsequent work on printing. I believe few printers know his book, the title of which is, “ Mechanick Exercises :■ or, the. Doctrine of Handy-works. Applied to the Art of Printing. By Joseph Moxon, Member of the Royal Society, and Hydrographer to the King’s Most Excellent Majesty.” 2 vols. 4to. 1677, and which has served as the foundation of subsequent works on printing. “ M. le Breton, printer to the King of France, is the next author on this subject. He wrote the article on Printing in the French Encyclor pedie, of which the method of making printing ink forms a part. He is continually quoted by succeeding writers, yet his ink would not rank higher than Moxon’s in a printing office. E E 418 INK. “ J. B. Papillon, a celebrated French engraver on wood, published a treatise on that subject, in which he gave a detailed account of making printing ink, which would not be in greater estimation than ^Nloxon’s and Breton’s. “Lewis, in his Philosophical Commerce of Arts, relates the results of many experiments on boiling oil, which are of little practical use, and gives the process of making ink from Breton. “ Nicholson, in his Dictionary of Chemistry, gives some passages which purport nothing, and then proceeds to a loose description ot the process from Lewis. “ The Messrs. Aikin, in their Dictionary of Chemistry, give a short vague article on the subject, quoting Lewis as their authority. “ Rees’s Cyclopmdia contains an article on tlie subject from Lewis. “ The Printer’s Manual, a French work, published in 1817, gives an account of the process, founded on Breton’s formula. “ The Encyclopedia Britannica is the only work to my knowledge which has broken through the trammels of obsolete authorities, and given a receipt ljy wliicli a printing ink miglit be made that could be used ; but the editor candidly acknowledges that the article produced would be of an inferior ((uality. — It is, however, the only real a]»proximation to the knowledge of making an ink that could be worked with ; and yet it is deticient in specifying the (|ualities of the ditlcrent materials, and also of their due proportions, so that it would not produce a clean working iyk, nor an ink of a good colour. “ The information given in the book is not theoretical, but deduced from my own practice; and there is not an article mentioned in the whole treatise but what I have repeatedly emj)loyed, nor a receipt given but what has undergone the strictest ordeal—that of being used in the regular way of business. I'he tine black ink has been pronounced by some of our first printers unrivalled ; and the ink for general purposes has been allowed, by the most competent judges, to be fully equal to the high priced inks of the princijjal manufacturers. “ I have used them myself, and also superintended their use by others to the extent of thousands of impressions printed consecutively, without having found occasion to wash nr clean the form or engraving, and this in producing fine work. I am, through this experience, enabled to assert, that I do not think it possible that inks could be produced that would work cleaner or more freely, produce finer impressions, and retain their freshness of colour without imparting stain to the paper, than the inks, both black and coloured, the receipts of which I have published in this work. “ The Society for the Encouragement of Arts showed their sense of my success in this pursuit, by awarding to me their large medal, and a sum of money, for my imitation of drawings printed from engravings on wood with inks of my own preparing ; and by an invitation to furnish them with a paper on the preparation of printing ink. “ Knowledge of such a subject as this on which I am treating, must, to possess any value, be practical, not theoretical: without being so, there would not exist a possibility of accurately knowing the imper¬ fections existing in the inks, of estimating the errors and deficiencies, and, least of all, of providing aiemcdy. Thirty-six years practice in the metropolis, with some previous ones in the country, spent in executing the most common as well as the most splendid works, may perhaps entitle me to feel competency to my undertaking, and encourage the belief of it in others. INKING APPARATUS. 419 “ To printers generally, I feel that this work will be of great service, judging from the absolute want of information on the subject, a want that I have experienced in a very high degree during my practice. It will enable every printer to prepare a good ink himself, and to have it always of an uniform quality; — it will enable him to prepare the finest ink without any risk or danger; — it will enable him to prepare coloured ink of any hue at half an hour’s notice, that will work as clean as black ink, when any fancy work is required; — it will enable him to print bankers’cheques, &c. with a changeable ink, to prevent fraudulent alter¬ ations : — it is in fact opening a door to the extension of the powers of the printing press which has hitherto been closed and sealed.” This was written in 1832, and contains as faithful an account of the state of knowledge as could be acquired at that time on this subject; for the few manufacturers of the article then existing most scrupulously guarded the secret of its preparation, and no really fine ink could be purchased. The publication of my work on Decorative Printing, and of this work on Printing Ink, has effected a great revolution in the art; for previously it was impossible, even in the metropolis, to have any thing printed in a superior way except with black ink, whereas now, there is hardly a printer who would not feel ashamed to avow that he could not execute work in any colour whatever in the same style of workmanship as with black ink. For the method of preparing the dif¬ ferent inks, both black and of every colour, with the ingredients and their proportions, I must refer the reader to the book itself. For the qualities requisite in the best printing ink, see Engravings ON Wood, and also Fine Presswork. By the Act 6 G. 4. c. 111., the Customs Duty on the importation of ink for printers is If. D. the cwt. INK BLOCK. The block on which the ink is spread to supply the balls ; in wooden presses, it is nailed to the upper near hind rail, and is supported at the bottom by a stay fastened to the lower rail. It was generally made of a piece of elm wood, between two and three inches thick, with a ledge of fir wood at the back, at one end, and also at part of the front. A quantity of ink was kept in the farther corner, which was rubbed out on the bottom with the brayer, from which it was taken with a ball, and then distributed. In fine printing that required strong ink, it being found very difficult, in cold weather, to distribute the ink properly, some offices adopted a small table having an iron plate for the top, with a shelf under it for a lamp, which warmed the ink and caused it to work more freely. The introduction of rollers has superseded the use of the ink block, for which has been substituted an inking apparatus, which see. INKING APPARATUS. The substitution of rollers for balls re¬ quired a different apparatus for the taking of ink. Mr. Edward Cowper, of the late firm of Applegath and Cowper, claims the invention of the first apparatus, for which the firm took out a patent. Mr. Cowper kindly favoured me with drawings, and the following de¬ scription, in the year 1818. “ The apparatus consists of an inking roller, a distributing table, and an ink trough. “ The inking roller is made of wood covered with the elastic compo¬ sition, [treacle and glue,] it is about three inches diameter and eighteen or twenty inches long, according to the length of the form ; it is fur¬ nished with two handles which are fixed to the spindle on which the roller turns ; the spindle passes through the roller so that when one handle is moved the other is moved also; the handles stand over the 420 INKING APPARATUS. roller at right angles to it, this position being from practice found most convenient; a small leg projects from one of the handles, which prevents them from falling on the table and becoming soiled. “ The distributing table is of wood covered with a sheet of lead as level as possible ; and the frame on which it stands is of cast iron. “ The ink trough is fixed at one edge of the table, and is composed of a metal roller, turned true, and a thin plate of steel, the edge of the plate presses against the metal roller bj" means of levers and weights, the ink is placed between the steel plate and the metal roller. “ When the metal roller is turned round it becomes covered with a film of ink, the inking roller is then dabbed against it, and rolled back¬ wards and forwards on the distributing table in different directions; it is then passed two or three times over the form. “ The advantages of this mode of inking are considerable ; it is much easier to use than the balls, produces better work, and saves in balls and ink not less than five shillings per week. Its peculiar recommen¬ dation is the great regularitj' of colour which may be obtained, and the delicate manner in which the letter is touched, advantages which render it applicable to the finest specimens of typography.” The following account is extracted from Hansard's “ Typographia,” “ A more simple and cheap apparatus for this purpose was imme¬ diately got up by Mr. Foster, the inventor of the composition balls. It is a stand having its two legs and feet of ca.st-iron ; and its top, upon which the ink is distributed, instead of lead, as in the former apparatus just described, is mahogany. Ilehind this, elevated about two inches, is the stage for taking the ink on to the roller. At either end of the stage is a recess for receiving the contrivance which contains the ink. This is similar in shape to the brayer formerly used ; but turned hollow, with the handle and top to screw on ; at the bottom are holes, and when the ink is wanted on the stage, the workman, taking hold of this bottle- brayer, moves it from one recess to the other, drawing it slowly along the stage. In this movement the ink, by its own gravity, will issue out from the holes at the bottom, and leave a portion on the stage, more or less, ac¬ cording to the rapidity or freciuency of its transit. ISee /iffitre, p. 421.] “ Mr. Arding soon improved upon Foster’s apparatus, by making the ink-stage of cast-iron, with circular rece.sses; and the whole table more of a solid form ; both makers now adopt the same pattern : but the bottle-braver has not been found to answer, as the ink soon clogs up the holes, and the wood is liable to be split by the screw at the top; and an old servant of the press-room, the common brayer, has again been Ibund the most effective for this purpose. INKING APPARATUS. 421 “ I have had several of these inking tables at work, and find a decided preference due to the last described. The mahogany surface seems more congenial to the temperament of the ink and roller, than either the lead or iron. The ink is taken better, and distributes better. A line of colour is taken as perfectly from the stage as from a cylinder, since the roller, being cylindrical, can only touch the ink in a line, and it is only giving the roller a portion of a revolution on the stage to make it take a greater quantity of colour if necessary. More of the flue and dirt, inseparable from the working of paper, is held by the wood than by the lead; and consequently, the roller keeps cleaner, and the forme works better. The table is easily washed by the lye-brush, and no further waste of ink is occasioned. This apparatus has been further improved by substituting a box and cylinder for the stage and brayer. The advantage of which will be, that the quantity of ink on the cylinder to come in contact with the roller, is regulated by a pressure at the top, out of the body of the ink, instead of at the bottom against which the ink must rest. “ The cylinder is of mahogany, and, as here shown, moves in •a box or trough which contains the ink ; and which has a lid moving on hinges coming nearly over the top of the cylinder. To the under edge of this top is nailed a slip of thick butt or sole leather. This, by its naturally elastic quality, will always press upon the cylinder accord¬ ing as the lid is more or less tightly screwed down by thumb-screws. This leather will also intercept in its way any filth which may arise from the depot of ink before it can reach the cylinder: and which, when accumulated, may, by unscrewing the lid and throwing it open, as in the figure, be instantly scraped away with one stroke of the knife ; and no further waste of the ink incurred. No part of the ink in this apparatus 422 INSOLVENT DEBTORS. is exposed when the lid is down: and only a very small portion of the cylinder at the time of working.” A wooden table after the pattern of Foster’s apparatus is now gene¬ rally used, the top is covered with lead on which the ink is distributed on the rollers; the stage on which the ink is taken is not raised more than about a quarter of an inch, and at the two back corners are two recesses, one for the supply of ink, and the other for the brayer, when not in use.

A frame covered with parchment, which fits into tlie outer tyinpan ; two Hat points slip under the head-band of the outer tyinpan, which secure that end in its place; and the sides are kept down by two hooks on each side of the outer tympan which turn into eyes screwed into the sides of the inner tympan; in iron presses the hooks turn round studs, under the heads. In page. See Out page. INSERTION. If the compositor have left out words or lines, the corrector inserts it, and makes this mark where it is left out, which is called the mark for insertion. — .1/. This is now called an “ Out;” an insertion is when the author makes any addition in the proof sent to him. INSET. The same as oH’cut: with printers it is called an offcut ; when the work conies into the hands of the bookbinder, and the sheets are folded, it then beeoines an inset, being inserted in the middle of the sheet, to complete the regular succession of pages.

Q, Ng, Z, are reckoned superfluous consonants, and are thrown out of the modern alphabet, sa that the remaining letters are only 17, which compose the abgitur or alphabet now in use, and are placed in order as the Latin abcdarium. The ancient grammarians* called the dXfhshet Faoidh, or Faodh, i. e. a a voice, a sound or language ; because such letters are expressive of the voice and language. The moderns, to support their hypothesis, have corrupted this word to Feadh, a wood ; and from hence have denominated the letters after certain trees, three of which they are at a loss to ex¬ pound. According to Neuman, the Hebrew letters do each separately signify the idea either of motion, space, or matter; hence each Hebrew 426 IRISH. word is at once a name, and a definition of the subject, and all objects in the natural and moral world must be known as soon as their names are known, and their separate letters considered. The proper names of men being borrowed from such ideas as Adam, i. e. red earth, it is more rational to suppose our learned ancestors named their letters according to Forchern, from men, rather than from trees_ A Grammar of the Iberno-Celtic, or Irish Language.

By Thaddceus Con- nellan, 12mo. Lond. 1824.] The vowels are five in number, a, o, u, e, i, whereof the three first, a, o, u, are broad, and the two last, e, i, are narrow. In words of two or more syllables, regard must be had to the corres- pondenee of the vowels, for when the last vowel of the former syllable is a broad vowel, the first vowel of the following syllable must be broad also ; and when in some latter syllable the vowel is small, the last of the immediately preceding must be small also. Example, du-ne, a m^n, is false orthography, because the last syllable ending in a small vowel, the • first must end in a small one also, as dui-ne. No vowel is ever to be doubled as ee, oo, &c. in the same syllable. The diphthongs, or union of two vowels, are thirteen. Example.

WTien one, two, three, or more copies of a sheet of a work, or a job, are printed on the paper that the whole is intended to be worked on, it is said to be Pulled on its own Paper. This is frequently done at the commencement of a work, when a proof of the first sheet is sent to the author, or bookseller, or both ; that they may see the effect produced before it is proceeded with. J. •Teff. See Throw. JOB. Any thing which printed does not exceed a sheet, is termed a Job, and is paid for extra to the compositor, because there is no re¬ turn of furniture or of letter: he has generally to put up fresh cases, and has some additional trouble in getting the right letter, and in making up the furniture. See Scale of Prices. JOB HOUSE. A printing office, the general run of business in wfiich is the printing of Jobs; namely, cards, shop bills, bills for articles stolen, or lost, play bills, lottery bills, large posting bills, and all other things of a similar description. These houses seldom execute book work to any extent, as their materials, jiarticularly with respect to types, are not calculated for it; and few houses undertake both kinds of work to any great degree. The principal job houses in London have a variety of types, both as to size anil shape, such as few or no book houses ever think of laying in ; consequently they are enabled to execute such work in a style superior to that in which a book house could, with regard to pro- * ducing eftect, and, in general, more expeditiously. Jobbing is an ex¬ tensive business in Lonilon. See Book House. Johnson, Richard. See Donations. JOIN. \V hen two or more compositors are employed on the same piece of work, and one of them composes all his copy, so that there is no intervening matter between his copy and that in the hands of another of the companions who has followed him, he says, he has joined, or, he has set up close. Also, if a compositor be on a piece of work without a companion, and from any cause he be obliged to suspend composing one part of his copy, and to proceed with a succeeding part; then, when he has been enabled to compose this intervening part, and lias got it com¬ pleted, he says, he has joined, or, he has joined his matter., JOINTS. Tympan joints, and frisket joints— M. Justifiers. See Quotation Quadrats. JUSTIFYING. Spacing a line out so that it fits with a proper degree of tightness in the measure of the composing stick ; — placing a wood cut in a pasje, and filling up the vacancies with leads, scaleboards, quadrats, quotations, or furniture, so that when the form is locked up, the wood cut shall be fast, and the lines above and below it even;—fixing any other matter in a similar way in a page.—ith pressmen, putting cards into the head of a wooden press, and screwing it up until the pull be proper, is termed Justifying the Head, or Justfying the Pull. See Hard Pull. KNOCK UP BALLS. 429 Justifying the Head. This amounts to the same thing as justify¬ ing the pull, which see. Justifying Lines. See Composing. JUSTIFY THE PULL. Putting additional cards into the mortises of the cheeks of a press, or taking some out, as the case may require, in order to regulate the pull: for a small light form, the pressure requires to be comparatively slight; but for a large, solid form of small letters, it requires a heavy soaking pull to do justice to the work; in this case, additional cards are put into the mortises of the head. This refers only to the wooden press; for justifying the pull of iron presses, see under the respective articles. JUSTIFY A STICK ; viz. a composing stick. Screwing the slides of his composing stick to the measure wanted.— M. K.

KEEP OUT, is a caution either given to, or resolved on, by the com¬ positor, when there may be doubt of getting in his matter too fast for his counting off: wherefore he sets wide, to drive or keep out.— M.

A flat square hook, with a handle to put the fingers through in a transverse direction to the hook. Its use is to lift the forms out of the lye trough, after having brushed off the ink from the types, the furni¬ ture, and the chase. KNOCK UP. In the warehouse, is to place the sheets of each sig¬ nature of a work uniformly even at the edges upon each other, after they are taken down from the poles, and previously to their being piled away. The person who has this to do, takes a quantity of about two quires, (if it be a stout hard paper he may take a little more,) and holding it loosely at the edges with both hands, he bends the ends a little towards him, so that the paper shall form a curve; he then lifts it up a little from the table, and lets it drop upon its edge through his hands, — the curve giving the edge a little firmness, many of the sheets drop down into their places ; he repeats this two or three times, and will then, in letting it drop upon the table, bring the lower part nearer to him, so that the outside of the curve may strike first, and throw the sheets gradually up higher at the back; this he will also do two or three times; he then lets the further side rest upon the table, and shuffles the upper sheets gradually away from him, lifting the whole up, and letting the edges drop upon the table, three or four times; repeating these operations soon brings all the edges even, both at the ends and sides; he then lays this taking on one side, and repeats the operation with other takings, laying them on each other, till he has completed the whole. A soft flimsy paper takes more time in knocking up than a hard paper, as the sheets have not strength enough separately to be driven into their places by striking on the edges. KNOCK UP BALLS. To knock up balls is the term used for making balls: it is to cut the pelts to a proper size; to fill them with a 430 LAW AUTHORITIES. proper quantity of wool; to nail them to the ball stocks ; to trim them ; and to put them into a working condition. See Balls. KNOCK UP A LETTER. It sometimes happens with old letter, that a letter may be worn so low that it wilt not print well in a page; the workman then takes that letter out of the form, and holds the shank of it upon the side of the chase, and with the head of the shooting stick beats lightly upon the foot of the shank, till he have battered metal enough out of tlie shank, to raise it higher against paper; if it prove too high against paper, he rubs the bottom of the shank upon the side of the chase, to rub it down. Tliis operation seldom haiq)eus, unless another of the same sort of letter is wanting, and liard to come by : for else the compositor will bow tlie letter, and pop it into a waste box in his case, where he puts all nauglity tetters, that he may not be troubled with them another time. — d/. See Bow the Letteu. KOOFEE, Kutic, Cufic, Cuphic, or Oriental. Ancient .Arabic ; it was called Cuphic, from the town of Couphah, built on the Euphrates. See Ahabic. L. L.ATIN.

In Moxon s time botli the letter board and the paper board were made alike, similar to the present paper board ; and LETTER FOUNDERS. 441 he strongly recommended to have the board made of one piece, without a joint: they are now different from each other. The letter board is made of two deals, about an inch thick, and the smallest size allows a demy chase to lie upon it without hanging over the edges ; the deals are joined together on the under side by two dovetailed tapering tongues inserted into dovetailed tapering grooves, the contrary way to each other ; and these tongues project below the bottom, so as to serve as feet for the board, to a depth rather more than equal to the height of letter, and allow the board to be placed upon a bulk, or upon another letter board, upon which pages or small jobs are placed, without the bottom of the board touching the face of the type. If the boards shrink, or the joint opens, the aperture can be immediately closed up again, by striking the edges with a mallet, and driving the tongues up tight. The usual sizes of letter boards in a printing office are Demy and Royal; but when works on larger paper are printed, it is necessary to have boards of a corresponding size. The Demy boards are 26 inches by 22; the Royal 30 inches by 26. LETTER BRUSH. A brush used in composing rooms, something like a polishing brush for shoes, but not quite so large; with which to brush dust off forms before they are taken to the proof press to have a proof pulled, and befoi’e they are taken into the press room to be worked. Every press ought also to have one, that if any dust, or particles of dirt, get upon the face of the letter, they may be brushed off. LETTER FOUNDERS. By the Act of the 39th of George 3. cap. 79. s. 25. it is enacted, “ That from and after the Expiration of Forty Days after the passing of this Act, every Person carrying on the Business of a Letter Founder, or Maher or Seller of Types for Printing, or of Printing Presses, shall cause Notice of his or her Intention to carry on such Business to be delivered to the Clerk of the Peace of the County, Stewartry, Riding, Division, City, Borough, Town, or Place, where such Person shall propose to carry on such Business, or his Deputy, in the Form prescribed in the Schedule to this Act annexed ; and such Clerk of the Peace, or his Deputy, shall, and he is hereby authorized and required thereupon to grant a Certificate in the Form also prescribed in the said Schedule, for which such Clerk of the Peace, or his Deputy, shall receive a Fee of One Shilling, and no more, and shall file such Notice, and transmit an attested Copy thereof to one of his Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State ; and every Person who shall, after the Expiration of the said Forty Days, carry on such Business, or make or sell any Type for Printing, or Printing Press, without having given such Notice, and obtained such Certificate, shall forfeit and lose the Sum of Twenty Pounds. s. 26. “ And be it further enacted.

LIBELS, btaiphemoui anti leditioui. Act 60 Geo. 3. cap. 8. — For the more effectual Precention and Funiihinent of liluiphemous and Seditious Libels, Commences by declaring that it is expedient to make more cHectual ]>rovision for tlic punishment of bla.sphemous and seditious libels ; and then proceeds to enact, “ That from and after the passing of the iVct, in every Case in which any Verdict or Judgment by default shall be hud against any Person fur composing, printing, or publishing any blasphemous Liliel, or any seditious Libel, tending to bring into hatred or contempt the Person of His Majesty, Ills Heirs or Successors or the Uegent, or the Govermnent and (.'onstitution of the United Kingdom ns by Law establisheil, or either House of Parli.s- nient, or to excite His Majesty’s Subjects to attempt the .Mterutiun of any Matter in Church or .Stale as by Law established, otherwise than by lawful .Means U shall be law¬ ful for the Judge, or the Court before whom or in which such Verdict shall have Iteen given, or the Court in which such Judgment by default shall be had, to make an Order fop'the Seizure and carrying away and detaining in safe Custody, in such Manner ns shall be directed in such Order, all Copies of the Libel which shall be in the Posse.ssion of the Person against whom such Verdict or Judgment shall have bis?n had, or in the Possession of any other Person named in the Order for his Use;

and such Offender may be tried, either before any Justices of Assize, Oyer and Terminer, Great Sessions, or Gaol Delivery, for the County, City, Liberty, Borough, or Place where such Offender shall be apprehended and taken, or where he or she was sentenced to Banishment; and the Clerk of Assize, Clerk of the Peace, or other Clerk or Officer of the Court having the Custody of the Records where such Order of Banishment shall have been made, shall, wdien thereunto required on*His Majesty’s Behalf, make out and give a Certificate in Writing, signed by him, containing the Effect and Substance only (omitting the formal Part) of every Indictment and Con¬ viction of such Offender, and of the Order for his or her Banishment, to the Justices of Assize, Oyer and Terminer, Great Sessions, or Gaol Delivery, where such Offender shall be indicted, for which Certificate Six Shillings and Eight Pence, and no more, shall be paid, and which Certificate shall be sufficient Proof of the Conviction and Order for Banishment of any such Offender.” The remaining clauses relate to the mode of proceeding in case of former conviction, limitation of actions, &c. 11 G. 4. & 1 W. 4. c. 73. “ An act to repeal so much of an Act of the Sixtieth Year of His late Majesty King George the Third, for the more effectual Prevention and Punishment of blasphemous and seditious Libels, as relates to the Sentence of Banishment for the Second Offence; and to provide some further Remedy against the Abuse of publishing Libels. “ Whereas by an Act passed in the Sixtieth Year of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third, intituled An Act for the more effectual Prevention and Punish¬ ment of blasphemous and seditious Libels, it was amongst other things enacted, that if any Person should, after the passing of that Act, be legally convicted of having com¬ posed, printed, or published any blasphemous Libel or any such seditious Libel as in the said Act is before mentioned, and should after being so convicted offend a second Time, and be thereof legally convicted before any Commission of Oyer and Terminer, or Gaol Delivery, or in His Majesty’s Court of King’s Bench, such Person might on such second Conviction be adjudged, at the Discretion of the Court, either to suffer such Punishment as might by Law be inflicted in Cases of high Misdemeanour, or to be banished from the United Kingdom and all other Parts of His Majesty’s Dominions for such Term of Years as the Court in which such Conviction should take place should order : And whereas it is expedient to repeal so much of the said Act as relates to the 444 LltlATURES, Sentence of Banishment for the Second Offence ; Be it therefore enacted hy the King’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Autho¬ rity of the same, That so much and such Parts of the said Act as relate to the Sentence of Banishment for the Second Offence be and the same is hereby wholly repealed.” It hath been ruled tliat the finding a libel on a bookseller’s shelf is a publication of it by the bookseller; and that it is no excuse to say that the servant took it into the shop without the master’s knowledge; for the law presumes the master to be acquainted with what the servant does.

When a work is nearly completed, and perfect copies are required before the whole number can be worked off’ at press, it is cus¬ tomary when all the matter has been composed, and there is not con¬ venience to lay every form on at a different press, to print short numbers of each, in order to make perfect books as soon as possible ; thus, if tliere be 3000 cojiies of a work printing, 250 of each of tlie few last sheets may be worked, and when the pressmen have printed this number of one form and taken it off the press for the purpose of laying on another form, it is said they lift, or, they have lifted. This frequently takes place in periodical works, such as magazines, reviews, &c.; ami also occa¬ sionally when a superior proof is wanted, or two or three copies of any thing particular are reijuired, that will not admit of waiting till a jiress is off with its regular number : in these latter instances, the jiressmeii en- tleavour to pull them without the tymjians, with a few sheets of juoof paper over the form, that they may not disturb their overlays and making ready ; and tlicy mark tlie ijuoins wliich secured their form on the press, tliat tliey may replace it exactly in its situation with as little waste of time and paper as possible. In the warehouse, each separate portion of printed paper, whether it consists of five or six sheets or more, that is placed upon the poles to dry, is termed a lift. LlGATUllES. Two or more letters joined together, and cast on the same shank, arc in a printing ollice called Ligatures. The ligatures now used are few in number, having been reduced to ae, ff, ffi, IH, fi, H, and ce ; within the last thirty years we had, in addition, 6f, as also fb, fii, li, fl<, fl, IT, and ll, which are now discarded, in consequence of our confining ourselves entirely to the s.

I do not think it was an improvement to change the shape of the which, till the alteration, was really a ligature, being c and t joined together; the modern character has no meaning in it, neither the Koman A' nor the Italic Earl Stanhope proposed to abolish the jiresent ligatures, by making the f more upright without being kerned, so as to admit an i, an 1, or another f after it, and to introduce other ligatures, or, as he termed them, ‘ logotypes,' that more frequently occur, viz. th, in, an, re, se, to, of, and on.

LONG PRIMER. 445 LITERAL ERRORS. By literal erroi’s in printing, are understood the mistakes of the compositors in single letters only, viz. the taking up a wrong letter, or inverting a right letter; the term is never applied to either outs or doubles. LITERARY PROPERTY. The Libraries which are entitled to claim copies of new publications under the act of 6 & 7 W. 4. c. 110. are — 1. The King’s Library, since transferred to the British Museum. 2. The Library of the University of Oxford, commonly called the Bodleian. 3. The Library of the University of Cambridge. 4. The Library of the Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh. 5. The Library of the College of the Holy Trinity in Dublin. 'i'he two English Universities have the following privileges: — 1. The copyright in all works bequeathed to, or acquired by them, is vested in them in perpetuity, so long as the works are printed at their own presses. 2. They have (in common with the King’s Printers in England, Scot¬ land, and Ii’eland,) the exclusive privilege of printing Bibles and Prayer Books; and an exemption from the duty on paper used for them. [The Bibles and Prayer Books printed in Scotland and Ireland, are not allowed to be sold in England.] 3. They have the same privilege (in common with the King’s Printer in England) of printing the Statutes of the Realm. 4. They have an exemption from the duty on paper used in books for the purposes of classical instruction, and in all works in the learned languages, printed at their presses. 5. They have 500^. per annum paid to each of them by the nation, for the purpose of enabling them to assist poor scholars and fellows in printing their works. The four Universities of Scotland, and Trinity College, Dublin, have the same advantage with respect to the perpetuity of their copyrights as the English Universities have. — (The printing of Bibles and Prayer Books, in both these countries, appears to be exclusively the right of the King’s Printer.) They have also an exemption from the duty on paper used in all works of classical instruction, and in the learned languages, printed at their presses.—The Scotch Universities do not appear to have ever made use of this privilege in the manner that Oxford and Cambridge have done; but by naming some individual as Printer to the University, have communicated to him the advantage derived from it. LOCKING UP. The tightening of the quoins round a form with the mallet and shooting stick, to enable the compositor to lift it from the im¬ posing stone, and that it may be moved about without the types or the furniture being displaced by such moving ; as also that the form may be secure when working at press, so that the types do not draw out with beating. — See Imposing.

That from and after the passing of this Act, if any Person shall print or publish, or cause to be printed or published, any Advertisement or other Notice of or relating to the drawing or in¬ tended drawing of any Foreign Lottery, or of any Lottery or Lotteries not authorized by some Act or Acts of Parliament, or if any Person shall print or publish, or cause to be printed or itublished, any Advertisement or other Notice of or for the Sale of any Ticket or Tickets, Chance or Chances, or of any Share or Shares of any Ticket or I’ickets, Chance or Chances of or in any such Lottery or Lotteries as aforesaid, or any Adver¬ tisement or Notice concerning or in any Alanner relating to any such Lottery or I.otteries, or any Ticket, Chance, or Share, Tickets, Chances, or Shares thereof or therein, every Person so oflending shall for every such OH’ence forfeit the .Sum of Fifty Pounds, to be recovered, with full Costs of Suit, by Action of Debt, Bill, Plaint, or Information in any of IIis Alajcsty’s Courts of Record in treslminster or Dublin respectively, or in the Court of Session in Scotland; one Aloiety thereof to the use of Ilis Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, and the other Aloiety thereof to the Use of the Person who shall inform or sue for the same.” LOW CASE.

The case iii which the small letters of an alphabet, the spaces, and quadrats are laid ; it is placed upon the frame imme¬ diately below the fore edge of the upper case. See Case. LUG. When balls stick together in distributing they are said to lug; they then diH'use the ink more equally and thinly on the surface, and make better work : they also retain on their surface particles of dust, or other small substances, and do not part with them to the letter in the form, which is a great advantage. Composition Balls, when too soft, will lug so much in distributing as to tear the composition and spoil the ball; when this is the case, they require to be placed in a dry situation for a short time, and exposed to a draught of air, which evaporates the super¬ fluous moisture, and brings them into good condition ; when time cannot be allowed for this mode of cure, sponging the surface with spirits of turpentine will promote the evaporation, and be of great service. See Flaring Balls. LYE. The lye used for the purpose of cleaning a form is a solution of alkali in water; it ought to be made of the best pearl ash. The usual proportion is one pound of pearl ash to a gallon of soft water; it should be stirred up with a stick till the alkali dissolves, which soon takes place. It is generally kept in a large jar, with a cover to it, which some master printers lock; but more frequently the cover is loose for the pressmen to have free access to it; the cover should however be kept on, to prevent dust and dirt getting into the jar. If hard water be used, it will require a greater quantity of pearl ash ; as the acid in the water will combine with some of the alkali to neutralise it, which of course will have the effect of making the lye weaker than if soft water, with which there is no such combination, had been used. An intelligent pressman once informed me, that in the country he had LYE. 447 frequently made lye, by boiling together a peck of wood ashes and nearly a quarter of a peck of quicklime, in a pailful and a half of soft water, and afterwards straining the decoction for use. This is, in fact, soap lye, which is made caustic by the quicklime : lye from the soap boilers has indeed of late years been used by many master printers in the metropolis; but it requires to be kept constantly covered in order to exclude the air, which, when the lye is exposed, combines with it and renders it mild, thus destroying its power. I have always found that this lye affects the hands and makes them sore, as if chapped, when washed in it to take off ink. In the choice of pearl ash the following table, from Vauquelin, may be found useful, which shows all the substances contained in six kinds of potash. Real Potash. Sulphate of Potash. Muriate of Potash. Insoluble Residuum. Carbonic Acid and Water. 1152 of Russian Potash - 772 65 5 56 254 = 1152 1152 of American Potash 857 154 20 2 119 = 1152 1152 of Pearl Ash - - 754 80 4 6 308 = 1152 1152 of Treves Potash - 720 165 44 24 199 = 1152 1152 of Dantzic Potash - 603 152 14 79 304 = 1152 1152 of Vosges Potash - 444 148 510 34 304 = 1152 There is evidently an error in this statement as to the component parts of the last article, the Vosges potash, which appears to be with respect to the quantity of the muriate of potash; but the table shows that the American potash is by far the best, and the Dantzic potash the worst of the six analysed. The following observations from Kirwan on Manures, may also be serviceable, particularly to printers who are so situated as to find it necessary to make their lye from the ashes of vegetables. “ Alkaline salts are of great importance in several arts, the proportion of ashes afforded by different vegetables, and that of alkali by the ashes of each sort of vegetable, has been accurately attended to : the following are the best authenticated results of the experiments made with this view. “ One thousand pounds of the following vegetables, perfectly dry, and burned in a clean chimney and open fire, afforded the quantity of ashes, and saline matter, exhibited in the annexed tables.

Thus though fumitory gives tlie greatest weight of saline product from a given weight of the dry vegetable, yet from a given weiglit of ashes wormwood produces above double the weight of saline matter. In Yorkshire the women use the ashes of the ash tree to make a lye to scour their pewter dishes aiul plates, in preference to the ashes of any otKcr wood; as this is the result of experience, I should be led to sup¬ pose that they contain a great proportional quantity of pearl ash. EVE BRUSH. The brush used with lye to remove the ink that adheres to the types, the furniture, and the chase, after a form has been worked otf, as also after proofs have been pulled. It is about nine or ten inches long by three inches broad, and the hairs are nearly two inches long. LYE TllOUdll. The lye trough is square and shallow, lined with lead, and its upper edge is bound with iron to preserve it from injury, which woidd otherwise arise from con¬ cussion when a form is lifted into it; there is also a loose board laid in it for the protection of the bottom. It is sus¬ pended on a frame by two centres, as here represented. There is always some lye kept in this trough; and when a form has been worked oft’, it is laid in it, and the ink is brushed from the face of the letter, the furniture, and chase with the lye, previous to rinsing it with water. It is usually made capable of contain¬ ing a royal chase. .M. MACHINES. Cylindrical printing, or, as it is generally termed. Machine printing, is a new mode of obtaining impressions from types, the introduction of which took place in the year 1814. It has caused a great revolution in the art, from the facilities which it affords for printing sheets of paper of a size of which no press worked by manual .labour is capable, nor, were it capable, is the strength of one man equal MACHINES. 449 to the exertion requisite for the pressure necessary to produce a re¬ spectable impression. In addition to this advantage of printing sheets of such larger dimensions, it possesses the power of multiplying impres¬ sions so rapidly as to appear like the work of magic. This may seem hyperbolical; but the average rate of working at a press for common work, that is the general run of book work, with two men, one to ink the types, and the other to work the press, is but 250 copies an hour, while a machine will produce 1,250 copies in the same time; and con¬ siderably more might be obtained, were not its powers restrained by the limited human means of feeding it with paper, it being found by ex¬ perience that the number stated is the extent to which one person could supply it, he having regard to laying on the sheets evenly, so as to pre¬ serve a regular margin : but this speed was not deemed sufficient to meet the wants that were felt, and the Times newspaper is now printed at a machine where the paper is laid on at four places, one form of which, consisting of four pages, is printed at the astonishing rate of 4,320 an hour at its ordinary rate of working, a fact which I have seen and ascer¬ tained myself, by counting its motions with a seconds watch in my hand. Mr. Richard Taylor has also a similar Machine at which the Weekly Dispatch is printed. Considering what has been done, I cannot see a reason why the paper should not be supplied at six or eight places, if found necessary, so as to increase the number printed to 6,000 or 8,000 in an hour; as the wonder ceases when we remember that steam is the moving power. Of the comparative merits of the Machine and the Press I shall speak subsequently. As the details of the invention are not generally known, I will give some account of them, letting the parties speak for themselves, so far as I have been able to procure their own statements. The first is the Specification of the Patent granted to Mr. William Nicholson ; the next. Observations on the Art of Printing Books, &c., written by him, and published in his own Journal, which clearly describe the present ma¬ chines and inking apparatus. This specification, and the other details, with the engravings, will render it unnecessary for me to enter into a lengthened description of these machines, or do more than merely state that the form is imposed in the usual manner, laid upon a horizontal table, which travels under a cylinder covered with woollen cloth, ad¬ justed so as to have a proper bearing upon the types in order to pro¬ duce an impression, and that the inking apparatus is at one end, con¬ sisting of small rollers, which take and distribute ink upon another table, for each impression, when the form in travelling passes under one of them to receive its coating of ink. “ Specification of the Patent granted to Mr. William Nicholson, of New North-Street, Red Lion-Square; for a Machine or Instrument for printing on Paper, Linen, Cotton, Woollen, and other Articles, in a more neat, cheap, and accurate Manner, than is effected by the Machines now in use. Dated April 29, 1790. “ To all to whom these presents shall come, &c. Now know ye that, in compliance with the said proviso, I the said William Nicholson do hereby declare, that ray said in¬ vention is described in the plan hereunto annexed, and the description thereof hereunder written, and in manner following ; that is to say, my invention consists in three parts or particulars; namely, first, the manner or method of making, preparing, or placing, the original model, models, casts, types, engravings, carvings, or sculptures from which the impression is to be made. Secondly, in applying the ink, or colouring-matter, to such models, casts, types, engravings, carvings, or sculptures. And, thirdly, in taking off the impression, or transferring the ink, or colouring-matter, from such models, easts, types, engravings, carvings, or sculptures, to the paper, cloth, or other material upon which it is intended it should remain. 450 MACHINES. “ I. In the first place then, I not only avail myself of all the methods of making, preparing, and placing, the original models, casts, types, engravings, carvings, or sculp¬ tures which have hitherto been known or used in printing, and do myself make use of them in conjunction with my newly-invented method of applying the ink, or colouring- matter, to such original models, casts, types, engravings, carvings, or sculptures, and also with my newly-invented method of taking off the impressions, but I do likewise make, put together, and arrange them in a new manner, as occasion may require ; that is to say, “II. I make my moulds, punches, and matrices, for casting letters, in the same manner, and with the same materials, as other letter-founders do, excepting that, insteiul of leaving a space in the mould for the stem of one letter only, 1 leave spaces for two, three, or more letters, to be cast at one pouring of the metal; and at the lower ex¬ tremity of each of those spaces (which communicate by a common groove at top) I place a matrix, or piece of copper with the letter punched upon its face in the usual way. And moreover, I bring the stem of ray letters to a due form and finish, not only by rubbing it on a stone, and scraping it when arranged in the finishing-stick, but like¬ wise by scraping it on one or more sides, in a finishing-stick whose hollowed part is less deep at the inner than the outer side. I call that side of the groove which is nearest the face of the disposed letter, the outer side; and the purpose accomplished by this method of scraping is, that of rendering the tail of the letter gradually smaller the more remote it is, or farther from the face. Such letter may be firmly imposed upon a cylindrical surface, in the same manner as common letter is imposed upon a flat stone. I specify and affirm that the above described methods of casting two or more letters at once, and of chamfering or sloping their tails, are parts of my new invention. “III. I impose or dispose my letter for printing in the common manner, to be used in conjunction with my newly-invented improvements. And I likewise impose it in frames or chases adapted to the surface of a cylinder of wood, or metal, and fa.sten it to the said surface by screws, or wedges, or in grooves, or by other methods well known to'workmen; ami this imposing letter upon a cylinder I state and affirm to be part of my new invention. “ IV. 1 cut, carve, engrave, cha.se, cast, model or make, (in the usual manner of per¬ forming those operations,) blocks, forms, plates, types, or originals, to be used for print¬ ing, either of wood, metal, or other materials ; and these 1 use in conjunction with my other newly-invented improvements. I likewise, for other kinds of work, do fasten with glue, cement, serews, wetlges, or by other known methotls, such blocks, forms, plates, types, or originals, as aforesaid, to the surface of a cylinder. 1 likewise, for other kinds of work, tlo cut, carve, engrave, chase, cast, model or make, blocks, forms, plates, types, or originals, ns aforesaid, of a cylindrical form, of wood, metal, or other materials. .\nd 1 state and allirm that this disposition of blocks, forms, plates, types, or originals, upon a cylinder, and also that the cutting, carving, engraving, chasing and ciisting, modelling or making, blocks, plates, types, or originals, of a cylindrical form, as aforesaid, are parts of my new invention. “ V. In the second place, I distribute or apply Uie ink, or colouring-matter, upon the surface, or in the interstices, of the blocks, forms, plates, types, or orig'mals afore¬ said, by causing the surface of a cylinder, smeared or wetted with the colouring-matter, to roll over, or successively apply itself to, the surfaces of the said hlock.s, forms, plates, types, or originals, of whatever figure or construction such blocks, forms, plates, types, or originals, may be. Or else 1 cause the said blocks, forms plates, types of originals, successively to apply themselves to the said cylinder. I call the said smeared or wetted cylinder, the colouring-cylinder. Its surface is covered with leather, or the dressed skins which printers call pelts, or else it is covered with woollen, or linen, or cotton cloth. When the colour to be used is thin, as in calico-printing, and in almost every case, the covering is supported by a firm eka-stic stuffing, consisting of hair, or wool, or woollen cloth wrapped one or more folds round the cylinder. V hen the covering consists of woollen cloth, the stuffing must be defended by leather, or oilskin, to prevent its imbibing too much colour, and by that means losing its elasticity. It is absolutely nece.ssary that the colouring-matter be evenly distributed over the surface of the cylinder ; for this purpose, when the colour is thick and stiff, as in letter-press printing, 1 apply two, three, or more small cylinders, called distributing-rollers, longitudinally against the colouring-cylinders, so that they may be turned by the motion of the latter; and the effect of this application is, that every lump or mass of colour which may be redundant, or irregularly placed upon the face of the colouring-cylinder, will be pressed, spread, and partly taken up, and carried by the small rollers to the other parts of the colouring-cylinder ; so that this last will very speedily acquire and preserve an even face of colour. But if the colouring-matter be thinner, I do not apply more than one or two of these distributing rollers; and, if it be very thin, I apply an even blunt MACHINES. 451 edge of metal, or wood, or other material, or a straight brush, or both of these last, against the colouring-cylinder, for the purpose of rendering its colour uniform. “ VI. When I apply colour to an engraved plate, or cylinder, or apply the colour through the interstices of a perforated pattern, or cylinder, as in the manufacturing of some kinds of paper-hangings and floor-cloths, I use a cylinder entirely covered with hair or bristles, in the manner of a brush. “ VII. The whole of the manipulations or practices described in the two preceding paragraphs (numbers V. and VI.) are parts of my invention. “VIII. In the third place, I perform all my impressions by the action of a cylinder or cylindrical surface; that is to say, I cause the paper, or cloth, or other material intended to be printed upon, (and previously damped if necessary,) to pass between two cylinders, or segments of cylinders, in equal motion; one of which has the block, form, plate, assemblage of types, or originals, attached to, or forming part of, its sur¬ face, and the other is faced with cloth or leather, and serves to press the paper, cloth, or other material, as aforesaid, so as to take off an impression of the colour previously applied. Or otherwise, I cause the block, form, plate, assemblage of types, or originals, previously coloured, to pass in close and successive pressure or contact with the paper, or cloth, or other material, wrapped round a cylinder with woollen. Or otherwise, I cause the last mentioned cylinder, with the paper, or cloth, or other material wrapped round it, to roll along the face of the block, form, plate, assemblage of types, or originals, previously coloured. Or otherwise, I cause a cylinder having the block, form, plate, assemblage of types, or originals, attached to, or forming part of, its surface, to roll along the surface of the paper, cloth, or other material intended to be printed, and previously spread out upon an even plane covered with cloth or leather; the said cylinder being supplied with colour by means of a colouring-cylinder herein before de¬ scribed, and herein after more particularly to be noticed. “ IX. The foregoing description shews the nature of my invention; which may be applied to a great variety of uses, and constructed or put together in a great variety of forms. Its uses consist in the printing of books in general, the printing of paper-hang¬ ings, floor-cloths, cottons, linens, woollens, silks, ribands, laces, leather, skin, and every other flexible material whatever. And its form or construction, being no essential part of the invention, may without diflSculty be obtained and carried into effect, by any workman possessed of common skill and ability. Nevertheless, as there may be some artists of such a moderate capacity as to find the foregoing instructions not suflficient to enable them to construct my machines, I shall proceed to exhibit drawings, and describe several methods of constructing them. But, at the same time, I think it pertinent to take notice, that as the following constructions cannot be exclusively claimed by me by virtue of his Majesty’s letters patent granted unto me, excepting so far as the same include or contain my new improvements and inventions, so, on the other hand, I do not exhibit the same as the only practical methods of carrying my invention into effect, but I claim the general and universal application of the principles discovered and brought into practice by me, as before described; and do here proceed to exhibit and describe certain specific applications of those principles, chiefly from a conviction that it is my duty to render this present specification clear and intelligible by every means in my power. And moreover, since in the following applications or particular methods there are, and may be found, several contrivances resulting from a considerable degree of deliberation, labour, and expence, and tending to facilitate the practice of my said in¬ ventions, I do not by any means hereby exclude the following descriptions and drawings from my present specification; for I do not consider them as being merely illustrative of the general principles herein before described and explained, but do hereby assert and maintain, that all and every parts and part of the machines herein after described, which have not hitherto been used as parts of some other machine, or in combination directed to the accomplishment of the like purpose of printing, are stated and claimed by me as parts of my said invention; for the exclusive enjoyment of which, as well as of every other part of the said invention hereby specified by me, I claim all protection and every advantage which, by his Majesty’s letters patent, I may lawfully be en¬ titled to. “ Explanation of the annexed Drawings. “ Fig. 1. represents a printing-press, more especially applicable to the printing of sheets of paper, or books. A. and E. represent two cylinders running or turning in a strong frame of wood, or metal, or both. The cylinder A. is faced with woollen cloth, and is capable of being pressed with more or less force upon HI, by means of the lever M. HI is a long table, which is capable of moving endways, backwards and forwards, upon the rollers E and K. The roller A acts upon this table by means of a cog-wheel, or by straps, so as to draw it backwards and forwards by the motion of its handle L. 452 MACHINES. The table is kept In the same line by grooves on Its sides, which contain the cylinder A. D is a chase, containing letter set up and imposed. B b a box, containing a colouring-roller, with its distributing-rollers CC ; it is supported by the arm N. O is a cylinder faced with leather, and lying across an Ink-block ; this cylinder is fixed by the middle to a bended lever movable on the joint Q. S " The action. When D, or the letter, is drawn beneath the cylinder B, it receives ink ; and when it has passed into the position R, a workman places or turns down a tympan with paper upon it ; (this tympan dilTers in no respect from tlie usual one, except that its hinge opens sideways;) it then proceeds to pass under the cylinder A, which presses it successively through its whole surface. On the other side, at S, the workman takes off the paper, and leaves tlic tympan up. 'lliLs motion causes the cylinder B to revolve continually, and consequently renders its inked surface very uni¬ form, by the action of its distributing-rollers CC; and, when the table has passed to its extreme distance in the direction now spoken of, the arm G touches the lever P, and raises the cylinder O off the ink-block, by which means it dabs against one of the distributing- rollers, and gives it a small quantity of ink. Tlie returning motion of the table carries the letter again under the roller B, which again inks it, and the process of printing another sheet goes on as before. N. B. The table in this drawing is not quite long enough in its dimensions, compared with the inking-roller. “ Fig.2. is another printing-press: in this, B is the inking-roller; A is a cylinder, having the letter imposed upon its surface; and E is a cylinder, having its uniform surface covered with woollen cloth : these three cylinders are connected, either by cogs or straps at the edges of each. The machine is uniformly turned in one direction by the handle L. Tlie workman applies a sheet of paper to the surface of E, where it is retained, either by points in the usual manner, or by the apparatus to be de¬ scribed in treating of Fig. 4. The paper passes between E and A, and receives an impression; after which the workman takes it off, and ap¬ plies another sheet; and in the mean time MACHINES. 453 the letter on the surface of A passes round against the surface of B, and receives ink during the rotation of B. The distributing-rollers CC do their office as in the machine Fig. 1. ; and once in every revolution the tail F, affixed to B, raises the inking-piece G, so as to cause it to touch one of the distributing-rollers, and supply it with ink. In this way therefore the repeated printing of sheet after sheet goes on. “ Fig. 3. is a printing-press, more particularly adapted to print cottons, silks, paper- hangings, or other articles which run of a considerable length.” “ Fig. 4. is a printing-press, chiefly of use for books and papers. 1 2 3 4 represents a long table, with ledges on each side; so that the two cylinders A and B can run backwards and forwards without any side shake. In one of these ledges is placed a strip or plate of metal cut into teeth which lock into correspondent teeth in each cylinder; by which means the two cylinders roll along, without the possibility of changing the relative positions of their surfaces at any determinate part of the table. This may also be effected by straps, and may indeed be accomplished, with tolerable accuracy, by the mere rolling of the cylinders on the smooth or flat ledges without any provision. A is the printing-cylinder, covered with woollen cloth, and B is the inking- cylinder, with its distributing-rollers. The table may be divided into four compart¬ ments, marked with a thicker bounding-line than the rest, and numbered 1 2 3 4. At 1 is placed a sheet of paper ; at 2 is the form or chase, containing letter set and im¬ posed ; at 3 is an apparatus for receiving the printed sheet; and 4 is employed in no other use than as a place of standing for the carriage E, after it has passed through one operation, and when it takes ink at F. Its action is as follows; the carriage is thrust forward by the workman, and as the roller A passes over the space numbered 1, it takes up the sheet of paper previously laid there, while the roller B runs over the form and inks the letter. The sheet of paper, being wrapped round the cylinder A, is pressed against the form as that cylinder proceeds, and consequently it receives an impression. When A arrives at the space numbered 3, it lets go the sheet of paper, while the pro¬ minent part of the carriage, G, strikes the lever P, and raises the inking-piece, which applies itself against one of the distributing-rollers. In this manner therefore the cylinder A returns empty, and the cylinder B inked, and in the mean time the work¬ man places another sheet of paper ready in the space numbered 1. Thus it is that the operation proceeds in the printing of one sheet after another. “ The preceding description is not incumbered with an account of the apparatus by which the paper is taken up and laid down. This may be done in several ways : Figs. 9 and 10 represent one of the methods. D E is a lever, moving on the centre pin C, and having its end D pressed upwards by the action of the spring G. The shoulder which contains the pin C is fixed in another piece F, which is inserted in a groove in the sur¬ face of the cylinder A; (Fig.4;) so that it is capable of moving in and out, in a direction parallel to the axis of that cylinder. As that cylinder proceeds, it meets a pin in the table; which, (letter P, Fig. 9,) acting on the inclined plane at the other end of the lever, throws the whole inwards, in the position represented in Fig. 10; in which case the extremity D shoots inwards, and applies itself against the side of the cylinder. P B 454 MACHINES. “In Fig. 11 is a representation of part of the table ; the dotted square represents a sheet of paper, and the four small shaded squares denote holes in the board, with pins standing beside them. When the lever DE (Fig. 10) shoots forward, it is situated in one of these holes, and advances under the edge of the paper, which consequently it presses and retains against the cylinder with its extremity D. Nothing more remains to be said respecting the taking up, but that the cylinder is provided with two pair of these cla-sps or levers, which are so fixed as to correspond with the four holes represented in Fig. 11. It will be easy to understand how the paper is deposited in the compart¬ ment No. 3. (Fig. 4.) A pin P, (Fig. 10,) rising out of the platform or table, acts agaiitst a pin E, projecting sideways out of the lever, and must of course draw the slider and its lever to the original position ; the paper consequently will be let go, and its disengagement is rendered certain by an apparatus fixed in the compartment numbered 3, (Fig. 4,) of exactly the same kind as that upon the cylinder, and which by the action of a pin duly placed in the surface of the cylinder A, takes the paper from the cylinder in precisely the same manner as that cylinder originally took it up in the compartment numbered 1. (Fig. 4.) ' “ Figs. 5, 6, and 7, represent a simpler apparatus for accomplishing tlic same purpose. If All ]ih (Fig. 7) be supposed to represent a thick ]ilate of metal of a cir¬ cular form, with two pins A and IJ proceeding sideways or perpendicularly out of its plane, and diametrically opposite to each other, and G another pin proceeding in the direction of that plane, then it is obvious that any force applied to the pin A, so as to jiress it into the position a, (by turning the plate on its axis or centre X,) will at the same time cause the pin G to acquire the position p; and, on the otlicr hand, when U is at b, or the dotted representation of the side-pin, if any pressure l>c applied to restore its original position at H, the pin p will return Uack to G. Now the figures 5 and 6 exhibit an apparatus of this kind, applied to the cylinder A ; and tliat cylinder, by rolling over the pins F and />. properly fixed in the table to re-act upon the apparatus, will cause its prominent part G, either to apply to the cylinder and clasp the paper, or to rise up and let it go. The compartment numbered 3 ( Fig. 4) must of course have an apparatus of the same kind, to be acted upon by pins from in order that it may take the paper from that cylinder. 1 “ Tliere is one other circumstance belonging to this machine which remains to be explained. When the c.arriagc E (Fig. 4) goes out in the direction of the numbers 1 2 3 4, both rollers, A and B, press the form of letter in their passage ; but in their MACHINES. 455 return back again the roller A, having no paper upon it, would itself become soiled, by- taking a faint impression from the letter, if it were not prevented from touching it; the manner of effecting this may be understood from Fig. 12. The apparatus there repre¬ sented is fixed upon the outside of the carriage E, near the lower corner, in the vicinity of the roller A ; the whole of this projects sideways beyond the ledge of the table, except the small truck or wheel B. The irregularly triangular piece, which is shaded by the stroke of the pen, carries this wheel, and also a catch movable on the axis or pin E. The whole piece is movable on the pin A, which connects it to the carriage. C D, or the part which is shaded by dotting, is a detent which serves to hold the piece down in a certain position. It may be observed, that both the detent and the triangular piece are furnished each with a claw, which holds in one direction, but trips or yields in the other, like the jacks of a harpsicord, or resembling certain pieces used in clock and watch making, as is clearly represented in the drawing. These claws over-hang the side of the table, and their effect is as follows. There is a pin C ( Fig. 4) between the compartments of the table numbered 2 and 3, but which is marked F in Fig. 12, where G H represents the table. In the outward run of the carriage these claws strike that pin, but with no other effect than that they yield for an instant, and as instantly resume their original position by the action of their respective slender back-springs. When the carriage returns, the claw of the detent indeed strikes the pin, but with as little effect as before, because its derangement is instantly removed by the action of the back-spring of the detent itself; but, when the claw of the triangular piece takes the pin, the whole piece is made to revolve on its axis or pin A, the wheel B is forced down, so as to lift that end of the carriage, and the detent, catching on the piece at C, prevents the former position from being recovered. The consequence of this is, that the carriage runs upon the truck B, (and its correspondent truck on the opposite side,) instead of the cylinder A, which is too much raised to take the letter, and soil itself; but, as soon as the end of the carriage has passed clear of the letter, another pin R (Fig. 4) takes the claw of the detent, and draws it off the triangular piece ; at which instant the cylinder A sub¬ sides to its usual place, and performs its functions as before. This last pin R does not affect the claw of the triangular piece, because it is placed too low ; and the claw of the detent is made the longest, on purpose that it may strike this pin. “ Fig. 8 represents an instrument for printing floor- cloths, paper-hangings, and the like, with stiff paint and a brush.” “ Lastly, I must take notice, that in these and every other of my machines, as well as in every machine whatever, the power may be wind, water, steam, animal strength, or any other natural change capable of producing motion ; and that the mechanism by which such powers may be applied to produce a regular unceasing, or an intermitting, motion, as circumstances may require, may be used with these machines, though I have held it totally unnecessary either to specify or annex those methods. The materials, the adjustments, the fittings, and that degree of accuracy necessary to the perfection of every machine, have likewise made no part of my specification, because every workman must know that no mechanism can be completed without a due attention to these well- known particulars.

The first and most ancient consists in making the traces successively by a brush, a pen, or other in¬ strument. This is design, painting, or writing. In the latter methods, either the whole or the greater part of the figures are made by the action or pressure of an original pattern against the material intended to he written or painted upon. It is the art of printing. The colouring is either deposited from the face of prominent parts of the original form, which is usually called a block or type ; or else it is pressed from cavities cut in the face of the original, which in this case is called an engraved plate. Most books are printed from original patterns, in relief; and most of the imitations of paintings are performed by means of engravings. These arts are most frequently dis¬ tinguished by the names of letter-press and copper-plate printing. “ It can scarcely be matter of new information to those who are but moderately ac¬ quainted with the state of the Arts, to be told that letter-press or book-printing is per¬ formed by an assemblage of single metallic letters, called types, made of lead hardened by an addition of antimony in the metallic state ; that these letters are composed in the form of book pages, and wedged together in iron frames called chases; that the ink is a composition of linseed oil and lamp black, of so singular a nature, that it will adhere to a ball covered with a pelt or sheep’s skin soaked in water, and kneaded to extreme soft¬ ness under the feet, but quits this skin with great readiness to apply to the face of the 456 MACHINES. letter when dabbed with the ball; and still more, that it almost totally quits the letter to adhere to paper rendered semitransparent by soaking in water; or lastly, that the paper is applied and pressed against the form of composed letter by means of a flat piece of wood urged downwards by a screw. Tliese and numerous early discovered principles of this most useful art are generally known, and require no more than mere recapitulation in this place. “ The genius of the Chinese language not permitting that people to analyse its sounds into an alphabet, as has been done by most other nations, has induced them to retain those signs of things, and of their correspondent words, which probably constituted the lirst picture or hieroglyphic writings of every rude society. Changed and complicated as these may have become by the rapidity of transcription, the corruption of ignorance, or whatever other causes may have operated through a long succession of ages, they still for the most part use words that properly denote things, and not sounds. Such words cannot, therefore, be subdivided; and it has accordingly been found most convenient, by these lirst pos-sessors of the art, to print from entire blocks, as was also done by the first printers in Europe. Hut our artists soon discovered that a few of the simplest characters, namely, the letters of the alphabet, would be in many respects more useful, as the elements for composing blocks for printers, tlnui a number of blocks originally cut for every page of every individual book. “ Hook-printing, therefore, though in fact of the same nature as block-printing, has been earried into effect by very different machinery from that made use of in the arts which still retain the latter method. In book-printing, the heavy metallic form lies on a kind of table, and the colour and the paper are successively applied to its face : but in block-i)rinting, the block is carried and applied to the colour, and afterwards to the work intended to be printed. Thus, for example, in the printing of paper-hangings, the colour is spread with a brush upon a woollen cloth stretched over a surface of parchment or skin evenly supported by a half fluid mass of water and mashed paper. To this the block is carefully applied by a slight itcrpendicular stroke or two ; after which it is apiuied to the dry paper on a table, and pressed against it cither by one or more blows with a mallet, or by the regular action of a lever. The mechanical part of callico- printing is effected nearly in the same manner; but with smaller blocks, because of the greater difliculty of making the successive fittings on so flexible a material. And iit both these arts, as well as in book-jtrinting, in red and black, the variety of colours are produced fty repeated applications of forms or blocks, of which the prominent parts are made to lit each other according to the nature of the design. “ In the art of printing from copper-plates, a colour somewhat more fluid than for book-printing is made use of. It is pressed into the cavities of the plate by smearing it over the surface; and by sub.setpicnt careful wiping the redundant colour is cleared away. In this .state, if soaked paper, for which purpose the most spongy texture is the best, be strongly pressed against the plate, by piissing both together between two cylinders of metal or hard wood, properly defended by woollen cloth, the greatest part of the colour adheres to the paper, and forms what is called a print. “ In nil the.se processe.s, it is easily seen, that in the succc-ssivc applications of colour, the accurate filling of the form or original with the material intended to receive the impression, and in various other parts of the manipulation, there is much room for the disi)lay of skill, or for injury from the want of it. It may moreover be collected, that the motions attendant on the v.arious steps of manufacture, are in many instances dif¬ ficult to be performed with rapidity and ease, until by long continued habit the work¬ man himself is converted as it were into a machine. .V very slight degree of attention to this subject must also shew that, if the originals were of a cylindric form, with a contrivance for regularly .applying the colour and performing the subsequent operations, it would be e.asy to print books .and piece goods with a degree of rapidity and uni¬ formity, of which the usual method of successive applications seems scarcely capable without uncommon care and skill. This obvious conclusion has no doubt led to numerous experiments ; none of which, so far as I can gather, whatever may have been their particular utility, have given much promise to supersede the ordinary methods. But as the inere;ised demand for the manufacture of printed goods has rendered such an improvement an interesting object to manufacturers, as well as to those indefatigable artists who have directed their efforts towards improvements ; and as the latter generally take up a new object under a strong persuasion that it has not before been pursued fry others, it will certainly be of advantage to these deserving classes of men, to relate a few of the difficulties of this jiew art. “ The difficulties attendant on any improvement in the arts may be considered either as moral or physical. Under the moral, I would class every thing that relates to the prejudices of men in favour of the old methods, and their fears of risk, together with the ccconomical and commercial inconveniencies attending the new processes. The MACHINES. 457 physical difficulties are such as attend the actual performance of any project after the same has been carefully arranged in the mind of the inventor. It happens unfortu¬ nately here also that the inventor is seldom aware of the moral impediments ; but almost always concludes, that if he can succeed in accomplishing the purpose that he has in view, his cares and labour will then be at an end; and that the manufacturer, in particular, instead of pointing out new impediments discernible only from long con¬ tinued experience, will more readily embrace and approve of the new processes, in consequence of his superior knowledge of their intrinsic value. “ Every good invention appears simple in the prospect, but it scarcely ever happens in the execution that the most direct road is taken; and in every case there will in¬ fallibly be many things unknown or unforeseen, which practice only can point out as necessary to be done for the complete accomplishment of the object in view. Hence, and likew^ because few men possessed of independent fortune are likely to engage or persevere in a labour of this kind, it almost invariably happens that the expences ex¬ ceed the ability of the inventor himself. For these and other reasons, new undertakings are generally brought forward by the inventor, a man strongly prejudiced in favour of his leading pursuit, together with a moneyed friend, who hopes speedily to increase his capital from the abilities of the other. It is not necessary in this place to describe the usual consequences of a partnership, where the minds, the views, and the circumstances of both individuals are so very different, and which may be modified still more essen¬ tially if either of the parties be deficient in the common principles required to bind men to each other. It is certainly of the highest importance to both, that the circum¬ stances of such connections should be very maturely weighed before they are entered into. “ The commercial difficulties or facilities attending any invention, are also of great consequence. Every inventor ought to enquire not only what has been done before, but likewise into the present state of the manufacture he means to improve. In this way it is ascertained how small a part the mere press-work constitutes in the price of a book. He will find that twelve yards of paper-hangings are printed for one penny, in a single colour, by hand, which afterwards, by the accumulation of price, in paper, colour, duty, and ordinary profit, are sold for three shillings; none of which the inventor can pretend to diminish ; and if he could annihilate the whole labour, his advantage would therefore be less than three per cent, without reckoning the cost and operation of his machinery. In the callico-printing, with a more expensive material, dyeing and field-processes, duty and profits of manufacture and vender, the price of laying the block will turn out to be an object still less considerable. Again : it will be seen that small flat blocks cost but little money in comparison with cylinders of sufficient diameter to retain their figure, and long enough to apply to the whole breadth of the cloth. “ Under these and other similar points of view, the inventor, who may consider the subject in a superficial manner, would be ready to abandon his undertaking. But this again ought not to be rashly done. It is true, that where the great force of capital is employed on objects not comprehended within his project, the saving, however large in its absolute amount, or desirable to a manufacturer, will scarcely come within the reach of the inventor by any bargain he can make short of an actual partnership. But it maybe possible to separate the respective departments of a manufactory. A spinner is not necessarily a weaver; nor a printer a linen-draper or a dealer in paper-hangings. The several departments of manufacture and commerce are, generally speaking, in the hands of acute men, who seldom reason ill with regard to the advancement of their peculiar interests ; and these departments are continually fluctuating in their arrange¬ ment, as convenience, profit, or the accumulation of capital may lead. Experiments are for ever on foot, from day-work to piece-work, and from piece-work to the employ of master-workmen with others under them, all supported bj’ the capital of the large manufacturer, who himself in many instances is the mere instrument maintained by the advances or acceptances of the warehouseman, the factor, or the merchant. An inventor, who has not capital, may seek for employ on the goods or the capital of others ; and if he has skill to maintain his ground against the numerous enterprises which the activity of opposite interests will raise against him, he will find that the old order of things will readily alter, as soon as an evident interest in favour of the new is shewn by actual and continued proofs in the market. “ Most of the physical difficulties attendant on any new process are such as ex¬ perience only can shew. Thus, in the forging of irort by the pressure of rollers instead of hammers, a scheme upon which many thousands of pounds have been ex¬ pended in this country, it was apprehended that the more impure parts, which are also the most fluid, might be pressed out by the action of cylinders, with equal or perhaps more advantage than by that of hammers ; at the same time that the determinate figure 458 MACHINES. of bars of any required size might be given without skill in the operator. Experience nevertheless has shewn, that the more fluid part is driven out much more effectually by the sudden action of a blow, than by the slower compression of a cylinder, which allows time for much of the fluid matter to extend itself within the mass. Various similar effects present themselves when cylinders for printing are substituted instead of planes. Instead of the action of dabbing, the colour is usually applied by simple and gradual contact, to much less effect; and the impression, though not essentially different from that of the block, is performed by a gradual action, which affords time for the cloth or ])aper to fold itself in a minute degree into the cavities of the sculpture. Hence it is found that the length of ]>apcr or cloth printed from a cylinder by a definite number of revolutions, will be greater or less than another piece tnanufactured precisely in the same way, but with a less or greater degree of pressure. In a block this defect is much less, not only from the considerable hold it takes upon the surface of the material, but also because the error is rectified at every successive application. One of the chief difficulties of cylinder printing consists, therefore, in the difficulty of laying one colour after another; and this would continue to be so even if the materials were not suscep¬ tible of change, the contrary to which is the fact. There are two projects for obviating tills. The one consists in cunlining the whole piece to a long table, or to the circum¬ ference of a large cylinder; and causing the printing cylinder to move, not by the successive apposition of its carved .surface, but of a bearing face regulated by a toothed wheel. The other method consists in the use of a frame to confine two or more cylin¬ ders, each provided with its own toothed wheel, and revolving against a large clothed cylinder provided with a suitable wheel to drive the others. The piece is caused to pass between the large cylinder and the others >■' order to receive the impression, With regard to the lirst of these methods, it does not appear easy to coniine paper, and still less cloth, in such a manner that its parts may continue without .shift or wrinkle during the action of a cylinder, which not being allowi-rl to roll without the check of a wheel, must draw the surface either the one way or the other. The difficulty of con- finitnient will be very much increased by the indispensable reipilsite that the jiajier should be afterwards hung up to tlry, and the callico be carried to the dye-house and the bleach-tield, between the successive impressions, by which means the dimensions of both will be greatly altered. In the second method, it is observable that no colours can be printed but such as fall clear of each other. In this way, moreover, the gather¬ ing action of the cylinders may prove very mischievous. I’or, if we suppose the paper or cloth to pass between the great cylinder and the first printing roller by an action of the latter which tends to make it slip forward on the face of the great cylinder, and that when it arrives at the second printing roller it there experiences an action of a contrary nature, the consequence will be, that the material will liecomc slack between the two rollers, and the fittings will be false. Not to dwell on that experience which brings forward this obstacle among others, its great prob.ahility may be deduced from the allowable supposition, that the circumference of the first printing cylinder should be one thou.sandth part of an inch too large, and that of the second the same qinantity too small. For, in this case, the material will lie shifted one-twentieth of an inch in fifty turns by the first cylinder, and the .same quantity in the contrary direction by tbe second; a quantity upon the whole quite sufficient to destroy the effect of the colours in the progress of one single piece. Such minute differences can hardly be avoided in the first in.stancc ; in addition to which, we may place the varying dimensions of the printing cylinder, if not made of metal ; and of the great clothed cylinder, which in effect has a larger or smaller diameter in proportion to the pressure which operates to render its elastic covering either thicker or thinner. Tlie only method of diminishing these evils seems to be, that all the printing cylinders should, by dimension or pressure, or both, be made to draw the .same way, the outer cylinder most, and the others gradually less and le.ss so that the material should have a tendency to apply itself more tightly during its p.xssage through the apparatus. “ The application of the colour to the surface of a cylinder block, is attended with some difficulty. .Vn ingenious mechanic may contrive various means to produce the action of dabbing, if required. When a stuffed cylinder covered with cloth is made to revolve in the colour, and thence, after p-asiiing a scr.iper, to apply itself to the block cylinder, it is found to be no ineonsiderable difficulty that its dimensions change, and its covering liecomes wrinkled by the action of the scraper as well a.s that of the block. A lietter method, therefore, consists in a revolving web of woollen cloth, like a jack towel, stretched over three horizontal cylinders parallel to each other, two of which support the ela.stic surface of the web, which in its revolution accompanies the block cylinder ; and the other serves to guide the same web to the colour, or a cylinder revolving in it. This method would be very easy and pleasant in its operation, if it were not for a property common to all straps which revolve on the surface of two or MACHINES. 4.59 more wheels. These are observed always to seek the highest place; so that if a cutler’s wheel were made with a groove to carry a strap, instead of a round edge, the strap would infallibly mount the ledge, instead of remaining in the groove. On this principle, the web would very speedily shift itself to one end of the cylinders, if it were not confined sideways, or the lower roller were not made considerably thickest in the middle, and gradually tapering towards its extremities. This last simple expedient is not without its difficulties; but, as I have not actually tried it, I shall defer entering into any dis¬ cussion on that head. “ The running of the paper or piece-goods towards one end of the leading cylinder is also one of the greatest difficulties attending this method of printing. It is not per¬ fectly removed by tapering the leading cylinders. “ The nature of the trade of paper-staining in this country, which requires a large sum to be immediately vested in the payment of the excise duty, and consequently prevents any considerable stock from being manufactured until orders are actually received, and the varying fashions in printed callicoes, which render the expence of cutting the block by far the heaviest part of the disbursement for printing, are pro¬ bably the chief reasons why manufacturers in this country have been less solicitous for the construction of machines calculated to afford profit only in the case of very numerous impressions. The physical difficulties of this art have likewise conspired, in no small degree, to prevent its having been applied in the large way to any but a few simple designs of the sort called running patterns in one colour.” — Nicholson's Journal, vol. i. 1797. The following is the statement respecting Konig’s machine, which was the first that was made; it appeared in the Literary Gazette, with an engraving; and as that Gazette was at the time printed by Mr. Benjamin Bensley, at a machine, as well as from other circumstances, I am led to believe that the information contained in it was supplied by Mr. Bensley himself, and that, as far as it goes, it may be relied upon. “ The cylindrical mode of printing, which, in contradistinction to the old process by the press, is called Machine Printing, was invented by the late Mr. Nicholson, well known in the scientific and literary world, who took out a patent in the year 1790, though it does not appear that his plans and experiments ended in any actually prac¬ tical result. Whether M. Kbnig, who at a later period more successfully attempted to print by machinery, was indebted to Mr. Nicholson for his elementary principles, or whether almost the same ideas spontaneously occurred to each individual, is a question that can only be satisfactorily solved by the former. Thus much is certain, that M. Kdnig’s labours were the first which produced any fruit; —and surely more is due to him who, after years of persevering toil, succeeds in the application of hitherto unapplied principles, than to one of whom we can only say that he was simply the first to suggest ideas — since no evidence is offered of their ever having been acted upon. “ M. Kbnig, by birth a Saxon, and by occupation a printer, many years ago con¬ ceived it possible to print by Steam, though he then expected no more than to be able to give accelerated speed to the common press, to which end his first efforts were bent. As from the nature of such an undertaking, considering the state of scientific pursuits in his native land, he could calculate on little success unaided by others, and failing in his application for encouragement and support at the hands of the most eminent printers in several of the continental capitals, he turned his eyes towards England. Arriving in London about 1804, he submitted his scheme to several printers of repute, who, not being disposed to incur the risk of property which a series of experiments was sure to entail, and perhaps placing little confidence in a successful issue, received his overtures very coolly; and it is probable his applications in this country would have shared the fate of similar attempts abroad, had he not finally been introduceil to Mr. Bensley senior, who, attracted by M. K.’s plans, speedily entered into an arrange¬ ment with him. After a short course of experiments on the fabrication of a press which should have accelerated motion, and at the same time render the work of the man who inks the type unnecessary, the above gentlemen were joined by Mr. G. Woodfall and Mr. R. Taylor, the former of whom however soon retired ; the remain¬ ing three, in nowise discouraged by the tediousness and expense which all who are conversant with the progress of any invention in machinery well know to be unavoid¬ able, persevered amidst unforeseen perplexities, which were doubtless not diminished by the parties’ deficiency in practical mechanical knowledge. It was at length discovered that the intended improvement of the common press could not be brought to bear — and that much labour and prodigious expence would be thrown away, unless more radical alterations were invented. Cylindrical printing was now thought of—and 4-00 MACHINES. after some two or three years of renewed exertion, a small machine was brought forth, the characteristic of which was, that instead of the printing being produced by a flat impression (similar to the press) the sheet passed between a large roller and the types still flat; and in lieu of the old fashioned balls, used by hand to beat over the types and [so to communicate the ink. to their surface, skins were strained round smaller rollers, on which it was contrived to spread the ink, and under which the Form, i. e. the frame in which the types are fixed, passed iu its way to the printing cylinder. Considerable promise of success attended this production; and after continued experi¬ ments, it was deemed practicable to extend the general principles to a more powerful machine. To print a newspaper was considered highly desirable — and on exhibiting to Mr. Walters, proprietor of the Times Newspaper, the Machine already erected, tmd shewing what further improvements were contemplated, an agreement was entered into with that gentleman for the erection of two large machines for printing his Journal. So secret had been the operations of the patentees, that the first public intimation of their invention was given to the reader of The Times on Monday the 28th of November, 1814, who was told that he then held in his lumd one of many thousand impressions thrown olf by steam. At this time but few persons knew of any attempt going on for the attainment of the above object; whilst among those connected with printing, it had often been talked of, but treated as chimerical. “ The machines at the Times Ollice, cumbrous and complicated as subsequent im¬ provements have made them appear, are yet in many respects admirably adapted to the l)urpose for which they were erected, and it is believed will outlast many contrivances for printing which have been since brought out. “ The next advance in improvement was the manufacture of a machine for Me.ssrs. llen.sley, distinguished from those before mentioned by^ the mode of j)erfecling (or printing on both sides) — so that the sheet of M’hlte paper is i)laeed in the feeder, and delivered from the machine printed on both sides ! In addition to the essential dif- feren^te between this machine and those previously made, it came forth with many obvious improvements, though still unquestionably complex : — and for the first attempt at ellecting register (causing the pages to fall precisely on the back of one another) a greater degree of success than might have been expected was attained, sub- setjuent experience shewing the many diflicultics to be surmounted in the accomplish¬ ment of this object. Deficiencies were now detected in the inking ; the strained skins were found uneven in their surface; and attempts were made to clothe the rollers with an clastic preparation of glue, treacle, &c. which has at length attained perfection. “ lly this time the invention had attracted the attention of various individuals, who thought the manufacture of j)rinting machines an easier task than they afterwards found it to be; and far the greater number of attempts, we believe, failed almost as soon as undertaken. A machine, however, similar in its capacities to that last mentioned, but much more simple in its construction, has been brought out — under the direction of some eminent engineers. It was not long before these gentlemen were requested to apply their inking app.aratus to ^lessrs. Hensley’s machine; and at one stroke, as it were,_/i)rty were removed — so great was the simplification: and at the same time the defects of the former system, of communicating the ink to the types, were most effectually remedied. iVIassive and complicated as it was, yet as an immense expense had been incurred in its erection, Messrs. Hensley went on using their machine until the destruction of their establishment by fire in 1819. And even after the rebuilding of the premises, the machinery, which had been only partially damaged, was reinstated, and worked for some time; — it has now, however, given place to two large and admirable machines built on the improved plan, which when inspected by a judicious eye can only create wonder at the heretofore circuitous manner adopted to attain ends so apparently within e.asy reach. Tlie writer has no hesitation in stating that the original inacliine contained upwards of one hundred wheels ; whereas the new machine, with about ten wheels, accomplishes, in point of qunntity, exactly the same object, and with a marked advantage in regard to the quality of the printing. Another important point respecting the new machine is, that it occupies scarcely half the space of the original one. “ The printing machine in its present state appears susceptible of little improvement. 11 produces excellent work, and its movements are attended with certainty and despatch — the double, or perfecting, machine throwing off 8(X) to 1000 sheets, printed on both sides, within the hour, — and the single machine delivering 1500 or 1600 done on one side ; which, in cases where one form of the types (as in newspapers) is ready to be worked off while the last side is preparing, is attended with the greatest advantage, since the rate of delivery thereby becomes donblcd. The first is that by which our Gazette is printed, and the last described is that with which i\lr. B. Hensley is now (and has for a considerable time been) printing the Morning Chronicle newspaper. “ Other leading daily newsp.ipcrs are also wrought off by steam ; as well as several MACHINES. 461 publications of extensive circulation. Like almost every Ingenious invention, this has had no small portion of prejudice to encounter, and perhaps has been longer in forcing its way than many other schemes of real utility. The various advantages, however, which it holds forth have attracted the attention of several proprietors of the more ex¬ tensive printing concerns, who have introduced it with benefit to the public — to whom, by means of this great reduction of labour, the productions of the press may be furnished at a reduced rate of charge.” — Literary Gazette, October 26, 1822. It may, perhaps, be allowable to make a few observations on this state¬ ment, more particularly as Mr. Nicholson is seldom spoken of in con¬ nexion with printing machines, and when he is, it is in such a manner as to convey the impression that he was a visionary man, who had some imaginary scheme in his head which he was incompetent to carry into effect. To rebut this opinion I have given the specification of his patent, with his own observations on his invention, which certainly do not discover any symptoms of a weak or a speculative man. I knew Mr. Nicholson personally, and I have no doubt that, had he lived, he would have carried his invention into effect; but he had a number of other pursuits which occupied his time. He published a work on navigation, which I have seen quoted as authority for its opinions ; he was the author of a Dictionary of Chemistry, in two quarto volumes; he edited and published monthly Nicholson’s Journal of Science, &c. which was in high repute; he wrote the Prospectus for the Royal Institution, on its establishment in 1799 ; and he likwise kept a large school in Soho Square, the leading feature of which was, a scientific education. I was, for ten years, in the habit of hearing in an undisguised manner the opinions of the most eminent scientific men in England, — as I held the office of Assistant Secretary to the Board of Managers of the Royal Institution, (the Secre¬ tary being an honorary officer,) also that of Secretary to the Patrons of the Library, and Secretary to the Committee of Chemistry, as well as Superintendant of their Printing Office, — and in all that time I never heard his name mentioned but with respect among these gentle¬ men, nor did I once hear him spoken of as a visionary who would project schemes that he was unable to execute. In addition to his multifarious pursuits, he was agent to the late Lord Camelford, whose sudden death left Mr. Nicholson involved in difficulties, from which he could never extricate himself. Could this man, then, who planned the printing machine, and the manner of printing calico, &c. in an improved and expeditious manner, who moreover published the details of his process, with drawings of the requisite machines, be deemed, with justice, nothing more than “ one of whom we can only say that he was simply the first to suggest ideas,” this being all the merit that is allowed him by the Literary Gazette ? Now it appears to me that the term “ suggesting ideas ” refers with rather more truth to Mr. Konig, who, coming to England with the idea of applying steam as the moving power to presses, and being supported by English capital, spent some years in unavailing efforts to reduce his ideas to practice, and when he could not succeed, gave up the attempt as one completely foiled, and turning round upon Mr. Nicholson’s plan, produced a cylindrical printing machine. Dr. Olinthus Gregory, in a lecture delivered by him before the Me¬ chanics Institution at Deptford, in 1826, among other topics illustrative of the patronage afforded to the arts and sciences by the intelligence and enterprise of this country, directed the attention of his audience to “ the case of Mr. Konig, a truly ingenious foreigner, and his invention of an improved printing press, in which, by duly blending the alternating and rotatory principles of motion, the apparatus is capable of working off 1100 sheets an hour, with the superintendance of two boys. Tracing 462 MACHINES. the history of his invention, of his difficulties, and of his want of en¬ couragement, through the greater part of the continent of Europe, Mr. Kdnig says, ‘ I need hardly add, that scarcely ever was an invention brought to maturity under such circumstances. The well known fact, that almost every invention seeks, as it were, refuge in England, and is there brought to perfection, seems to indicate that the Continent has yet to learn from her the best manner of encouraging the mechanical arts. I had my full share in the ordinarj'^ disappointments of continental projectors; and, after having spent in Germany and Russia upwards of two years in fruitless applications, I proceeded to England.’ “ VV’hat could not be accomplished by the encouragement of princes on the Continent,” proceeils Dr. Gregory, “was effected by the aid of |)rivate individuals in London. A few enterprising printers, — and their names cannot be mentioned but with honour on such an occasion ; Mr. Thomas Bensley, Mr. George Woodfall, and Mr. Richard Taylor,— liberally assisted this ingenious foreigner in bringing his invention to maturity. The machine was set to work in April 1811, and 3000 copies of sheet H of the “ New Annual Register for 1810,” was printed by means of it. This was, doubtless, the first part of a book ever printed solely by a machine. Messrs. Bacon and Donkin were, it is true, simul¬ taneously at work upon analogous contrivances, and, since then, other ingenious artists, especially Applegatli and Cowper, have contributed greatly to the simplification of tliis class of machinery.” In 1818, Messrs. Donkin and Bacon obtained a patent for a most ingunious but complex machine, which claims the merit of having been the first to print with a circular movement of the types. It is said that the invention of this machine was simultaneous with that of Kdnig. A great point was gained in it, for the composition inking rollers were first introduced in this machine, Mr. Kdnig’s having rollers covered with leather, which were not found to answer the purpose so well. In this machine the patent specifieil the fastening of the pages of type to the surface of a prismatic cylinder having any number of j)lanes from four to eight; to these types the ink was immediately supplied by a large elastic roller placed over the type cylinder, and made to rise and fall in accordance with the irregular motion of the surfaces of the latter; two other and smaller rollers conveying the ink from a receptacle to the larger roller. The sheet of paper to be printed was applied to another revolving prism, coniposeil of segments of cylinders exactly adapted to meet the irregularities of the type roller. To insure the niceties and regularities of motion and of contact recjuired in printing, toothed wheels, corresponding in shape to the prisms, were placed upon the axis; and however strange, at first sight, mav appear to non-mechanical persons the working together of metal wheels of such angular shapes, yet by providing for a free vertical motion of the gudgeons of each roller, the operation of the w hole machine w as steady and uniform. The annexed diagram, representing a section of the principal parts, will enable the reader to form a more correct idea of this curious machine.

MACHINES. 463 The Norwich Mercury, a paper published by Mr. Bacon, contains a prospectus of his newly invented machine, to which is added a notice respecting its merit as compared with that of Mr. Konig, erected at the Times printing office, from which statement the following is an exti’act: — “ In Messrs. Bacon and Donkin’s machine, there is no reciprocating motion. The types are placed on a prism of as many sides as the nature of the form requires. This prism occupies the centre of an upright frame, like the roller in a copperplate press; below this is a kind of compound-faced roller, suited to the form of the prism ; through between these the sheets to be printed (attached to the face of a piece of cloth) are passed in succession, and in the meantime the revolution in the type prism brings its different portions in succession under a system of inking rollers placed over it, by which it receives successive charges of ink, to be delivered to the sheets as they pass in succession between the lower rollers.” Mr. Hansard, in his “ Typographia,” says, that “ one machine would not answer for all kinds of work.” And “ the only one of these ma¬ chines that was, I believe, ever made, rests in peace as not being found useful.” On the erection of the machines for printing the Times newspaper, Mr. Bensley being apprehensive that there would be impediments thrown in the way of their general introduction by the workmen, who had already shown symptoms of opposition, was desirous that I should see them at work, that he might have my opinion on the subject. I accordingly went with Mr. Joseph Bensley, his eldest son, to look at them, and view their manner of working, and on my return, Mr. Bensley was anxious to see me, that he might have my report. I told him that truly they sur¬ passed any thing I had imagined, and did the work so well, and so expeditiously, that I did not believe any opposition on the part of the workmen could prevent their coming into use. This opinion was grati¬ fying to him: but I also told him that I foresaw another thing that might probably take place, which would have an equally injurious effect with respect to him. With considerable anxiety he asked to what I alluded; I told him that I thought some man of abilities would step in and simplify them, for they appeared to me complex in their con¬ struction. He treated this suggestion with indifference, as a thing that could never happen, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied that no person would ever make the attempt. My prognostication, however, was fulfilled; for immediately after, Mr. Edward Cowper, of the firm of Applegath and Cowper, printers, proved not only its possibility, but its practicability, by sweeping away at once wheels, &c. which had cost, as I was credibly informed at the time, at least 1500/. in the course of their experiments; and thus made the machine more simple, and less liable to be out of order, while he at the same time improved it greatly in its facility of working, and in the quality of the work it produced. Mr. Cowper took out a patent for his improvement; and, as I was told, in consideration of the expense that Mr. Bensley had been at in the pur¬ suit, which amounted to at least 16,000/., offered him, as an act of justice, a share of the patent, which was accepted. The machine erected for “ The Times ” cost the proprietor of that newspaper 3,000/. Messrs. Applegath and Cowper then commenced manufacturing these machines, which met with general approval; they also much improved the inking apparatus. After the dissolution of their partnership, Mr. Cowper established a manufactory for them at Manchester, in conjunc¬ tion with his brother, he himself continuing to reside in London. 464 MACHINES, In the year 1824 a new mode of machine printing was introduced, that of printing with two colours simultaneously in the same impression. This arose out of the Commission appointed by Government to inquire into the best means of preventing the Forgery of Bank Notes. A pamphlet was MACHINES. 465 published by Sir Williarn Congreve, describing the process as inimitable, except by their machine, for which they had a patent, so that no one else could possiblj'^ produce a facsimile. A design was made, generally composed of a great number of lines in a flourishing style, and, when engraved on two pieces of metal, these lines were printed with two colours, one part sinking below the other after each impression, and, there being two sets of inking rollers, each part was inked at the same time, when the lower part rose again to a level with the other, so that one part of these complicated lines should be black, and the continuation of them should be blue or red, or any other colour that might be thought proper, and any device that might be included in the design should also be in two colours, such, for instance, as the King’s arms, and the register should be exact, so that each line should uniformly be perfectly continuous, notwithstanding the change of colour. Government adopted the plan for printing a new stamp on the backs of country bank notes, and also for the Excise Stamps for paper. So far, however, from being inimitable, I have no hesitation in saying, that there never was a plan suggested that was more easy of imitation, even with the common press, and by the customary workmen. The machines were made by Messrs. Donkin and Co. A single machine, that is, a machine which prints one side of the paper only, may be estimated to produce upon the average one thousand im¬ pressions in an hour ; and were I to attempt to describe the one by which the Times newspaper is now printed, I should state that it is the mechanism of four single machines combined in one frame, all being worked simultaneously bj’’ steam as the motive power: thus there are four places at which to feed it with paper, four printing cylinders, and four places at which the sheets are delivered when printed, so that the actual speed of each part of the machine is rather more than one thou¬ sand an hour. This ingenious and skilful combination is the production of Mr. Augustus Applegath. I have seen it stated by the proprietor of a machine, that it would print at the rate of two thousand impressions in an hour: I have known another assert that his perfecting machine would print one thousand five hundred in the same time. This is a fallacy, which produces disappoint¬ ment and dissatisfaction. I have had occasion in the course of business to satisfy myself as to their real eapability, by attending and carefully observing them at work, and have thus ascertained that a single machine cannot be depended on for more than one thousand in the hour, nor a perfecting machine for more than seven hundred and fifty. I am well aware that both may be driven with greater speed for a short time, but in the case of newspapers and periodical publications, where punctu¬ ality is indispensably requisite, I would never calculate upon greater expedition. With respect to the comparative merits of the cylindrical method of printing and those of the press, the manufacturers of machines as well as most master printers, not content with the real superiority of pro¬ perties which the machine does certainty possess, attribute to it properties which it does not possess, and which are incompatible with it, namely, those of producing the finest work, and printing the finest impressions from highly finished engravings on wood at the rate of eight hundred or one thousand per hour; even an engraver on wood has fallen into this error, and has produced a work with numerous beautiful illustrations, in which the writer of the book has boldly defended this erroneous opinion, but the engraver himself has cautiously avoided the risk of, and shrunk II II 466 MACHINES. from, the comparison, and has liad the book printed at the press. The Penny Magazine has trumpeted the same fallacy ; and yet the spirited Publisher has all his splendid works, with their beautiful illustrations, printed also at the press : thus tacitly acknow ledging its superiority, and denying the opinions w hich he is the means of publishing to the world. In producing the finest workmanship in printing, it is essentially requi¬ site to use the best ink : this is ink made w ith strong varnish, w Inch binds the colouring matter, and, w hen dry, prevents its smearing on being handled or setting-otf in the process of binding ; the colouring matters are selected with care from among those of tlie best quality ; the w hole is ground to a state of impalpability ; the strength of the varnish causes the ink to recjuire a great deal of distributing on the balls, w hicli I prefer to rollers for the best work, — See Balls,— in order to ditfuse it equally on their surface ; the form sliould be well and carefully beat, so as to coat the face of the types, &e. completely and uniformly with ink, without any superfluity ; the pressure should be slow and gradual, what is termed a soaking pull, not (juick and abrupt, and when the bar of the press is brought ho!ne, the workman should rest there a short time, in order to transfer the ink completely from the tyjjes, &c. to the paper, and fix it tirndy on its surface. These precautions and care are necessary to ])roduce the finest work in printing ; ami in every instance, in w hatever art or iiianufaeturc the article may be, good workmanship and high finish will be found to require more time for their production than in an inferior article. From the nipiilily with w hich impressions are produceil by the cyliii' drical methotl of printing, it must be apparent that it is not capable of executing work of a superior kind, as the ink must be weak to enable the light rollers to ilistribute it as expeditiously as it is re(|uired; the ink too must be prepareil w ith a soft varnish to enable it to ilo so, w hich deprives it of the valuable property of drying, as w ell as of binding the colouring matter so as not to smear ; this weak ink also incurs the risk of allow ing the oil in the varni>h to separate from the colouring matter, amt flins spread in the paper and discolour it. Another imperfection is, that there is not time to ink the face of the type, «!vc. properly, which is thus obliged to be done in an imjierfect manner with an inferior ink ; and in taking the impression, again for lack of time, there is not jires- sure sufficient to fix the ink firmly to the paper. As overlays cannot be used in cylindrical printing, the engravers on wood, when producing a subject w hich is to be jirintcd at a machine, hollow out on the surface of the block the parts that are to appear light, as well as round off the edges that are to be printed lightly, and engrave on those lowered parts, so that the surface is not a perfect plane; and this is to answer the purpose of overlays, thus in practice allowing that of which they deny the necessity and w Inch they ridicule in theory — unequal pressure to produce the desired effect; but the object is not gained by this method, for, to obtain an impression from those lowered parts, thick woollen cloth, called a blanket, is used, which, owing to its elasticity, is pressed into the hollows as well as between the lines of the depths; so that an impression is produced, in which the lights arc com¬ posed of crude lines, and the depths are muddy, and w Inch show more than the engrayed line, and thus the wood-cut does not possess that delicacy in the light parts, nor that firmness in the dark, which are pro- rluced by good workmen at the press, and which give to the w hole a brilliant effect. The hollowing of the block on it* surface require* great care and MAKING READY. 467 judgment, not only in ascertaining the precise situation and bounds, but also the precise depth to which it ought to be loM'ered ; for if a thick blanket be used, the light parts will be produced stronger and heavier than is required, and if a thin one be used, they will either not appear, or, if they do, will be rotten, or else chalky; and some small parts in the depths will always require to be of a full firm colour, which a thick blanket and weak inferior ink will never produce. See Engravings on Wood. Fine Presswork. The advantages that cylindrical printing possesses are of great import¬ ance in the art, and not less so with respect to the public. Its power of printing larger sheets of paper than was ever before contemplated, has enabled the proprietors of newspapers to enlarge them to a pre¬ viously unparalleled extent. The rapidity with which impressions are multiplied is also an advantage of great consequence, as in the case of morning newspapers, instead of going to press on the evening preceding the puWication, they can now wait until five o’clock in the morning, and even later, when if a despatch or an express arrives with any im¬ portant news, it is in the hands of the public at the usual hour of publi¬ cation ; neither is this rapidity of less advantage to periodical publications, more particularly to those of which a large number is printed, for example, the Evangelical Magazine, and the Methodists Magazine, of each of which there were printed about 24,000 copies. When these were done at press, it was necessary to put the last sheets to press ten days before the publication, whereas now they 'can delay them till the third day, and yet be punctual in publishing at the regular time. They thus avail themselves of any later intelligence that may arrive, and give it publicity a month earlier than before the invention of cylindrical jirinting. Another advantage in machine printing is, the regularity and uni¬ formity of colour through any number of impressions, as it can be regu¬ lated with the greatest nicety to any shade; in this instance it is supe¬ rior to the press for the production of common work, in the uniformity of colour, but only superior to common work in its rivalry with the press. ' • MACULE. If the joints of the tympan, or the head, or the nut of the spindle, be loose, or any accident happen in pulling, so that the im¬ pression be somewhat doubled, and not clear, it is said to be maculed. Cards under the winter, to produce a spring, have often been the cause of maculing : the sides of the tympan or the ear of the frisket touching the cheeks will also produce the same effect. See Double. Slurring. Magazines. *S’ee Newspaper Postage. MAKE. In casting off copy, they say it will make so much; as, it will make a sheet, two sheets, &c. Make a Measure. See Justify a Stick. MAKING READY. This term implies the process of laying the form on the press — fixing it in its place — placing the tympan sheet on the tympan — placing the points to make register, when both sides of the paper are to be printed — making register—preparing the frisket—• and producing an equal impression from all the pages, and from every part of each page. When an engraving on wood is printed, it also denotes the overlaying it, so as to produce an impression, which shall possess all the effect that the subject may require. In common work, where despatch is required, thick blankets are used in the tympans ; and when the types are much worn they are also neces¬ sary, to bring up the rounded face of the letter. It is too common in 468 MAKING READY. good work to put an excess of blanket into the tympans, to lessen the pull for the purpose of easing the pi'essmen’s anus, and to enable them to be more expeditious: the consequence is, that the impression will show more than the surface of the types or engraving ; and thus what is gained in ease and expedition, is more than counterbalanced by tlie imperfect and rough impression that is produced. See Fine Presswork^ and Engravings on Wood. An old pressman, who was a good workman, gave me the following directions for making ready a form : — “ In making ready, I will only speak of a form of fine work ; if a press¬ man can do that, he surely can make common work ready. “ Lay the form on the stone, centricallj' under the platen; quoin it all round; fold the tympan sheet according to the form laid on the press ; lay it even on the form, and stretch it as much as it will bear ; pull it, for the purpose of attaching it to the tympan ; paste it all l^uind to the tyuqian, at the same time keep stretching it ; screw on the points ; make them fall in the channel of the short cross; make good register with white paper, w hether the form be w hole or half sheet work. “ 'I’his is one of the good ohl customs, and the best that I know of; because the pressman is sure to have the jioints centrical; he jicreeives w hether all the furniture bi: put in right or wrong, even to a single scale- board : in h-aded matter, w hich shouhl be line upon line, he ascertains whether the form be locked uj) evenly or not, and whether the leads be all put in right ; also, whether the pages that begin chaptei's, or other dhisions of the work, have the jiroper whiles; he can likewise discover if any of the pages be made np too long, or too short: any of these errors, that may have occurred, must be amended in the white jiajier form, otherw ise the reiteration w ill have the same faults, in order to make register. On fine w ork, 1 make ready the w hitc paper form of a sheet in the same manner as 1 do a half sheet, on purpose to discover those errors, by which process I gain more lime in making ready the reiteration than I lost in the white paper form. “ h’or tine work, nse^lhe finest cloth that can be procured, ami not thick tiannel blanket: if the finin be light, one thin cloth blanket w ill be sUfRment; and if it be very light, that is to say open leaded matter, sheets of paper arc preferable to cither thinncl or cloth in the tympans. He sure to have one sheet of stout jiaper, which will cover all the parch¬ ment, in the inside of the outer tympan. Full a dry even sheet of paper; look carefully on the back of the impression ; if it be not c(|ually even, the light parts must be overlaid with tissue paper, or India paper ; if some jiarts be very heavy, cat or tear out the heavy parts. The overlays shouhl be p.asted only slightly on the impression sheet, in case any of them should have to be taken off; jiaste the four corners of this sheet upon the thick sheet; let the overlays be uppermost, that you may see them ; then pull another impression sheet, w ith the first in the tympans, and ifthe impression still be not even, overlay the first impression sheet again ; and continue jndling impression sheets, and overlaying the first impression sheet, until you have an even and regular impression on all parts. “ As you go on w ith the form, if any of the overlays require to be taken oH, do so ; if bits are requiretl to be taken out- or rubbed off, the tympan sheet, it must be done. In some works the outer tympan cannot be too dry, but the pressman must be the judge of this, according to the work he has to do. “ Having a good black ink well brayed on the surface of the ink block, MAKE UP. 469 he takes a small quantity on the ballsj and distributes it well; he takes time to beat the form well and carefully^ and then pulls a sheet of the right paper, dwells on the pull, or keeps down the bar a short time by means of a catch or hook, in order to make the paper take the ink clean off the types, and look a clear black upon the paper. The impressioij must not be too deep, as nothing must appear but the shape of the face of good types. If the impression be too deep, or too mueli ink on the form, more than the real shape will appear, and the work will not be fine ; but if the work be fine, he goes on gently and regularly until the white paper be off. He then lays on the reiteration form; and having the overlays ready that he made before, he has very little trouble in making it ready r he makes such good register, that line falls upon line. After the reiteration is off, if he does not go on with the same work, or work of a similar size and imposition, he carefully puts by the tympan blankets, cloths, or tympan paper, and overlays, till they are again wanted for the same work. All other works must have their own over¬ lays made purposely for them. “ After the first overlays are made for their respective works, there is not so much trouble in making ready the fiitui’e sheets of the same work as they are put to press; indeed, if the pressman carefully preserves his overlays, tympan paper, or cloths, he seldom has occasion to do more than alter a few of the overlays, as the paper sometimes varies in thick¬ ness, which may want a few overlays on the tympan sheet. India paper is the best for this, as it is of a soft and pliable nature, and as it lies on the tympan sheet the pressman can easily perceive if one part of it has a deeper impression than another. “ It is to be observed, that fine work cannot be made upon bad paper, or with old worn types. “ Fine work must not be hurried, as some do when they are paid for it as piecework, and spoil it, in order to make a large bill. How a master stares at this, when the same men could not earn nearly so much on scale work. These are the very men who have despised the establish¬ ment, because they could earn more money by attending fewer hours, but not on scale work. How miserable and discontented I have seen them when on scale work, although at the same time they had as much work as they could do. This has been the cause of masters reducing the price of works not paid by the scale. A few shillings per week additional ought to satisfy a man for his extra abilities on fine work.” MAKING REGISTER. The act of making the pages and lines fall exactly on the back of each other at press, when any work is perfected. See Register. MAKE UP. After a compositor has been setting at random, and commences arranging his matter into pages, it is termed making up. In large pages and letter, in a work where good register is required, I would recommend the compositor to mark on a gauge accurately every line of the page, so that he may regulate his whites in such a manner that line may fall upon line without causing much trouble to the press¬ man, or to himself; for if it be much out, and the pressmen are on piecework, he will be called on to rectify the errors, and this is better avoided in the making up, as it is attended with but little trouble then, and his work will appear to more advantage in the first instance. To give the making-up. When a compositor in a companionship has composed his copy to within the quantity of a page of the work, he gives the overplus of the copy, after having completed his own last page, to him who is composing the copy that follows his matter; and he ought 470 MALAY. to mark on it with a pencil where he has himself concluded, ais well as the folio that should follow that of his own last page. This is called giving the making-up. Malabaric. See Tamoulic. ^ MALAY. The Malay is the principal vernacular tongue used by the people who inhabit that vast region and chain of islands comprehended be¬ tween ninety-three and one hundred and thirty-five degrees of East lon¬ gitude, a space of about two thousand two hundred and twenty miles; and extending from fourteen degrees North to eleven degrees of South latitude, comprehending twenty-five degrees, about one thousand seven hundred and forty miles. This vast extent of country over which the language is spoken includes the peninsula of Malacca, the islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Maccasser, Balee, Cumbava, Sallaycr, Bootoon, Booro, Ceram, Pulo Pinang, the Moluccas, and innumerable others. The Malays have not any proper national character, except that which has been introduced by the Mohammedan priests, who have from time to time settled in the peninsula of Malacca and the adjacent islands; therefore it resembles the Arabic Nishki alphabet, excepting some slight alteration to express a sound which the Arabians had no character to delineate. In conformity then with the principal of the Eastern na¬ tions, Arabians, Turks, Persians, &c. they read from the right hand to the left. The acute accent (') is always used to mark a very long sound of the vowel over which it is placed; but when inserted after a consonant, it shows that the syllabic ends with it.

A wooden hammer, with which to drive the quoins in locking up and unlocking forms, to plane down forms, and for other similar purposes. Tlie general size of the head is 5 inches by 4j, and 3 inches thick : the hole in the head for the reception of the handle should be bevelled each way from the centre on two sides, so that the handle fitting into the lower part, and being tightly wedged at the upper end, the head can neither fly off, nor can the handle be driven up, when a quoin is struck down with it, or when the planer is struck with the end of it, both which ways of using the mallet are frequent. It is com- moidy made of beech; but mallets are more durable when the head is made of a piece of tough ash. The head was formerly made round. MAllGIN. Making margin is the apportioning of the proper dis¬ tances between' the pages of a sheet or form. This is a most material object in book work; for, if it be not properly done, the appearance of the book, when bound, will be injured ; as the binder will be obliged cither to reduce the size of the book, in order to make the edges smooth, or else he will have to leave many raw edges of paper. The spaces between the pages should be such, that, when the book is bound and cut, the page of printing should be very nearly in the middle of the page of paper. Convenience and custom have familiarised us to the jjrintcd page being a little higher than the middle of the leaf, and to its having a little more margin at the fore edge than in the back. The first of these circumstances may be accounted for, by the head, in all sizes except folio, being at the fold of the paper, which admits of the bookbinder cutting it smooth by taking off a very narrow shaving, so as to reduce the size but a mere trifle ; while the bottom of the page lying towards the raw edge of the paper, which is irregular, and which often varies considerably from being cater-cornered — machine-made paper also varies greatly in the size of the sheets, being cut up irregu¬ larly ; and paper made at diflerent times, and by difl'erent makers, which is often used in the same volume, and which likewise varies in size — all combined, render it necessary to allow a little more margin at the foot of the page and at the fore edge than at the head and in the back; for these variations in the paper equally affect the fore edge and the foot: but the head, the back, and the gutter, being folded, remain uniformly the same, however much the paper may vary. It is always presumed that the backing of the book in binding, takes up as much of the margin as is cut off the fore edge, so as to make them both equal. Having premised these explanatory observations, I shall proceed to describe, in as clear and distinct a manner as I am able, the manner of ascertaining the proper spaces between the pages, for the different sizes of books, in the simplest way that is known, and as it is now generally practised; for the division of the margin by compasses is obsolete. MARGIN. 473 To facilitate the operation, it will be necessary to keep in mind the observation I made in the article Imposing, that, “ when we arrive at a great number of pages in a sheet, they resolve themselves into the same order as quartos, oetavos, and duodecimos,” as a recollection of this will tend to simplify the proeess, and, if the person who has to per¬ form it be not well experienced, it may prevent him from getting eon- fused, by keeping him to a small part of the form, instead of leaving him to attempt doing all at once. After the pages have been laid upon the imposing stone, and the chases put over them, the first thing to be done is to get a sheet of the proper paper of the work, wet, and to fold it as exactly as possible to the size in which the work is intended to be printed. If the paper for the work has not been sent in, then a sheet of the same size may be taken from the paper of some other work that is in progress, which will be found to be sufficiently near, inasmuch as a scale- board or two in the backs and heads, more or less, will make it right; or the first sheet may be imposed temporarily with furniture out of the di'awer. I must here caution the compositor, or the person who has this busi¬ ness to perform, never to cut his furniture till he is certain of the proper distance required between the pages. To ascertain this distance, take short pieces of furniture out of the drawer, or quotations, or both, and quadrats or reglets to fill up the interspace, between two pages ; then push the pages close up to them, and when you have got the right distance between the pages, you can ascertain what furniture will be of the exact width, by trying the ends of different pieces, always measuring from the edges of the types them¬ selves, and not within the page cords. We will now proceed with making margin, commencing with folio, and proceeding through the various sizes, at least through so many as may be necessary to elucidate the subject. Folio. — Having folded a sheet of the intended paper exaetly in the middle, place the edge of the paper even upon the outer edge of the first page, and move the adjoining page to it till the fold in the paper will lie about half an inch upon it, when the folded sheet is laid upon the face of the first page ; the space between the pages on either side of the cross is then to be filled up with furniture, using one piece only on each side where it is practicable, and where there is no reason to the contrary, in order to prevent mistakes in re-imposing. This space, with the addition of one or two scaleboards on each side of the cross, which are to assist in making register at press, will be sufficiently near for a demy folio, where the page is of a fair dimension ; but if the page be very large, or if it be a smaller sized paper than demy, I would not allow the back fold of the paper to lie quite so much over the adjoining page, but would lessen it in proportion to the size of the page or paper; if it be very large paper and a corresponding margin, I would allow a little more proportionably ; for it is to be observed, that the more the fold of the paper lies over the edge of the adjoining page, the more fore edge is given at the margin than in the back. The margin for the head of a folio is arranged at press. After the scaleboards have been put in, the page cords taken off, and the pages pushed up close to the furniture, you should try it again, to see that it is correct. It is a good plan to take a slip of paper, and cut it to a length equal to the width of the back, then to fold it even in the middle so as to make a distinct crease, to open it again and lay it 474 MARGIN. in the back, so that the crease shall be exactly in the middle of the back ; then to open out the sheet of paper, and lay it upon the form, with the crease in its middle upon the crease in the slip of paper; the margin in the back may then be compared with the margin in the fore edge as well as if the sheet were printed, and it may be altered if thought neces¬ sary by a scaleboard more or less. If two jobs, that are to be cut up, are worked together, it is usual to impose them so that the margin shall be equal on both sides ; to effect this, fold the paper exactly in the middle, and laying it folded upon the left hand page with the edge of the paper even with the edge of the page of types, bring the other page to it till the left hand side fairly touches the fold of the paper; this is termed being out and out; and when the paper is cut evenly in two, after having been printed, the side margins will be found to be erpial. Quakto. — Told a sheet of paper exactly into quarto ; then lay it, thus folded, upon the first page, the fore edge of the paper being even with the left hand edge of the types ; bring the adjoining page towards the first page till the fohl in the paper lies u|)on the left hand side of it about as much as a Double Ihca boily; this will make the back about right: then place the lower edge of the paper even with the foot of the page, and bring the heads of the pages which adjoin at that part towards each other till the fohl in the ])aj)er covers the head line, and barely the first line of matter; this will make the head right. Then fit the furniture in^o the spaces ; add a scaleboard or two, as the case will admit; and, after cutting and folding slij)3 of paper and laying them in the back anil head, open out the sheet of jiaper, laying the folds in the paper exactly over the folds in the slips, and it will be perceived how the margin is to be for all the jiagcs. liefore I proceed to octavo, it will be necessary to observe, that in all sizes except folio and ipiarto, if there be not enough in the backs, the raw edge of the paper in the front margin will jiroject beyond the folded margin, and this in proportion to the deficiency in the back ; the same will take place in the length in duodecimo, and in smaller sizes where there are offeuts, if there be not enough at the foot of the pages whence the oH'ent is taken : the effect produced by these deficiencies is, that the binder is obliged to reduce the size of the book both in length and width, when cutting, in order to make the edges smooth. The Trench allow the raw edge of the pajmr in the front to extend considerably beyond the foliled edge ; and also at the foot in duodecimos : in England we endeavour to give the book the fullest size that the paper will permit, and suffer the raw edge of the front margin to project but a very little beyond the folded edge, to allow for any discrepancy in the size or shape of the paper. Octavo. —Fold a sheet of paper into octavo, and lay it, thus folded, upon the first page, the fore edge of the paper even with the outer edge of the types: then bring the adjoining page towards it till the other side of the octavo paper lies over the left hand side of this page about a Pica ; this will give the width of the gutter: then open the paper out a fold, into quarto, and laying it upon the two pages, bring the third page on the right hand sufficiently near for the right hand side of the paper to lie upon the left hand side of the page about a Long Primer body; this will give the width of the back : then fold the paper up again, and laying it upon the first page, with the foot of the paper even with the direction line, bring the head of the page above it so near that the top of the oc¬ tavo papW will cover the head line and barely ako the first line of MARGIN. 475 matter'; this will give the space at the head: then put into all the spaces on one side of the long cross, and into the head, small pieces of furniture from the drawer, or quotations, which are generally used where they will fit, or quadrats, making both the gutters alike, and push the pages up close; cut the slips of paper as before, and fold them; lay them in the gutters, head and back, and open the sheet of paper to its full size; lay it with the crease of the middle fold exactly upon the crease of the slip of paper in the back, and if the margin be right the creases between the other pages will fall exactly upon the creases in the slips of paper laid in the gutters; if they do not, the space in the back must be increased or diminished till they do, when the margin will be right; the furniture may then be cut, and a scaleboard inserted next the crosses at the backs and heads in all the quarters. Duodecimo. — After folding a sheet of paper exactly into 12mo., proceed as in octavo for the gutter, but let the fold lie rather less over the edge of the adjoining page than a Pica; proceed in the same manner for the back, but that the paper lie on the third page barely a Long Primer body will be sufficient; the fold in the head will just cover the top line of matter in the adjoining page above it, as in octavo, but the pieces of furniture put in there are called bolts. The offcut is now to be considered — this is always imposed on the outside of the short cross, and the back and gutters are the same as those in the other part of the sheet; for the head of the offcut, the space between the running title, or, where there is no running title, the headline, and the middle of the groove in the short cross, must be exactly half the width of the bolts; for as register is made at this part, and the points fall into the groove and there make point holes, the binder folds to these holes, and takes off the offcut in accordance: thus when the sheet is folded, the offcut in¬ serted, and knocked-up, the head lines of the offcut ought to range with the head lines of the other pages, and this should always be kept in view by the printer; the space between the bottom of the other pages and the middle of the groove in the short cross, should be within a Pica of the outer margin at the feet of the pages, which will allow for any little variation in the size of the paper, and not affect the size of the book in cutting the edges : when these distances are thus arranged, put short bits of furniture, quotations, &c., as before directed, between the pages, in the gutters and back in one row, and in the head and both sides of the short cross in another row lengthways, and push the pages of both these rows close up: cut the slips of paper and fold them for the gutters and the back, as also for the bolts; then open out the sheet of paper, and lay the middle crease in it exactly upon the crease in the slip of paper laid in the back; and if the side margin is I’ight, the creases in the sheet of paper between the other pages will fall upon the creases in the slips of paper laid in the gutters; if they do not, the space in the back must be altered till they do: then try it the other way, by laying the crease in the sheet of paper upon the crease in the slip laid in the bolt, and if the crease of the offcut falls exactly in the middle of the groove in the short cross, it is right; if it does not, the space at the feet of the pages next the cross must be altered till it does: it being presumed that the gutters and bolts are right, the only places at which to alter are the back, and the space at the feet of the pages adjoining the offcut; a scaleboard or two, as may be required, must be put into all the quarters next the crosses. In Dtiodecimo Music way, the pages are reversed in shape, being so wide as for two of them to occupy the width of the sheet, and so short as to have six in the depth; in this case there are no backs, technically 476 MARGiy. so called, but only gutters; but as the long cross comes between the pages, they must be treated as backs, in the same manner as in folio, and tlie fold of the paper must be allowed to lie more over the side of the adjoining page, as was ilescribed in making margin for folio; if the page be very wide, less than half an inch ; if it be narrow, and a large margin, it may be a little more; the head margins or bolts are three in depth, and may be ascertained in the same manner precisely as for octavos or com¬ mon twelves, which, being done, the foot margins must be ascertained; these, being two, may have a Pica body each less than the outer foot margins, to allow for any inequality in the size of the paper, or in lay¬ ing on the white ])aper at press; this wilt be done by i'olding the sheet of paper exactly in three portions across it, and extending the pages till one of these j)ortions covers the two outer pages with the gutter, and lies over the third about a Pica body; when this has been performed at one end, rcp<.“at the same process at the other end of the Ibrm. The margin may then be tried in the manner before described, and any necessary alter¬ ation must be made in the space at the feet of the pages, care being taken that l)oth spaces are equal. In Lonfj Diwdtcimn, the pages are the same in size as in the preceding, only that they exchange the length for witlth, anil the width for length ; the manner of making margin is the same for this size as for the last; tlieonly dirt’erence between them being one of wonls—tliat which was the gutter in the other being the heail in this; and what was the head or bolt, and tlic foot margin, now becoming the gutter and the back ; the sjtaces between the pages, for heads, for gutters, and for liacks, are ascertained in the manner before described. .\s the number of pages multiply in a sheet, so the utility of jilacing slips of paper, folded in the middle, in the gutters, backs, &C., becomes greater, Iry enabling the jicrson, whose office it is, to know' readily the middle of each .sjiace w hen he tries the w liolc margin w ith the sheet opened out; to some this may appear unnecessarily minute, but I hold that whatever method tends to facilitate an operation, and enables a person to jierform it more correctly, is useful. SixTKENs. — .\fter having described so fully the manner of folding the paper, and ascertaining the spaces between the ])ages for the gutters, the licads, and the backs, w hich are required for ijuartos, octavos, and ilnodecimos, it apjiears unnecessary to extend this article by repeating the same thing in every size. For sixteens, fold a ((uarter of a sheet of paper exactly in four; pursue the foregoing direction for ascertain¬ ing the width of the gutter, the back, and the head, in one quarter of the form, and having made these right, arrange the remainder of the form in the same manner, always trying all the pages by the w hole sheet opened out, and rectifying any thing w rong by adding or diminishing in the backs, and similarly at the. feet of the pages next the short cross. The greater the number of pages in a sheet, the smaller in proportion does the margin become: it must therefore be evident, that the folded paper should lie proportionably less over the edge of the adjoining page, both for gutter and for back, as the number of pages increases; for as a folio may require the page to be half an inch nearer the back than the fore edge, an eighteens may not require it to be more than a Long Primer; and so in proportion with respect to the size of the page and of the margin. Eighteens. — A sheet of eighteens is the same as three half sheets of twelves imposed together: there are two backs and three gutters in each form: the other way of the chace it is three pages in depth, having MARGIN. 477 bolts and an ofFcut the same as twelves; and the process is the same as when making margin for twelves, only ascertaining the first gutter and back by one third of the sheet of paper the tong w’ay, instead of one half of it the narrow way: having made the six pages on the left hand of the form right, make the remaining twelve pages like them, and then try the whole Avith the sheet of paper opened out; the creases in the folds should fall exactly in the middle of the gutters and backs; but as the ofFcut is not imposed on the side of the short cross with the groove in it, the crease for the ofFcut should be exactly half the width of the bolt from the running title or headline, or it should fall in the middle of the long cross. I wish here to impress upon the mind of the person who is making margin, never to attempt doing so with the whole form at once; for if he does, it is more than probable that he will get wrong, cause himself additional trouble, and frequently waste fuimiture; but let him get one portion right, then make a range of pages through the form one way the same, and then another the contrary way, and afterwards try them with the sheet of paper opened out, when any little variation that may occur Avill be easily remedied before he cuts the furniture. Twenties. — A form of this size has four pages in width, and five in length; in width the margin Avill be made in the same manner as for twelves ; in the length there are two heads or bolts, which will be also ascertained as for twelves; the space between the feet of the pages must be out and out, except about a Pica body; and the ofFcut must be treated the same as for a form of twelves or eighteens. Twenty-fours. — The side margin will be ascertained just as for eighteens, there being the same number of pages in width; and the head and foot margin as for sixteens; the difference in the size of the pages not affecting the principle of making margin. Long Twenty-fours. — A form of this size is similar to a sheet of twelves imposed in one chase, the Avidth of the pages being the longest way of the paper: the method of making margin for it Avill be similar to that for twelves or eighteens. Square Twenty-fours. — The difference between this size and twent}"- fours is, that the Avidth of the pages occupy the sheet the longest Avay; the margin will be made in the same manner. Thirty-twos. — One quarter of a form nf thirty-tAvos is similar to a form of octavo; and the margin may be made by folding a quarter of a sheet of paper, and arranging the pages of a quarter of the form only in the first instance: then place the others at the same relative distances, and try the Avhole Avith the sheet of paper opened out, before cutting the furniture. There is no variation in any principle of making margin as to the re¬ maining sizes; and if 1 Avere to go into detail for each, it would be but a repetition of the method of ascertaining the Avidth of the gutters, backs, heads or bolts, and of the spaces at the feet of the pages where they either cut up, or fold, at that part, Avhich I think unnecessary; for Avhen a person is competent to make margin correctly for an octavo, a twelves, and an eighteens, he Avill find no difficulty Avith respect to the other sizes. Wherever a half sheet is imposed, or two half sheets to Avork together, the middle margin, where the sheet is cut in two, should a^pys be made out and out, that both the fore edges may be equal. ^ When the margin to the first sheet of a Avork has been'made, and the quoins tightened with the fingers, a gauge should be cut for the back and 478 MATHEMATICAL COMBINATIONS. head, for the succeeding sheets. See Alteration of Margin.— G.\uge.—Imposing. M.AllGINAL NOTES, generally called side notes by printers, are notes at the fore edge of the page, running from top to bottom, or placed opposite the matter to which they refer, when they are short. They are generally of the width of a broad quotation; in historical works, where there is only a date at the top of each page, a narrow quotation is run down the side. They are always used in acts of jiarliament, and in law books, ami contain a short abstract of the clause to ^^hich they are af- Ii.\ed, and should be justiKed to range with the line to which they refer. It is usual, where marginal notes are not heavy, to economise the metal (juotations by using furniture; in this case I would advise the compositor to select pieces of precisely the same width, but of ditlerent short leiigth.s, and to cut their ends square ; some should e.xtend the length of the page; and when he uses short ])ieces, that he always put a metal quotation or a justilier next to the note, which will cause the lines to stand more even; he will then not lose so much time in seeking ({uotations and justi- fiers, nor will he be blamed for monopolising them, as they are seldom .so plentiful in an oHicc as to allow of being lavishly used. .Marks.

Thorowgood and Besley to a number of ornamental designs for letter-pre.ss printing, which they were, in the first instance, the means of'introducing into England from I’aris, these being the invention and execution of .Mons. Derriey, a I'rench artist. In England, they come under the denomination of what are called Flowers; but .Messrs. V. & .1. Figgins style them Changeable Borders. Tlie flowers in the English founderies have received little improve¬ ment or addition during the last hundrctl years, and are not remarkable either for their beauty or taste: the consequence i.s, that they arc seldom used, hardly ever indeed in line works. It is ditKcuIt to account for this apathy of our letter founders and artists, for the few improvements that have been introduced, have generally been copied from French patterns. The borders in question are a great improvement, and will, by excit¬ ing emulation, most probably lead to others still greater. They are of various patterns, formed of straight lines, as well as of diversified curves ; the corners are also formed of angles and curves, so that they may be combined into an almost innumerable variety of forms; in addition, there arc many detached tasteful pieces, which, when judiciously used, will add greatly to the effect; but unless the workman pos.sess judgment with some taste, it is doubtful whether he will be able to produce a border, or any other subject, that will be gratifying to the eye. That the reader may hiinsrlf form an opinion of these borders, I have given two pages in which several of tlicse pieces are arranged .so as to show their effect. Those who are desirous of seeing all the varieties, may find them in the type founders specimen books, where there are a number of borders of different forms and patterns, which are combined in such a manner as to convince the beholder of the superiority of these ornaments over our old class of flowers. » As the French and German type founders, when they produce any new devices, sell matrices of them as articles of trade, the ornaments that are now introduced into England, have consequently all been manufac¬ tured from the same punches.

A few years ago, a new press was con¬ structed by Mr. Medhurst, of London, the great recommendation of which was its simplicity, and consequent cheapness. In its general form it much resembled the iron presses in common use, the principal differ¬ ence being in the manner in which the pressure was produced. This was accomplished by means of an ingenious arrangement of levers, dif¬ fering so much from every thing previously employed in machinery, that the inventor described his contrivance as one which exhibited a new power in mechanics. The principle upon which this press acts will be understood from the annexed sketch of the parts by means of which the impression is given. Instead of a screw, a plain spindle is employed : on the lower part of this spindle there is a swell or collar. A, into which the handle, or working bar of the press,. B, is fastened. The upper part of this collar has cups or steps for the reception of two short iron props or pins, C, D, which extend up to the head of the press, and are there supported by the points of two screws, E, F, entering sockets cut out in the heads of the pins, which are made of steel. When the platen is up, these pins stand in an inclined position, as repre¬ sented in the annexed figure : but when the lever handle is pulled towards the spectator, so as to turn the spindle, the two screws remain stationary, while the props come into a vertical position, thus forcing the spindle and attached platen to descend, as if a screw were employed. It may be observed that, in the figure, G is merely a section of the head of the press, which is supposed to be looked at sidewise, to present the back and front projections, H, I, through which the screws pass. — Lardner’s Cabinet Cyclopaedia, 1833.

In speaking of type metal, 1 shall first give Mo.xon’s description of making it, which is curious; and then some interesting observations on the same subject by M. Sage, from the Journal de Physique. Moxon says— “ What the metal founders make printing letters of, is lead hardened with iron : thus, they choose stub nails for the best iron to melt, as well because they are assured stub nails are made of good, soft, and tough iron, as because they (being in small pieces of iron) will melt the .sooner. “ To make the iron run, they mingle an equal weight of antimony (beaten in an iron mortar into small i)ieces) and stub nails together. And preparing so many earthen forty or fifty pounds melting pots (made for that puTimse to endure the fire) as they intend to use: they charge these pots with the mingled iron and antimony as full as they will hold. “ Every time they melt metal, they build a new furnace to melt it in: this furnace is called an open furnace ; because the air blows in through all its sides to fan the fire; they make it of bricks in a broad open place, as well because the air may have free access to all its sides, as that the vapours of the antimony (which are obnoxious) may the less olfend those that ulliciate at the making of the metal ; and also because the violent fire made in the furnace should not endanger the firing any adjacent houses, “ They consider, before they make the furnace, how many pots of metal they intend to melt, and make the furnace sizeable to that number: we will suppose five pots. Therefore they first make a circle on the ground capable to hold these five pot.s, and wider yet by three or four inches round aljout : then uithin this circle they lay a course of bricks close to one another to fill the plain of that platform, with their broad or flat sides downwards, and their ends all one way, and on this course of bricks they lay another course of bricks as before, only the lengths of this course of bricks lies athwart the breadths of the other course of bricks ; then they lay a third course of bricks with their lengths cross the breadth of the second course of bricks. “ Having thus raised a |)latfurm, they place these five pots in the middle of it close to one another, and then on the foundation or ))latform raise the furnace round about by laying the bricks of the first lay end to end and flat, close to one another; on the second lay, they place the middle of a brick over a joint (as the bricklayers call it) that is, where the ends of two bricks join together, and so again lay bricks end to end till they trim round the platform. Then they lay a third bay of bricks, covering the joints of the second lay of bricks as before ; so is the foundation finished. “ 'nicn they raise the walls to the furnace on this foundation ; but do not lay the ends of their bricks close together, but lay the ends of each brick about three inches off each other, to serve for wind holes till they trim round about : then they lay another lay of bricks, leaving other such wind holes over the middle of the last lay of bricks, and so trim as they work round, either with half bricks or bats, that the wind holes of the last lay ^loy be covered : and in this manner and order they lay so many lays, till the walls of the furnace be raised about three bricks higher than the mouths of the melting pots, still observing to leave such wind holes over the middle of every brick that lies under e.ach lay. “ Then they fill the sides of the furnace round about the melting pots, and over them, with charcoal, and fire it at several wind holes in the bottom, fill it bum up and all over the furn.ace, which a moderate wind in about an hour’s time will do; and about half an hour's time after, they lay their ears near the ground and listen to hear a bubbling in the pots; and this they do so often till they do hear it. M'hen they hear this bubbling, they conclude the iron is melted ; but yet they will let it stand, perhaps half an hour longer or more, according as they guess the fire to be hotter or cooler, that they may be the more assured it is all thoroughly melted. And when it is melted, the melting pot will not be a quarter full. “ .\nd in or against that time, they make another small furnace close to the first, (to set an iron pot in, in which they melt lead.) on that side from whence the wind blows ; because the person that lades the lead out of the iron pot (as shall be shewed by and by) may be the less annoyed with the fumes of the metal, in both furnace.s. This furnace is made of three or four course of bricks open to the windward, and wide METAL, 485 enough to contain the designed iron pot, with room between it and the sides to hold a convenient quantity of charcoal under it, and about it. “ Into this iron pot they put for every three pound of iron, about five and twenty pounds of lead. And, setting fire to the coals in this little furnace, they melt and heat this lead red hot. “ Hitherto a man (nay, a boy) might officiate at all this work ; but now comes labour would make Hercules sweat. Now they fall to pulling down so much of the side of the open furnace as stands above the mouth of that melting pot next the iron pot, and having a thick strong iron ladle, whose handle is about two yards long, and the ladle big enough to hold about ten pounds of lead, and this ladle red hot that it chill not the metal; they now, I say, with this ladle, fall to clearing this first melting pot of all the coals or filth that lie on the top of the melted metal; while another man at the same time stands provided with a long, strong, round iron stirring poot, the handle of which stirring poot is also about two yards long or more, and the poot itself almost twice the length of the depth of the melting pot; this poot is nothing but a piece of the same iron turned to a square with the handle : and this poot is also in a readiness heated red hot. “ Now one man with the ladle lades the lead out of the iron pot into the melting pot, while the other man with the poot stirs and labours the lead and metal in the melting pot together, till they think the lead and metal in the melting pot be well incorporated : and thus they continue lading and stirring till they have near filled the melting pot. “ Then they go to another next melting pot, and successively to all, and lade and stir lead into them as they did into the first. Which done, the metal is made: and they pull down the walls of the open furnace, and take away the fire that the metal may cool in the pots. “ Now (according to custom) is half a pint of sack mingled with sallad oil, provided for each workman to drink ; intended for an antidote against the poisonous fumes of the antimony, and to restore the spirits that so violent a fire and hard labour may have exhausted. ” — Moxon. Smith, who published his Printer’s Grammar about seventy years after the appearance of Moxon’s work, says, “ In Germany they use more than three ingredients to their metal, which is there made of steel, iron, copper, brass, tin, and lead; all which they incorporate with each other by means of antimony. This metal, if duly prepared, does not bend, but breaks like glass; it is harder than tin and lead, something softer than copper, and melts sooner than lead. This account I have of Mr. Struke, a printer at Lubec.” “ Observations on the Metallic Mixture made use of for casting Letters, or Characters, for Printing. By M. Sage, From the Journal de Physique. “ Lead and regulus of antimony, melted together in various proportions, form the metal used by letter founders, for casting their different types or characters. When I say that these metals are used in various proportions, 1 mean, that more or less of the regulus of antimony is mixed with the lead, according to the degree of hardness the types are required to possess. In general, eighty pounds of lead are added to twenty pounds of regulus of antimony, already melted : but, for the small characters, in which a greater degree of hardness is required, seventy-five pounds of lead are used to twenty-five pounds of regulus of antimony; and, for large ones, eighty-five pounds of lead, and fifteen pounds of regulus of antimony. “ These two substances, though of Very different specific gravities [Lead, H‘35. — Antimony 6'70. — S'.], remain perfectly combined, and do not separate from each other by fusion, unless the fire made use of is so strong as to burn and volatilize them ; in that case, the antimony begins to exhale. “ Letter founders should take care to employ only the purest regulus of antimony, or that which is the most free from sulphur ; for, when it contains any of that substance, it acts upon the lead, in the course of time, and forms with it a kind of galena, which acquires a black colour. The letters cast with a mixed metal of that kind, instead of preserving their shining and polished appearance, become dull, and as it were cracked, forming also a sort of efflorescence. When this spontaneous decomposition takes place, the letters become brittle, and lose their form. Of this I have been convinced, by having analyzed a mixture of this kind, with which M. Anisson had cast some Arabic characters. “ Having exposed some of the letters, made with this'bad metal, to a violent fire, the 486 MONK. sulphur it contained burnt, and exhaled, in the fonn of vitriolic acid. Having then poured the metal remaining in the crucible into an ingot, it acquired a white bril¬ liant colour like silver ; which colour did not become sensibly changed, by being left, for the space of six months, in a damp place. “ Regulus of antimony k prepared, in the large way, by melting calcined antimony, in a reverberatory furnace, with dried wine lees; from this is obtained the regulus, which is sold in the fonn of round cakes, on the surface of which are seen figures like the leaves of fern, &c. which figures are produced from the elements of octo'edral crystals. If the regulus, thus prepared, appears more grey in colour than when it is prepared according to Stahl's process, it is because it still retains a portion of sulphur. “ At present, there is not found a suificient quantity of regulus of antimony in com¬ merce to supply the letter founders. It appears to me that, in the place of regulus of antimony prepared as above, we might substitute that which may be prepared with iron. One-fit\h part of iron is suificient to absorb all the suipbur with which antimony is mineralized. When this mixture is melted, it must be poured into a cone: the sulphuretted iron remains upon the surface of the regulus, and is very easily separated from it. “ 'Iliis process is less expeasive, and produces more regulus, than the process made use of by those who work the mines of antimony. “ Itegulus of antimony, as we have seen, gives hardness to lead ; but a much greater degree of hardness is produced by adding tin to the mixture. I have analyzed some nails which were proposed to be u.sed in shipbuilding, and found them to contain three parts of tin, two parts of lead, and one part of regulus of antimony. These nails were sullieiently hard to penetrate oak wood, without being blunted ; and this metallic mix¬ ture is not acted upon by sea water, which very quickly decomposes iron. ’ These observations of‘ M. Sage sliow the utility of iron in tlie making of ty{)e metal by our predecessors, from its combining with the sulphur contained in the antimony. Stercoty|)e founders vary considerably the proportions of lead and regulus of antimony in making titeir metal. The liardest metal made, is in the jiroportion of ten pounds of regulus of antimony to forty ])ounds of tea lead ; but the general projtortions are ten pounds of regulus of antimony to sixty pounds of lead, which arc said to make a mixture of a good (piality. iMKTAL UULUy. Straight lines cast on jiicces of metal similar to r|uadrats, but higher; they are rarely cast to founts larger than English. They are used as leaders; to cut off sums of money from the line which contains the sum total; for transverse lines in columns; .sometimes for column rules, but very seldom ; and for blatiks, where the names of per¬ sons, etc., are omitted; em metal rules arc sometimes used for divisions in a paragraph instead of a point. They are generally of one em, two ems, three cm.s, and four ems, but in English founts their size does not exceed tliree ems; sometimes there are en metal rules cast. Metal rules ought to be cast exactly on the middle of the body, and be continued preci.sely to the sides, so as to join each other at the ends, even if they are placed alternately with the sides reversed; should this not be the case, the continuity of the line must be broken, and it will necessarily have a disagreeable appearance.

MUSIC. 487 MUSIC. It is not necessary in this work to define what music is, nor enter at all into any disquisition on the subject, as the object is the printing of it only; and all that I shall attempt is to give the plan of a pair of Music Cases, with the characters, and a specimen. The English musical types have never to my knowledge’ undergone any improvement, till within a few years, when Mr. Hughes cut two new founts, which are looked upon as the best we have, and the largest of which I have used for this article. Mr. E. Cowper devised a plan for printing music, in which one page was the lines only, and the other page was the notes, &c. only, and the chase was prepared to turn upon a centre fixed in the table of a press: thus the first impression was that of the lines without the notes, &c. on one page, and the notes, &c. without the lines on the other; the form was then turned half round, and the second impression was, the lines on the notes on one page, and the notes on the lines on the other. There is an objection to this plan for good work, which is, that the page of notes requires a different making ready to the page of lines, and when the two are completed they will be unequal in the effect, for either the lines will be too strong, or the notes have too little impression. Mr. R. Branston struck out a different mode : he produced his music by the usual process for printing it with the rolling press, only the punches were struck deeper in the plate, and he then took a stereotype plate from it in type metal, and after the white parts were blocked out the music was sufficiently in relief to be printed at the type press. Both, these plans were adopted to preserve the continuity of the lines, which in types got rounded off by wear where they joined, and spoiled the appearance. In distributing music, the compositor should be careful not to injure the corners of the lines. Music of the Presses. When a house has sufficient business to employ all the presses within it, and a master printer walks through his press room when they are all at work, and hears the creaking of the heads, the thumping of the balls, the noise of the running in and out of the carriage, and all the other miscellaneous, and, to unaccustomed ears, discordant noises, he styles them the music of the presses, which he declares to be the finest music in the world, as it brings grist to his m.ill. The Music of the Presses, before the introduction of cylindrical machines worked by steam engines, was a standing toast after dinner at all parties among printers; and I hope it will never be neglected. 488 MUSIC, p4 H O So s c/3 W ffi c 2 Hh Pi O b c/3 W C/3 < O fa o /t; < fa fa cc 2 o o o s d ja N 0 cm r L r k. £/y ^1 r jr cU TiT u / " 1 n ✓ \ u 12 cm ( T1 a j 1 ( 10 cm r Q 0 u ( ( , 8 cm r 1t^ Q >1 L ( ( “ o e c ce .cr i_a M IIU ■i Tf i (O L IJSX 1 _eJ Iff + « Uttftl lirr - A ±4^ Jd 4=t firr - A mi let. mi inur Lower Case.

The additional names were collected by myself. In the towns marked * printing was carried on in the fifteenth cen¬ tury ; and Dr. A. Clarke says -— “ In this List, great care has been taken not to omit one place where printing was carried on prior to the year 1500.” — “In this list, because the name refers to the work executed there, the genitive case has been retained. Panzer in his list has fol¬ lowed the same plan. This will be of some use to the mere English scholar, as he will at once see the same form of the word in its alpha¬ betical order in this list, which he finds in the title of his book.” In the towns marked f printing has been established and carried on since the fifteenth century, and Dr. A. Clarke observes — “ This part might have been much enlarged, but it was not judged indispensably ne¬ cessary. As the most difficult names are here explained, which usually occur in the titles of books, the residue it is hoped will occasion little em¬ barrassment to any scholar.” — “ It may be necessary to observe, for the information of the less experienced reader, that in this Supplement, as the Latin name stands in reference to no printed work, the nominative .

NEWSPAPERS. The following report on the regular mode of working on Newspapers, contains much interesting information re¬ specting this branch of the printing business. I feel gratified in being able to give a copy of it, as it is little known beyond the circle of the newspaper department, and I am satisfied it will prove serviceable to the trade at large, for newspapers are now fre¬ quently printed in book houses, where the regulations connected with them are not generally known: and I also think I am acting in accord¬ ance with the motives of the Committee that drew it up, in giving it more publicity; for they say, a Committee was appointed “ to draw up, and circulate, for the information of the trade, a statement of the regular mode of working on newspapers.—‘ to guide the ignorant, to guard the unwary; ’ to assist them in their labours, and to maintain that harmony which should ever subsist between two branches in one profession.” And, “ your Committee have extracted from, or inserted 504 NEWSPAPEKS. at length, every document relating to regulations or prices since 1785, which they trust wilt not be considered uninteresting, and, handed down as records, may yet be useful.” “KEPORT Of a Committee appointed to draw up a Statement of tlie regular Mode of working on Newspapers, for the Information of the Trade; to examine Doeuments, and to report the same. — Read July 29, 1820. *• The object which your Committee were directed to accomplish (that of giving a fair scale of work, mode, time, and price, on all Xewsjmpers, wherever published) has l>een entered into with zeal on their parts and they trust will he found to your satisfaction, 'i'hey have examined the bases of all official agreements and all acknowledged and understood rules; and have particularly adhered to their instructions by keeping in view, ‘ that it was to guide the ignorant, to prevent the evil intentions of the unprinci¬ pled, and, if possible, to form a closer bond of union among yourselves’ “ Laws are rendered mure sicred, more valid, by age; and in performance of the task assigned them, the Committee commenced their labours by tracing the Regulations fur News Work back to a certain period, in order to support them in their declaration, that they had been introduced on fair principles that they had been cordially agreed to b}|| the Masters, had been acted upon by the employed for so great a length of time, nnir that any innovation made on those regulations by an employer, or set of men acting for themselves without the concurrence of the general l>udy of News Compositors, should be opposed, and those concerned in such an attempt treated as enemies to their fellow- workmen, and marked as acting inimically to the interests of their profession. “ It was necess.ary fur your Committee, fur the maintenance of the superstructure, to examine its foundation ; with this view they have, from oral testimony, l>een enabled to collect the size and price of various Newspaiwrs from 1770. They consisted of 16 small columns, some 18, some 19, and others 20 ems Long Primer wide. The galley waa l;iO or 132 lines, and oO ufter-linrs, l.aing I’rimer ; Rrevier galley 96, after-lines .S8. (The only exception was the olil Daily .hlrertiser, which contained I 2 columns of 25 ems Long I’rimer wide, the galley in proportion.) The prices were, full hands 27 j<. ; supernumeraries 13s.; galley Us. ‘Jil.; 5d. per thousand; and orrr hours (id. Super- nuinerurirs (a term which explains itself) were not known ten years prior to this date. Most of the papers were small folios; and ns they were nearly all connveted with, or done in llook-honses the eldest apprentice, upon a pres.s of matter, was usually called in to assist. I'pun the subose on Friday, they be paid Sixpence per hour extra for the same, or an e<|unl proportion of time allowed on Sunday, in the same manner ns is usual on other Days of the Week. III. That 3a. be added to the present Weekly Siilary of Compositors fully em- plt^ed on Evening Pafiers publisfieil three times a week. “ ‘ IV. That the S;ilar)' of Supernumemries employed on either of the above be increased in |iruportion. ’• ‘ These, Sir, are the propositions submitted to you, to be laid before the Gentlemen Proprietors, not doubting but that the reasonableness of the Compositors' demands will be evident to you, and that it will meet with your .approbation and concurrence, especially when it is considered that the advance they require is .so nearly pro))ortiunate to that lately obtained on Rook-work.’ “ It will he necessary to state that the terms Evening Pafiers used in this document, allude only to the desire expressed in the ihinl proposition. The we m.ade between Daily Morning and Dally Evening Pafiers, Rut this request of the Newsmen did not seem to be answered with cordiality by the Masters, for your Committee have a copy of the Report of the News Committee, dated .\pril 20, 179.3, which, after mentioning the names of 15 Delegates present, at two in the afternoon, previous to the general meeting to he held at seven in the evening, states “ • Tliat, pursuant to a printed circular Letter, signed ‘ .lOIlN RIvLL,’ the Com¬ mittee adjourn to .-Vnclerton's Coffee-house, to hold a conference as requested, on some Propositions laid before the Printers .and Proprietors of Newspapers, by the .Tourney- men employed by them. — .Adjourned accordingly. Six o’clock, P. M. “ ‘ Tlic Deleg-ates having returned to the Hole-in-thc-Wall, report to the General iMceting. Tliat they met with the Representatives from the following Newspapers, viz.

Printers present, though personally requested, declined entering upon the Subject, the Discussion of which your Delegates were required to liEnoEa, Herald, World, Morniso Chronicle, Times AND Diart. attend. That the above-mentioned ToAit Bell, instead of attending to the Business to which thev were expressly called, endeavoured to persuade them to accede to the following Resolutions, as particularly advantageous to the Employers and Employed, viz. NEWSPAPERS. 507 “ ‘ April 20, 1793. “ ‘ At an Adjourned Meeting of the Proprietors and Representatives of the Daily Newspapers, held this Day at Anderton’s Coffee-house, to consider the Propositions of the Daily Newspaper Compositors, “‘Present,'—The Representatives of the Ledger, — Herald, ~ World ,— Morning Chronicle, — Oracle, — True Briton. “ ‘ Considering the Requisitions and Pretensions of the Newspaper Compositors in the most extensive and liberal Points of View, so far as they are connected with the fair Interests of their Employers, it was resolved, to recommend the Prices and Regu¬ lations in future for Newspaper work to he fixed on the following Plan : “ ‘ That each regular Compositor be paid One Pound Fourteen Shillings per Week. “ ‘ That the Hours of regular Attendance for composing, be from Three o’Clock in the Afternoon until the Paper goes to Press. “ ‘ That whenever the Time of going to Press shall exceed Three o’Clock in the Morning, the Times of Attendance on the same Day shall he in the following Manner, viz. “ ‘ When the Paper goes to Press at — 3 to begin at 3 4 3 5 3 6 4 7 4 8 to begin at 5 9. G 10 7 11 . 8 12. 9 “ ‘ That the Supernumerary Compositors shall be allowed one Shilling per Week over and above their present Pay, supposing that such Supernumerary shall compose one Column per Day, and so in Proportion. “ ‘ That your Delegates felt the Indignity offered to them, but bore it with the Patience which the Justice of the cause in which they were engaged only could warrant. “ ‘ That your Delegates, with a becoming Dignity, rejected the Resolutions of the said John Bell. “ ‘ That your Delegates, from the Consideration of the Labour required, find their first Proposition unanswered, unopposed, and therefore just.’ “ ‘ Ten o' Clock, P. M. “ ‘ The General Meeting unanimously approve of the Conduct of the Delegation ; and further resolve, “ ‘ That the Original Propositions standing uncontroverted, the same be strictly adhered to.’ “ The Resolution in the last paragraph of this Report was most rigidly adhered to; and your Committee cannot but lament, that the first attempt of your brethren to introduce Laws and Regulations for the reciprocal benefit of the employer and employed, was met by such proposition on the part of one Proprietor, that, in order to carry their point, they were obliged to enter into a Resolution that a general notice of quitting their situations, according to the custom of the trade, should be given. Before the expiration of the fortnight, however, an accommodation was proposed by the Employers individually ; but upon the principle that a material difference existed, both in labour and comfort, between an Evening and a Morning Paper, the Newsmen agreed to a distinction being made in the price. Morning Papers received the sum required of 4s. 6d., but Evening Papers only 2s. 6d. The wages of the former were IZ. 16s.; Supernumeraries 17s.; the galley 2 s. lOd. : the Evening Papers were 34s. ; Super¬ numeraries 16s. ; the galley 2 s. 8d. Within this period the term Assistants was first recognized. Your Committee are not enabled to state whether any satisfactory agree¬ ment was entered into with respect to the second Proposition of the Journeymen relating to the commencing work on Sundays. It would appear that they only requested that day’s indulgence, for they already possessed it on the others. Some of the Journals at this time jiaid but 6d. per hour, while others, more liberal, paid on those of the Morning 7jd. and on the Evening Id. for over-hours or Assistants. “ In the month of October, 1793, the same year of the rise, your Committee find that the Journeymen had occasion, from the accumulation of labour on Daily News¬ papers, to object to the employment of Apprentices, as a strong desire was evinced, at this period, of returning to the system, by employing run-awags, or turn-overs, as they were denominated. The Employers conceiving they had been forced to accede to the rise in the month of April preceding, appeared determined to take advantage of the men, by paying themselves for their defeat by the difference of price between Appren¬ tices and Journeymen. Suspicion had been long awake that some innovation was intended, and the scheme soon developed itself; the Newsmen assembled, and entered into certain Resolutions, which, with a statement of their case, were sent round the Trade for the concurrence or disapproval of the Bookmen. They were readily adopted 508 NEWSPAPERS. by the latter, and your Committee present an Extract from the Journeymen’s Address, and their Resolutions. “ ‘ October 1, 1793. “ ‘ Can any reasonable Advocate be found for the Introduction of Apprentices on Newspapers ? We do not believe there can. — A Companionship on a Newspaper, distinct and different in its Nature from Book-work, requires equal Attention, equal Exertion, and equal Interest. And can this be expected (we ask) from an Apprentice? Companionships find it their mutual interest to be watchful over each other, and see that each does an equal share; which, if not done, is easily remedied among them¬ selves. But who is it that will say this can be done with an Apprentice? A Journey¬ man must be attentive, or, from the Representations of his Companions, he loses his situation. But how is this to take place in regard to Apprentices ? If complaints are made to the Printer, how can he rectify them? It is evident to us that he cannot. Your time of employment is not to be forced on an .-Vpprentice; he can refuse to work either by Night or on Sunday, and be justified in his refusal ; and Magistrates must sanction him. Indeed, experience has proved that it is generally impossible to keep an Apprentice to the Business on a Newspaper with regularity ; they have no interest to bind them ; they have no obligation to coin|)el them. Need there be a further Argu¬ ment used in support of our opinion ? We trust not. Under these circumstances,^ then, there is only one thing remaining for us to recommend — to unite in a firm Phalanx, and to be unanimous.' “ ‘ RESOLUTIONS. 1. That New.spaper printing, being necessarily conducted by Companionships, requires in each Companion corresjmndmg abilities, corresponding modes of reasoning, and corresponding interests. “ ‘ II. 'lliat an .Apprentice, not being at liberty to act for himself, cannot be supposed to possess an et|ual and independent inotle of reasoning, and therefore has not a cor¬ responding interest. III. That the introduction tif an .Apprentice upon a Newspaper will occasion a clashing of interests which may, in the end, prove highly detrimental, not only to the Companionship, but to the Properly on which they are engaged, and likewise to the whole hotly of Compositors, by enlarging the field for the employment of .Appren¬ tices. IV. That therefore the Compositors on Newspapers arc firmly and decidedly of opinion, that an .Apprentice is by no means an adctpiatc Companion. <“ V. .And therefore they will resi-st, to the utmo.st of their power, any attempt (if any such attempt should happen) to obtrude an Apprentice upon them.' •• The .system, however, commenced in the month of October, upon one .Tournal, which lasted about five years — and upon another which continued nearly eleven years; but in the end you were successful : and men were again eng.sgcd U|K)n these Journals on a fair principle. 'Ilie fate of some who had worked with the boys should have served as a warning—they were neglected, despised, and ultimately driven from the profession. Your Committee cannot refrain from congratulating the Journeymen of that periml on their unanimity and perseverance; and at this moment, upon a due con¬ sideration of the present .state of our busines.s rejoice in their patriotism, and return thanks to every individual now in Ircing concerned in the opposition given to the attempt. •< 1801.]_Your Committee have thus led you to the conclusion of the second period of seven years, through the whole of which the country w.-i.s engaged in a war with nearly all the European quarter of the glol>c. and, as ha.s been stated for 1793, your lalrour increased with the demand for news by the public, and by the struggles of the Journals for pre-eminence, which, added to the alarming price of provisions and all other family requisites made it again neces-sary to .solicit an advance of wages. In the month of November, 1800, the Book-men requested a rise, and certain regulations applicable to their department. It wa.s granted to the amount of l-6th, and took place on the 1st of Jami.ary. 1801. Shortly after, almost gratuitously, the News department received an advance of 1-9th (or •!.«.) on Morning, and 1-I1th (or 3s) on Evening I’apcrs The former were now 2/.; Supernumeraries 19*.; per galley 3*. 2rf.; Assist¬ ants 9^/. per hour; the Evening. 1.'. 17*. ; Supernumeraries 17*.; per galley 2*. lOd.; Assistants 8^. per hour. “ Thus terminated the third rise from 1785. In this period several disputes occurred; but your Committee will only repeat those relating to the general interest From the extensive sale of some of the Evening I’a|)ers the work was obliged to l)c performed in a manner that, from its evil tendency, required some modification; the hours for com¬ position were not so well defined as hereafter they appear to have been, and the follow- NEWSPAPERS. 509 ing Resolution, as applicable to Evening Papers, was agreed to among the Newsmen; ‘ That all composition cease when the day’s publication goes to press—^all work after¬ wards to be paid for as extra, or deducted from the first work of tlie next publication.’ This did not apply to the second or third editions of the day’s paper; that being com¬ pleted, those additions could have no claim on the following publication. The quantity and quality of the matter were also better defined within this period. Brevier was the smallest type till 1784, when Minion was introduced; and the adequate number of lines, by their proportion to Long Primer and width of column, were regulated by the Companionships and their Printers. This continued till 1793, when the different pro¬ portions were generally understood, and a printed graduated Scale for Long Primer, Brevier, and Minion, according to width, was found in each News-house. This appears to have been requisite, as your Committee learn, that, from 1789, it was the custom on some Journals to widen their columns, during the sitting of Parliament, one or two ems, and reducing them in the recess. At this date a misunderstanding still existed relative to the hour of beginning on Sundays. Certain regulations were adopted respecting the twelve hours’ work (Including refreshment time, galley and ‘ lines,' and correcting), and the time of commencing on that day. — Your Committee must observe, that the Compositors employed on Morning Papers at this period were not uniform in their hours of beginning on Sundays, and disputes frequently occurred on that point. This might have arisen from the different temper and polities of the Journals on which they were engaged ; some entering at length on the Friday night’s Debates in Parlia¬ ment, Foreign News, &c., while others were content with giving the Public a moderate portion of both. Competition, however, soon made the labour on the Journals equal, and, in 1803, the hour of commencing on the Sunday, regulated by the Saturday’s finish, became general. “ Your Committee also state that they have endeavoured to trace the origin of what are termed the ‘after-lines' of the first work; tradition has vaguely assisted them in their research. 'They learn that they were general in 1777, but differing in amount. The term is not mentioned in the Propositions of 1793, but is acknowledged in the Regulations before mentioned; your Committee are therefore led to conclude that they arose with the subdivision of labour on the smaller Papers, prior to 1770, and suppose that custom, arising from local convenience, sanctioned their adoption by your prede¬ cessors. “1809.] — In pursuing their plan, your Committee observe nothing of material conse¬ quence occurring in the News department till the year 1809, when the still-increasing price of provisions rendered it necessary for the Compositors to solicit a rise of prices, and on the 19th of May the Newsmen issued a Circular, addressed ‘ To the Proprietors of Newspapers,’ requesting an advance of l-5th on their wages, — i. e. 8s. per week on Morning, and 6s. per week on Evening Papers. “ In the two former Circulars, certain propositions were submitted, to be accepted, modified, or rejected; but the present one was accompanied by the first and regular Scale for News Work, and signed by 198 Newsmen. Your Committee will introduce an extract from the introductory paragraphs, and the Seale itself, which completed the edifice you had long laboured to rear. “ After stating the necessity the Newsmen were under of soliciting the assistance of the Employers to enable them, by their industry, to make their existence comfortable, they point out the moderation of their request, by giving a comparative statement of the prices for family necessaries, between 1793 and 1809, by which it appeared, that in six¬ teen years they were nearly doubled. They further add, that “ ‘ It has been observed by the Duke of Portland, in his letter to the Lord Lieutenant of Oxford, that ‘ there is no reason why the labour of the Handicraftsman, the Mechanic, and the Artizan, should not keep pace with the advance on the articles of the Farmer, Grazier,' §•£. Upon this principle, the justice of which is too evident to need the smallest comment, might we not calculate, as Morning Papers, in 1793, were paid 36s., and Evening Papers 34s. that we should now receive nearly 31. 12s. on the Morning Papers, instead of 21. ; and nearly 31. 8s. instead of If. 17s. on the Evening? “ ‘ There is another consideration to which we must beg to call your attention; at the time of the last advance a ratio of one-sixth was obtained on all works in Book- houses, which proportion was not received by those employed on Newspapers; four shillings only being granted on Morning Papers, which before that time'were 36s., and three shillings on Evening Papers, which previously were 34s., being only one-ninth on the former, and scarcely an eleventh on the latter. These circumstances, together with the great increase of labour on Papers of late years, arising from the introduction of so large a portion of small letter, are considerations which, we hope, will not be passed over without that deliberation they deserve. “ ‘ From an impartial view of the comparative statements and the proposed advance, 510 NEWSPAPERS. it will be seen that we have kept perfectly within the limits prescribed by justice. We have pursued this line of conduct from a solicitude to avoid the introduction of any thing which might prevent your ready compliance with our request. “ ‘ PROPOSED SCALE. Daily Morning Papers to be paid . £2 8 0 Per Galley on ditto . 0 3 9J Daily Evening Papers 2 3 o' Per Galley on Ditto . 0 3 7 “ ‘ Tliat Ten Hours Composition be the specific time for Daily Eveniu" Papers. “ ‘ That Assistance be jraid at per Hour in proportion to the sum per Galley, consider¬ ing the Galley as Four Hours Composition. “ ‘ Papers Three Times a-Week, and \\’eekly Papers, to take an advance in proportion to that on Evening Papers. “ ‘ That the above advance do take place from Saturday the 3d of June, 1809.’ “ This request was verbally and negatively answered in the dififerent News Houses, and the 3d of June passed over as if no solicitation for a rise of prices had been made. The Journeymen felt the necessity of perseverance, and the following Circular was sent to the Employers, dated June 13, signed by the same number of men : “ ‘ Gentlimen,—^,W e cannot help expressing our surprise at the manner in which our request has been passed over; nearly a month has elapsed, and no answer has been com¬ municated. Had we in our Scale gone further than the urgency of the times renders necessary, or had we neglected to shew that respect which your situations in life require, we might have anticipated such indin'erence; but feeling our conduct nut liable to such objection, we arc entirely at a loss to assign any motive for the want of attention to our present circumstances; and we feel ourselves under the necessity of retjuesting an answer by Saturday next; a noncuinplionce with which will be considered as a refusal of our propositions.’ V This second Circular received no answer, and on the 20th of June, the regular notice of rt of a Committee of Masters, dated June 30, accompanied by a string of Ucsolutiuns, but not meeting the request of the men. “ Your Committee regret that the document is too voluminous for insertion, but they will make a few extracts in furtherance of their present object. It commences with stating, that ' .V General Meeting of the Proprietors of lAuidon Morning and Evening I’apers was held this day (June 30, 1809), Mr. Stuart in the Chair, to take into con¬ sideration the Keport of the Committi'c appointed to en<|uirc into, and report their opinion upon the Circular Letter of the Compositors, respecting certain alleged griev¬ ances, and demanding an advance of Wages; present five Daily Morning, and five Daily Evening Papers,’ imd that the s.iid Report was read. —To answer the aliovc-mentioned ‘ Circular Letter,’ eleven paragraphs arc given, and a comparative Table of the Prices of Necessaries, from 1793 to 1809, in contradiction to that given in by the Journey¬ men. “ 'Flic Jirat paragraph condemns the strong spirit evinced by the men in demanding so large a rise as 20 per cent, on their labour; and protests against the ‘ Scale proposed,’ ns containing * Ruler and Restrictions new to the Trade, and embarrassing to the Proprietors while no reciprocal benefit or advantage is held out.’ “ The second attempts to controvert the assertion of the Newsmen, that they ‘ ex¬ perienced difliculties in procuring the necessaries of life,’ by declaring it ‘ a matter of surprise and regret, that any thing so unfounded should be advanced on so serious an occasion by n body of men, generally speaking, so intelligent and respectable; ’ and after comparing your prices and situation with your llrethren on Book-work and other mechanics, conclude with stating, that “ ‘ Their claims to high wages do not rest on the difficulties in obtaining the neces¬ saries of life, but on the disagreeable hours of labour. Tliey make more money than falls to the lot of 39-40ths of the men in Britain, and they can procure not only all the necessaries of life, but even more of its comforts, than 99 out of every 100 men in Europe. It is lamentable to see men so insensible to the blessings of their situation !’ “ Your Committee cannot congratulate you on the comforts or blessings of your situ¬ ation; they leave to your own feelings the fallacy of assertions so hackneyed, and proceed to the third paragraph, which calls the quotation from the ‘ Duke of Portland’s Letter,’ a ‘ misrepresentation, and a pretended extract,’ and concludes with finding a meaning not intended by his Grace of Portland — ‘ that the arbitrary fixing of wages was a most alarming evil.’ “ The fourth respects the statement of the prices of necessaries, and will not admit the NEWSPAPERS. 511 propriety of introducing the year t793 in comparison with 1809, because the Com¬ positors ‘ then received all they asked, and a new compact was formed with them on their own terms.’ A difference appears in the Compositors statement and that of your Employers, for the year 1793, of ! “ The fifth acknowledges the calculation for 1809 to be correct — 1 Os. 4^d. ; and as the prices for 1800 were 8s. Ojd., there only remained a difference of Is. 6fd. to 1809 ; a loss they conceived you might well bear ‘ without incurring the penalties of starv¬ ation.’ “ Your Committee feel it necessary to quote the sixth at length ; — it needs no comment. “ ‘ The reference the Compositors make to the increased labour on Newspapers, in consequence of the introduction of small letter, is unjust, is absurd, and we cannot understand how they could allow so unfounded a complaint to escape them. The proprietors have always paid, and paid smartly too, for this introduction. The Com¬ positors have limited hours of employment, limited quantities of work, and they compose only one number of letters, whether small or large, agreeably to the universal rule of the business.’ “ The seventh mentions Apprentices, which your Committee will not repeat, con¬ sidering that question set at rest. “ The eighth recommends that ‘ the false assertions, groundless complaints, and ex¬ travagant pretensions of the Compositors should be met by a firm and determined resistance ; ’ and for fear that you should be intoxicated by success to demand ‘ double wages,’ state, that they ‘ have therefore considered a plan of establishing a society of Compositors under an Act of Parliament, connecting with it a benefit society, which, they are confident, will enable the trade to go on, and which they may hereafter submit to you; ’ but without stating who were to be the honoured Members of such society. “ The ninth paragraph, after expressing the indignance of the Masters at the extra¬ vagant demands of the men, recommends that the wages should be put upon a footing with Book-work in 1800; acknowledging that the rise on the latter was l-6th, while that on News-work was but l-9th on Morning, and 1-11th on Evening Papers, and propose that 2s. per week should be added to the Morning Papers, but that only Is. should be given to the Evening Papers, ‘ the difference in the labour and hours of work being much more than 4s. per week.’ “ The tenth recommends that no alteration in the hours of composition on Evening Papers be permitted. “ The eleventh expresses the anxiety of the Committee to give the Compositors a detailed answer, in order that the latter might clearly understand and appreciate their own interests; and the whole concludes with the following <“ RESOLUTIONS. “ ‘ Resolved, —That the Report of the Committee now read be agreed to. “ ‘ Resolved, —That the Newspaper Compositors have not made out a case entitling them to a rise of wages; but that as they complain their rise in 1800 was not equal to the rise in Book Houses, a Regulation do now take place, putting them both on a footing. “ ‘ Resolved, —That as the labour on Morning is considerably heavier than on Even¬ ing Papers, the latter are not entitled to the same indulgence on this occasion as the former. “ ‘ Resolved, —That from Saturday the 15th of July, 1809, the wages of Compositors on Daily Morning Papers shall be two Guineas per week, and on daily Evening Papers Thirty-eight Shillings; and that the Galley on the former shall be Three Shillings and Four-pence, on the latter Three Shillings and Two-pence. “ ‘ Resolved, —That the Circular Letter of the Journeymen Compositors, together with the Report of the Committee of Masters and these Resolutions, signed by the Chairman, be printed in the form of a letter, and that some one Proprietor of each Newspaper shall personally deliver to each Compositor, while at work in his house, a Copy of the said printed Letter. (Signed) “ ‘ D. STUART, Chairman. “ ‘ Turk's Head Coffee House, Strand, June 30, 1809.’ “ After some discussion, the Newsmen agreed to accept the offer made by the Pro¬ prietors in the Resolution above stated ; but as the sums given were declared to be on the principle only of putting you on an equality with the Bookmen, in their advance in 1801, it was determined to continue united to support the original Propositions when an opportunity offered. This regulation gave the Morning Papers 21. 2s. ; 512 NEM SPAPERS. Supernumeraries H. ; per galley 3s. 4rf.; lOd. per hour; and Evening Papers 17. 18s. ; Supernumeraries 19s. ; per galley 3s. 2d. ; 9d. per hour. “ At this period the Book Compositors were soliciting a rise of l-7th on their prices. The Newsmen were not long behind their brethren in claiming the same advance on their labour, and the long Report of the Blasters, before mentioned, was answered, paragraph by paragraph, in a manner which must have convinced them, that if they would not allow the talent, they must acknowledge that all the justice in the dispute lay on your side. This answer is dated January 18, 1810. Your Committee cannot, in consequence of its length, insert it here, but, to suit their present purpose, will extract the answers to the second and fifth paragraphs. “ ‘ The profession of a man should be always equal to the support of himself and his family in a decent way. They should be supplied with not merely what will preserve animation, but what custom has rendered necessary for our comfort; and every man of family must feel the truth of the assertion —that at the present time he experiences dilliculty in procuring such necessaries. BVith re.spect to the difference between the wages of Book and News Compositors, it will be observed, that the expences of a News Compositor are necessarily more than that of a Book Compositor, arising from the unsea.sonable hours of labour. — We believe the latter part of their jjaragraph will be found very deficient of truth ; for there are but few mechanics with the same constant and regular exertion, but would equal, and exceed by far our incomes.’ “ As the two dates given by the Journeymen for the prices of provisions were to be contradicteil, they introduced three tables, and made a calculation by the rule of Sub¬ traction. But the men were not to be deceived by this new system of Arithmetic, and combated by tbe old mode as follows ; It would seem as if the sum of lx. b'jfd. was considered as the loss we sustained in the course of a weekhut it is the projuirtion it bears to 8s. 9kd. ; and we find that it makes a difference in our weekly incomes of 7s. Id., a sum which must be felt particularly by those having families.’ “ 'llie assertions made in the other paragraphs were most ably controverted, and your cause made doubly sure by the truths which accompanied its defence. The Employers never made a reply to it, because it was unanswerable; and your Committee cannot refrain from expressing their gratitude to all coucerned in its ])roduction. “ 1810.] — To proceed. 'I'hc book Masters actpiiesced in the request of their Com¬ positors for an advance, which was to take i)lace on the 1st of May, and the New.smen taking advantage of the acknowledgment made in the ninth paragraph before men¬ tioned, demanded the rise of l-7th to ])lacc them on .an equality with their brethren in the Book departmeitt. Their request was not noticed. They still persevered, and to assist their cause the Bookmen came to a Resolution, that no man sliould apply for a situation on a Newspaper during the dispute. — Highly to their credit, and honourable to their character, not one application was made. “ 'I1ie Newsmen still continued their exertions, and, on the l-lth of May, the follow, ing proposition in MS. was presented to each Companionship; — “ ‘ The Proprietors of the Daily Sewspapers, haring taken the request of their Compo¬ sitors for an ailrnnce of wages into consideration, and on referring to the whole series of rises from I 783[5], leheti liookwork was -Id. /wr thousand, and Morning Papers were 17. 7s. per week, find that 2l. Os. 6d. on Morning Papers would be equal to ()d. per thousand, the present advanced ])rice on Hook-work. Put the Proprietors unwilling wholly to disappoint the e.rpectations of their Compositors, consent to give them an advance o/4s. on Morning Papers, and 3s. on Evening Papers, per week, making the wages on Morning Papers 2l. 6s. per man jwr week, and on Daily Even¬ ing Papers 21. \s.; to take place from Monday, J/oy‘21, 1810.’ This svas answered by the following Resolutions: “ ‘ At a General Bleeting of the Compositors employed on Newspapers, held Blay 19, 1810, the following declarative Resolutions were agreed to unanimously : — “ ‘ Res. I. That in tracing our advances of wages from the year 1 783[5] up to 1800, there not being extant any clear and certain records, and a perfect collection of docu¬ ments containing all the circumstances, many important facts and transactions may be forgotten and lost. “ ‘ Res. II. That from the above consideration, it is evident, that to refer further back than 1800, in order to determine what ought to be tbe advance of wages on Newspapers, is unfair and improper; and it is contrary to right, according to the declared opinions of the Newspaper Proprietors themselves, as expressed (in a Report of their Committee, dated June 30, 1809, and generally circulated) in the following words of their own: ‘ The Compositors have no right to refer further back than the year 1800, as they then received all they asked, and a new compact was made with them on their own terms.’ Res. III. That the Newspaper Proprietors ought to give their Compositors an NEWSPAPERS. 513 advance of wages fully equal to the advance on Bookwork since 1800, conformably to the principle admitted by themselves in the above-mentioned document: where, after stating the allegation of the Newspaper Compositors that their advance in 1800 was not equal to the advance on Bookwork, and admitting the fact, they allow it to be (using their own words) a reasonable ground of complaint in your Compositors Circular. Res. IV. That, in the Scale of 1805, a considerable advance was granted to the Compositors on Bookwork in respect to Sunday-work, Night-work, and Morning- work, which required a correspondent advance on Newspapers, to which it is particu¬ larly applicable. “ ‘ Res. V. That, even if we had not the above indisputable -grounds, we have in justice sufficient grounds in the exigencies of the times, as, according to the News Pro¬ prietors own statement of the comparative prices of the necessaries of life between 1800 and 1809, there was a rise of Is. 6f(i. on 8s. Djd., which makes a difference in our weekly incomes (taking the medium of Morning and Evening Papers) of upwards of 7s. Res. VI. That the Compositors on Bookwork have received less from their Employers than their exigencies required, and only what circumstances allowed. Those unfavourable circumstances were alleged to arise principally from the war, and, conse¬ quently, far from being applicable to the Newspaper branch of the Business, which derives its prosperity from the war. Therefore, there could be no reason why Compo¬ sitors employed on Newspapers should not have an advance fully adequate to their exigencies.’ “ A fortnight’s notice to quit was then given upon the Daily Papers, and on the day of its expiration the News Compositors were given to understand from the individual Printers, that the demand was acquiesced in, and your Scale, as it now stands, was acknowledged—-Morning Papers 21. 8s.; Supernumeraries 12. 3s.; galley 3s. 10c2.; 9d. per thousand; and Assistants ll^d. per hour. — Evening Papers 21. 3s. 6d.; Super¬ numeraries 12. Is. 6t2.; galley 3s. 7d.; 8^d. per thousand; and Assistants lO^o!. per hour. Thus terminated your last struggle. It will be found that in the space of twenty- four years, your prices and modes of work have equally changed with the appearance of the Journals. From the former rise to the present nothing appears worthy notice, excepting the alteration of measure during the sitting of Parliament; but from the great pressure of matter, and an alteration in the size of paper used, most of the Jour¬ nals retained the same measure during the recess. “ Your Committee feel that some apology may be necessary for giving so minute a detail of what perhaps has occurred within your own memory; but the task imposed upon them embracing so wide a field, must plead their excuse ; and having introduced the latter document to your notice, considering it the precursor of an understood and established ‘ Scale of Prices,’ they trust its utility will compensate for the trespass. “ Having now advanced to the period (May, 1810) when your endeavours, after twelve months’ struggle, were crowned with success, your Committee, trusting to your own feelings, must beg to pause on the events of that time.” [Then follow some observations which are not relevant to the present work, nor-to the tracing of the history of prices, nor to the management of Newspapers in the metropolis.] “ In the year 1811, a dispute occurred on an Evening Paper, respecting the intro¬ duction of Apprentices, which lasted but six weeks- “ About the year 1813, Morning Papers of 20 columns became almost general. Papers of the present size have not rendered the use of small type less necessary than when they consisted but of sixteen columns ; and the remarks made in the extracts from the documents before your Committee, of the years 1793 —1810, are equally applicable as the same causes exist. “ In the commencement of the year 1816, the Trade was thrown into confusion by the introduction of Nonpareil, a type not recognised in former agreements respecting the price of Newspapers. The Companionship were required to compose it at Minion price and quantity; they refused, and in consequence left their situations ; but others, in direct opposition to the interests of the profession, submitted to the demand. Igno¬ rance could not be pleaded by them; for your Committee are well aware, that few men can be found incapable of casting up the galley on a Newspaper, or' be unac¬ quainted with the difference in price of Nonpareil and other types used in Book-houses. The bad example set by these men, with the desire of gain, may have induced others to follow their steps ; but they cannot, unless you lose your unanimity, sap the found¬ ation of your rights. It is therefore incumbent on your Committee to protest against any men taking upon themselves the right of deviating from your regulations, or of L L 514 NEWSPAPERS. settling either the price or quantity of the galley of smaller type than Minion, without a general understanding with their brethren of the profession. It has caused both trouble and expense, and been the means of removing good men to gratify the mean¬ ness or greediness of those, who have in the end been necessitated to throw themselves upon the mercy of their fellow-workmen, for permission to gain a subsistence among those they had, by their previous conduct, deprived of bread. Your Committee beg to state, that adding the difference in price given on Nonpareil or Pearl in Book-work to the price per thousand in News-work, will be found the equitable charge for those sizes; that is. Id. per thousand extra on Nonpareil, and 2. per week; Supernumeraries at 1/. 3f. per week; and ylssistants at 11 Id. per hour. “ ‘ Resolved, 11. That we consider the situation of Finishers on a Morning Paper, (where no person is employerl to do the preceding part of the work,) as an innovation that would tend to disorganize the system hitherto acted upon. “ ‘ Resolved, III. That under thi.s consideration wc recommend to our fcllow-uork- men to refuse any such situation should it be offerc^d them. “ ‘ Resolved unanimously. — That with respect to the - (having no precedent to act upon) and there not being a regular Companionship, we recommend to the [irrsons em¬ ployed thereon to regulate the trijliny difference between them and their employer as amicably as possible, keeping in view that the interests of the profession are not inratled thereby.’ “ This matter was amicably atijusted ; but your Committee regret to state, that at the commencement of the following year, a dispute arose on another Journal, by a demand being made for eleven hours’work (time and quantity)—or two measured galleys and a finish, sometimes extending to three hours. This mode was declared inadmissible by the trade; it was resisted; and you again triumphed by the sacrifice of situation only of those who refuserl their acquiescence. “ Nothing appears worthy of notice after the aliovc date till the month of iSIay in the present year, and while your interests impose upon your Committee the necessity of laying before you the circumstances that then arose, they will trespass upon your patience only so long as the subject demands. — .After the introduction of Nonpareil on the Journal mentioned in the year 1816, the Trade were ignorant of the men and their mmles of work ; you had no interest in the enquiry, for they never could be respected who had deserted your standard, nor pitied when labouring under dilliculties they had brought upon themselves. Prom an accidental occurrence, not necessary here to repeat, a request was m.ide, that a statement of the situation of that Journal might be laid before you. Policy dictated the propriety of receiving it; if those employed acted up to the spirit of your laws, you would have nothing to condemn ; but if, on the contrary, they had violated your system, you would have the opportunity of de¬ claring against it, and of preventing the evil example from spreading further. Custom, it is said, will in time become law; so would your silence have permitted the unprin¬ cipled to gratify themselves by the sacrifice of your rights and interests, and to under¬ mine your whole system Iiefore you were aware of the danger. “ By this statement it w.as discovered there were two modes of work on that Journal, both in direct opposition to the rules and prices agreed upon in 1810. From the pressure of advertisements, two companionships were formed, one for the outer, and another for the inner form; those engaged on the former were offered, and accepted an Evening Paper price per galley for Nonpareil, Minion quantity; while those on the latter were employed according to the custom of the trade. It is unnecessary to com¬ ment on the introduction of two companionships on a Daily Paper, much less to point out the .ibsurdity of consenting to reecive an Evening Paper price on a Dlorning Journal, upon the plea of its being performed by day-light; by the same parity of reasoning, you might demand a Alorning Paper price for an Evening Journal, because, for a great part of the year, a portion of the work is done by candle-light. But an alteration on the inner-form system was shortly proposed, which was that rejected by yourselves in the year 1813—viz. two galleys and remaining till the paper went to NEWSPAPERS. 515 press. This was refused by the employed, and seven out of twelve deserted this ‘ flag of blackest hue.’ “ This circumstance, from the consequences that might probably follow, led to the appointment of a Committee to draw up, and circulate, for the information of the trade, a statement of the regular mode of working on Newspapers — ‘to guide the ignorant, to guard the unwary.’ To assist them in their labours, and to maintain that harmony which should ever subsist between two branches in one profession, your Committee requested at a delegated Meeting of Book-men, the appointment of a gentleman from their body to assist them in the task assigned, which was most cheerfully met and cor¬ dially assented to. “ After the appointment of your Committee, another circumstance arose which necessarily occupied a portion of their time. The Proprietor of an obscure Evening Journal, out of which a Sunday Paper is formed, made a demand on the employed to complete the Weekly Journal, not merely with a reduction of wages, but absolutely for nothing ! —as a kind of make-weight for the salary they received upon the other. This not being found in any article of your scale, was, of course, refused by the companion¬ ship, and the loss of situation followed; their places have been filled by some distin¬ guished characters, now out of the pale, but whose memories will be cherished. “ Your Committee will, by recapitulating the events related under each date, bring the various Regulations into one point of view, which, attached to your Scale of 1810, will, it is trusted, fully accomplish the purpose for which your Committee received their appointment. In 1786 a rise of l-6th (or 4s. 6d.) was obtained on Newspapers, but no Regulations were generally adopted; each Paper having its own mode, its internal management was regulated by existing circumstances; but in the year 1793, the nature of News-work, in a progress of seven years, was completely changed, and the price of necessaries increasing with the labour imposed, rendered it incumbent on your prede¬ cessors not only to solicit an advance of wages, but that the time and quantity should also be defined. This request was made by the Newsmen, and though sanctioned by the signatures of their brethren in the Book department, your Committee consider it as the first division of the Compositors into two branches of one profession. Their wishes were granted so tar as related to a rise of l-7th (or 4s. 6d.) on Morning Papers; but nothing relating to the hours of work or time of commencing on Sundays was deter¬ mined upon. It was acknowledged that the Supernumeraries should receive a propor¬ tionate advance, but your Committee cannot pass over the distinction then made between Morning and Evening Papers without expressing their regret at the circumstance. The latter only received a rise of 1-13th, or 2s. 6d. In the same year the Resolutions were passed against the employment of Apprentices on Papers. Some years prior to this date they were to be found on many of the Journals, and particularly on those called Weekly, arising from the connection of both classes with Book-houses; but, from the circumstances already mentioned (1793), when Daily Papers required separate establishments, and were conducted by non-professional men, your brethren took the opportunity of objecting to their re-admission on the latter class. The Resolutions of that day now stand as Laws; you struggled — you conquered; and your Committee can only add that five attempts against them failed of success. A rise was gained 1801 of 4s. on Morning and 3s. on Evening Papers, making a still greater difference between the two classes of Journals. It was given and accepted without any reference to further regulations in the spirit of the proposition before quoted. The nature of the work and increase of labour on the Evening Journals from 1793 to 1800, required the adoption of the Resolution mentioned under the latter date ; —‘ That all Composition cease when the day’s publication goes to press — all work afterwards to be paid for as extra, or deducted from the first work of the next day’s publication.’ This regulation (with one exception) was generally accepted; the Printer had the choice of paying or deducting. A Scale of quantity, and a regulation for the twelve hours’ work, was also adopted. In the year 1809 it became necessary to solicit another rise. Twenty-four years had passed away; the system of News-work had ripened into perfection, and it merely required registering for the mutual convenience of the parties interested. With the request for an advance a Scale was introduced, which specifically defined the sum to be paid for labour. You accepted the offer of the Employers, which was a rise of 2s. on Morning, and Is. on Evening Papers; but nothing was answered respecting the Scale, the sole object of your wishes. The following year you succeeded ; and your Committee merely notice a fractional difference in the sums proposed and those now paid. The galley on a Morning Paper is stated at 3s. 9jd., now 3s. \0d.-, and the Evening Journals at 21. 3s., instead 21. 3s. 6d. per week. With this difference the Scale .stands complete; and for its support, with a clear definition, have the labours of your Com¬ mittee been wholly directed. ‘ To guide the ignorant, to frustrate the machinations of the unprincipled, and, if possible, to form a closer bond of union among yourselves,’ has 516 NEWSPAPERS. been their pleasing task. By a reference to the first Resolution of the Newsmen of May 19, 1810, it will be observed, that they lament the want of a perfect collection of documents by which they might correctly trace the advances of wages from 1785 to 1800 — indeed they assert that no records were extant. Your Committee congratulate themselves upon being more fortunate, and have extracted from, or inserted at length, every document relating to Regulations or Prices since 1785, which they trust will not be considered uninteresting, and, handed down as records, may yet be useful. To prove the strength of your foundation, the Committee have embraced a period of fifty years, in which is included fifteen years prior to the date of the first document, and subsequently, through a space of thirty-five years, to the present time. In pursuing their duty, your Committee have not deviated from their path to obtrude upon your notice at this day all the misunderstandings which have arisen among the Journeymen, nor have they paused to revive the memory of local disputes with the employers; they have sought not ‘ to rake the ashes of the dead’ — they have endeavoured to avoid any retlection that might cause a blush in the living. The labours of your Committee will close with an Abstract of the Scale, and the Laws and necessary Regulations attached, which they trust will satisfactorily answer the purpose of their collection. You require nothing of the employers — they demand nothing from you; and shall it be said that your privileges must be forfeited by your own negligence, be scattered into air by the unprincipled, or sacrificed to the interest of a designing few ?— Forbid it, spirit! while the recollection of the struggles of our predecessors lives amongst us. Your Committee conclude with soliciting your indidgence for any deficiency on their parts; but as your interest has been their sole object, your approbation their reward, they confidently trust the purity of their motives will be a sufficient apology for their unintentional errors. “ P.

The hour of commencing work on Sunday is regulated by the time of finishing on Saturday morning. “ Ton hours’ Composition is the specified time for Evening Papers.—.Vll Composition to cease when the day’s I’ublication goes to Press; any work required afterwards to be paid for extra, or deducted from the first work of the next publication. —This does not apply to Second Editions ; they being connected solely with the antecedent Paper, must be paid for extra. “ Newspapers in a foreign language take, of course, the same advance as is allowed on Book-work. “ A system termed Finishing having been formerly introduced, it is necessary to state, that no mode of working can be considered fair (except as before stated) otherwise than by the galley or hour. “ No .\pprentices to be employed on Daily Papers.” [Signed by 193 Newspaper Compositors.] NEWSPAPERS. 517 Acts of Parliament relating to Newspapers. — The Act of the 39th of G. 3. c. 79., for the more effectual suppression of Societies established for Seditious and Treasonable Purposes, &c., which requires the entry of all Presses .and Types with the Clerk of the Peace, and the affixing of the name and address of the Printer to his production."!, with other regulations, does not extend, alter, or vary the then existing Acts of Parliament in force respecting the printing.

The routine of business is uniform and regular, without that variety which occurs in a book house: the qualifications requisite for a compositor on a newspaper are, punctuality, quickness in composing, and clean proofs, so that no delay may take place from the deficiency of any one indi¬ vidual. 534 NEWSPAPERS. As the Times newspaper is one of the largest daily papers in Europe, and as it is printed in a smaller type, and contains more matter than any other, it consequently requires and employs more people to prepare it for publication; and as it is generally acknowledged to be one of the best conducted papers for the arrangement of its matter, and the punc¬ tuality of its publication, I have selected it to give as a specimen of the manner of printing a daily morning newspaper in London. The compositors employed to compose this great mass of intelligence day by day, and every day throughout the year, Saturday e.\cepted, there being no publication on Sundays, are seventy-five, who are di¬ vided into two classes; viz., the niglit or news hands, and the advertise¬ ment hands. The first class consists of 39, who are divided into full hands, 14; supernumeraries, 10; assistants, 15; to these may be added 10 “ outsiders,” who fill the frames of absentees in cases of sickness, or from other causes: they are not considered as belonging to the esta- blisluneut, inasmuch as they hold no situation, and are consequently de- penilent upon the workmen. The advertisement department consists of 36 hands. As it is desirable not to have to distribute letter after copy is taken, the compositors usually put their letter in after all the composing is completed, or take the opportunity when waiting for copy, to be ready for the evening, or else they attend sooner in the afternoon than the usual hour, for that purpose. The full hands take copy at six o’clock in the evening, precisely, and go on without regard to the old rule of first work and finish, and the day’s work is considered to be completed at the expiration of eleven hours, five o’clock in the morning; if engaged after that time all hands are i)aiil by the hour, the printer never availing himself of the choice of beginning an hour later on account of the lateness of the ))receding morning. The full hands are expectetl to compose two galleys each ))cr night, and all over lines are paid for extra, even though they are com¬ posed within the time prcscril)cd by the rules laid dow n for the guidance of compositors. 'I’he supernumeraries are expected to compose one galley each per night, and all over lines are paid for extra, the same as with the full hands. The full hands have each three pairs of cases — Nonpareil. .Minion, and bourgeois ; aiul as the most advantageous matter is generally set up in the smaller type, they claim the benefit of it as an equivalent for the labour of putting the forms to the machine. The supernumeraries and assistants take copy at seven o’clock in the evening, ami continue to work till all is composed, and should there be any standing still for want of copy, they are allowetl at the rate of a quarter of a galley per hour for all the time they may have lost during the night. The assistants have no stated salary, but arc paid by the galley, and share the same advantages as the supernumeraries, no dis¬ tinction being made in the giving out of the copy. The compositors in the news department have the privilege of com¬ posing a considerable quantity of extra or “ back ” matter to enable the printer to have at all times a resource in case of accident. This extra copy is given out and divided into half galley shares, and taken in ro¬ tation, thus preventing monopoly or favouritism. As there is an immense quantity of letter in use, the division of which for distribution would occasion loss of time, and frequent disputes, the companionship pay a man to lay up the forms, mark the letter off for NEWSPAPERS. 535 each individual, and distribute the useless heads. He is also answerable for the clearance of the boards. Each compositor has a number attached to his frame, and when he takes copy, his number is placed on the back of the copj”^, so that each man’s matter is immediately identified, and in case of a foul proof, or an out that will occasion much trouble, it is immediately handed to him who composed it without further inquiry, which prevents exposure and an¬ noyance to the individual. The copy is also marked with progressive numbers, which prevents confusion by enabling the compositor to know with certainty, whom he follows in his composing, and to empty his stick in the proper galley so as to join the preceding matter. As the matter is composed it is taken, a galley at a time, by the printer, and made up into columns; a proof of the column is then pulled upon the galley by one of the compositors, who all take it in turn ; it is then given to the reader; after being attentively read and corrected, it is returned to the compositors to make the corrections, who take it in turn, two and two; the column is divided into four, the first compositor takes the first and third parts, and the second takes the second and fourth parts, and he who is the last in making his corrections, pulls a second proof, which is carefully revised, and when the revise is corrected the matter is ready for the paper. It thus goes on column after column, till the whole paper is composed, when it often occurs that the arrival of foreign intel¬ ligence increases the quantity considerably; matter of less immediate interest is, in this instance, taken away, and kept as back matter for a future day, to make room for the latest intelligence. If the first compositor has six or more lines to compose of copy that he has in hand, he must give it up, and begin to correct immediately; but if he has less than six lines of copy in hand, he finishes it before he commences correcting: this regulation is adopted to prevent any inter¬ ruption or delay in the progress of getting the paper out. The full hands take it in turn to correct the revises, lock up the forms, and take them to the machines to be worked otf. The advertisement department is not regulated after the same manner as the news department, there being no distinction of grades, nor any fixed salaries, nor is there any precise time of commencing work, the uncertainty as to the time of advertisements being received at the office rendering it an impossibility to appoint any regular hour for beginning. The compositors are paid by the galley, not according to the scale of prices fixed for morning papers, but more after the scale of evening papers. The method adopted in this part of the establishment in taking copy is the same as in other offices, the first out of copy taking first, and so on, and as the compositors come out of copy their numbers are placed on a slate, which prevents disputes or confusion. The compositor marks his copy by putting his initials at the back of it; so that if any gross error be committed, and remain uncorrected, a wrong number in a re¬ ference, for instance, it can immediately be ascertained who composed it, and either the reader or the compositor is held responsible for the advertisement duty, the proof deciding which is to pay the fine for neg¬ ligence. The salary of a full hand is 21. 8s. per week, but the average earnings are Si. 12s. Qd .; the salary of a supernumerary is H. 3s. per week, and the average earnings are SI .; it often happens that much higher bills are written, but the above may be taken as a fair average. The whole establishment of the Times newspaper, including editors, reporters, compositors, readers, engineer, overseers of the machines, 536 NEWSPAPERS. persons to lay on, and to take oti', clerks, &c. consists of one hundred and thirty-seven persons.

A nick is a hollow cast crossways in the shanks of types, to make a distinction readily between different sorts and sizes; and to enable the compositor to perceive quickly the bottom of the letter as it lies in the case, when composing; as nicks are always cast on that side of the shank on which the bottom of the face of the letter is placed. A great deal of inconvenience frequently arises, owing to the founders casting different founts of types with a similar nick in each. Although this may, at the first sight, appear of little moment, yet it is attended with much trouble : and works are frequently disfigured by it, notwith¬ standing all the care of the compositor and the reader, as will appear from the following statement. A printer has cast a fount, we will suppose of Pica, in addition to ano¬ ther he had in the house, and this new Pica is of a different face from his old one ; but not having given any particular directions, the founder casts it with a nick precisely the same as the other. The consequence is, when a compositor is distributing head lines, lines of italic, small capitals, or small jobs—in the hurry of business — through inadvertency — or care¬ lessness— he frequently distributes them into the wrong cases, when it is almost impossible for another compositor who has occasion to use these cases next, to detect the error till he sees the proof; unless he is in the habit of reading his lines in the stick, which many are not. He has then a great deal of trouble to change the letters; and, with all the at¬ tention that the reader can bestow, a letter of the wrong fount will fre¬ quently escape his eye, and disfigure the page. Even in founts that are next in size to each other; for instance,— Bourgeois and Long Primer, Long Primer and Small Pica, Small Pica and Pica, and Pica and English, head lines, &c., are not unfrequently distributed into wrong cases, where the nick is the same ; and always 544 NUMERALS, occasion loss of time in correcting the mistakes, and sometimes pass undiscovered. I would recommend, in furnishing a new office with types, that every fount, comjuencing with the smallest, should have a dilferent nick from that of the next size: thus Brevier, supposing it to be the smallest, might have three wide nicks. Bourgeois tw o closer ones, and Long Primer one ; Small Pica the same as Brevier, Pica as Bourgeois, English as Long Pritner ; and here it might stop, for tliere is difference enough in the sizes above English for the eye to distinguish tliem readily, without varying the nick. By going as far as three nicks, which is now generally done, a suffi¬ cient variety may be obtained to distinguish one fount from another without hesitation ; but I would strongly advise that the nicks should be deep, as it allows the compositor to see ijuickly how the letters lie in the box, and enables him to pick them up with greater facility, parti¬ cularly by candlelight, A single nick may be — low on the shank, in the middle, or nearer the top ; two nicks may be close together—at the bottom, in the middle, or at the top, or they may be wiile apart; three nicks may be — two at bottom and one at top, two at top ami one at bottom, or tlie three close together, at the bottom, the middle, or the top, or wide apart. Where there are a great number of founts, it would add to the distinguishing mark, if consisting of more than one nick, that one of them should be cast shallow : but w here there is only one nick it ought always to be cast deep.

The names of numerals are very different, not only in several parts of .Vsia, but in both North and South .\merica- “ Small stones were used amongst uncivilized nations: hence the words calculate and calculation appear to have been derived from cal¬ culus, the Latin for a pebble-stone. .Alphabetic letters had afso a cer¬ tain numerical value assigned them, and several Greek characters were emploved to express particular numbers. “ The combination of Greek numerical characters was not well know n to the Latins before the thirteenth century, although Greek numerical characters were frer|uently used in France and Germany, in episcopal letters, and continued to the eleventh century. But of all the (ireek NUMERALS. 545 ciphers the Episema §av was most in use with the Latins: it gradually assumed the form of G with a tail, for so it appears in a Latin inscription of the year 296. It is found to have been used in the fifth century in Latin MSS. It was reckoned for 6 , and this value has been evinced by such a number of monumental proofs, that there is no room to give it any other. Some of the learned, with even Mabillon, have been mis¬ taken in estimating it as 5 , but in a posthumous work he acknowledges his erroi’. “ Those authors were led into this error by the medals of the Emperor Justinian having the episema for 5 ; but it is a certain fact that the coiners had been , mistaken and confounded it with the tailed U, for the episema was still in use in the fourth century, and among the Latins was estimated as six, but under a form somewhat different. Whenever it appears in other monuments of the western nations of Europe of that very century, and the following, it is rarely used to express any number except 5. “ The Etruscans also used their letters for indicating numbers by writing them from right to left, and the ancient Danes copied the example in the application of their letters. “ The Romans, when they borrowed arts and sciences from the Greeks, learned also their method of using alphabetical numeration. This custom however was not very ancient among them. Before writing was yet current with them they made use of nails for reckoning years, and the method of driving those nails became in process of time a ceremony of their religion. The first eight Roman numerals were composed of the I and the V. The Roman ten was composed of the V proper, and the V inverted (\), which characters served to reckon as far as forty, but when writing became more general, I, V, X, L, C, D, and M, were the only characters appropriated to the indication of numbers. The above seven letters, in their most extensive combination, produce six hundred and sixt}"-six thousand ranged thus, DCLXVIM. Some however pretend that the Romans were strangers to any higher number than 100,000. The want of ciphers obliged them to double, treble, and multiply their numerical characters four-fold ; according as they had occasion to make them express units, tens, hundreds, &c. &c. For the sake of brevity they had recourse to another expedient; by drawing a small line over any of their numeral characters they made them stand for as many thousands as They contained units. Thus a small line over I made it 1000, and over X expressed 10,000, &c. “ When the Romans wrote several units following, the first and last were longer than the rest Iiiiil: thus vir after those six units, signified sex-vir. D stood for .500, and the perpendicular line of this letter was sometimes separated from the body thus (Iq,) without lessening its value. M, whether capital or uncial, expressed 1000 . In the uncial form it sometimes assumed that of one of those figures, CI 3 , CD, gc, CD- The cumbent X was also used to signify a similar number. “ As often as a figure of less value appears before a higher number, it denotes that so much must be deducted from the greater number: thus, I before V makes but four, I before X gives only nine, X preceding C produces only 90, and even two XX before C reckons for no more than 80. Such was the general practice with the ancient Romans with respect to their numerical letters, which is still continued in recording accounts in our Exchequer. “ In ancient MSS. 4 is written IIII and not IV, 9 thus VIIII, and not N N 546 NUMERALS. IX, &c. Instead of Y five units IIIII were sometimes used in the eiglith century. Half was expressed by an S at the end of the figures, CHS was put 102 and a half. This S sometimes appeared in the form of our 5. “ In some old ]MSS. those numerical figures LXL are used to express 90. The Roman numeral lettei-s were generally used both in England, France, Italy, and Germany, from the earliest times to the middle of the fifteenth centurj'. “ The ancient people of Spain made use of the same Roman ciphers as we do. The X with the top of the right hand stroke in form of a semi-circle reckoned for 40; it merits the more particular notice as it has misled many of the learned. The Roman ciphers however were continued in use with the Spaniards until the fifteenth century. The Germans used the Roman ciphere for a long time, nearly in the same manner as the French.” “ The points after the Roman ciphers were exceedingly various, and never rightly fixed. It is not known when the ancient custom was first introduced of placing an G at top immediately after the Roman charac¬ ters, as A® M® L° VI® ,five hundred, the half of CIq. M or CIq, a thousand, from mille. The latter figures joined at the fop QD» formed the ancient M. — Latin Vocabulary, iSrno, Lond. Valpy, 1823. Nustalkek. See Persian. NUT BOLTS.

Ol'r. A compositor usually says, I am out, meaning he has set out his page, form, or copy. — M. When a compositor has omitted a word or words, a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a page or a leaf of copy, which sometimes does happen, each of these omissions is called an Out: thus we say, An out of a word — of two words — of a line, &c. OUTER FORM. 'The form that has the first page of the sheet in it. It is usual to work this form the last. See Lay on. OUT OF COPY. A compositor is said to be out of copy when he has composed all that is in his possession, and there is no supply for him to go on with. It is also termed standing still for copy. OU'f OF LETTER. When a compositor has no letter in bis cases, and none to distribute, he is said to be out of letter. OUT OF REGISTER. Bad Register. — JI. When the pages on both sides of a sheet do not print exactly upon each other; or w hen line PAGE PAPER. 553 does not fall upon line, where they are intended to do so; or folios are not justified in the middle of the line; or when any thing on one side of a sheet does not print exactly on the back of a similar thing on the opposite side, which it is meant to do, it is said to be Out of Register, or Out, or It does not Register, or It is not in Register. OUT-PAGE. In octavos, twelves, sixteens, every outside page in a’ sheet is called an Out-Page ; the rest are called In-Pages. — M. OUTSIDE QUIRES. The two quires on the outside of every ream of paper delivered from the maker; they have never more than twenty sheets in each, all of which are either damaged or torn, more or less. These quires are also called Cassie Quires, and Cording Quires. It is now uncommon to send any outside quires to letter-press printers; the paper sent to them for use being what is termed Perfect. Outsiders. See Newspapers. Overflowing Case. See Case Runs Over. OVERLAYS. Pieces of paper pasted on the tympan sheet, or on a sheet between the tympans, to increase the pressure on particular parts of a form, to make the impression more regular, or more perfect. See Engravings on Wood. Fine Presswork. Making Ready. Overplus. See Waste. OVERRUN. If in a proof any matter is marked to be taken out, or to be inserted, in a page, or pages, it will be necessary to take matter from one page to another, to preserve them of a proper length, this is termed overrunning: it may be a few words only in a paragraph, and not extending beyond it; in this case it is termed overrunning a para¬ graph. The best method of overrunning matter is to take the lines into a composing stick; the spacing and the justifying of the lines are better preserved by this means, than by spacing out upon the stone in the form, and feeling the ends of the lines with the fingers. OVERSEER. The manager or superintendent of a printing office. The duties of an overseer vary according to the size of the establish¬ ment, and the part that his principal takes in its management; but, generally speaking, he has the sole conducting of the practical depart¬ ment, receiving his general directions from the principal, and seeing that they are carried into execution in a proper manner. It is requisite, as a matter of course, that he should be intimately and practically acquainted with the business in all its details. It is of importance to the concern where he has the management, that he should blend urbanity with firm¬ ness; and show judgment and impartiality in giving out work, so that the business should proceed with regularity, and with satisfaction to all parties. P. PAGE CORD. Small twine with which the pages are tied round, to secure them temporarily till they are imposed. Small net twine is the best, as being stronger and more uniform in thickness than any other cord that I have seen used for the purpose. PAGE PAPER. Stout paper cut up to the proper size, on which to place pages, till they are wanted to be imposed. The wrappers that come round bundles of paper are generally used, for which the compositor applies to the warehouseman, who when he has no wrappers, gives some of the stoutest waste paper that he has; when it is not strong enough single the compositor uses it double. Page 554-' PAMPHLETS. papers are cut longer than a page of the work they are for, and should be about an inch and a half broader than the width of the page and turned up to the sides of it,'so that when the compositor has occasion to move his pages, he takes hold of both sides with one hand including the sides of tiie page paper which supports the bottom of the page. Except the page papers be very stout, it would be running a risk to place large quarto pages on them : in this case it will be better to keep tliem on slices. PALE COLOUR. If there be not Blacking enough in the ink, or the form be beaten with too lean balls, the work will be said to have a Pah Colour. — M. The term is now applied only when there is a deficiency of ink, so that the surface of the j)aper is not completely covered on the impression of the types. PAMPHLET. Any work that does not exceed five sheets in octavo is termed a pamphlet, and is paid something extra for at case, as a com¬ pensation to the compositor for making up the letter and furniture with¬ out having any return of either; the whole being generally put in chase. See Scale of Phices. I’AMPIILET.S.

PAPER. The quality of paper is of great consequence in printing; but it is too frequently overlooked by all parties. Every pressman of common attention perceives a material difference in the process of bringing off a sharp impression, according to the quality of the paper that he uses. When he meets with a hard-sized harsh paper, bleached with acid, it requires more than common care to make his work look well — to make it good, it frequently defies his utmost abilities — to preserve its first appearance is impossible, as the acid in the paper decomposes the ink. It is to be regretted, that there is hardly any paper made at the present time but what is more or less bleached with acid, to the deterio¬ ration of its quality. The study of the paper maker is to produce stout and viewly paper at a low price ; and this he does by using inferior rags bleached by acid; by adding a great proportion of gypsum, in some instances one seventh of its Aveight, in others one eighth ; and frequently of whiting made from lime : he will thus produce a paper weighing six¬ teen or seventeen pounds a ream, that Avill feel as stout and look as viewly as an honest-made paper from good rags that will weigh about twenty-two pounds. To the publishers of cheap books, and of ephemeral productions, the price of paper is an important object; but no work of value ought to be printed on such an article, as it cannot be durable, 558 PAPER. nor will it bear much use, becoming tender with age, and breaking by turning over the leaves. The origin of this viewl}', inferior, perishable paper, was in conse¬ quence of the alteration of the duty on paper paid by the maker, from size to weight. Tliese evils are, however, in a fair way of being rectified. The paper makers of the present day are exerting their abilities to manufacture an article which, with all the beauty and fineness that are held so requisite, sliould be free from the evils whicli have of late years accompanied tliese qualities. Great improvements have already resulted from their endea¬ vours ; and one of the foremost in this praiseworthy competition is the house of Messrs. John Dickinson and Co., who have succeeded in manu¬ facturing a paper of great fineness and beauty, and free from the imper¬ fections of which we have had to complain. The Rev. William Reloe, in his Anecdotes of Literature, &c. speaking of the paper on which books in the infancy of printing were executed, observes, — “ This presents a very fertile subject of discussion. Here, as in ink, two very distinet kinds occur, writing-paper and printing-paper, or rather did then ; for the invention of jiaper made from rags did not ])recede that of printing more than half a century; and perhaps the first experiments were made on the paper in common use. Rut here it is worthy of remark, that in this particular fabrick of paper, the Italians far excelled the Germans; for it will appear that the jiaper used by Sweynheym and Pannartz in the Laetantius, printed at Subiaco, is greatly superior to that of the first printers at Mentz. Rut it is also a matter of surprise, in how very short a period, and to what a degree of excellence, the manufacture of [laper was improved; never, perhaps, for the purposes of iirinting, to be e.xcelled. ^lany of the Editiones I’liiNCiPEs exhibit specimens of beauty and splendour never surpassed in all the productions of modern times. The earliest specimens of jirinting, however, were upon vellum ; for which there were two reasons. The first was, that it was the object of the first printers to make their books as much as possible to resemble manuscripts; and the anecdote of Pust, and his disposing of his Ribles at Paris, which were considered as manuscripts, has before been related. The next motive of preferring vellum was, that the books were more durable ; but from this circum¬ stance, it sometimes happens that early books on paper are more dif¬ ficult of attainment than on vellum. Yet the Mazarine Rible, which is now usually allowed to be the edition brought to Paris by Fust, is usually on pajier. The Durandus, however, is never found but on vellum. It is observable, that the first printed books are distinguished by very ample margins. This, though considered by collectors in modern times as a distinguishing feature of beauty and excellence, was, in the infancy of the art, merely intended for the convenience of writing notes and making observations. Another very copious subject of animadversion is involved in the marks of the paper used in the infancy of printing. As the first printers often omitted to put their names to their works, many have supposed that a careful examination of the paper and paper-marks would ascertain to what printer such books might be ascribed. Rut this is very delusive.” The following are the regular sizes of paper, of all descriptions, as they were fixed when the duty was paid to government according to the size. After the alteration in the mode of laying the duty, and it was imposed upon the weight and not upon the size, the makers began to vary the dimensions, so that in fact there is no regularity in them : yet PAPER. 559 the list will be useful in ascertaining those variations — in knowing what the size of each sort ought to be — and the comparative dimensions when folded into quarto, octavo, duodecimo, &c. for printing; and I have given all the list, although only a small part of it contains what are termed printing papers ; yet the whole may be useful as a matter of reference.

It will be serviceable to the printer, by enabling him to ascertain easily what kind of paper vdll cut up to the most advantage for jobs, labels, &c.; and it will be equally serviceable to the bookseller, by enabling him to ascertain what sized paper will be the most economical to print a work on, when the size of the page is fixed, as he will perceive, on referring to it, that a foolscap octavo is 6f inches high, and 4^- inches broad; and that a royal eighteens 560 PAPER. is 6| inches high, and inches broad ; that a post octavo is 7^ inches high, and 4^ inches broad; and a medium duodecimo is 7^ inches high, and 4^ inches broad ; — so as to give him the option of saving both in presswork and the price of paj)er, without the trouble of having to fold various specimens of paper. It will also serve to ascertain the paper on which any book or job is printed. 1 have not carried the calculation to a smaller fraction than the eighth of an inch, as that is near enough for all practical purposes, considering the valuations in the size of paper; and when the division came to less, I adopted the ne.vt number; so that in some cases the parts of a sheet will be a little larger than the dimensions.

They have two slips of deal nailed to the bottom of each to strengthen them, and to prevent the joining from giving way; these slips are broader and not so thick as those inserted in letter boards. The general sizes are, demy boards, twenty-six inches by twenty-two ; royal, thirty inches by twenty-six. PAPER THE CASE. Lining the bottom of the boxes in the cases with paper — M. This was formerly done by the compositor; it is now done by the printer's joiner before the bottom is nailed on. PAPER UP LETTER. To wrap the pages up in paper after a work is finished. — M. In all book houses, there are bulks appropriated for the letter that is cleared away ; so that when it is dry it may be papered up. In small houses this is generally done by the overseer ; but in houses with large establishments, there is a person appointed to take care of the letter, furniture, chases, &c. which he keeps locked up, and delivers out as wanted: he also papers up the letter; that is, he wraps up each piece in the waste of some work, which he procures from the warehouse, and p p 578 PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. on which he writes the name of the type; it also tends to save trouble if he add w hether it be open matter, Italic, or figures, as the case may be, as it prevents the necessity of opening the pieces out, when particular kinds only are wanted for distribution. PAPER STOOL. A stool with a large square top, on which to lay printed paper after it lias been worked otf, while the warehouseman is hanging it up to drj'. There is a notch cut in the top to admit the fingers, for the greater convenience of moving it about Paper Window's. See Ancient Customs. P.\R.\GON. The name of a type, one size larger than Great Primer, and one smaller than Double Pica- Moxon does not enumerate this size in his list. It is equal to two Long Primers. See Types. PARAGRAPH. A paragraph 51 denotes the beginning of a new- subject, or a sentence not connected with the foregoing. This character is chietly used in the Old and in the New Testament- Murray. It is also used as a reference to notes, in printing. PAR.\GR.\P 11 S. .\s a compositor is sometimes allowed to divide a |)aragraph in his manuscript copy, for the convenience of workmanship, the following observations on the subject, by Lindley Murray, may be serviceable: — “ Ditferent subjects, unless they are very short, or very numerous in small compass, should be separateil into jiaragraphs. “ When one subject is continued to a considerable length, the larger divisions of it should be put into paragraphs. .-Vnd it will have a good effect to form the breaks, when it can properly be dune, at sentiments of the most weight, or that call for peculiar attention. “ I'he facts, premises, and conclusions, of a subject, sometimes na¬ turally point out the separations into jiaragrajihs: and each of these, when of great length, w ill again require subdivisions at their most dis¬ tinctive parts. “ In cases whieh reijuire a connected subject to be formed into several paragraphs, a suitable turn of ex[)ression, exhibiting the connexion of the liroken parts, will give beauty and force to the division." PARALLEL. Marked thus ||, is used as a reference to notes in the margin, or at the bottom of the page. PARCHMENT. Parchment is used for covering the tympans, both inner and outer: care should be used in selecting it, that the skins are free from any imperfections or cuts, and that they are of an uniform thickness, as nearly as possible. The parchment for the inner tympan may be a little thinner than that for the outer. Dealers in printing ma¬ terials generally keep a stock of old deeds, leases, Ac. w Inch are cheaper than new parchment, and are frequently used for common work. Parenthesis.

The name of a type, one size larger than Diamond, and one smaller than Ruby. It is the smallest size that Moxon mentions.— See Types. PEEL. An article to hang up the wet paper, upon the poles, to dry. The head is made of thin wainscot, and the upper edge is the thinnest, 580 PELTS. and rounded; the handle is of ash, witli a groove cut in the upper end, to receive the head, which is secured to it by wooden pins going through the whole ; and that part of the liandle which receives the head is planed down, so that at the upper end of it, it is rendered quite thin, that there may be no shoulder to derange the paper. In large offices they have them with handles of different lengths, to suit the heights of the rooms in which paper is hung up to dry. PELT POT. Generally a large jar, in which urine is kept, to steep the pelts in previous to making the balls; as also to steep the blankets in, in which the bails are wrapped up at night. This only refers to pelt balls, for where composition balls are used, this offensive article is discarded. IMiLTS. Sheep skins untanned used for ball leathers. — M. The pelts that were used previous to the introduction of composition, were sheep skins, with the wool taken ofl', dressed with lime, and ilricd. 'i’hey are nearly superseded by composition balls and rollers. When they are wanted for use, they are steeped in urine to soften them, then rubbed through a twisteil iron to supple them, and to take out part of the moisture, which is termed currying; and afterwards trodilen under foot at the press side, by the pressman w ho is beating, to «‘X[)el the suj)erfluous moisture; they are then scraped, to clean the sur¬ face, anil made up into balls, stuffed with carded wool, having a lining made of a pelt taken from an old ball. 'I'his lining keeps the outer skin moist, and makes the ball firmer on the stock. 'I'lie solter a pelt is, so long as it is not surcharged with moisture, the better it w ill cover the surface of the type or engraving w ith ink : and it will also retain on its surface particles of dust, wool, or other extra¬ neous matter, without parting w ith them to the letter or engraving ; so that the work will be better and clearer of picks, than when the pelt is drier and harder. In knocking-uj) balls, it is not necessary to tread the pelts, as is usually done, and which is inconvenient when a man is working at half ])ress: it w ill answer equally well if the jielts bi; well curried, and, after the balls are made, well scraped; w liicli may be done by placing the ball on the knees, with its handle against the stomach, to hold it firm ; then taking a sharp table knife, the handle of which is held w ith one hand and the point with the other, and scraping from the stock over the edge of the ball to the centre ; by w Inch operation the superHuoua moisture w ill be got rid of, and the ball w ill work equally well as those that have been trod by the pressman. It is customary for pressmen to throw aside pelts that arc greasy, and not to use them, till the last, in consequence of an opinion general among them, that they will not take ink: but, from repeated experiments that I have made, I could not perceive the least difference between the most greasy pelts and those that were free from grease; the one taking ink and retaining it on its surface, equally as well as the other. Since then I have frequently mentioned the subject to some of the most experienced pressmen, w ho all allow that a greasy pelt is more durable than one clear of grease. A greasy pelt requires more currying than one that is not greasy ; and it is better to let it remain longer in the pelt pot, currying it occasion¬ ally, w hich act the pressmen term giving it exercise. It is an advantage also to curry, occasionally, any pelts that are in the pelt pot; as it im¬ proves their condition, and prevents their spoiling, so soon as they would otherwise do, by being in soak, when not immediately wanted. PERMITS. 581 In tlie country I have found it more convenient to get sheep’s skins from the skinners, without any other preparation than having the wool taken off; and these were more durable, and made softer and better balls, than when dressed and dried in the usual way. See Currying. PENULTIMATE. The last syllable but one of a word. PERFECTING. Printing the second form of a sheet; called also working the reiteration. PERFECT PAPER. Paper sent in to print on, in which there is an extra quantity, to allow for waste, &c.; thus a bundle consists of 43 quires, or 1032 sheets; and a ream of 21^ quires, or 516 sheets; with¬ out any outside quires, and the whole consists of perfect sheets.

Every letter should be connected with that which follows it, except these seven ; 584 PERSIAN. ) alif, ) dal, ) zal, ) ra, j za, J zJia, and * ran, which are never joined to the following letter. The short vowels are expressed by small marks, two of which are placed above the letter, and one below it, as ^7^ ba or he, be or hi. bo or bit. The mark placed above a consonant shows that the syllable ends M’ith it. The short vowels are very seldom written in the Persian books; and the other orthographical marks are likewise usually suppressed, ex¬ cept Muddu Hamza , and Tushdeed ; the two ttrst of which are most common. , The most usual combination of letters are formed w ith ^ ^ ^ ^ which have the singular property of causing all the preceding letters to rise above the line, as | bukhdra, J A -J.' nakhcheer, -r.' tas-heeh. c The letters that [ireccde ^ m are also sometimes raised. Lain-alif 1 * is ( compounded of ^ / and I a. The Arabic characters, like those of the Europeans, are written in a variety of different hands; but the most common of them are the Nus- khee, the Talcek, or hanging, and the Shekesteh, or broken. Our books have hitherto been printed in the Nuskhee hand, and all Arabic manu¬ scripts, as well as most Persian and Turkish histories, are written in it; but the Persians write their poetical works in the Tuleek, whicli answers to the most elegant of our Italic liands. .\s to the Shekesteh, it is very irregular and inelegant, and is chiefly used by the idle Indians, who will not take time to form their letters perfectly, or even to insert the dia¬ critical points; but tliis liand, however diflicult and barbarous, must be learned by all men of business in India, as the letters from the princes of the country are seldom written in any other manner.

Niskhi. — This is the form of writing used by the Arabians, who in¬ vented the characters : as every Persian student should acquire a know¬ ledge of the Arabic, it ought therefore to be learned. This hand is frequently employed by the Persians, and the history of Nader Shah was written in it. The Niskhi is the parent of the Taleek, and of all the other hands in which the Arabic and Persian languages are now written. Taleek. — The Taleek is the most beautiful hand writing used by the Persians. In the manuscripts written in the Taleek hand, the strokes of the reed are extremely fine, and the initial letters i l ) are scarcely per-r ceptible. As the Persians always write their lines of an equal length, they are obliged to place their words in a very irregular manner; if the line be too short, they lengthen it by a fine stroke of the reed ; if too long, they write the words one above another. In the Persian poems the transcribers place both members of a couplet on the same line, and not the first above the second, as we do : a Persian would write the following verses in this order : With ravish’d ears, The monarch hears. Assumes the god. Affects to nod. It must be confessed, that this irregularity in writing, joined to the con¬ fusion of the diacritical points, which are often placed at random, and 586 PHRASES. sometimes omitted, makes it very difficult to read the Persian MSS., till the language becomes familiar to us ; but this difficulty, like all others in the world, will be insensibly surmounted by the habit of industry and perseverance, without which no great design was ever accomplished. Nustaleek. — The character called Nustaleek is compounded of the Niskhi and Taleek. It differs, however, considerably from the graceful turns and beautiful flourishes of several of the manuscripts. The Nus- taleek character may be as easily read by Europeans as the Niskhi. Shekesteh. —In this inelegant hand all order and analogy are neglected; the points which distinguish « from *i, from ^ , and ^ ^ from and ■ , &c., are for the most part omitted, and these seven letters I ^ ^ J J J * connected with those that follow them in a most irregular manner. This is, certainly, a considerable difficulty, which must be surmounted before the learner can translate an Indian letter.

The name of a type, one size larger than Small Pica, and one smaller than English. In Moxon’s time seventy-five Pica bodies measured a foot. All the sizes of types larger than Canon, are named from the number of Pica bodies contained in their depth, as Four Line Pica, Five Line Pica, and so on indefinitely. Leads or space lines are also cast to proportionate parts of Pica, as four to Pica, si.x to Pica, &c. PICK BRUSH. A hard brush with rather fine hairs; it is used to brush picks or dirt out of a form, when working, and each press is generally supplied with one. PICKER. A fine pointed bodkin, or a needle, with which to take picks out of a form. PICKS. When either pieces of the skin or film that grows on ink w ith standing by, or any dirt, get into the hollows of the face of the letter, that film or dirt will fill or choke up the face of the letter, and print black; and is called a pick, because the pressman with the point of a needle picks it out -i\/. PIE. When a page is broken, those broken letters are called pie. .SW Buoke.v Letteus. — M. We now call it Pie when the letters are all mi.\ed indiscriminately together. It is equally the interest of the employer and the workman to prevent the accumulation of pie in a printing otfice, for it swallows up useful sorts, to the delay, loss, and disappointment of both parties ; and if a strict method Ijc not enforced to prevent its increase, a imister may be continually ca.sting sorts; and at last it becomes an Herculean task to clear it away. No receptacle for it should ever Ik' accessible to the workmen; and no types should ever be put into the waste metal box but by the person who has the care of the materials, that he may be enabled to prevent any abuse of this kind ; for it is too common a practice, both for boys and men, when an accident happens, to throw a great part of the pie into the waste metal box, to save themselves the trouble of distributing it. PKi. Pressmen are called pigs by compositors, sometimes by way of sport, anti sometimes by way of irritation ; in the same way the press room is calleil a pigstye. When the compositors wish to teaze them, they will grunt when a pressman goes into the composing room ; but they rarely venture to do this in the press room. In ^loxon's time they were called Horses. Sec .Ancient Customs. PICiEON HOLES. Wide whites between words, are by compositors (in way of scandal) called pigeon-holes, and arc by none accounted gootl workmanship, unless in cases of necessity. — M. Cases of necessity do not make them good workmanship ; and the only instances in which they are tolerated are when a page is small, and the type is large in proportion to it, and in columns of table work. In marginal notes they arc avoided, by not of necessity spacing every line full out. PILE OF BOOKS. When a work is finished at the press, it is ga¬ thered, collated, folded, and put into books, pressed, and then piled up in some convenient part of the warehouse, in readiness for delivery. The piles are erected as a stone mason would build, in layers of four, five, six, or more books to each layer, according to the number printed, and the convenience in the warehouse; the books forming these layers are turned back and fore edge alternately, so that a single copy can be readily got, and in removing them they are less liable to get confused ; the upper layer should always be laid in a different order from that below it, so that the book should invariably cross a joining of that under it; PLANER. 591 and when the pile, is high, I would recommend some wrappers to be placed occasionally between the layers, they prevent the sides bulging out, and make the pile firm. It is necessary to wrap up each parcel of the bottom layer in brown paper or wrappers, to preserve the edges and backs of the books clean. For the protection of this bottom layer, the pile should be erected on a stage, or, in default of that, some wrappers and waste paper should be spread on the floor upon which to place it; for the pile should never be raised without something interposed between the books and the floor. PILE OF PAPER is made similar to a pile of books ; but, as the paper always comes in to a printing office cased in wrappers, the pre¬ cautions used in keeping a pile of books clean are not necessary. The number of bundles in the foundation will be determined by the quantity received. The warehouseman should invariably mark the wrapper of each bundle with the name of the work it is intended for, before it is piled away. PILE OF PRINTED PAPER. During the progress of printing a work, the sheets are, after being dried, placed in piles, generally resting against a wall of the building. When the sheets are taken down dry from the poles, they are knocked up even, and piled against a ;vall generally, upon a stage to keep the bottom of the pile out of the way of harm, or, in want of a stage, upon some wrappers and waste paper to keep the bottom sheets from the floor, one wrapper always placed so as to project and turn over about a ream of paper, and turned into the heap, to preserve the edges clean, the first signature being always at the bottom, and the following ones piled in consecutive order upon it; between each signature a label is inserted in front, with the name of the work and the signature. What are called tops are placed on the pile, and some waste paper, to preserve the top sheets from dust and other matters that might soil them. It is usual to place the bottom a few inches from, and to gradually incline it to, the wall, so that the upper part may rest against it: this causes the pile to stand firmer than it would do if piled perpendicularly. MR. PITT’S MARK. The printer’s name and residence affixed to printed books or other articles, by the enactment of the act of pailiament of 39 Geo. 3. c. 79., was technically so called. PLANE DOWN. To make the face of all the types in a form even, by passing the face of the planer over them, and striking the back of it with a mallet. When the quoins are pushed up with the fingers, previous to locking the form up, I Avould plane it down gently, striking the back of the planer with the side of my doubled hand, lifting the planer a little up each time it is advanced; after the quoins are tightened round the form, I would plane it down again gently with the mallet; and finally with firmer blows after it is locked up ; always lifting the planer clear of the form at every advance that is made with it; if any thing be under the form, it will be perceived when you plane down with the hand; that part should be omitted being struck upon; and when the form is locked up it ought to be lifted, the substance that is under it taken away, the form then laid down again, the quoins of that quarter slackened, and planed down : but types that stand up from any cause should never be planed down while tightly locked up, as it is almost a certainty that they will be destroyed. PLANER. A piece of beech wood, planed smooth and even on the face, to plane the types in a form down with, by striking it on the top 592 PLATE PAPER. with a mallet, to prevent any of them from standing up. It is usually made 9 inches long, 44: broad, out of 2 inch stuff, a little thicker in the crown, and the edges hollowed the long way, to facilitate the lifting of it about. PLANETS. The names of seven planets are used in some instances for the seven days of the week, in the following manner: — The Sun, Dies Solis, is Sunday. The Moon, Dies Lutue, is Monday. Mars, Dies Martis, is Tuesday. Mercury, Dies Mercurii, is Wednesday. Jupiter, Dies Jovis, is Thursday. Venus, Dies Veneris, is Friday. Saturn, Dies Sutiirni, is Saturday. In the Journals of the House of Lords, they use the term Dies SaO- hali for Saturday, that day being the original Sabbatli. See Astro* NOMiCAL Characters. PLANK. That part of a wooden press wliich forms the bottom of the coffin ; it projects l)eyond the coffin wliere the tympan joints are placed, upon which part the gallows sockets are fixed ; on the bottom the cramp irons; and to each end tlic girths, wliercwitli to run the carriage in and out. PL.VTEN. The platen is commonly made of beechen plank, two inches and an half thick, its length about fourteen inches, and its breadth al)out nine inches. — M. J'his is the dcscrij)tion of a platen for a two pull press of the old construction: they are now always made of well seasoned hard mahogany for wooden presses, thicker, and sometimes faced with iron. The platen is that ])art of the machine which comes down upon the form, and, being acted upon by the spindle, produces the impression. Iron presses have nearly superseded wooden jircsscs, and have of course iron platens ; they are all one pull presses, and the ]>laten ought to be made large enough to cover the types of as large a form as the press will contaiti. Whether they be of wood or of iron, the face of the platen, that is, the underside, whica produces the imj)ression, oiight to be a true plane, as the least inc(|uality in it produces an unequal impression, which causes a great ileal of trouble at j)ress to rectify it, more particularly in fine work. FL.ATEN HOOKS. Four iron hooks screwed into the corners of the platen. — J/. To tie it up by to the hose hooks. This is in wooden presses. PL.VTEN P.\N. A square pan on the top of the platen, in M-hich the toe of the spindle works. — J/. .\t present it is made round, of bell metal, with a stud of hardened steel in it, for the toe of the spindle to work on, and it fits into the platen plate with a square stem. PLATEN PL.ATE. A square plate of iron inlaid on the top of the platen in wooden presses, in which is placed the platen pan. PL.VTE PAPER. This paper takes a good impression ; but, without great care at press, owing to its thickness and softness, it is by the process jiressed into the interstices between the lines, which produces an im¬ pression of more than the surface, and, of course, of more than is wanted to appear, particularly in engravings on wood : the skill of the artist is thus rendered of little avail; aud the delicacy and tone of the engraving are destroyed. To control this evil, when thick plate paper is used, I would advise that it should be very slightly u etted ; when a few impressions only are POLLING BACKWARD. 593 wanted, putting the pieces into a heap of damp paper for a short time will be sufficient; and to have only one thickness of stout paper in the tympans. See Paper. Wetting Paper. Plav with Quadrats. See Ancient Customs. — M . Also Jeff, and Throw. PLURAL. For the plural number of nouns. See Orthography. POINTS. Two thin pieces of iron, with points or spurs at one end, fixed to the tympan with screws, to make register with. See Register Spur. Points. See Typographical Points. POINT HOLES. The two holes the points prick in a sheet of paper. — M. These holes are made by the point spurs when the white paper is working, and are for the purpose of making register with when the reiteration is worked by fitting these holes on the spurs, on the opposite side of the sheet of paper. POINTING. When the Pressmen are working the reiteration, and have to place the point holes, made when the white paper was worked, on the points, in order to make both sides of the sheet in register, it is frequently termed Pointing. POINTS. and other marks, are all by Printers and Founders called Points. — M. We have now in addition the i II H = but when we speak of points at the present day, it is gene¬ rally understood to mean those only which are used in punctuation, from the comma to the apostrophe ; the parenthesis and crotchet are spoken of by their names ; and the others are usually styled marks, or references. For the uses of them, See Punctuation ; and each point or reference under its own name. POINT SCREWS. Two square headed and square shanked bolts with a screw at the end, that go through the grooves in the tympan, with a nut on the upper side, by which the points are firmly affixed to the tympan. POLES. To hang paper on to dry. They are about two inches and a half wide, made of inch white deal, and are placed across the room, about fourteen inches from the ceiling and nine or ten inches apart, resting at each end on a long piece of wood fastened to the walls of the room, in notches to retain them in their situations. They should always be kept clean, and, if they have not had paper hung on them for some time, the warehouseman should see that the dust be brushed off them before any more is hung up. See Hang up. Paper. Peel. POLLING BACKWARD. There are instances when a piece of work has been in the hands of a companionship, and one of them has obtained a knowledge of the following copy having some fat in it, a short page or a blank page for instance, that he has delayed his own work in order to obtain this fat; and thus lose perhaps two shillings, which he might have earned in the time, to obtain an advantage to the amount of but one shilling. This is termed backwards. 594 POLONAISE. POLONAISE. The Polish alphabet consists of twenty-four letters, viz.: — Figure. Power. A a a/t, as in father, art. B b b, as in bay. C c ts, or the German z. D d d, as in day. E e French e mute. !• f f, as in deaf, Jine. (i g always a hard sound, as in game, gift. II h is always aspirated. 1 i i in field, ee in bee. J j y consonant.

W w initial, as v ; medial and final as f. X X X, as in six. Y y a more obscure sound than i, which is always very clear. Z s initial; as zegar (to show) pr. segar. In addition the following letters are accented, viz., consonants, , b,c I, til, li, p, s, w, j, z; vowels, ti, e, 6, a, e. When 11, ni, h, p, are accented, it is necessary to soften them a little by adding a very soft i, as tlrab (drab'). VN'hen c is accented, it takes the sound of cA French. £. t, has a peculiar pronunciation of its own, nothing equivalent to it in English. When i is accented, it takes the sound of a very feeble French c/i. When w is accented, it takes the sound of f, with a very feeble t added. When ^ is accented, it takes the sound of s. i (pointed) is pronounced as # in pleasure, or French j \r\ jamais. a is distinguished very little in pronunciation, but it serves to show certain forms in the declensions. 6 is pronounced as oo, or French ou.

Q and V are used only in foreign proper names, &c. and are not strictly to be considered as Polish letters. — Grammaire Abregee de la Langue Polonaise, par Jean Severin Va/er. Halle et Strasbourg, 1807. Some Polish grammarians assert that the q is preferable to the q„ as PRESS. 595 being more consistent with the general sound of the letter, and some books have been printed in which the q is substituted, but still q, is by far the most generally used.

The Portuguese alphabet contains twenty-four letters, being the same as the English, with the exception of K and W, which are not in their alphabet. The tittle, or little dash, which the Portuguese call til, is set by them over some letters instead of m; as be instead of bem; conve instead of conv^m ; hua instead of huma.' They also set their til ~ over the vowels ao, aa, in the end of words, thus ao aa. It may be observed that the curved mark ~ is the most perfect, though it is found necessary, in English types, frequently to substitute the plain " instead of the curved.— Vieyra’s Portuguese Grammar, 9th edit.

The last syllable but three of a word. PRESS. The machine by means of which a printed impression of types and engravings in relief is obtained. It is a curious circumstance, that from the first introduction of the art of printing in Europe, about 1440, till Earl Stanhope made a great improvement, the principle of the press remained the same, and even the construction of it underwent little alteration. The principle is simple; a level surface attached to the end of a screw, by which it is pressed upon the types with a sheet of paper interposed to receive the impression. The improvements that Lord Stanhope introduced were an increased power, by means of a compound lever attached to the screw: this in- 596 PRESS. creased power was the means of producing larger presses, which enabled the printers to print larger sheets of paper than before, with one pull, even to the extent of a double royal; and these new presses, being made of iron, produced better workmanship than wooden ones, with less trouble, the wooden platen being subject to be indented, which occa¬ sioned the impression to be irregular; this required much time and trouble to equalize it, particularly in fine work. This iron platen wears out types sooner than the wooden platen. Many of our most splendid books were printed with wooden presses. For some account of tlie most approved iron presses, see under their respective names Although there are but few wooden printing presses now made, iron j)resse3 having superseded them, yet, as tliere are many still in being, it may be useful to retain the knowledge of fixing tliem in a proper manner, on which account 1 shall give an old pressman’s directions I’or this purpose. “ To erect a Press -The feet must be horizontal, and the cheeks perpendicular ; then put the cap on the clieeks, and fix the stays as firmly as possible between the cap and a solid wall, or a strong beam : while the joiner is doing this, the pressman rubs well with black lead the tenotis of the heatl and winter, the mortises in the cheeks, and all other parts where friction occurs. Place the winter horizontally, and on it j)ut the carriage which contains the ribs; the joiner shortens or lengthens the fore stay under the carriage till the ribs become horizontal; lay the cotfin on the ribs; btd the stone, which is a very particular point, as it must be perfectly horizontal, and ought to be of equal thick¬ ness, and as smooth on the under side as on the iq)j)er surface, so that if the face should be at any time so indented as not to be fit for work, the same stone will ilo by turning it over, and occasion very little trouble in bedding it, and will not be so liable to break in working down as a new one. Cartridge paper is the safest bedtling, and stout tape laid even under the stone is preferable to cords, as I know it is a pre¬ ventive to the stone breaking; ami afU'r it is bedded, the ends of the tape are easier j)ut between the cotfin and the stone than cord. “ 'I’he head being put in, and the box with the spindle in it, fix the shelves ; then fix the platen ; this must be done so exact as to touch the face of all the type at one and the same time : the way to know this, is by cutting four narrow slips of j)aper about six inches long, and, taking care that there is no dirt on the stone nor on the bottom of the form, plane it well down, place the four slips of j)apcr, one on each of the four corner pages; bring down the platen so gently, that the corners of it may barely touch the slips of paper, with very little pressure; if they all bind alike at one instant, the platen hangs right; if not, alter the fixing till they equally bind. “ The rounce being set, and the upper and under bolsters made, the pressman lays on a heavy form without blank pages, if he can get one ; and if it be a new press, he brings tlown the bar to the near cheek regularly, until the press be properly wrought down. As he goes on, the new scaleboards work close, and cause the press to lose power; the pressman must continue adding more, until there be a sufficient quantity in the head. If it be really necessary, put some scaleboards under the winter, but the fewer the better.

By 2 & 3 Will. 4. c. 84. printing ink pays a duty of Ten Shillings a cwt. on being imported into this country. See Engravings on Wood. Fine Presswork. Ink. PROOF. An impression of a sheet of a work, or of a job, to be examined to see that it be correct. Proofs are termed, according to circumstances. First Proof ; Clean Proof ; Its own Paper ; and Revise ; for a description of which see each article. PROOF PAPER. A low-priced paper, of which a stock is kept in printing offices to pull proofs on, as well as to use for common jobs. A quire or two, according to the extent of business, is always wetted ready for use in the press room, where it is generally placed under a paper board upon a table or bulk, sometimes in the heap that is working, to keep it in better condition. It ought to be a hard sized, tough paper, and should bear writing ink on it without allowing it to sink through. PROOF PRESS. See Empty Press.— M. A press set apart to pull proofs at. It is generally an old press, that has become from age and wear unfit for regular business: the tympans are replaced by a thin iron frame, pierced with holes, within which is stretched a blanket, drawn tight by the edges and laced through these holes. This press is com¬ monly so inefficient, that when a good proof is wanted, it is necessary to pull it at a press that is in working order. Some large establishments have good presses to pull proofs at, and, where the composing rooms are not on the same floor, have one in each room. 656 PUBLICATIONS, PERIODICAL. PSALM BOOKS.

The Greeks and Romans were unacquainted u’ith grammatical punctuation. With them it was for the most part only oratorical, since it referred, excepting a point at the end of a sentence and at some pauses, almost only to the elocution and pronunciation of the words. The first very imperfect beginning of our punctuation occurs in the time of Charlemagne, when a period of three points, and a stroke, were made use of, yet without following any definite rule. About the end of the fifteenth century, punctuation obtained a greater compass and a more settled character through the learned ^'enetian printer .Manucci, so that he may be considered as the author of it. But still much time elapsed before the marks of punctuation collectively came generally into use as at present. Through the introduction of these marks it has become possible to read a bfjok with facility, and to recite a poem with a musical cadence. But still we feel too often, that our grammatical marks are far IVoni Butticient for the purposes of declamation, seeing that we are sometimes obliged to make oratorical pauses where no grammatical points are ap¬ plicable, and sometimes to double the pause for one and the same grammatical mark. Thus we read this passage in Wieland's “ Goldene Spiegel,” pt. 1. p. 121.: — “ Diese Methode bildete gleisnerische Schurken, welche ausgelernte Meister in der Kunst waren, ihre Leidcnschaftcn zu verbergen, ihre schlimmcn Neigungen in schdnc .Maskcn zu verinummcn, die Unver- Btiimligen durch eine Tugend und Religion tddtende I’hrascologie zu tiiuschen.’’ — “This method created hypocritical ra.scals, who were accomplished ma.sters in the art of dissembling their emotions, of dis¬ guising their evil propensities under fine masks, and of deceiving the heedless by a virtue and religion killing phraseology.” Here we readily perceive that after the word Methode, and also after eine, a ])ausc must be made in reading, although no grammatical point is employed. And we have for this purpose no other mark than the dash (—). In like manner, every reader will perceive that the grammatical pause after Schnrkcn must be made much longer than after trnren, because this last is so closely connected with the word immediately following, that the voice glides over it rapidly. Jlcinsiun, German Grammar. The knowledge of punctuation being essential equally to the master printer, the render, and the compositor, I have cxtracteer3on asks himself in contemplation, ought to be terminated by points of interrogation : as, ‘ Who adorned the heavens with such exquisite beauty?’ ‘ At whose command do the planets per¬ form their constant revolutions ? ’ “ A point of interrogation is improper after sentences which are not questions, but only expressions of admiration, or of some other emo¬ tion. “ ‘ How many instances have we of chastity and excellence in the fair sex! ’ “ ‘ With what prudence does the son of Sirach advise us in the choice of our companions ! ’ “ A note of interrogation should not be employed, in cases where it is only said a question has been asked, and where the words are not used as a question. ‘ The Cyprians asked me, w hy I wept.’ To give this sen- PUNCTUATION. 669 tence the interrogative form, it should be expressed thus : ‘ The Cyprians said to me, “ Why dost thou Aveep ?” ’ “ Exclamation. —The note of Exclamation is applied to expressions of sudden emotion, surprise, joy, grief, &c. and also to invocations or addresses: as, ‘ My friend ! this conduct amazes me ! ’ ‘ Bless the Lord, O my soAil! and forget not all his benefits ! ’ “ ‘ Oh ! had Ave both our humble state maintain’d. And safe in peace and poverty remain’d!’ “ ‘ Hear me, O Lord ! for thy loving kindness is great! ’ “ It is difficult, in some cases, to distinguish betAveen an interrogative and exclamatory sentence; but a sentence, in Avhich any Avonder or admiration is expressed, and no ansAver either expected or implied, may be always properly terminated by a note of exclamation : as, ‘ How much vanity in the pursuits of men ! ’ ‘ Who can sufficiently express the good¬ ness of our Creator! ’ ‘ What is more amiable than virtue ! ’ “ The interrogation and exelamation points are indeterminate as to their quantity or time, and may be equivalent in that respect to a semi¬ colon, a colon, or a period, as the sense may require. They mark an elevation of the voice. The utility of the points of interrogation and exclamation, appears from the folloAving examples, in which meaning is signified and discrimi¬ nated solely by the points. . “ ‘ What condescension 1 ’ “ ‘ What condescension ? ’ “ ‘ How great was the sacrifice ! ’ “ ‘ Hoav great was the sacrifice ? ’ “ Parenthesis. — A parenthesis is a clause containing some neces¬ sary information, or useful remark, introduced into the body of a sentence obliquely, and Avhich may be omitted without injuring the construction : as, “ ‘ KnoAV then this truth; (enough for man to knovA^,) Virtue alone is happiness beloAV.’ “ ‘ And was the I’ansom paid ? It Avas; and paid (What can exalt his bounty more?) for thee.’ “ ^ To gain a posthumous reputation, is to save four or five letters (for Avhat is a name besides ?) from oblivion.’ ‘ Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that knoAv the laAv,) hoAv that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth ? ’ “ If the incidental clause is short, or perfectly coincides with the rest of the sentence, it is not proper to use the parenthetical characters. The folloAving instances are therefore improiier uses of the parenthesis. ‘ Speak you (avIio saAv) his Avonders in the deep.’ ‘ Every planet (as the Creator has made nothing in vain) is most probably inhabited.’ ‘ He found them asleep again; (for their eyes Avere heavy ;) neither knew they Avhat to answer him.’ “ The parenthesis marks a moderate depression of the voice, and may be accompanied with every point Avhich the sense would require, if the parenthetical characters were omitted. It ought to terminate with the same kind of stop Avhich the member has, that precedes it; and to con¬ tain that stop Avithin the parenthetical marks. We must, however, except cases of interrogation and exclamation: as, ‘ While they Avish to please, (and why should they not Avish it?) they disdain dishonourable nreans.’ ‘It was represented by an analogy, (Oh, hoAV inadequate!) Avhich was borrowed from,’ ” &c. 670 QUOINS. Q. QUADRATS. Pieces of type metal, of the depth of the body of the respective sizes to M’hich they are cast, and lower than types, so as to leave a blank space on the paper, when printed, where they are placed: an en quadrat is half as thick as its depth ; an em quadrat is equal in thickness and depth, and, being square on its surface, is the true quadrat, from quudratus, squared; a two em quadrat is twice the thickness of its depth ; a three em three times ; and a four cm four times, as tlieir names specify. Pour ems are the largest quadrats that are cast. Tliey are used to fill out short lines; to form white lines; and to justify letters, figures, &c., in any part of a line or page. Pour cm quailrats are rarely cast larger than Pica; English and (Ireat Primer do not exceed three ems; nor does Double Pica exceed two ems. (iU.VRTER.

A quotation “ ”. Two inverted commas are gene¬ rally placed at the beginning of a phrase or a passage, which is quoted or transcribed from the speaker or author in his own words; and two commas, in their direct position, are placed at the conclusion: as, “ The proper study of mankind is man.”— Murray. Murray’s “ direct ” commas are superior commas, and consequently what are technically called apostrophes. We derive the use of inverted commas from France, where one Guil¬ lemet was the author of them, to exclude the use of Italick from quota¬ tions : as an acknowledgement for which improvement, his countrymen called these inverted commas after his name. Guillemets ; whereas the Germans made a jest of their figure, and gave them the name of Gaense- augen, or Geese-eyes. See Apostrophe. QUOTATION QUADRATS are cast the height of the Quotation.

From the frames in a composing room being placed in a row, the Compositors are said to be in the ranks ; thus, if a compositor has been selected for a reader, or overseer, and he afterwards works at case as a compositor, it is said, he is come to the ranks again. RAT. A compositor, or pressman, who executes work at- less than the regular prices, or for less than the generality of the trade think it deserves, or for less than the chapel decides it ought to be paid, or for less than others are paid for it, becomes what is termed a rat; the most miserable situation, perhaps, that a workman can be placed in. He is hooted at and despised by the rest of the workmen in every house where he may obtain employment; and this feeling towards him does not sub¬ side, for the opprobrious epithet accompanies him for life. READER. A person whose duty it is to read proofs in a printing office, for the purpose of correcting the errors, that are unavoidable from the nature of the process of arranging the types into words, lines, and pages. After the compositor has corrected these errors in the form, a clean proof is pulled by the pressman, which, with the first proof, comes, in the regular routine of the business, to the reader again, to revise ; that is, to compare the two carefully, to see that the errors thaf^ were first marked have been corrected, and to notice such as may have escaped the compositor’s attention, as well as any additional ones that may have been made. The corrected proof is then sent to the author or editor, and if G72 reader. he makes many alterations, it is again corrected in the proof is then pulled, uhieh comes again to the reader, author’s corrections, and reads it very carefully tor press, to detect any errors that may have escaped the first reading, and ^ notice • when it is laid on, the pressman pulls a revise, " h ch is to the' reader, who again carefully revises it, to see that al le are corrected, and that the margin and the workmanship are g , ■-,r-r-r « .oou,, imariably have the first proofs of any given work read by ^ ‘ ' " me reader, and ti.e press proofs also by one and tfie same but a dif¬ ferent reader; in tliis ease tlicrc » onld be an arrangement made betn een till reiulerUither orally or taeitly, wi.li "'r'* the ortliovrapliy, compound uords, ibc division ol ivords, and llie ui c- atioi aiiL erienJeil compositor ivoiild con»e,|uently vep- son la “rtim nielli,Id. and, knowing liow ' ,“7;,"°t li ive verv little trouble with his proots; and the whole uo dd juocec with roLnilarity and uniformity, and be more correct, than il ■’ hml bS indiscriininately give;,, lo any of llie readers who iniglit happen inllLTaXer" olToS^ injury to . 1,0 work as well as vesalion to the compositor would be avoided; for where the second |;ro«fs ‘aU into the hamis of ditferent readers, it must necessarily happen tliat im ^ u ill be multiplied, from the ditferent views which same points where there arc no positive laws to reler to, but ulu re arbitrarv private iudgment decides instead ; thus, one reader diflers fmm another with respect to the use of the capital.-, as to the division of words, tlie or.liograpby, and the luincbialim, i 1 in. traJing L co,„po.i,r.r. who is never certain under these eireniustanees I hat plan to tbllow, for wliat is right to-day may be wrong [o-morw^ and eiVe eer.wi, besides the ,iecuniary loss he "'“‘'‘''S XrafionsT’aSn to tlm deterioration of the work, from the want '’^MliJ'reliiJ^'lm'^aStof remembrance of the sensitiveness of authors, by ciidcavouriiig, witli the best intentions, to iinproe their Ian- e ar and thus making unauthorized alterations in the proofs: his ^uSs m unpleasant feeling, and I have known the roailer accused of 3rcriticisn , ami the original words restored ; m otl.er instances 1 ha e k iow .7tlie reader to have been told that he did not understand tl e known tiie rin remiest that for the future he would literally Mh::^’h.T.p y.':;^ »“•'«>' •» »">• VI.I think proper. -Vfter a long experience I have invariablj ^o^^’d 'it the most satisfactorv plan, when I perceived a mistake, or wi i •I pissa'-e that I did 'not understand, or that 1 thought incorrec , ^ 'i \°line under the words, and insert a query in the margin, thus d^winir tl"e authors attentten to the part; if he altered the passage, it wpII if he *did not, the responsibilitv was his ; thus the author s Jlelinef were not wounded, and in most c'ases he expressed his satisfac- tSli at this method ; but I never knew an instance where any censure was making' these general observations, I am actuated onlj bj the motive Jhat'printers should combine the desire to be correct with the lo of cLciliatins the kind feelings ol the author or editor. principle of conciliating RECORDS. 673 REAM. A ream of paper consists of twenty quires, each of twenty- four sheets, with the exception of the two quires at the outside of each ream, called Outside Quires or Corded Quires, which consist of twenty sheets each, all damaged, torn, or imperfect, more or less : this is the state in which paper is uniformly delivered by the paper-maker from the mill. For private use it may be obtained from the stationers made up with twenty inside quires, that is, of quires of perfect paper; a ream in this state consists of 480 sheets. For the purpose of printing, it is always sent to printing offices in a state technically styled perfect, made up into bundles, each bundle containing forty-three quires; thus a ream will consist of twent 3 ’^-one quires and a half, or 516 sheets; this surplus allows for accidents in wetting, at press, and in the warehouse, as well as waste, and enables the printer to deliver to the publisher the full count. The outside quires are generally sold to bookbinders, but those of writing-paper are used by stationers in making copy books and memo¬ randum books. RECORDS. In the year 1800, the House of Commons voted an Ad¬ dress to His Majesty King George III. on the state of the Public Records of this kingdom, and the necessity of providing for the better arrange¬ ment, preservation, and more convenient use of the same; and humbly represented that the Public Records of the kingdom are in many offices unarranged, undescribed, and unascertained ; that many of them are ex¬ posed to erasure, alteration, and embezzlement, and are lodged in build¬ ings incommodious and insecure, and that it would be beneficial to the public service that the records and papers contained in many of the principal offices and repositories should be methodized, and that certain of the more antient and valuable amongst them should be printed; and humbly besought His Majesty, that He would be graciously pleased to give such directions thereupon, as He in His wisdom should think fit. The first commission, bearing date the 19th of July 1800, states, “that We, considering the premises, and earnestly desiring more effectually to provide for the better arrangement, preservation, and more convenient use of the said records and papers, and reposing great trust and confidence in your fidelity, discretion, and integrity; — “ Have authorized and appointed, and by these presents do authorize and appoint you the said VVilliam Henry Cavendish Duke of Portland, William Windham Baron Grenville, Henry Dundas, Henry Addington, William Pitt, Sir Richard Pepper Arden, Frederick Campbell (commonly called Lord Frederick Campbell), Sylvester Douglas, Sir John Mitford, Sir William Grant, Robert Dundas, and Charles Abbot, and any three or more of you, to make a diligent and particular inquiry into the several matters which our faithful Commons have, in the above-mentioned report of their proceedings, represented as fitting to be provided for by our royal authority.” “ And to the end that Our royal will and pleasure in the premises may be executed with the greater regularity and expedition. We farther by these presents will and command, and do hereby give full power and authority to you or any three or more of you, to nominate and appoint from time to time such person of ability, care, and diligence, as ye shall think fit, to be and act as your Clerk or Secretary, for the purpose of aiding you in the execution of these presents; and also to nominate and appoint in like manner such several persons of ability, care, and diligence, as ye may think fit, to be Sub-Commissioners, to be employed under your direction and controul in the premises; and more especially to me¬ thodize, regulate, and digest the records, rolls, instruments, books, and X X 674 RECORDS. papers, in any of Our public offices and repositories; and to cause such of the said records, rolls, instruments, books, and papers as are decayed and in danger of being destroyed, to be bound and secured; and to make exact calendars and indexes thereof; and to superintend the printing of such calendars and indexes, and original records and papers as ye shall cause to be printed.” The Commissioners have in consequence published several volumes of the Records, which contain documents of tlie highest importance to the owner of landed property, to the family historian, and to the topographical writer, as well as assist in the elucidation of the manners and customs of the times to whicli they belong; while to the general historian they are invaluable, as opening new sources of the most valuable and authentic information, which previously had been virtually closed against his re¬ searches. The portions of the Records already published have been printed literally from the originals, with all their abbreviations and peculiarities preserved. This renders them difficult to be read by the inexperienced in ancient manuscripts ; and since county historians and other topogra¬ phical writers make frcciuent extracts from these ancient records, to establish facts concerning persons, places, ami j)roj)erty, I have thought it useful to give a detailed article on this subject, which may be equally useful in the library as in the printing-office. 'I'he Commissioners have also published several volumes of Calendars and Indexes to many classes of Records. To enter into a history, however brief, of the various public Records, would be foreign to the objects of the present work: for such infor¬ mation the reader is reh'rrctl to publications that treat especially upon the subject. It is sufficient I'or the purpose to state, that each of the King’s Courts of judicature registers its acts and proceedings upon rolls of parchment, which are called the Records of the court to which they belong; for instance, the Chancery Rolls, which contain the registration of all matters which jiass uniler the great seal of England, are divided into classes ; particular rolls being ap|)ropriated to the entry of parti¬ cular matters, 'riius, the Norman Rolls contain entries chieHy relating to Norman atfairs; the Scotch Rolls comj)rehend those which regard Scotland generally ; the Parliament Rolls embrace matters touching the Parliament; the Pine Rolls, entries respecting fines paid to the king for grants of liberties and privileges. The Close Rolls preserve copies of letters directed to individuals for their sole guidance and inspection, which, being j)rivate, are for this reason folded up, and closed with a seal; while the Patent Rolls, on the contrary, contain co)iies of letters which, though Ijcaring a seal on their lower margin as a mark of au¬ thenticity, are not closed, but remain potent or open, to be shown to all men : these convey directions or commands of general obligation, or are given to individuals for their ])articular protection, profit, or personal advantage. A few only of the Chancery Records have been here enu¬ merated ; but sufficient has been stated to show the reader that each species of roll has its distinguishing characteristic. A Chancery roll is composed of a number of skins of parchment so connected that the top of the second is attached to the bottom of the first, the top of the third to the bottom of the second, and so on ; the whole being rolled up in the manner of a piece of cloth in a draper’s shop, or of carpet in the warehouse of the manufacturer. The reader will, from this description, readily understand that the word “roll” (^roiulus, a rotare, to turn round^ is but a synonym of RECORDS. 675 the word “ volume ” (yolumen, a volvere, to roll), and that, from the longitudinal connexion of its component skins, a reference made from any entry upon it, to a preceding or succeeding one, will be literally and properly expressed by the words vide supra and vide infra. He will likewise clearly comprehend that not only the interior, or intus, of the roll, upon which the characteristic entries have been made, will necessarily be kept clean and free from atmospheric influence, but also the greater part of the exterior, which is denominated the dors. This circumstance afforded the scribes an opportunity, which they readily embraced, of using the dors for entries and memoranda that were I’re- quently very different in their character from those contained on the intus of the roll. The Rolls of the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Ex¬ chequer, contain the proceedings of those Courts ; and they differ from those of the Chancery, not only in the nature of their contents, but also in the form in which thej' are made up. A roll of these courts consists of an indefinite number of skins sewn or attached together with a strong ligature of parchment at the top, and the subject is written both on the intus and dors, precisely in the same way as a book or letter is written ; after the intus is filled, the subject is continued on the dors. In using this kind of roll, each skin, when perused, is turned back over the head of the rest, and brought down immediately after that which just before had been the last of the series ; until, the whole having been thus in their order revolved, the first skin is again brought into its original position. The entire mass, being unprotected by pasteboard or other unyielding covers, is perfectly flexible, and, having been rolled up in the manner of a quire of paper, which it is desired to reduce to its smallest compass, is confined in its position by a piece of tape or other adequate ligature. For every regnal year of a King’s reign there is one or more of each class of rolls appropriated; according to the quantity of business done, so is the number of each class of rolls : for instance, the Patent Rolls of the 1st of Edward the Fourth, extending to six rolls or parts, as they are called, contain the enrolment of all the Letters Patent made during that year ; the Charter Rolls of the same year, all the Charters granted in that year; as the Close Rolls do all the Letters Close issued in that year. In quoting an entry from a roll, it is usual for writers to state first the name of the roll on which it is to be found; as. Hot. Pat. (Rotulus Pa- tentium). Rot. Claus. (Rotulus Clausarum), the word “Litterarum” being understood in the two preceding cases; Rot. Fin. (Rotulus Finium), &c. Then follows the year of the king’s reign. Should the roll be di¬ vided into parts, the part also is specified ; as, p. 1. or pars ]., p. 2. or pars 2. The next circumstance noticed is the particular skin or membrane on which the entry occurs ; as, m. 23. If the entries on the skin have numbers attached to them, the number also (n. 1., &c.) is cited: and if the entry is made on the back or dors of the roll, that circumstance is ex¬ pressed by adding d. or in dorso (i. e. “ on the back ”) to the quotation; for, should this be omitted, the entry will very naturally be sought for upon the intus of the roll. Citing, then, an entry, from the Patent Rolls for instance, we will suppose the quotation to run in the following form, “ Rot. Pat. 13 Edw. III. p. 2. m. 23. which would be thus rendered in English : “ On the twenty-third skin of the second part of the Patent Roll of the thirteenth year of Edward the Third.” Before quitting this part of the subject, it may not be unimportant to state that, on examining a roll, it is not an unfrequent circumstance to 676 RECORDS. meet with entries which are to prevent suspicion tliat this has bee. untanl j it ceSation i, generally adJed at t'lf . f; SjeriuT-'* Because it has tl,e person who discovered yl";. the Lord Chan- :Srl'w“o" '5/efS':ri Pa'tcnt or Charters were adjudged void, was elision, and tWetio,,.-words cad, *"‘^'“5“7"““ standing as ailoptfii to iircvent frequently used indiscriminately parts ol a composition, —ha\ ii g .lUnlea-si d to be here reminded l,„e for another the '' j'Xt'„f each in the order in of their original sigmhcations. lo treat, iiien, which it has been named ; several times oblitiuely across dtu.otes the drauing 1 ^ apassage, first Iron.

Some persons, however, e’tnpiov the straight line through a consonant, tnstead of RECORDS. 677 the circumflex, to denote the omission of one or more letters; as, voh for voMs, qd for quod. A small letter placed above the line (hence called a superior letter) indicates an omission of which such letter forms a part; as, don*^ for donee, p'us for prius, q°s for quos, s’^ for supra, t' for tibi. The four following double characters occur in Sir Francis Pal- grave’s “ Parliamentary Writs,” in each of which the superior immediately surmounts its subjacent letter, having been cast with it by the founder as if they had been but one character:—rh, for mihi', n, for nisi', q, used for qui and quia; t, for tibi. The apostrophe is sometimes used as a mark of abbreviation, generally after an initial capital, but sometimes also in other parts of the word. A point or dot, placed after a letter, is frequently used as a sign of final abbreviation ; as, ass. no. diss. for assises novas disseisinee, di. T; fi. s. for dilecto ei Jideli suo, e. for est, plurib. for pluribus. The signification of the following characters is fixed and positive:— 9 This symbol, sometimes called the c cursive, or c reversed, denotes com or con: as, gmitto, committo; Qtra, contra. Before the adoption of the present elegant type, this character was represented in printing by an old-fashioned figure of g; as, gmune, commune. In the “ Parliamen¬ tary Writs,” a turned c supplies its place; as, opetere, competere. f This represents the es plural and is possessive in the termi¬ nation of Old English nouns : in later times it was much used for the is final of Latin genitives. In the extiact from Richard of Devizes, immediately to be given, it has been uniformly thus employed. e This character, which resembles the cedilla of the French (9), is sometimes employed as the representative of the diph¬ thong (B in particular records; as, terre, terras. t or T Each of these characters represents est, simple or in com¬ position ; as, simple, j est; in composition, interj interest. e or S' These also denote est: they sometimes stand for ess; as, ee, esse; Set, esset. &, 7, and T; are abbreviated forms of the conjunction et. They were not, however, used indiscriminately, as in the subse¬ quent praxis, but are peculiar to MSS. of very different periods of time. T;c. et ccstera. 678 records.

When er is omitted after one of the ascending letters i, d, or /i, its absence is generally denoted by the circumflex line drawn across the upright stem of the letter: as tabna, taberua; considatum, consideratum; lies, loEres. D This character, when alone, represents 7>, when the word begins a sentence. d The small d, when alone, likewise denotes de; and in ac¬ counts it represents one of tlie cases ol denariius.

It also denotes os or ost in the preposition post; thus, p^ or p^t. 5 The usual function of this abbreviation is that of denoting the us final of datives; as, trib3, tribus; omniby, omnibus; but it likewise represents the final et; as, deb3, debet; hab3, habet: and sometimes stands for a general termina¬ tion ; as, quil3, quilibet; scil3, scilicet. For the last pur¬ pose it is still in ordinary use, but under a disguised form; as VIZ. for viy. Xpc Latin names derived from the Greek are usually printed with the Roman letters which most nearly resemble in their form those of the original language: thus X stands for the Greek chi (X), p for the rho (P), and c for the sigma ( 2 ). Xpc consequently represent the word “Christus”: by sub¬ stituting the required letter for the c, we shall have the various cases of the noun ; as, Xpi, Xpo; Christi, Christo, &c. The cross is met with in some records and charters, and in such cases generally precedes the subscription of his name by a bishop. It is not used as a word, but appa¬ rently as a compendious profession of faith, or else as a silent invocation of the Divine aid. This was also the sign by which persons who could not write were accus¬ tomed to attest instruments, their names being added by those who could. An imitation of this mark is still in use his among uneducated persons; as, ‘‘John Thomas,” mark.

The necessity of printing records in the most literal mannei havincr been for a long time generally admitted, Editors have Len constrained to invent characters by which to denote erasuies, cancellations, interlineations, and other peculiarities which occu upon the face of them. These characters, though strictly edit rial are nevertheless deserving of notice here. Cancelhlions, using the ternt in a coutFehensiva sense, are denoted by Sir F. I'algrave, in Ins » Parhantentary W. it^ by placing an upright trefoil {trejie — lhe c u o French playing-cards) at the commencement ot the elide passage, the conclusion of which he indicates by a re\eise trefoil: thus, T. l\ ap ♦apd^ Westiii.

This kistoriette, which was written by the monarch’s namesake, Richard of Devizes, and which aboiinds in very interesting particulars, was lately, for the first time, given to the public in a printed form by the “ English Historical Societyto their publication we are indebted for our text. The reader, having carefully studied the preceding symbols, may now proceed to an examination of the language of this story. This, which has been purposely contracted with every species of abbreviations com¬ mon to the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, he will proceed to extend into full words, verifying his performance, when completed, by comparing it with what immediately follows, which he will find to be the same narrative in an uncontracted form. Having acquired some degree of facility in extending the contracted forms, he may then advantageously reverse the process, and proceed to a reduction of words at length to a contracted state. A little practice will soon enable him to apply his newly acquired knowledge in the eluci¬ dation of whatever form of record or of ancient document may come before him. This acquirement he may find extremely useful, and he may possibly thence derive a certain degree of distinction; since this has to the present time been a branch of knowledge entirely confined to a small portion of the learned, and to the few typographical readers whose employments have more immediately required its cultivation. A translation is added, followed by a few explanatory notes. In conformity with a practice which has hitherto much obtained in Record printing, c has been substituted for t in the terminations tio and tia: this usage, the propriety of which has been questioned, has been here followed, in order that the student’s ej^e may be accustomed to its recurrence elsewhere. The diphthongs and ce have been also for the same reason represented by the simple e. Story of a Boy killed by the Jews of Winchester.

RECORDS. 687 “ That city is the Jerusalem of the Jews in those parts; within her precincts alone do they enjoy perpetual peace; she is the school of those who wish to live well and to thrive. There men are produced ; there thou mayst have a sufficiency of bread and wine for nothing. In that place there are monks of such mercy and meekness, a clergy so wise and tolerant, citizens of such probity and so regardful of their fellows’ rights, women so beau¬ tiful and modest, that little withholds me from going thither, and, among such Chris¬ tians, myself becoming a Christian. To that city do I direct thee, the city of cities, the mother of all and better than all. There is one vice, and only one, in which she is accustomed to over-indulge. Asking pardon of the men of letters and the Jews, I must say (that thou mayst be upon thy guard) that the Winchester people are addicted to lying, yet only in inventing idle tales; for in no place under heaven, as there, are so many false reports fabricated with so much facility ; in all other matters they are perfectly veracious. I had yet much to tell thee of my own affairs; but lest thou shouldst not comprehend all, or shouldst forget, thou wilt place this small letter in the hands of a Jewish friend, as I feel confident that thou wilt one day be rewarded by him.” This was a brief note written in Hebrew. The Jew had finished his oration; and the lad, putting the best construction upon everything, arrived at Winchester. His awl provided food enough for his companion and himself; and the cruel kindness and stuttering civility so evilly obtained him by the Jew’s letter procured him comforts. Wherever these poor creatures might work separately in the day, or take their meals, they each night rested on a little bed in the ancient cottage of an aged woman. Day succeeds day, month month, and the last hours of this our youth, whom we have thus far so curiously traced, hasten, by their very escape, their arrival. The day of the Adoration of the Cross 5 had arrived ; and the boy, working upon that day at his master the Jew’s, in whatever manner he was made away with, disappeared. Now the next day was the Passover, the great festival of the Jews. His companion, wondering at hia absence, as he did not return in the evening to his bed, is terrified that night by many hideous dreams. Having for several days sought him in every corner of the city without finding him, he at once asked the Jew if he had sent the lad, who was his means of support, anywhere; whom when he perceived to become, contrary to his wont, from the particularly mild man of yesterday, outrageously bitter,—noticing this change in his language and his countenance, he immediately took fire, and as he had a piercing voice, and was gifted with a wonderful flow of words, he instantly broke out into reproaches, with loud outcries charging him with making away with his friend. “ Thou offspring of a filthy harlot!’’ he exclaims, “ thou thief! thou traitor ! thou devil! thou hast cruci¬ fied my companion ! Woe is me I why have I not yet the strength of a man ! I could tear thee in pieces with my hands.” The cries of the boy vociferating within the house are heard in the public street; from all sides Jews and Christians hastily assemble. The boy presses; and, now become more confident from the presence of the crowd, he began, having gained their attention, to plead the cause of his companion. “ O men,” he says, “ who have here assembled, see if there be grief like my grief. This Jew is a devil; he hath torn my heart from within my breast; he hath murdered my only com¬ panion, I even think he hath devoured him. A son of the Evil One, a certain Jew,— whether he be French-born I neither understand nor know,—but that Jew gave to my friend a letter, which was the warrant for his death, directed to this man. Thus induced,—yea, seduced,—he came to this city. He was often engaged in the service of this Jew, and in his house was he last seen.” The boy was not without a witness to some portion of his tale; inasmuch as there was a Christian woman, who, contrary to the Canons, had nursed the Jewish children in the same house. She swore positively that she had seen the lad go down into the Jew’s store-room, but never return. The Jew denies it; the matter is referred to the Judges. The accusers fail; the boy because he was under age, the woman because her ministry to the Jews had rendered her infamous. The Jew offered a purgation 6 of his conscience with respect to the infamy. Gold was acceptable to the judges : Phinees gave it and appeased them, and the stir ceased. * Some of these worthless characters are mentioned in the lines of Horace: “ Ambubaiarum collegia, pharinacopols, Mendici, mimi, balatrones.”— Sat. lib. i. 2. Others are to be found in Juvenal. 2 The atrocious massacre above referred to, is related in the following impious and inhuman terms:—“ On that same day of the coronation, about the solemn hour in which the Son was immolated to the Father, they began in the city of London to sacrifice the Jews to their father the devil ; and so long was the duration of this famous mystery, that the holocaust could scarcely be completed on the second day. Other cities and towns in the country emulated the faith of the Londoners, and with equal devotion dispatched their bloodsuckers in their blood to the infernal regions. Somewhat, but 688 RECORDS. not to such an extent, was at that time enacted against those children of perdition not to . j, ti„„dom : Winchester alone spared her vermin,—a people everywhere hroughout the U respecting her citizens’ rights.”- prudent and sollemnitatis lioram qua Filius imniolahatur Patri, • ^“tm'e r in ci ta e SonLe immolare Judanis patri suo diabolo; tantaque fuit inctep urn es in civita^^V die compleri potuerit holocaustum. -Emu- hujus tc fivitates retrionis et urbes fidem Londoniensium, et pan devotione suos latte sunt “1** ad inferos.

Italick lower case letters are sometimes used, enclosed between paren¬ theses (a), and sometimes figures (1); the letters, when they are used, are often continued through the alphabet, and then commence again with (a). The most usual references, and which are esteemed the neatest, are superiors, both letters and figures ; where the notes are at the foot of the page, letters are most frequently used, sometimes going through the alphabet, and sometimes commencing with ^ in each page in which notes occur: where the notes are placed at the end of the volume, figures ^ ^ are nearly always adopted, in regular succession. REGISTER. This term implies such an arrangement of the whites in both forms of a sheet, as that, when printed off, the pages shall fall pre¬ cisely at the back of each other, so that the sides and heads of the pages of one form shall not project beyond those of the other ; in fine work the principle is carried still further, and the whites in the pages are so arranged that line shall fall upon line, when the reiteration is worked. See Gauge. Space Lines. REGISTER SHEET. The sheet or sheets printed to make register with.— M'. When works are printed on fine and expensive paper, register is usually made with proof paper; and it is not till the form is com¬ pletely made ready that they use its own paper. REGLET. Is a sort of furniture of an equal thickness all its length. It is quadrat high, of several thicknesses, viz. Nonpareil, Brevier, Long Primer, Pica, &c. thick. — M. Reglet and all other furniture, except side and foot sticks, are made in lengths of three feet each, and are always styled a yard of reglet, a yard of broad, «&c.; the use of reglet is to branch out titles, jobs, and other matter, to economise the use of quadrats: it is preferable to quadrats for this purpose, it keeping the lines more even; for different founts of the same size being often mixed, and the quadrats frequently battered, are not so true as a piece of reglet, which I would always have put next to a line of capitals ; it is also used in making margin. The thinnest reglet used is called card reglet, a substitute for scale- board ; the regular sizes commence with Pearl and go up to Two Lines Great Primer, with the exception of Ruby, Minion, Bourgeois, Small Pica, English, Paragon, and Two Lines Pica, which are sizes not used. REITERATION. The second form, or the form printed on the backside of the white paper.— If. This is a term generally used for press work ; Avhen the second form is working, that is, perfecting the sheet, the pressmen say they are working the reiteration. Reviews. See Neiospaper Postage. REVISE. An impression of each form printed on proof paper the first thing after it is laid on, and taken by the pressman to the reader or overseer, for him to examine that all the corrections in the press proof are made, previously to the impression being worked off. The com¬ positor frequently takes the revise for waste paper; but this should never be done with that of the first form ; the pressman should put it into the heap, so that it may be readily found, which keeps it damp, and the revise of the second form ought always to be pulled on it; the reader, in revising the second form, then sees the sheet perfect, which is necessary to ascertain that the matter follows, and that the furniture is right. RIBS. In wooden presses, long pieces of steel, polished on the upper surface, which is a little rounded, on which the carriage traverses in 702 RISERS. being run in and run out; they are fastened down upon lone pieces of wood, which are called Wooden Ribs. Leads are said to ride, when one end projects over another; this will occasionally take place when two or more are used in the same measure. It ought to be guarded against, as, when it happens, it pre¬ vents the page rising, or it by tightening the quoins the form is made to rise, It causes the lines to be crooked. I'ORM. Laying up the form, and washing the lye and ink away to make the letter clean.—J/. This is alwavs done bv the pressman as soon as a form is off; he takes it to the lye trough, and brushes the ink from off the face of the letter, the furniture, and chase, with the lye brush and lye; he then lifts it out of the trough and sets it on its edge, resting against the side of the trough or against some other sup- I)ort, and rinses it well with water, to wash away the lye and the ink it has dissolved, and thus leaves the face of the letter, the furniture, and the chase clean, ready tor the compositor to lay up preparatory to distributing. — See Lay up. RINSING I ROUGH. The trough forms are rinsed in. — .1/. It IS two troughs combined in one; the smallest and deepest is for the water, and in some offices has an iron ladle chained to the near ujiper corner, to prevent its being displaced; the shallow part is used to lay uj) forms in ; they are both linetl with lead, ami the shallow one has a loose deal bottom to preserve the lead, and in general is bound with iron, particularly at the front, to prevent the edge of a chase, when being lifted upon the letter board, from cutting the lead; they both have an opening with a short pijie at the bottom to convey away the u’ater; that in the water trough having a brass plug in it, for the convenience of letting the water off to clean it out. Tliey stand on a frame, which is usually [ilaceil in a platform raised at the wlges a few inclu's, lined with lead, styled the sink, with a loose bottom of boards, which leads into a jiipe Ibr drainage. RISE. A form is said to rise, when in rearing it off the correcting stone no letter or furniture, Arc. stay behind. — . 1 /. When every thing is properly justified, and the form properly quoined and locked up, so that nothing falls out in lifting it up. RISERS. • The material upon which stereotype plates are fixed, in order to be printed. These risers are sometimes made of wood, with the plates screwed, or otherwise fastened upon them ; sometimes of brass, bell metal, gun metal, or type metal; and occasionally of gypsum, or Roman cement: RISERS, 703 but, of whatever substance they may be formed, the riser and the plate together should be of the same height as types. Mr. James Fergusson took out a patent for risers made of elastic sub¬ stances, of which he published the following description, or specification : — “ Now know ye, that I the said James Fergusson, in compliance with the said Proviso, do hereby declare, that the nature of my said Inven¬ tion, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are par¬ ticularly described and ascertained by the following explanation thereof, that is to say: In the process of printing from Stereotype Plates, the plates are put upon, and fastened to, certain materials or apparatus, called by different names, such as blocks, matrix-plates, risers, &c., which are made either of iron, brass, type-metal, bell-metal, Roman cement, gyp¬ sum, wood of various kinds, or some other suitable substance; or, with¬ out using any such materials or apparatus, the plates are, or may be, put upon, and fastened to, the coffins or tables of such printing presses as are in general use, or upon cylindrical or any other sort of printing machines. In all cases, however, of printing from Stereotype Plates, it is necessary to apply some remedy to the unequal thickness of the plates; and the operation usually adopted is that of putting layers or pieces of paper, or other material, under the thinner places of the plates, or over the same, upon the tympan, which operation is technically termed under¬ laying and overlaying. Now, the nature or object of my Invention is that of saving the time and expence unavoidably sacrificed in the opera¬ tion of underlaying and overlaying ; and this object I accomplish by putting elastic substances under the Stereotype Plates, whereby the printed impressions from them are immediately equalized wholly or in part; for the elastic substances yield to the pressure upon the thicker parts of the plates, and at the same time afford the necessary resistance for obtaining sufficient strength of impressions from the thinner parts. It must be evident, that the elastic substances are to be interposed be¬ tween the Stereotype Plates and whatever solid or firm substance may be made use of, whether blocks, matrix-plates, risers, cylinders, printing presses, printing machines, or any other apparatus v/hatsoever. So far as I have made experiments and trials of different elastic substances, I have hitherto found Cork to be the best calculated for the purposes of my Invention; but, in virtue of the Letters Patent granted unto me, I claim the exclusive right and privilege of applying Cork, and any other elastic substance, to all kinds of printing apparatus and machines, with the view of remedying the inequalities in the thickness of Stereotype Plates; and I also claim the sole right and privilege of manufacturing the elastic articles requisite for the attainment of this object, of vending such articles, and of granting Licenses for the use of the same. In fur¬ ther explanation of the manner in which my Invention is to be performed, it may be proper to state, that the Cork is prepared by cutting, sawing, rasping, and filing; and by these means it is wrought to such a uniform thickness as is required. I consider a quarter of an inch as a proper thickness, but a lesser or a greater may be adopted. If, when a deter¬ minate thickness has been fixed upon, the Cork is to be applied to some apparatus now in use, that apparatus should of course be diminished as much as is the thickness of the Cork, in order that the same height to paper may be preserved. The layers or beds of Cork may be formed either of single pieces, cut to the respective sizes of pages, or made up by several slips, whereby they may be adjusted to various widths and lengths. Whether the Cork be laid loose upon the blocks, &c., or be at¬ tached by soft pitch, shoemakers’ wax, or other adhesive substance, is 704 RISERS. unimportant; but I prefer attaching it, so as to keep it in its place. Although my Invention essentially consists in discovering the applica¬ bility of Elastic Substances for the purpose of remedying inequalities in the thickness of Stereotype Plates, yet, in this Specification, I have necessarily given rny explanations by particularising Cork, that being the material uhich I now manufacture and prefer. How to adapt any other elastic substance, which may answer the purpose equally well as Cork, cannot be a matter of doubt or difficulty to any person practically acquainted with apparatus used in Stereotype Press-work.-In witness whereof, &c.” Mr. T. C. Hansard took out a patent for improvements on, and ad¬ ditions to. Printing Presses, and various processes relative to Printing; these improvements included “Stereotype-Plate Risers, with Holdfasts or Claws,” of which Mr. Hansard published tlie following description : — “ The Risers are made of Type Metal, or with any other metal or substance, cast in a Type-founder’s mould, having somewhat the form of what are called Quotations. I take the usual standard for Printer’s ad¬ measurement, and cast them quadrilateral to four Pica m’s ; then longer ones as parallelograms, four by eight, four by twelve, four by sixteen, and smaller ones, lour by two, four by one, and four by a half; in height they are about three-fourths of an inch, or sufficient to raise the Plate to the usual height, or somewhat higher than common Type ; these being cast and dressed perfectly true, in body and height, may be easily combined to form the size of any page necessary, with the certainty of having a uniform plain surface for all the plates, however numerous ; they are cast as hollow cubes, the larger combinations having divisions to give sutiicient support to every square against any pressure which can be brought upon them. “'I'he Holdfasts or Claws are formed of Brass or other har1 en.

Ruthven’s patent press differs materially from all others. Instead'of the form of types being rolled under the platen, and back again when the impression has been made, the type form remains stationary upon the iron table, the platen is drawn over it, and the impression is obtained by means of a lever working ver¬ tically like the handle of a pump, and acting by connecting levers upon both sides of the platen, so as to draw it down with ease and effect. It is a good and powerful press, but the head and platen are heavy and require exertion to push them back off the form, and more particularly as the ribs, if the grooves in which the wheels attached to the head and platen travel may be so called, form an inclined plane, which causes the platen to come forward over the form with but little exertion. 720 SAMARITAN. S. SAMARITAN. It is the opinion of many of tlie most eminent Hebrew sciiolars, that this alphabet is the one made use of by the ancient Hebrews, and with which Moses himself wrote tlie Pentateuch ; and that the Hebrew letters at present in use are those of the Chaldees of Babylon, introduced by Ezra in consequence of the Jews having forgotten their own characters during the Captivity. It agrees with the Hebrew and Syriac, in rttspect to the number and power of the letters, though it ditfers as to their forms, as may be seen from the annexed table: i 1 Figure. Name. Power. Number.

In writing the numbers, they follow the Hebrew system of notation, with this exception, that for 15 they use both (10 and 5) with the Syrians, and (9 and 6) with the Jews. The Samaritans are altogether destitute of vowel points, and their power is to be collected from the cognate languages. The quiescents are the same in Samaritan as in Hebrew and Chaldee, namely, four, X, fTf, The situations and the points, by which each becomes quiescent, are the same as in Hebi’ew. The Samaritans use also certain points and lines in writing, partly for the sake of distinction, and partly of abbreviation. The points are as follow;— 1. A thick point placed near the top of the letter distinguishes one word from another, thus and God said. 2. An imperfect sentence is indicated by two transverse points, in this manner, saying — 3. A period or perfect sentence is marked by two perpendicular points, thus, *ZV upon the face of the deep. 4. The beginning of every verse is marked by an asterisk, as, *3(ZA^ 'r -And God said. 5. In long paragraphs a third point is added to the period, thus, and in order to point off sections various lines are made use of, as, -c;, —-J, in which much is left to fancy. A line drawn above a letter denotes: — 1. That words with two meanings i^ust not be received in their more general signification, as, bedebher, in pestilence, not '^ 3‘^3 bedabhaf, in a word; Sem, for a proper name, not an appellative; Zji- El,, for the name of God, and not the preposition. 2. Apocope, or elision of a letter, as, aA- for atta, thou; for and he looked back. 3. The mark of a quiescent letter, as, he placed. 4. The substitution of one letter for another, as, for his name.

The term SansJirita seems to have been given to the language so called by way of pre-eminence, and to dis¬ tinguish it from the vulgar dialects called Prakrita. The former is an epithet implying elegance and perfection, and the latter the contrary. Several of the provinces of India have alphabets distinct from each other, in which they not only write their particular dialects, but even Sanskrita. Indeed most of the alphabets, properly Indian, agree in the number, order, and power of their letters, with the Peoa-ndffuri, the one here used, because it is that in which Sanskrita is most commonly written, and which is the most elegant and approved. All languages of the Hindu class are read from left to right. THi; ALPIIAUET.

In speaking of the letters individually, it is the practice to use the term kurah (make, form) after each of their names as here exhibited : thus the vowel ^ a, is called a-ka- rak ; and the consonant ^ ka, ka-kdrak. OF THE VOWELS. The simple vowels are reckoned five; for which there are ten characters : 3r a, ^ i, u, ^ ri, ^ Iri, to denote the short sounds ; and I a, ^ 7, ^ ^ rj, ^ Irl, their corresponding long sounds, which are directed to be held twice the time of the short. Most of the vowels, occasionally, assume a very different shape SANSKRITA. 723 from that exhibited in the alphabet, which the following arrange¬ ment may serve to explain. As Initials. As Medials and Finals, T r t . . = . ^ <5 " "t 1 Initials, Medials, and Finals, in composition with a Consonant, aka, aka, iki, ikt, uku, uku, rikri, rlkrl, pjf 1:^ Iriklri, Iriklrl, eke, aikai, oko, aukau. In this manner the vowels may be combined with any other consonant. As the letters have the same powers in composition which are given to them in the alphabet, and do not, as in our language, change their sound with their situation, a few observations on the pronunciation of each character in due order, may enable a person to read with tolerable accuracy and ease. 3r«, the first letter in the alphabet, has that obscure short sound which the French give to e, in the particle le, and which is very common in our language, though there be no distinct cha¬ racter for it; as in the words money, honey, and some others, where it is represented by o ; and in hut, shut, and the like, where u is the substitute. The letter never makes its appearance but as an initial; for when the sound of it is required after a con¬ sonant, as a medial or final, it is pronounced with it as in the alphabet; it being an invariable rule, that every open consonant, not followed by another vowel, must be pronounced as if ^ a were written after it. 3rT a should have the same sound as is given to the former, held twice the length. It occurs, as a medial, in the word hdla. Time, the first syllable of which is pronounced nearly like the English word call. As a medial and final its character is T. ^ i, and ^ 1, are two characters to note the sound which the Italians give to the vowel i. The former is to be pronounced 724 SANSKRITA. short, like ee in meet (encounter), and the latter long, like the same letters in meet (fit). After a consonant, as a medial and final, as has been already observed, they are changed to f^nd T, which are placed as in the words JTf&T: manih, A jewel, and devJ, A goddess. "5 V, and ^ u, are to be articulated like oo in the English words foot, and fool. After a consonant they are usually sub¬ joined ; as in putruh, A son, and bhuh, The earth; but occasionally, particularly after ^ r, on the side, thus ^ ru, ^ TU. ^ ri, and ^ fi. The first of these sounds short, somewhat like ri in rit; and the second is the same held twice as long. ^ ri short occurs in rita, Eigt't, True. The other is very rarely used, except it be in the oblique cases of some nouns. In our characters a dot under the r may serve to distinguish them from the syllables 1T ri and r7. As medials or finals they are always placed under their consonants, in this form, ^ nri, ^ nfi. ^ Iri, and ^ fr~i. The short power is found in the word hfripta, which the learned of Bengal soften into kjipta, and which, probably, is the true pronunciation of it. The long form seldom, if ever, occurs but in grammars. Here too a dot under the / will serve as a distinction, when we would explain them. ^ e, though classed among diphthongs, differs not from the simple sound of e in inhere; and so it is pronounced in (livnh, A god. It is said to be a compound of a and ^ i. •s ^ ni is a diphthong, and is always sounded as the letter i in our alphabet; but it will be better to represent it by ai. There is an example of it in the word raih, Wealth. 3ft 0 differs not from our o held long, as in stone; though it is said to be a diphthong composed of 3f a and 3 u. 3fT au is decidedly a diphthong, having the power of ow in the word hole; which in these letters would be written thus, ^ hau. Here properly end the vowels, for * am, and I ah, are, cor¬ rectly speaking, rather substitutes for the nasals, and ^ ha, when SANSKRITA. 725 silent, at the end of a syllable. They are called anuswarah, and I visargah. The one occurs in the pro- _ ♦ ♦ _ nouns aham, I, and twam, Thou, and the other in sah, He. OF THE CONSONANTS. The first five-and-twenty consonants are distributed into five r classes, in the plural number called vargdh; in speaking of which, they are named after the first letter of each class : the first class being called ♦ ha-vargah, the class of ^ ha ; the r second cha-vargah, the class of ^ cha ; and so for the rest. Some grammarians use the first letter of each class com¬ bined with 3, to denote all the letters in each class respectively, as, ^ Aw, for the first; ^ c/m, for the second ; ^ tu, for the third ; ^ tu, for the fourth ; and ^ pu, for the fifth class. The First Class, or Gutturals, ha has the precise sound of hard c, but is better expressed by h, the power of which not being liable to change. ^ hha has the same sound uttered with greater force, as if combined with the letter ^ ha. Ignorant transcribers are very apt to confound it with the letter ^ sha. ga is the hard g, as sounded in gun. ^ gha is the same aspirated* nga is equivalent to ng in hing. Generally speaking, every other nasal is resolved into this, before any letter of this class ; or, at least, to be pronounced like it. In Deva-nagari manuscripts, it is, when silent, for the most part represented by the single dot anuswdra. The Second Class, or Palatals, ^ 3T ^ ^ cha has the exact power we express by ch, as in church. ^ ch'ha is the former aspirated. 3T ja has the power of g soft, as in Giles ; but will be more certainly expressed by as in James, gha is the aspirate of the former. ^ fia. This is the proper nasal of this class, which in com¬ position is sounded rather softer than 3- ^5’^’ seems to be formed by pressing the whole breadth of the tongue into the hoi- 723 SAXSKRITA. low of the palate, the tip turned downwards, and forcing the sound through the nose, with the mouth open. It is chiefly used before letters of its own class; but in Deva-nagari manuscripts, as is the case with the other nasals, it is generally expressed by [*] anvswarah. It seldom appears with another consonant imme¬ diately before, or a vowel after it: indeed there are but few in¬ stances of it, (except in grammatical compositions,) one of which is in the root jna, signifying know, and its derivatives, where the character ^ is said to be a compound of 3T ja and ^ the just articulation of which is found so diflicult, and the sound so harsh, that it is frequently softened intog^a, as if written T . As the sound of before another consonant approaches nearer to that of Ji than any other letter, it may be represented by it, with a mark over it, thus, ti. The Third Class, or Cerebrals, ^ ^ ^ This series of consonants is pronounced by turning and apply¬ ing the tip of the tongue far back against the palate; w hich pro¬ ducing a hollow sound, as if proceeding from the head, it is dis- r_ tinguishnd by the term tnUrddhanya, which Mr. Ilalhed, in his Grammar of the Bengal Language, has translated cerebral. 3 the same aspirated. fIT na is distinguished from the common n by the manner of producing it, as above. In our letters those of this class may be conveniently expressed by a dot under f, d, n. The Fourth Class, or Dentals, tT ^ V ^. rf ta is the common dental t. tha is the former aspirated. ^ da has the power of our d. y dha is the aspirate of ^ da. ^ na is the common n. It is sometimes, like the other nasals, represented by anitsicdra [I]. SANSKRITA. 727 The Fifth Class, or Labials, ^ QT W ^ cr corresponds with p. ^ pha is the former aspirated. In writing foreign words with these characters, this letter is used for the sound oif. ^ ba. This letter is very often confounded with ^ va. Its power is that of b. ^ bha is the aspirate of ^ ba. 5T ma is m. When silent it is often expressed by [‘] anus- wara ; as in samvat, A year, an mra. The Semi- Vowels, ^ ^ ^ . 5^" ya. This letter, which is a palatal, like our y (jvith which it corresponds.), is often put in the place of ^ i and ^ J. Its proper power is that of y in yarn; but in Bengal they generally pronounce it as we doj, confounding it with ^ja. ra is our r. It is esteemed a cerebral. In composition it frequently assumes two other forms. In the middle of a word, immediately preceding another consonant, it is mounted upon its head in this shape [^], when it is optional in the writer to double r the letter with which it so coalesces : -as in the word hdryya. An affair, which is pronounced hdrya. After a consonant it is always subjoined in this shape as in the word prahdra, A sort or manner. This letter, in grammars, is generally •s called repha. la answers to our Z. It is ranked among dentals. ^ va is generally pronounced like v, and is then a dento-labial; but when subjoined to another consonant, it is often necessarily articulated as our %v, it being then frequently the natural substitute - 3 - • for ^ u before another vowel; as ^ ] dwau, Two. The Sibilants and Aspirate, ST ^ ^. ^ sa. The proper sound of this letter is produced by applying the tip of the tongue to the fore-part of the palate, and passing the voice as in pronouncing our s, from which it may be distinguished by a dot under it, thus, s. It is a palatal. sha is generallj’’ pronounced as sh in shoe ; but in the western parts of India it is frequently articulated like, and confounded with ^ kha. It is a cerebral. 728 SANSKRIT A. ^ sa has precisely the power of s in Sahif, and is esteemed a dental. ^ ha is h. At the end of a word, when silent, it is represented by [I] visarga. It is classed among gutturals. This properly is the last letter in the alphabet, ^ ksha, as before observed, being a compound character. There is another letter, not usually given in the Deva-nagar alphabet, in this form, which seems to have a power similar to that of the surd, or Welsh ll. It occurs in the Vedas, and is included in some of the provincial alphabets. OF COMPOUND CONSONANTS. The sound of ^ a, it has been already mentioned, is given to every open consonant, not followed by another vowel; but as it must often happen that a word ends with a consonant, or that two or more consonants meet together without a vowel between them, it is proper the learner should know what is done in these two cases. If a word terminates in a consonant, the vowel is cut off by a small mark of elision, such as is seen under ^ ka in the word ra/d, Speech, which written without it, thus, ^T'^1, would be pronounced vuka- If I'vo or more consonants meet to¬ gether, it is a general rule that they coalesce, and form a com- |)ound character. Sometimes it so happens that the simple letters are not to be traced in the compound, instances of which occur in ^ hsha, and which are composed of ^ and and 3T and ; but, in general, the shapes of the letters are so little altered, that they may be easily discriminated. There are several modes of forming these compounds : sometimes it is found con¬ venient to put one letter under the other, and at others to blend them together, thus, ^ ; but the most usual way is to place them in their natural order, yet so that their bodies, as well as heads, may be in contact, omitting the final upright stroke of every letter —r ii' * that has one, except the last. In the word kartsnyam, Wholeness, there is a coalition of no less than five consonants ; namely, and ^; ra, in a new shape, is mounted upon the head, and ^ tn, Hso, and ^ na, deprived of their up- ritrht strokes, thus, ^ ^ are connected, and finally united to ^ ya. A little practice will render this subject familiar to the learner. SANSKRITA. 729 OF EXTRANEOUS CHARACTERS. One stroke, thus , or two, thus ti, serve to divide hemistichs and distichs. A sort of sigma, in this shape, ■*■, is frequently used as an apostrophe, to show that a vowel has been dropped by rule. A character like a crescent, with a dot between its horns, thus, ^, is occasionally put over a consonant, which by the rules of orthography has been substituted for a nasal. In the Veda other diacritical marks are used, which do not occur in common books. A small perpendicular line over a / vowel, thus denotes that it is to be pronounced high ; a pa¬ rallel line drawn under a vowel, thus denotes that it should be pronounced low ; and a curved line over a vowel, thus indicates that it must be pronounced in a manner to partake of both the former. The intention of these three marks seems to be the same as what was originally designed by the acute, the grave, and the circumflex accents. A figure of three is sometimes put after a vowel, thus ^^ , or three lines over it, thus ^, to show that it is to be held longer than usual, as in calling, or crying. Two dots, thus J, called visarga are used to denote a final ^ . They are occasionally represented in this manner [J^]. ♦ A single dot over a letter, thus is called anuswdrah (3rgfq-K:) , and denotes a final nasal. The numerical figures are, ^ ^ ^ M $^3 t e 0. 123456789 0. In the Vedas, the character for * anuswdra, before and ^, is in this form, ; so for t is written • A Grammar of the Sanskrita Language, by Charles Wilkins, LL.D. F.R.S. Uo. 1808.

SAXON. 731 In studying the Anglo-Saxon tongue, it is of great consequence to re¬ mark, that the inevitable changes introduced by the lapse of time through successive ages; the existence of the three great dialects, and their fre¬ quent intermixture; the variety of Anglo-Saxon writers, and their little acquaintance with each other; but, above all, their total disregard of any settled rules of orthography; have oceasioned many irregularities in the language, and thrown difficulties in the way of the learner, which at first sight appear truly formidable ; but, on closer inspection, these difficulties present no insuperable obstacle. The principal difficulty consists in this : The Anglo-Saxon writers often confounded some letters, and used them indiflFerently for each other. This is the case to a most surprising extent with the vowels and diph¬ thongs ; so that the consonants, though often treated in the same manner, form the only part of the language which possesses any thing like a fixed and permanent character. Remarks on the Change of the Consonants required for derivation and declension. B. B, F, or U, are often interchanged; as Bebep, bepop, a heaver. Ipi^, luej ivy. Obep, opeji, ouep, over. Gbolpan, epolpan to blaspheme. Foe, uoc afoot. C. C often interchanges with G, K and Q; as Doncep, ponjep thoughts. Ey6, kyb hindred. Eyning, kyning a king. Acep, Akep a field. Epen, quen, a queen, wife, i^c. C and CC are also often changed into H, or Hh, before p or S, and especially before e ; as Sepehcon they strewed, for pcpeccon, from pcpeccan. Ahpian for acpian or axian to ash. peh8 for pec6 seeks, from pecan to seek. In Dan. Sax. C changes into j, h, hp and k; and ch changes into h. D. D and T are often used indiscriminately for each other, and D is changed into b, especially in verbs; as peoSan to boil or seeth ; poben boiled, ic epaeb I said ; ]m epaefce thou saidst. he pyp8 he is or becomes ; pu pujxbe thou becomest. F. In Dan. Sax. F changes into b and p. G. G is often changed into h and p; as pepecoha for hepetoga a leader; Dahum for bajum with days; Geppigan to be silent; jepupobe he teas silent or dumb ; poph for pojige sorrow. G interchanges Avith I and Y, when I has a sort of a consonant sound; as jeo, leo or wx yore, formerly ; geojub, leojuS youth; jeoc, loc or luc yoke. G is often suppressed before n, or gn lengthened into gen ; as pypigne, pypine from pypp or pip this, and aenigne, aenine, from aenig any. G is often added to words that end Avith i, as hig for hi they ; and on the con¬ trary G is often omitted in those Avords which end in ig; as bfii for bpig or bpyg, dry. In Dan. Sax. G is sometimes dropped, or changed into C, H, or K ; and GS into X. 732 SAXON. H. P is sometimes changed into 5 ; as ])aj for jjah he grew or throve, from ]>ean to grow. In Dan. Sax. p is sometimes added to words, and sometimes dropped^ or it is changed into c, 3 , ch, or k; and pu into p. K. The Saxons originally expressed the sound of the modern K by C. As C also stood for a soft sound, it was difficult to know when it was to be sounded hard, and when soft. To remove this difficultj', the Danes and Normans introduced the letter K to denote the hard sound of C- L. L and N are often written double or single without any distinction at the end of monosyllables; but this reduplication ceases when words are lengthened, so tliat a consonant follows; as pell or pel well; ealle or al rt//(omnis); ealne, «//(omnem); also ic pylle, jui pylpc, he pylS, I sell, thou, &c. In Dan. Sax. L is sometimes put for K. M and N. In Dan. Sax. these two letters are sometimes interchangeable; and N is occasionally dropped. 1 *. The .Saxon p and p are easily mistaken for each other, botli in MSS. and on coins ; and even in printed books great care is sometimes neces¬ sary to distinguisli these letters. In Dan. Sax. P clianges occasionally into B and U. Q. Q is not an original Saxon letter, and very seldom occurs in MSS.; Cw and Cu were commoidy employed where Q is now used. U. U in Dan. Sax. is occasionally added to words, and is sometimes changed into L. S. S and Z arc merely variations of the same original letter. The Z is only the S hard. In Dan. Sax. Ss, D, or X are sometimes substituted for .S. 'r. T in Dan. Sax. occasionally changes in 1) and D. \V. In Dan. Sax. W changes into V and Ui; We into oe, u, ue ; Wi, into u, uu ; Wa, into uise, pm; Wr, into war; and Wu, into u. X. X is sometimes supplied by cp ; as neojicpen for neopxen quiet. In Dan. Sax. X interchanges with S. Z. Z is only the S hard. See S. JRi'uiarhs on the ^'owels find Diphthongs. If the consonants,—those natural sinews of words and language,— suffer such changes, it may safely be presumed, that those flexible and yielding symbols, the vowels, would be exposed to still greater confusion ; a confusion almost sufficient to induce one to imagine that they are of no weight or authority, in .Vnglo-Saxon orthography. SAXON. 733 A. A kind of Italic a is much used in Anglo-Saxon MSS. Where we now use A or E, the diphthongs JE, OE, and Ea continually occur in Anglo- Saxon ; but CE more frequently in Dan. Sax. The vowel A and its diphthongs thus interchange. A and O. See under O. A and JE : as ac, aec an oak ; acep, secep a field; habban to have, ic . hsebbe I have; fcan a stone; ftaenen stony; lap doctrine; laepan to teach; an one; any one. JE and EA ; as ae, ea water ; aec, eac eternal. ^ and CE : as aeghpep, ceghpep every where; aeghpdc, oeghpdc every one. S. and Y : as aelc, ylc each one. In Dan. Sax. these occur indifferently:—A, ae, e, ea, o, eo; JE, e, le, ce, 0 , ea, ue. E. E interchanges with 76. It is often added to the end of Anglo-Saxon words where it does not naturally belong, and it is as often rejected where it does. Eo is changed into y and e, and ea into e, but more usually into y. 6 aSe, eSe easily ; and ceajxep, cepcep a castle. Seolf, pelp, pylp self; pyllan, pellan to give, sell, &c. Neah near; nehpc nearest; ealb old; pe ylbpa the elder; pealban to rule, he pelc or pylc he rules; leap loose, lypan to loose; geleapa belief, gelypan to believe. In Dan. Sax. these occur indifferently:—E, a, eo, ce, o, u, ae, ea, jr; ea, eo, i, y; eau, edp; ee, e ; ei, ce, i; eo, a, e, !, jp, u ; eu, yp. I. I is interchanged with e and y; as Iglanb, eglanb, yglanb an island; epel, ypel evil; ijipling, eapphng, yppling a farmer; pen rain, jiinan to rain ; bepnan to burn, bypnan to set on fire ; cpepan to say, pu cpypC, cpipt, thou sayest. In Dan. Sax. these occur indifferently : I, la, lo, eo, y; ice, le, ce; mh, eop. O. O is changed into u, e and y, and eo into y; but sometimes into a, especially before n in a short or terminating syllable. Obe and ob, into abe and ab; bom judgment, beman to judge; ppopep comfort, ppeppian to comfort; pot a foot, pec feet; boc a book, bee books; pcopim a storm, pCypman to storm; golb gold, gylben golden; popb a word, anbpypban to answer; peopc a work, pypeean to work; heopib or hypbe a herd; loc, me a yoke; lepan, lopan to skow; man and mon a man ; lang and long long ; panb and ponb sand. In Dan. Sax. these occur: — O, a, e, i, u ; ce, ae, e, o, ue, pe; oea, eo; ope, uu. U. U is sometimes converted into y: as pepmb clothing, pepyban to clothe ; cup know7i, cypan to make known. In Dan. Sax. these are used indiscriminately: — U, b, p, o, op, pe, pi, pu; ue, ae, ce, pe; ui, p ; uu, ope. Y. The Anglo-Saxon Y is the Greek Y (upsilon), or, as the French call it, y Greque. The y was not dotted in the oldest MSS. 734 SAXON. Y is sometimes changed into u. In Dan. Sax. these occur:—Y into e, ea, i; and Yp into eu. Further Remarks on the Letters. The preceding observations on the consonants and vowels will render the following peculiarities less surprising, and may perhaps explain their causes. The final letters of words are often omitted: as pomb, pom; pmj or. pej, pe. A vowel near, or at the end of a word, is often absorbed by the pre¬ ceding or succeeding consonant, especially if that consonant be a semi¬ vowel; but either that or the nearest vowel is still understood: as Luf|x for lupafc locest; lup 5 for lufa8 loveth ; and other verbs in the 2 d and 3 d persons. Geppi.xl for jepjuxle chauyes; pupl for fiipel sulphur; rpa-fl for rpmpel sulphur ; blopm for blopma a Itlossom ; bopm for bopum bosom; bocl for bode a village, house, Ike. ; bpibl for bpibel a bridle. Contractions of words are common: as N'yrre for ne pipe kneiv not; n’mpbe for ne hmped hud not; y|m ’5 for ypneS runneth. In Dan. Sax., on the other hand, monosyllables are sometimes changed into longer words: as ppaS anger, wrath, lengthened into papafi. Other words contract two syllables into one; as cynin3 into kyny a king. The diH'erent letters suffer a very frequent change of position : as cincejije, cinepeje pain ; pqiba, |'jnbba third. .V very great variety exists in writing the same word by different Anglo-Saxon authors, as will ai)pear from the following examples: jeo^el’e, jeojoS, jeojnS, 3e3o))t*, 1030S, 1113116 youth ; inmneyeo many, a multitude, is written 1110311630, ma'iiiyeo, 111^11130, iniFniyii, iiiaemo, nimniu, niamj^eo, mane3eo, iiiane3ii, 111011136, 111011130, 1110111311, nien63eo, niene3o, 1116116311, nicni360, 111611130, 11160130, 11161110, meiiiii. .Adjectives in tlie coiiiparative degree enil indifferently in ap, mp, ep, ip, o[i, up, or yp ; and the superlative in ape, tepe, epc, ipc, ope, upc, or ypc. .\ctive participles end in anb, anbe, lenb, .xnbe, enb, mb, onb, unb or yiib ; and passive participles in ab, mb, eb, ib, ob, ub, or jb. So also, I’e bielp, dealp, help or balp he dug; and larppeiibe, lmppi3eiibe, ltrp3enbe or Impienbe feeding ; ic puppe, ic peoppe, ic pj'ppe, or ic peppe J east away; man, mon a man ; he 1111656 or 111036 he may; he P13, pi, pie, pe, pio, or peo he is; pmbon, penbon, pienbon, pine, pienc, pintl, pm, pien, peon, arc. Some short words assunic very different meanings: as 1113, bi3c, by3e, 1163, bea3, be.ali and beli, which, according to their connexion, signify in¬ differently. a turning, a crown, a gem, a bosom, buy, he turned, he sub¬ mitted, iic. from bu3an, to turn, bow, i)C .— The Elements of Anglo-Saxon (trammar. liy the Rer.J. Bosworth, M..A. F..A.S., 8ro. 1823 . “ The Saxon capitals which vary from those now used are C, E, G, II, M, and W. The small letters are d, f, g, r, s, t, and w, which arc all Roman, except the ]^ p. and some notes of abbreviations used by tlie Saxons, as D 6, p th, ji that. See. Many other abbreviations were used by the Saxons. These notes of abbreviation are not the original members of an alphabet; they were the result of later reflection, and were intro¬ duced for dispatch. “ By an attentive observation of the different specimens of writing in England, we perceive the several gradations of change, by which one form of a Roman character has imperceptibly changed into another. The Saxon p, says Mr. Whitaker, seems to have been only the Roman V SAXON. 735 at first, and to have been lengthened into the Saxon character, and en¬ larged into the present Roman W, by bringing the principal stroke somewhat lower, and closing the top in the one, and by redoubling the whole in the other. The W is unknown, both to the Latin and its daughter languages, the French, the Spanish, and the Italian : it is com¬ posed of two characters, namely of the V or U doubled. “ The writing which prevailed in England from the coming of St. Augustin, in 596, to the middle of the eleventh century, is generally termed Saxon, and may be divided into five kinds, namely, the Roman Saxon, the set Saxon, the running hand Saxon, the mixed Saxon, and the elegant Saxon.”— Astle. Elegant Saxon. —This writing was adopted in England in the tenth century, and was continued till the Norman conquest; but was not entirely disused till the middle of the thirteenth century. All subsequent Saxon writers endeavour to keep as near as possible to the form of the letters in a book of Saxon Homilies in the Lambeth Library (No. 439), written in the tenth century. There is a beautiful specimen in the MSS. of the Rev. E. Thwaites, M. A. to be found in the Harleian MSS., at the British Museum (No. 1866). It is described in Nichols’s Lit. Anec., vol. iv. p. 140, as “ one of the most lovely spe¬ cimens of modern Saxon writing that can be imagined.” — Bosworth, p. 20. About the year 1567, John Daye, who was patronized by Archbishop Parker, cut the first Saxon types which were used in England. In this year Asserius Menevensis was published by the direction of the arch¬ bishop in these characters ; and in the same year Archbishop ^Ifric’s Paschal Homily; and, in 1571, the Saxon Gt/spels. Daye’s Saxon types far excel in neatness and beauty any which have been since made, not excepting the neat types cast for F. Junius at Dort, which were given by him to the University of Oxford. Astle, p. 224.— Bosworth. “ The Saxon types which were used in printing St. Gregory s Homily, having been burnt in the fire which consumed Mr. Bowyers house and all his printing materials [Jan. 30. 1712-13], Lord Chief Justice Parker was so munificently indulgent, as to be at the expence of cutting a new Saxon type for Mrs. Elstob's Saxon Grammar, from fac similes by Mrs. Elstoh; the punches and matrices of which Mr. Bowyers son presented, by the hands of Edward Rowe-Mores, esq ; to the University of Oxford.

Pemberton Row, Gough Square. December 10. 1838. Sir, I herewith transmit to you an Extract from the Proceed¬ ings which have taken place at a Speciae Meeting of the Committee convened this day for the purpose of “ considering the case of the Re¬ fusal of the Compositors in Mr. Bentley’s Office to work upon his Magazine; and with a view to Conformity of Practice in our several Offices.” " The Committee of Master Printers being informed that claims have been made by Compositors in some Offices for all Wrappers and Advertising Sheets to be set up by such Compositors only as were employed on the Periodicals to which they are attached, it was “ Unanimously Resolved, “ That such claim on the part of the Compositors is an inno¬ vation on the antient and accustomed usages of the Trade, and wholly incompatible with that control which a Master has a right to exercise over the mode of conducting his own business ; and that such claim will in future be resisted by every Member of this Com¬ mittee.” “ It having been stated by Mr. Bentley, that the Compositors in his Office had refused to proceed with his Magazine in consequence of his having acted on the general understanding of the Committee, that the Compositors were not entitled to the Standing Advertisements in Periodicals, It was Resolved, “ That Compositors are not entitled to such Standing Advertise¬ ments, or to any Standing Matter, such claim being also contrary to the antient and established practice of the Trade. “ That the above Resolutions be circulated among the Members of the Association, and that they be strongly recommended to act with the Committee in carrying them into effect.” I am. Sir, Your obedient Servant, W. M‘DOWALL, Hon. Sec. Extract from “ Third Report of the Committee of The Master Printers’ As¬ sociation to the Annual General Meeting, held at Anderton’s Coffee House, July 5. 1839.” “ In adverting to the dispute respecting Wrappers, which originated 744 SCALE OF PRICES. in a case submitted at the Monthly Meeting in December, the Com¬ mittee feel it to be due to the Members of the Association to acknow¬ ledge the ready support which they have on all occasions afforded them. To that firm co-opei’ation on their part, no less than to the reasonable¬ ness of the Deputation appointed by the Compositors to confer with the Committee, may be attributed the very satisfaetory adjustment of a ((uestion which had been a source of serious disagreement in several Offices. “ The following are the Regulations ultimately agreed upon, a copy of which has been sent to each Member of the Association : — “ That the Companionship on a Magazine or Review be entitled to the first or title-j)age of the Wrap])er of such Magazine or Review; but not to the remaining pages of such Wrapper, nor to the Advertising Sheets which may accompany the Magazine or Review. “ That Standing Adveidiseraents or stereo-blocks, if forming a comj)lete page, or, when collected together, making one or more com¬ plete pages, in a Wrapper or Advertising Sheet of a Magazine or Review, shall not be chargeable: the Compositor to charge only for his time in making them up. The remainder of the matter in such Wrapper or Advertising Sheet, including Standing Adver¬ tisements or stereo-blocks not forming a complete page, to be charged by the Compositor, and cast up according to the 8th or 20th Rules of the Scale, as they may respectively apply. But tlie charge of 2s. Cul. as given by Rule 7. is not to be superadded. “ With regard to Standing Matter, the Committee adhere to their Resolution of December 10th, 1838.” Having thus given an aceurate copy of the oflicial scale of 1810, with the alterations and explanations of the miuster printers, to the present time, I shall now add (lie explanation published by the London Union of Com[)ositors, of the ditferent articles of the scale. Article I.] “ In easting up n work, although it be printed in half sheets, it is c.vst up in sheets; in jobs less than a sheet, however, the casting-up is confined to the joh, ni\d the compositor loses or gains the live hundred letters or the threepence (as stated in Art. 1.) ns the case may chance to be. “ 15y the term common matter is understood the usu.al description of Bookwork, and not such matter as .\ppeal Cases, Bills in Parliament, &c. for which peculiar and dis¬ tinct charges are made.— See .■Ip/tcnrlix. Space Lines. —The reason of pearl being always paid the same price (whether leaded with a lead equal to its own body in thickness or without a lead) has often excited surprise: hut this surprise will cease when we learn that in the year 1810, when an advance of one halfpenny on leaded, and three farthings on solid took jdacc, no advance tehiUeeer was made on the price of pearl, which consequently when solid, which it most frequently is, does not have that advance which was granted in 1810; and the com¬ positor in casting it up at 8d. receives only the price which was paid thirty years back. In 1805, the dilTcrence between the price of nonpareil and pearl was seven far¬ things; in 1810, the difference was one penny. Head and White Lines. —'llie head or folio line and the white or direction line arc invari.ably reckoned in the square of the page. Ile.ad lines, when set up in a smaller tyi)c than the body of the work, are charged one shilling per sheet; and if any justifi¬ cation of figures, 5vc. occur, an .allowance is made for extra trouble ; but if the head be in larger type th,an the text, no extra charge can be made. « Ueprints. — Annu.al Reports of societies, with lists of subscrihers, &c. are not reprints. If the copy for a book be print-copy, but derived from various sources, such biHik is an original work, and paid for as manuscript. Works with MS. insertions are paid extra per sheet — not less than Is.,—but if materially altered or much interlined, or consisting of half manuscript and half reprint, are considered as original works and paid for .as if they were all manuscript. Reprinted pamphlets (when mere than one SCALE OF PRICES. 745 sheet) are subject to the reduction above specified. No reduction is made for printed copy introduced into magazines, reviews, &c. “ Diamond. — It is the custom of the trade to pay tenpence per thousand for dia¬ mond, whether leaded or unleaded. “ Ruby. — This description of letter is not common, but it is paid an intermediate price allowed for those bodies between which it is cast; thus, a ruby (which is less than nonpareil and larger than a pearl) is cast up at 75d. leaded or unleaded.” Art. II.] “ This mode of casting up works, which was agreed to in 1796, applies also to jobs, but not to large-letter display broadsides, the charge for which will be found in the Appendix.” Art. III.] “ In the scale of 1805, foreign works in bourgeois and brevier were paid one farthing per thousand extra; but in 1810 one price was established for type from english to brevier inclusive. “ Works in the German language and common type are paid the same as other foreign works ; but if the German character be employed, it is paid as Greek without accents. The same price is also paid for the Irish character.” Art. IV.] “ The words ‘ of every size,’ allude to the dimensions of the page; because formerly (that is, by the scale of 1801) duodecimo and eighteenmo dictionaries were paid one halfpenny per thousand more than those set up in octavo or quarto. “ In framing the above article, it was intended that such gazetteers or dictionaries of the arts and sciences as were attended with any extra trouble beyond usual descriptive matter should be paid the above dictionary price ; and therefore, such gazetteers or dic¬ tionaries as contain many references, italics, contractions, &c. take the advanced price as dictionary matter. “ If the above works are in two columns an extra charge of not less than one shilling per sheet is made for column matter.” Art. V.] “ There is a strange anomaly in this article. It was intended to allow the compositor one farthing per thousand extra for the trouble occasioned by the admixture of italic, the frequent occurrence of single letters and monosyllables in grammars, spel¬ ling books, &c.; but if a compositor be employed on a grammar wholly in a foreign language, it is paid no more for than if it were a foreign work (see Article III.) It should, however, to be consistent, be allowed the halfpenny for foreign, and the farthing for grammar, and be cast up at 6gd. with space lines, and 6|d. without space lines. “ The extra farthing per thousand for this kind of work is not to pay for column matter; but two column matter, in grammars, spelling-books, &c. is charged not less than one shilling per sheet; three and not exceeding four columns are charged one and one half; and above four columns are charged double. “ School Arithmetics, as well as the works above specified, are cast up at the above prices. “If the works specified above be in smaller type than brevier, they take the advance granted for such type in Article I.” “ Art. VI.] “ By the words ‘ cast up at the usual rate,’ is meant works cast up with¬ out their extras; and though this article specifies small sized works in the English language, the principle is applied to foreign works also; and if foreign works amount only to the sums specified, they are entitled to an advance according to the number of thousands they contain as regulated by Art. 3. of the scale. For example, if a foreign folio or 8vo. work, in english type, without space lines, contain 13,000 letters, it would come to 7s. O^d. Now, as the same work in the English language would come to 6s. 6d. and would consequently obtain by this Article an advance of 6d., so the foreign work is entitled to the like advance, and is paid 7s. 6d.; if it were not so, the compositor would not receive anything for the work being in a foreign language.” Art. VII.] “ The mere circumstance of a work being a periodical publication does not entitle it to the charge of 2s. 6d. per sheet. To justify this charge, the text must consist of two bodies, and be cast up to their respective founts. Publications, however, of more than one sized letter must not be cast up as all one body, to avoid the payment of the 2s. 6d. per sheet, but must be charged according to the proportion of type they contain, with the 2s. 6d. allowed by this article for the bodies. “ Reprints of this description of work (if more than a sheet) are cast up at three farthings per thousand less than the current number, but the 2s. 6d. per sheet is charged. No deduction, however, is made for printed copy introduced into the current numbers of these works. “In Reviews, Magazines, &c. where leads are only occasionally used, or when used only in a small portion of the publication, no deduction is made. “ Reviews, Magazines, &c. are entitled to the charge for notes, although such notes are set up in one of the bodies used in the text. “ All matter pulled in galleys or slips is made up at the expense of the employer.” 746 SCALE OF PRICES. “ Art. VIII.] “ Parts of works done in different houses, when unequal in their nature, are cast up according to the respective merits of the different parts; and if a sheet, or less than a sheet, it is considered a job, and cast up at the price specified in Art. XX. of the scale. “ The expression ‘ nearly made up' is indefinite; but in works where two-thirds of the matter are made up, one shilling per sheet is charged upon the whole. “ In works of two or more volumes, when the letter of the first volume is all made up, and used for the second, no charge can be made for making up letter.” Art. IX.] “ This article docs nut apply to half sheets or sheets of double foolscap, double demy, &c. imposed as sixteens, as these are cast up and take the extras as octavo. Sixty-fours and forty-eights, in whatever type, are paid 2s. fid. the former, and 2s. the latter, per sheet, extra” Art. X.] “ This article allows the employer to give the alteration cither to the press¬ man or to the compositor; but it more properly belongs to the compositor, and the general practice of the trade is for the compositor on the work to make the alteration. 'Hie article does not apply to cases where a re-im|>osition or transposition of pages is required ; in all such cases the compositor is entitled to charge his time.” Art. XI.] “This article is by general acceptation understood to mean that, in a quarto or octavo volume, there must be one note of twenty lines or two shorter ones to constitute any charge, and that there must be on an average more than four pages in every ten sheets to carry a higher charge than one shilling a sheet; that is in a work of forty 8vo. sheets more than sixteen pages; for a fresh calculation is nut made fur every ten sheets. If, therefore, two notes, or one note of twenty lines occur in an octavo or quarto volume — and two pages or two notes in eighteens and smaller-sized works, one shilling per sheet is paid fur such works throughout. “ Where the notes exceed the <|U3ntity stipulated in the al>ovc article, an additional sixpence per sheet is charged, until the quantity of note entitles the compositor to a further advance, when, in order to ascerUun what that advance should be, the whole of the notes are mea.sured oil', and cast up os a distinct body, and one shilling per sheet is charged for placing. “ For example — \ work of twenty sheets containing eighty pages of notes, or four pages in each sheet, is cast up os three-fourths pica (the bc^y) and one-fourth long primer (the notes), os follows: Per sheet. Pica, -10 by -10, at fid. comes to Ifia. . 3 tbs =: i,' 0 12 O Long primer, 50 by 50, at ditto Is 20s. - jth - 0 5 O By letters 0 17 O Making up, or placing notes 0 1 0 £0 18 0 “ nic usiud rtilc for the type for notes is two sizes less than the text; i. c. English text has Small Pica notes; Small Pica text, Ilourgcois notes; Long Primer text, Previer notes; but when under this size a proportionally less quantity of note is re¬ quired to constitute the aliove chargc.s. Thus— If in a work set in Small Pica, the notes should be set in Brevier, which is three sizes less than the text; the same number of thousands should l>c composed for Is, per sheet, as would be equivalent to the numlrcr of thousands contained in the four pages of Bourgeoi-s i. c. if the four pages of Bourgeois cont.iin 10,000 letters, no more than that numlrer of brevier should be composed with¬ out an increased charge. • " To compensate the compositor for time employed in making up, altering refer¬ ences, &c., the notes, although in the same size as any type used in the text, take the charge of Is. per sheet. “ Sides upon notes, when set up in a smaller type than the note, are charged according to the rule laid down for notes." Art. XII.] “ In casting up a work with side-notes, the side-notes arc not reckoned in the width of the page. “ Side-notes are cast up as double — that is, the length and breadth of the side-notes are taken, multiplied, and the product doubled. When the space between the notes do not exceed a broad quotation it is reckoned in measuring off the notes. Tlie side-note width of the guard Une and head lines are reckoned in measuring the depth of the notes. Tlie reglets or leads between the text and side-note are reckoned in the width of the text, when the side-notes are cast up. One shilling per sheet for side notes, in addition to their being cast up as double, is allowed for placing. SCALE OF PRICES. 747 “ Under-runners from side-notes are reckoned in the side-note, and paid 3d. each, in addition. “ When the bottom notes to law works, &c. are attended with extra trouble, in con- sequence of numerous contractions, an extra is paid.” Art. XIII.] “ The Saxon language is mentioned only in regard to the charge of one shilling per sheet, while works wholly done in ihat language seem to have been unin¬ tentionally omitted in the Scale; they are, however, paid the same as Greek without accents, according to Article XIV. “ The term ‘ dead characters ’ is extremely indefinite; and the charge allowed by this article is not limited to the languages of such nations as are extinct, but includes all languages for which roman or italic type is not employed, such as Sanskrit and other oriental characters; also German, Irish, &c. &c. “ This article defines only what charge is to be made for Greek, Hebrew, Saxon, &c. when introduced in small quantities in various parts of a sheet, — such as single words, half lines, or lines. If there be one word, and not more than three lines, the charge is one shilling for each character, in every sheet in which those characters occur : all above three lines is paid according to their value, preserving the Is. per sheet for the first three lines. When the quantity of Greek, Hebrew, Saxon, &c. amounts to two- thirds, interspersed throughout the sheet, it is paid as all Greek, or an equivalent price allowed for the admixture. “ As it occasionally occurs that words in Greek, &c. are obliged to be set up in a different sized fount to the body of the work, when such is the case, extra is paid for justification. , “ For the convenience of employers, and that each sheet of a work may be paid the same price, it is sometimes the practice to ascertain the quantity contained in the work, and put an average price upon each sheet. This was not formerly the general custom, nor is it, indeed, commendable, since by this mode it often happens that the task of setting up that part of a work containing the greatest quantity of Greek, &c. falls into the hands of those who have had no share of the lighter parts of the work, and thus endless and bitter disputes are caused by one man being called upon to perform that labour for which another has received the reward. The article limits the charge to ‘ that sheet,’ and therefore a work in which small portions of Greek, &c. are introduced, should be charged according to the particular quantity in each sheet.” Art. XIV.] “ By ‘ separate accents’ is meant the use of distinct accents with kerned letters. “ The composition of grammars being attended with extra trouble, :^d. per 1000 is allowed for them. Therefore Grammars in Greek, Hebrew, &c. take the advance specified in Article V. Thus, a Greek grammar without space lines and accents is paid 9d. per 1000. “ Jobs in Greek, &c. of one sheet or under are also paid Id. per thousand more than the prices above stated. “ It has been contended that works in Greek, Hebrew, &c. not being common matter, were not intended to be subject to the reduction upon reprints ; but as the same advantage accrues to a compositor upon reprint Greek as upon reprint English, it is just that the reduction should be made; and therefore Greek, &c. set up from printed copy, is subject to the modification of the Scale proposed by the masters in 1816.” Art. XV.] “ The phrase ‘ paid double ’ signifies double the price of common matter. Although Hebrew with points is alone stated to be cast upas half body and half points doubled; yet Syriac, or any other language or character with points, is cast up in the s^e manner. * Of the mode of casting up a work with points, the following is an example: — Sup¬ posing the work to be set up in small pica Hebrew with nonpareil points, it is cast up as half small pica and half nonpareil, that is, each page is charged as if it were a page of small pica and a page of nonpareil. “ Grammars, Dictionaries, &c. in these languages are cast up at double the price spe¬ cified in Article V. “ This article applies only to works, or where several pages appear together. Small quantities of Arabic, Syriac, &c. are paid according to Article XIII.” -Art. XVI.] “ That is, if the sonnet type be long primer, the square of the page is taken as long primer, and the amount which the sheet or job would be paid as long primer is doubled. “ The rule is, however, but little applicable to the present style of letter-press music printing, the composition of which is now usually paid an ad valorem price, as double the price of sonnet type would not pay. Indeed, in music wholly instrumental, Art. 16. would be useless as a guide, as there would be no sonnet type employed.” 748 SCALE OF PRICES. addition to what they come to by letter^ • .i,e numbering does not mean that Art.

We do not now include this spreading and delating of the ink in the meaning of setting off, but use the term only when one printed sheet parts with some of its ink to the sheet on which it is laid, or in the press, or in the process of binding, which it will do with large letter, which requires much ink, or when a book is pressed, or bound, before the ink is sufficiently dry : the Book¬ binder’s hammer is a severe test; and where a book is required to be bound as soon as printed, the best plan, perhaps, is to have it cold pressed, which flattens the impression of the types, and renders it unnecessary to beat so much as when this mode of proceeding is not adopted. In printing fine work at press set-off sheets are used to prevent one sheet defacing another. — See Set-off Sheets. SET THE BOUNCE. Fixing the girts so that the Bounce stand in the most advantageous position to run the carriage in easily. — M. SETS UP TO HIMSELF. When a compositor has received the making-up from a companion, and has composed the intermediate matter, he has set up to himself; that is, he has composed the matter that followed his companion’s last page and preceded the part he com¬ menced with, and has joined the two parts, so as to enable him to make up. See Join, and Making-up, to give the. Sets Wide. See Drive out. — M. We now use the term for wide spacing. SET UP CLOSE. When two or more companions are on the same piece of work, and when any one of them composes all his copy, so that there is none intermediate between the close of his and the beginning of the companion’s that follows him, it is said, he has set up close, or, he has set close up. SEVENTY-TWOMO. A sheet of paper folded into seventy-two leaves or one hundred and forty-four pages is termed seventy-twos or seventy-twomo. SHANK. The square metal the face of a letter stands on, is called the Shank of a Letter. — M. SHABP IMPBESSION. This expression is used two ways by printers: some say it is a sharp impression when much blanket is used, and the impression of the types on the paper is deep : others hold, and I am of the opinion, that it is a sharp impression when no more than the face of the types appears on the paper, with the lines clear and smooth, and of a full colour, with as little indention as possible on the paper. Pressmen and their employers should know in which sense they each use the term, otherwise it may cause a serious mistake in work, as the two meanings embrace the best as well as the commonest work. SHEABS. Something similar to those used by tailors; they are employed to cut brass rule, scaleboard, thin reglet, &c. to proper lengths. The shears best adapted to Ihis purpose have blades short in proportion to their handles. SHEEP’S FOOT. Is all made of iron, with an hammer head at one end, to drive the ball nails into the ball stocks, and a claw at the other end, to draw the ball nails out of the ball stocks. — M. It is customary to have one for each press, which in a wooden press is suspended by the head from two nails driven into the near cheek of the press, just below the cap. It is a very useful article to the pressman ; but is often applied instead of the mallet and shooting stick, to tighten or to loosen 756 SHERWIN AND COPE’S PRESS. quoins, though it occasionally makes a batter by slipping; 1 do not like to see it used for this purpose.

These springs, operating uniformly, cause the action of the piston to be very smooth. The Imperial press, is, I believe, in high estimation for easiness in the pull, which gives it speed in working, and for evenness of impression. On the first introduction of this press the toe of the lever or chill worked on a flat surface on the top of the bolt; the introduction of the cup or knuckle is a subsequent improvement. They are made of different sizes, from foolscap folio to double royal. SHOE. An old shoe with the hind quarter cut away, hung upon a nail through the heel at the end of the imposing stone, into which to put bad letters when correcting. When full, the person who has the care of the materials empties it into the old metal box. SHOOTING STICK. Is a perfect wedge about six inches long, and its thicker end two inches broad, and an inch and an half thick; and its thin end about an inch and an half broad, and half an inch thick; made of box wood.— M. They are not now made so thick. The use of a shooting stick is to drive the quoins with a mallet, both in locking-up and unlocking a form; they are 81 inches long. As the thin end of a wooden shooting stick always wears down rapidly, or splits, some houses have adopted metal ones, made of brass, well secured in a strong wooden handle, with a square piece cut out of the 758 SIGLA. end, leaving one side a little longer than the other, with a more acute angle; these are very useful where the quoining room is small, and the quoins are of course thin. SHORT CROSS. .See Chase. —.1/. The shortest and also the broad¬ est bar that divides a chase into quarters; there is a groove in the upper side of it to admit the spurs of the points to be pressed into it without injuring their points. This cross is dovetailed in the middle of the sides of the chase, for folios, quartos, and octavos, without the long cross for folios ; there is another dovetail in the rim of the chase, leaving about two thirds of the chase on one side of the short cross and one third on the other; the cross is fitted into these dovetails for twelves, and separates the otfcut from the other part of the sheet. 1 would always place the short cross in tlie middle of the chase for eightecns, where the margin will admit it, as it divides the pages more ecjually, and makes the form safer when locked up ; in this case the cross occupies the place of a gutter instead of a back. .SHORT RA(ili. A page that is not fidl of matter; as the end of a chay>ter, a book, or a volume. Though it is termed a short page, yet tlie term only applies to what appears when printed, for in reality the page is, or ought to be, made up to the exact length of tlie other pages in the sheet, tlie blank part being filled up with furniture. I would always jiut a lead at the leiu^t after the last line of the matter, and next to that a piece of thick reglct cut to the measure, to prevent any letters dropping down, and a line of quotations, or large ({uadrats, at the bottom, which will keep the other jiages in register; the vacancy between these may then be tilled iqi with furniture to make the page of a proper length, and if they be not so long as the exact width of the Jiage it will not lx; mate¬ rial; but if it be made up entirely with furniture, the adjoining pages will be twisted and out of register, when the form is locked up, for it is not possible to cut the pieces so accurate to the width as a line of tjua- drats, for the gutter to rest against. If the page be verj- short, it will be better to have an additional line of rpiadrats or quotations in the middle. SIK^R r RUl.L. W hen the pull is so justified, that a sufheient jires- sure is produced w hen the bar is brought about half way over, or a little more; this pull is adopted in small light forms, w here despatch is required. Shout Rins. Sec Cramp Ikovs. SHUITT,IX(i. This is a term used in the Warehouse; and is part of the process of Knocking-up, when the paper is laid in heaps, after having been taken down from the poles, to make it lie even at the edges. It is performed by taking hold of a few quires of the paper loosely at the sides, and holding the far side a little lower than that next the body, upon the table, w hen, shaking both hands, it gradually projects the lower sheets ; then lifting it up and bending it a little, it is let drop on its edge upon the table; by repeating this process two or three times, the parcel becomes even at the edges, and is in a fit state to be piled away. It is a process in which expertness can only be acquired by practice, and observation. Side Notes. See Marginal Notes. SIDE STICK. The same as foot stick, except that they are placed against the side of the page, as their name signifies. See Foot Stick. SIGLA. By this term are meant, notes, breviatures, letters set for words, characters, short hand. We find sigla in the most ancient MSS.: some specimens of such as were used in the sixth, seventh, and eighth centuries, are here given. SIGLA 759 Some of these sigla were made by the Antiquarians who wrote the book, and others afterwards for the illustration of the text. The annexed sigla may be explained thus: — 1. H. S. e. Hie suppleas, or hasc supplenda. 2. H. D. L e. Hie deficit, or haec deficiunt. 3. Paragraphus, a note of division. 4. Diple, to mark out a quotation from the Old Testament. 5. Crisimon, being composed of X and P, which stands for Christ. 6. Hederacei folii Figura, an ivy leaf, the ancient mark of division. 7. Ancora superior. To denote a very remarkable passage. 8. Denotes, the beginning of a lesson. 9. Signifies good. 10. Stands for something very kind, or benevolent. 11. Points out a fine or admirable passage. 12. lepide dictum. Finely said. 1 bJ 2 ]dO 3 r 4 7 5 sS 0 7 8 ^ a U 12 C]P C h Sc / h Ld Many writers have employed their pens in elucidating the sigla on coins and medals ; among others, Octavius de Strada in Aurea Niimis- mata, &c. where we read C. C^sar. Divi. F. IMP. Cos. III. Vir R. P. C. that is, Caii Ccesaris Divi filius imperator consul Triumvir reipublicce constituendee. A number of similar examples may be found in the same author, and in AEneas Vicus Parmensis de Augustarum imaginibus. As to epitaphs or sepulchral inscriptions, it was common to begin them with these literary signs, D. M. S. signifying Diis Manibus Sacrum, and, as still is customary with us, on such occasions, the glorious actions, praises, origin, age, and rank of the deceased, with the time of his death, were set forth. It is a fact too well known to require any particular elucidation, that it was customary with the ancients to burn the bodies of the dead, and to deposit the remains in urns or vessels, as appears from the funeral obsequies of Patroclus and Achilles in Homer. Altars erected to the Supreme Being are of the highest antiquity, but by the ambition and corruption of mankind were afterwards prostituted to flatter both the living and the dead. Inscriptions, or literary signs, frequently appeared on those altars; as Ar. Don. D. that is, Aram dono dedit, and such like. - Public Statues were erected to Kings, Emperors, and others, both before and after their death, on which the names of the dedicators were frequently inscribed in litefary signs. As in this inscription. Civ. Inter- amnanae Civ. Utriusque Sex. Aer. Coll. Post Ob. H. P. D. that is. Gives Interamnance civitatis utriusque sexus cere collato post obitum hujus patronae dedicarunt. The Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans used forms of saluting or com¬ plimentary expressions at the beginning of their letters, and then pro¬ ceeded to the subject of the letters themselves. The Latin method was to place the name of the writer first, afterwards that of the person to whom the letter was addressed. The names were either put simply without any epithet in literary signs, as C. Att. S. 760 SIGNATURE. that is Cicero Attico Sulutem ; or the dignity or rank ol' tlie person was added, as, C. S. D. Plane. Imp. Cos. Des. that is, Cicero Sulutem (licit Planco Imperatori Consuli designato. The epistolary writings of the Romans abound with examples of this kind. The Military Sigla amongst the Romans are treated of by Vegetius and Frontinus. See John Nieholaus, who hath written professedly upon the Sigla of the Ancients ;—J. Nicolai Tractatus de Siglis Veterum. Lugd. Bat. 1703, tto. A competent knowledge of these literary signs, or verbal contractions used by the ancients, is of the utmost importance to those who wish to be familiarly acejuainted with ancient history. These Sigla or Signs fre(juently ai)pear on marbles, coins, ami medals, and occur in those in¬ estimable volumes of antiquity, which have transmitted to us the most important truths relative to the religion, manners, customs, arts and sciences, of ancient nations. These are keys, as it were, to unlock the most precious volumes of anti(juity ; they introduce us to a more speedy ac(|uaintancc with all the various works of ancient artists and writers.

I have extended these tables of Signatures and folios to 18mo., which is a size that has been much iu use of late years; and in the table of 18mo. I have given it as usually imposed, as three half sheets of 12mo. with three signatures ; the first signature in each sheet is with a capital letter, tlie intermediate signatures are small capitals. SIXTEENMO. —A sheet of paper folded into sixteen leaves or thirty- two j)ages is termed a sixteens or sixteenmo. SIXTY-EOUKMO.— A sheet of paper folded into sixty-four leaves or one hundred and twenty-eight pages is termed sixty-fours or sixty- fourmo. SLICE. — The false bottom of a large galley, made to slide out, for the purpose of keeping a quarto or a folio page upon it, without disturbing it, as being safer than transfer¬ ring it to a page paper. .Sce(iALLEY. Slice is also the name of an iron implement used in the ink block to transfer the ink from the tub or other receptacle, and to scrape it together in a mass, clear of the balls when ink is taken with them; it Inus an iron pin through it near the bot¬ tom of the handle, so that if it falls tlat on the ink block, it will rest on this jiin, which prevents the handle from being smeared with ink. SLIP.S. — In jirinting encyclopn*dias, tiictionaries of arts or sciences, and similar works, which frcipiently undergo great alterations in the proofs, they are occasionally pulleil on slips of papcT, of the length and half the breadth of a demy leaf ol' paper. This is done on account of the facility of adding new subject matter, or taking some away, without having to overrun and to re-makc up the sheet, after it has been im¬ posed in pages. SLUR. —When from any cause at press, the impression on the paper is smeared, it is said to Slur. This may arise from many causes — if the tym|)an joints are loose, it will be protluced by the least lateral movement of the tympan after it is turned down — if the ear of the frisket touches the inside of the cheek in running in, it will cause it — if the ))ress runs close, so that the inner tympan touches the face of the platen, it is very likely to slur; and I have often observed this in wooden presses that had been altered to ob¬ tain the additional power, for the platen was brought so low and near to the face of the letter in the form, as not to allow room to run in clear. In presses where the tympans are large, if the slur pin does not act, that corner of the tympan will come in contact with the form first, and cause a slur, particularly if the tympans are in any way rickety, or twisted by drawing on the parchment. Where the winter has been justified with c.ards, to produce a greater spring in the pull, it has been known to pro¬ duce slurring. The first step towards curing this defect is to ascertain from what cause it arises ; and then it is not difficult: but it has often caused great trouble to discover the cause. The following are mv old Pressman's directions “To prevent .Slurring and Maculing;” and though it will be perceived that some of them apply only to wooden presses, yet the whole may be useful. “ 1. Keep the face of the inner tympan and platen clean and dry. “ 2. Be sure that the parchments are tight both on the inner and outer tympans ; also that the tympans are not rickety, nor the joints slack. “ 3. Guide cramps are a great preventive to slurring and maculing. “ 1. The tenons in the head and winter must exactly fit the moitises in the cheeks. SMALL NUMBERS. 775 “ 5. The short bolts must be screwed tightly up, to fix the nut or box firmly in the head, and must not have the least play. “ 6. The garter must fit the spindle and hose, and the spindle must fit the hose, as exactly as possible. “ 7. The hose must work perpendicularly, and steady in the shelves. “ 8. The platen must be tightly and properly tied, or otherwise fixed, so that it shall come down upon the face of all the types in the form at the same moment. “ 9. The wheel must be well justified on the spit. 10. The railing of the inner tympan must not rub against the pla¬ ten, in running in or out. “ 11. The shanks of the points must not be so far over the outer part of the tympan as to rub against the cheeks of the press. “ 12. If a clumsy smith has made the joints of the frisket so thick as to cause the tympan to rub against the face of the platen, he must alter them at his own expense. “ 13. The shelves must be quite steady. “ IL The press stone must be worked down with hard pulling until it becomes a fixture. “ 15. The frisket must be quite even, and fall flat on the form ; and the paper which is pasted on it must not bag. “ 16. Fix the winter as solid as possible. “ 17. Let the tympans fall easily on the form, neither driving them from you, nor pulling them to you in letting them down ; neither let the platen touch them till they are quite run in, nor run them out till the platen is quite clear of them. “ Exclusively of the aforesaid, there may be many other causes of slurring, which the pressman can only discover by close attention. I have often found cork bearers a great preventive. “ I have heard many complaints of the middle pages of a twelves form maculing at a two-pull press; but this is not always the fault of the press. The cause fi’equently is owing to blankets being in the tym¬ pan which have been used for folios, quartos, octavos, &c. &c.; and in¬ stead of its being a macule, it is nothing more than that part of the blanket which had covered the short cross of other work, and in the twelves form caused a deep and-ugly impression, looking like a macule: this evil can only be remedied by new blankets, or confining the use of them to 12mo. forms.” SLUR PIN.— A flat-headed screw, that goes through the off side of the outer tympan, near the head band, so as to rest on the chase or fur¬ niture. Its use is to prevent the off corner of the tympan from coming down on the types before the other par^ts, which when it happens causes slurring. SMALL CAPITALS.—Capitals of a smaller size than the regular capitals of a fount, but cast on the same body ; thus the small capitals of Double Pica are about the same height as English capitals. They bear off more from each other, and are stouter, in proportion to their size, than the capitals of the same fount. They are used for running titles; for heads of chapters; for emphatic words ; and for subordinate lines in titles and jobs. Till of late years small capitals were only cast in Eng¬ land to founts of Roman letter; the type founders cast them now occa¬ sionally to Italic letter, and they form a useful sort. Moxon does not mention small capitals; nor are they in the plan of the cases of Roman letter which he gives in his work. See Sorts.

SMALL PICA. — The name of a type, one size larger than Long Primer and one smaller than Pica. It is half the body of Double Pica in depth. Moxon does not enumerate it in his Table of the sizes of each body ; but, after giving the names of the different types, he says, “ These are the bodies most of use in England; but the Dutch have several other bodies: which because there is little and almost no perceivable difference from some of the.se mentioned, I think they are not worth naming. Yet we have one body more which is sometimes used in England; that is a Small Pica, but I account it no great discretion in a master printer to provide it: because it differs so little from the Pica, that unless the workmen be carefuller than they sometimes are, it may be mingled with the Pica, and so the beauty of both founts may be spoiled. ” See Types. 'I'liis was published in 1G83, and opinion has changed so much re¬ specting this size, that at the present day there are perhaps more works j)rinted with it than with any other size. S.MOL'T.

When a new work is put in hand, a specimen page, that is, a page of the proposed size and letter, is composed, and pulled in a neat manner on paper similar to that which is meant to be used. This is to show the effect of the work when printed. It sometimes occurs, that two or three pages are required, of different sizes, and of different letter, before the author or publisher decides in what way the work shall be done. These are called Specimen Pages. 778 SPRING OF A FORM.

SPOT riSW'OODE FRE.S.S. 'I'his is a beautiful contrivance, and was, as I understand, the invention of .Vnilrew ispottiswoode, Esq., who has several of them in action in his extensive establishment. It is moved by steam, and prints two forms at the same time, which pass alternately under the platen, producing at its average rate of working seven hundred impressions of each form in the hour. The frisket is attached to the tynqian at the bottom near the tympan joints, so that w hen the tympan is lifted from the form by the machinery they open at the upper end, contrarj- to the usual way in presses worked by manual labour, and the printed sheet is left by the tympan resting on the frisket, w here the paper w.os previously laid on. I believe this is the first successful application of steam, as a motive power, to printing presses with a platen and a perpendicular pressure. 1 heard the late Alexander Tilloch, Esq., say that he intended to apply it to the presses w ith w hich the Star new spaper was printed, but he never carried it into eft’ect: and Mr. Koenig came to England solely for this purpose; but after some years passed in making experiments, assisted by English capital, he was completely foiled in the attempt, and after¬ wards w orked upon Mr. Nicholson’s plan, and produced a machine to print with cylinders .—See Machine. SPRING OF A FORM. When a form has a great quantity of furniture in it, and is locked up very tight, it frequently springs up in the middle, so as to endanger its bursting upward ; it is then said, the form springs, or it is.termed the spring of the form. In this case it is advisable to examine the furniture, for some pieces may not be planed square bv the joiner, and to change them for others STANHOPE PRESS. 779 of the same size that appear perfect, and do not lock up very tight; tighten the quoins gradually, and frequently plane down while you are locking up ; these measures will generally remedy the evil.

A page or form is squabbled when the letters of one or more lines are got into any of the adjacent lines ; or that the letter or letters are twisted about out of their square position.— M. Stack of Books. See Pile of Books. STACK OF PAf»ER. When paper is received into the warehouse from the stationer, it is piled up in tiers of four, five, six, or eight bundles in each tier, and is called a stack of paper, or a pile of paper. The warehouseman in piling his paper considers the height of his room, that he may not take up more of the floor than is absolutely necessary, to enable him to stow as much as possible : thus, if he receive one hundred reams, and has height, he will make a stack of six in preference to two or four or five. He crosses the joinings of the bundles in each tier to bind them together, as a bricklayer does in building a square pillar; and I have always found the stack strengthened by laying on every third or fourth tier a number of stout wrappers spread over the bundles. Paper should never be stacked without interposing something between the bottom of it and the floor, to prevent any Avater that might acci¬ dentally be spilled coming in contact with it, which would certainly mildew and spoil it if it were not perceived at the first; and even then it would require a great deal of trouble to prevent it: where there are not regular stages made, some short pieces of old poling laid a little distance from each other upon the floor will ansAver very well. STAGE. A platform raised a few inches from the floor, to pile books or paper upon, for the purpose of preserving the bottom of the pile from injury, in case of water being spilt in the Avarehouse. Where there are no regular stages in a Avarehouse, substitutes, which answer the purpose very Avell, may be easily provided, by taking an old paper board, or any pieces of board, and putting thi’ee pieces of an old pole under each of them on which to pile the books. STAINING OF PAPER. The master printers of the metropolis, till Avithin a feAv years, dined together annually at some good coffee house or tea gardens in the vicinity of London ; and one of the regular toasts after dinner was, “ The well-staining of Paper." STAMPS. 3 & 4 W. 4. c. 97. s. 12.

A compositor is said to stand still, if he be out of copy, or out of letter : a pressman, if he has not a form to lay on, or is prevented working by any other cause. A compositor says he is stand¬ ing still for copy, or for letter — a pressman says he is standing still for a form, &c. STANHOPE PRESS. The merits of the Stanhope press, and its su¬ periority, are so well established in the minds of printers, from long expe- 780 STANHOPE PRESS. rience of its valuable properties, that any additional praise from me would be an act of supererogation ; I shall therefore confine myself to giving engravings of it, and a rather full description. Figs. 1. and 2. are elevations, ^/ 7 . .S. a plan, and Jig. 4. a section. A .V is a massive frame of cast iron, formed in one piece : this is tlie body of the press, in the upper part of which a nut is fixed for the reception of the screw h, and its point operates upon the upper end of a slider, d, which is fitted into a dovetail groove formed between two vertical bars, c, c, of the frame. Tlie slider has the platen, D D, firmly attached to the lower end of it; and being aecurately fitted between the guides e, e, tlie platen must rise and fall parallel to itself when the screw, i, is turned. Tlie weight of the platen and slider are counterbalanced by a heavy weight, E, behind the press, which is suspended from a lever, F, and this acts upon the slider to lift it up, and keep it always bearing against the point of the screw. At G G are two projecting pieces, cast all in one with the main frame, to support the carriage when the pull is made; to these the rails, H H, are screwed, and placed truly horizontal for the carriage, I, to run upon them, when it is carried under the press to receive the im¬ pression, or drawn out to remove the printed sheet. The carriage is moved by the rounce or handle K, with a spit and leather girths, very similar to the wooden press. Upon the spit, or axle of the handle K, a wheel, L, is fixed, and round this leather girths are passed, one extending to the back of the carriage to draw it in, and the other, which passes round the wlieel in an opposite direction, to draw it out. By this means. STANHOPE PRESS. 781 when the handle is turned one way it draws out the carriage, and by re¬ versing the motion it is carried in. There is likewise a check strap,/, from the wheel down to the wooden base, M M, of the frame, and this li¬ mits the motion of the wheel, and consequently the excursion of the car¬ riage. The principal improvement of Earl Stanhope’s press consists in the manner of giving motion to the screw, h, of it, which is not done simply by a bar or lever attached to the screw, but by a second lever ; e. gr. the screw, h, has a short lever, g, fixed upon the upper end of it, and this communicates b^ an iron bar, or link, h, to another lever, i, of rather shorter radius, which is fixed upon the upper end of a second spindle, /, and to this the bar or handle, h, is fixed. Now when the work¬ man pulls this handle, he turns round the spindle, I, and by the connex¬ ion of the rod, h, the screw, h, turns with it, and causes the platen to descend and produce the pressure. But it is not simply this alone, for the power of the lever, k, is transmitted to the screw in a ratio propor¬ tioned to the effect required at the different parts of the pull; thus at first, when the pressman takes the bar, k, it lies in a direction parallel to the frame, or across the press, and the short lever, i, (being nearly per¬ pendicular thereto,) is also nearly at right angles to the connecting rod h ; but the lever, g^ of the screw makes a considerable angle with the rod, which therefore acts upon a shorter radius to turn the screw; be¬ cause the real power exerted by any action upon a lever, is not to be con¬ sidered as acting with the full length of the lever between its centres, but with the distance in a perpendicular drawn from the line in which the action is applied to the centre of the lever. Therefore, when the pressman first takes the handle, k, the lever, ^, acts with its full length upon a shorter length of leverage, g, on the screw, which will conse¬ quently be turned more rapidly than if the bar itself was attached to it; but on continuing the pull, the situation of the levers change, that of the screw, g, continually increasing in its acting length, because it comes nearer to a perpendicular with the connecting rod, and at t j^e s ame t!me the lever, diminishes its acting length, because, by the ob^Jj^y^ the lever, the rod, h, approaches the centre, and the perpendicular distance diminishes; the bar or handle also comes to a more favourable position for the man to pull, because he draws nearly at right angles to its length. All these causes combined have the best effect in producing an immense pressure, without loss of time ; because, in the first instance, the lever-, acts with an increased motion upon the screw, and brings the platen down very quickly upon the paper, but by that time the levers have as¬ sumed such a position as to exert a more powerful action upon each other, and this action continues to increase as the bar is drawn forwards, until the lever, i, and the connecting rod are brought nearlj'^ into a straight line, and then the power is immensely great, and capable of pro¬ ducing any requisite pressure which the parts of the press will sustain without yielding. The handle is sometimes made to come to rest against a stop, which prevents it moving further, and therefore regulates the de¬ gree of pressure given upon the work; but to give the means of increas¬ ing or diminishing this pressure for different kinds of work, the stop is made moveable to a small extent. Another plan is adopted by some makers of the Stanhope press, viz. to have a screw adjustment at the end of the connecting rod, h, by which it can be shortened; it is done by fit¬ ting the centre pin which unites it to the lever, g, in a bearing piece, Avhich slides in a groove formed in the rod, and is regulated by the screw. This shortening of the connecting rod produces a greater or less de¬ scent of the platen, when the handle is brought to the stop. 782 STANHOPE PRESS. The carriage of the press is represented with wheels, m, m, beneath, to take off the friction of moving upon the ribs, HH. These wheels are sho\Vn at Jig. -f., which is a section of the screw and the platen, with the carriage beneath it: their axles, w, are fitted to springs, p, and these are adjustable by means of screws, r, so that the carriage will be borne up to any required height. This is so regulated, that when the carriage is run into the pre.s9, its lower surface shall bear lightly upon the solid cheeks, G, which are jtart of the body of the press, and these support it when the pressure is applied, the same as the winter of the old press: but the wheels by their springs act to b^ar up great part of the weight of the carriage with the types upon it, and diminish the friction, yet do not destroy the contact of the carriage upon the ribs, because this would not give the carriage that solidity of bearing which is requisite for re¬ sisting the pull. This is only at the time when the carriage is run into the pres.s, because as it runs out, the ribs on which the wheels run rise higher, and therefore the wheels support the whole weight. The manner in which the wheels run in rebates or recesses in the edges of the ribs is shown at Jig. 1. The carriage is made of cast iron, in the form of a box, with several cross partitions, which are all cast in one piece, and although made of thin metal, are exceedingly strong: the upper surface is made truly Hat, by turning it in a lathe. The same of the platen, which is likewise a shallow box: the slider, <1, has a |)late formed on tlie lower end of it, which is fixed by four screws upon the top of the platen, and thus they are united. .\t the four angles of the carriage, j)ieces of iron are screwed on, to form bearings for the quoins or wedge.s which are driven in to fasten the form of types upon it in the true [)osition for printing. I’he tympaii, 1*, (jig. -.) is attached to the carriage by joints, with an iron bracket or stoji to catch it wlien it is thrown back : the frisket, K, is joined to the tympan, and when opened out, rests against a frame suspended from the ceiling. The register points are the same as in the wooden pre.ss, and all the operations of working are exactly the same. The iron frame, .V, of the jrress is screwed down upon the wooden base, .^I, by bolts, which pass through feet, .« .t, projecting from the lower part of the iron iVame. .\nother woo*len beam is fixed into the former at right angles, so as to form a cross, which lies upon the floor. The ribs, 11, for the carriage to run upon are supported from the wooden base by an iron bracket, 1. 'I’he advantages of the iron presses in working are very considerable, both in saving labour and time. TItc first arises from the beautiful con¬ trivance of the levers, the power of the press being almost incalculable at the moment of producing the impression ; and this is not attended with a correspondent loss of time, as is the case in all other mechanical powers, because the power is only exerted at the moment of pressure, being before that adapted to bring down the platen as quickly as pos¬ sible. This great power of the press admits of a saving of time, by printing the whole sheet of paper at one pull, the platen being made sufficiently large for that purpose ; whereas, in the old press, the platen is only half the size of the sheet. In the Stanhope press, the whole surface is printed at once, with far less power upon the handle than the old press. This arises not only from the levers, but from the iron fram¬ ing of the press, which will not admit of any yielding, as the wood always does, and indeed is intended to do, the head being packed up with elastic substances, such as scaleboard, pasteboard, and the felt of an old hat. In this case much power is lost, for in an elastic press the pressure is gained by screwing or straining the parts up to a certain degree of STEREOTYPE. 783 tension, and the effort to return produces the pressure: now in this case, the handle will make a considerable effort to return, which, though it is in reality giving back to the workman a portion of the power he exerted on the press, is only an additional labour, as it obliges him to bear the strain a longer time than he otherwise would. The iron presses have very little elasticity, and those who use them find it advantageous to diminish the thickness of the blankets in the tympan; the lever has then very little tendency to return; in fact, if the pull be so justified as that, when the bar is pulled home, the end of the lever, i, that is attached to the con¬ necting rod, h, passes in a small degree the centre of the second spindle, I, the pressure is past its maximum power, the press bar has no tendency to return, and the pressman can rest upon his pull in fine work, without any exertion.

STEREOTYPE.—The surface of a page of types cast in one piece, of type metal, about the eighth of an inch thick, and turned in a lathe at the back of the plate, so that the whole of the plates of a volume shall be of one uniform thickness. When they are required to be printed they are mounted on what are called Risers : these risers, with the thickness of the stereotype plate, are precisely the same height as the types, so that when a form is composed of stereotype plates and types, the pressure shall be equal on both.— See Risers. The spaces and quadrats are cast higher than for the common pro¬ cess ; and when the form is ready, the face of it is oiled with a brush, then burnt plaster of Paris (gypsum) mixed with water to the consistence of cream is poured upon it; when the plaster is sufficiently hardened it is taken off from the types and forms a matrix in which to cast a fac-simile of the types ; this matrix is then placed in an oven to dry, and made hot, when it is secured in a frame and immersed in a caldron of melted metal, where it remains some time ; when it is taken out, and cool, it goes to a person styled the Picker, to remove any superfluous metal, and to remedy any defects ; it is then, generally, turned at the back to a specific thickness, and to remove any inequalities ; after this it is read}"^ for press. For the details of the process I refer the reader to An Essay on the Origin and Progress of Stereotype Printing : including a De¬ scription of the various Processes. By Thomas Hodgson, Newcastle : printed by and for S. Hodgson, &c. 1820.” This process was first practised by William Ged, of Edinburgh, who commenced in the year 1725. After much perseverance he formed an en¬ gagement with the University of Cambridge to print Bibles and Prayer- books ; but the plan received so much opposition from the workmen, in making errors and batters, that it was discontinued, and the plates were ultimately sent to Mr. Caslon’s foundery to be melted down. Mr. Han¬ sard, in his Typographia, says,—“ But a remnant escaped from Caslon’s cormorant crucible ; and I have the opportunity of here presenting my readers with an opposite view of a pair of the very malefactors; and challenge any other to dispute the palm of venerable antiquity with them : they have been rather roughly treated, but besides the purpose for which they are here exhibited, will serve to show the style of type, typography, and stereotype of those days.” Mr. Tilloch had a page of Ged’s casting given to him by Mr. Murray, of Fleet Street, bookseller, which I have seen ; there is also a plate of 784 STUD.

It would be a convenience if the type founders would cast the , ; : and . to them, as it has not a good appearance, when a point is necessary, to see a comma or any other point used that has been cast for the regular body; it is too large, and does not range in line.

In the seventeenth century Italick capitals, in which some of the letters had their terminations projecting considerably beyond the shank, were in use : this projection was called a swash; as— 3 E 786 S^VEDISH.

When the boj^s sweep the composing room in a morning, all the letters and spaces that are on the floor in each frame are carelully gathered up and placed on the bulk belonging to it, and it is the customary rule for the compositor to distribute them the first thing; what are swept together from the middle of the room are collected from the dust before it is taken away, and put in some appointed place for the person who has the care of the materials to distribute.

The first and most ancient of these, called Estranghelo, is formed with square rectangular characters; another alphabet, a little smaller, has letters slightly differing from the first, for greater facility in writing; the third is that known generally by the name of Syriac, and is the only one existing in type in England. The Syriac reads from right to left. Olaph, when followed by Lomad, is written obliquely, as 1m ^. But when Lomad is followed by Olaph, it is written in the beginning of words thus, nut; in the middle thus, jj] he is hewuxled; and at the end thus, ^ it rolls. The pronunciation of the letters is the same as in Hebrew and Chal¬ dee; yet it may be observed, (1.) that Olaph, in certain cases, takes the sound of Jud, as, ojarwiV, lUlD mlojo fulness, sojem placing; (2.) that Vau initial is to be pronounced as the consonant v, but when medial or final, as the vowel \ (3.) that initial Jud with Chebhozo is pronounced as /, as, ileph he learned; (4.) that Ngae followed by He has the sound of ], as, ^m ^ ehadh he remembered; and (5.) that the aspirated sibilant Schin has no peculiar point by which it may be distinguished from the simple sibilant Sin. 'I'hc numbers are expressed by the same letters as in Hebrew, except¬ ing that OA., denotes 15, 20, and ^ 50. A point above the line is used to convert the tens into hunilreds, as -• 100, ^ 200, ^ 300, &c , although the four first humlreds may be expressed also by the four last letters of the alphabet. An oblique line, slanting to the right, under the first nine letters, serves to denote thousands, as 1 lOtX), ^ 2000; and a similar line, but transverse, designates the tens of thousands, as ] 10,000, ^ 20,0resented either by figures or by points, according as the ancient or modern system is fol¬ lowed, but very frequently both are met with together. The simple vowels arc — A K j n r r 1 1 V and both figures and points arj? joined with consonants in the following manner: — Petocho O or ha. Ilebhozo — or ^ or he. Chebhozo — or — hi. Zekopho .O or ^ Ihx. Ozozo or or 0X2 hn. Formerly the marks for the vow els E and 7 were only written below the line, as — he and — hi; and the vowels A, O, and U, were only written above, as ^ bn, — bo, — bu ; but now they are placed some¬ times above and sometimes below, as may be most convenient in writing. The points never change their places. SYRIAC. 789 Zekopho does not give precisely the sound of o, but an obscure sound between o and a, as we find in 1 Cor. xvi. 22. Maran-atha, and in Mark xiv. 36. 1^1*^ Abba. Ozozo is never written without Vau (o), except in W A all, and because of. When the point Ozozo is above the line, it denotes Kibbutz ; but when below the line, Shurek. The diphthongs are formed by the combination of the vowels with the points, of which these are the most used, *->V 0° ou. The vowel marks are not always annexed to the letters to which they belong, but sometimes to the preceding or subsequent letter, and some¬ times omitted altogether, so that grammatical analogy must always be attended to by the reader, as, for example, in the word {.^. 1 . 0 of a son, the point ^ does not belong to the ^ over which it is placed, but to the J following. Three letters o become quiescent under certain circumstances. Olaph, with the vowels Petocho, Rebhozo, and Zekopho in the middle and at the end of a word; w’ith Chebhozo only at the end. Vau always with Ozozo, and in foreign names also with Zekopho. Lastly, Jud with Rebhozo and Chebhozo. Olaph never allows of sheva before it, but brings its own vowel into its place, and in that case becomes quiescent. The vowels are doubtful as respects their quantity, and at one time are short, and at another long; the difference is to be traced from analogy. There are also two points, called Kuschoi and Ruchoch, used for showing the peculiar power of certain letters, and generally distinguished in manuscripts by a difference in the colour of the ink. Kuschoi is a point placed above the six letters L Ci ^ begadcephat. It answers to the dagesh in Hebrew, and takes away the aspiration properly be¬ longing to those letters ; thus ^ is equivalent to b, ^to g, ? to rf, 2 to k, ^ to p, L to t, also to bb, gg, dd, kk, pp, tt. Ruchoch is a point placed below the six letters L D i begadcephat} it shows that the letters are to be aspirated, and answers to the Hebrew raphe; thus ^ is equi¬ valent to bh, y^to gh, ? to dh, ^ to the Greek ^ to ^ to 6. These points are rarely expressed, unless where there is an ambiguity to be explained. Besides those before spoken of, certain lines or points are also em¬ ployed, having a use partly in orthography, and partly in etymology. To orthography belong — 1. A small transverse line written above combined numbers, or con¬ tracted words, as 01-» 15, O' ^ m .L for Z praise. 2. A similar small line, called virgula occultans, under certain letters, which, when indicated thus, are of no value, and to be passed over in reading, so as scarcely to be heard in pronunciation. Thus |il 790 SYRIAC. is not pronounced hore ano, but koreno; and not omar ano, but omarno. Olaph, Dolath, He, Loinad, Nun, and Risch, are the letters most subject to its influence. 3. A diacritical point, changed in its situation in order to avoid an ambiguity in reading. The following may be taken as cases of this sort: — miserable. j « . T ; • • T • 1 X (part.). 1 . iveeping {swhs.). ▼ ; T ■ T : V u^? a judge. judgment. The following belong to etymology: — 1. Two points are used to distinguish the numbers of nouns, because there is often no variation of case or of termination, or mutation of letters, to distinguish the singular from the plural. These two points are called Uibbui, multitude, and are placed over the letter, similarly to the Hebrew tzeri, in this manner^. Hut if Risch (j), which always has a i)oint above it, to distinguish it from the Dolath (?), should occur in the word, then the single point of Risch coalesces w ith the double point thus, In the verbs, the double point indicates the feminine third person plural of the preterites. 2. .\ point is placed beneath the line in all the persons of the preterite (excepting the first person singular, where it is placed above), and be¬ sides this, the third person singular has another at the left side. 3. The j)rcsent active participle has a point above the line, but when Van is in the middle of the word, the point is placed below. I. The infinitive and imperative often have a point placed beneath them, but this is not regular. 5. The scconil and third persons of the future have a point below the line, but the first person has the point above. G. Tl>e imperatives of all the passives require the virgula under the second vowel. There are no accents expresst'd in Syriac. The stress in pronunciation ought to bo laid on the last or penultimate syllables; and in this respect the analogy of the C’haldee is to be attended to. In the derivation of words from the Hebrew, letters may frequently undergo mutation with others of the same class, or of the same organ, and also sibilants with linguals. The servile letters are eleven in number, as in Hebrew, and are the same, saving that Dolath is servile, and on the other hand Schin is radi¬ cal. The preceding observations are extracted from Caspar Waser's Grammatica Syra, Leyden, 1619, and from Jacob Alting's Synopsis Institutionum Chaldaearum et Syrarum, Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1717.

Boys are employed in machine printing to take away the sheets as they are printed, and to lay them straight and even ; this is also styled Taking-oflP, and the boys taking-otF boys. TAKE UP. To take letters up with a composing rule to distri¬ bute.— M. When a compositor is distributing, he places his composing rule against the head of the matter he means to take up, and putting the sides of his two third fingers, near the ends, to the ends of the rule, and the sides of his fingers against the sides of the matter, with his fore fingers at the extreme end, round the corners of the matter he intends to take up, and the ends of his thumbs against the back of the rule, he thus grasps it, and then generally tries if k will lift, when by a sudden lifting of the bottom end of the matter, and turning up of the rule with his thumbs, he raises it from the board to a perpendicular direction, resting on the rule; and turning it with the face of the letter to him, with one part of the rule resting on the third finger of his left hand, and the other end against the ball of his thumb, while the sides of the matter are guarded by his thumb and forefinger, when the measure is not too wide, he begins to distribute. In like manner he takes up matter to move from one galley to another, when he is making up ; except that he places his rule against the foot of the matter, and when he grasps it he does not raise it perpendicularly^ but lifts it to him under his hands, his forefinger being against the rule, and his thumbs grasping the head of the matter. A stranger to the business would be surprised to see the number of lines of types that an expert compositor will lift in this manner. Take up a Sheet. See Ancient Customs. — M. It appears that in Moxon’s time the compositor had a copy of each work he was en¬ gaged on, or received what was termed copy money in lieu of it. This custom is abolished; and no workman is permitted to take a copy of any thing that is printed in the house as a matter of right. TAKING COPY. A compositor receiving copy from the overseer, or other person who has the charge of it, to compose; if in a com¬ panionship, the clicker receives it, and gives it out to the companions. TAKING OFF. Part of a page taken up to distribute.— M. Obsolete. Taleek. See Persian. THE TAMUL ALPHABET. 792 TAMUL.

As an initial also it represents gh in certain words derived from the Sanscrit. f?=—This letter has, w hen single, the sound of s, sh, and the French g in dge ; when double, it has the sound of ch. In words of Sanscrit origin, it represents the Ja and cha of the Sanscrit alphabet. —This letter, when combined with has the sound of the French in Ange. I_— This letter has, when single, the sound of d ; when double, of tty with a strong cerebral articulation. S’—As a medial, this letter has, when single, the sound of d ; when double of tt. As an initial, also, it represents d in certain words of Sanscrit origin. rj—This is the initial n. It is medial only before g"'. '_ ' —Asa medial, this letter has, when single, the sound of b; when double, of pp. And in certain words of Sanscrit origin it has, as an initial also, the sound of b. —This letter is articulated somewhat like the hard r of the Hin¬ dustani alphabet. It may be said to possess generally as a medial, the sound of r, and ns a final, that of /, with a cerebral articulation. AO — This letter has, when single, the sound of rr; and, when double, the sound of a double tt. The word "soul,’’ is used metaphorically in Tamul for a vowel ; the word “body," for a consonant; and the compound word “ soul and bo Jit’ll termed aifadam, is used in addition to the ordinary letters of the alphabet. It is not, strictly speaking, either a vowel or a consonant; but it has the power of a consonant; it is pronounced gutturally, and it lengthens the preceding syllable if short by nature: as @ (ighdu) “this,” instead of @ ^ (^idu), @ before the cerebrals, viz. Lr, has an obscure sound, best expressed by a short u, and may be considered as nearly lost. /oF before the cerebrals, possesses nearly the sound of long u, though a practised ear distinguishes a peculiarity in its utterance. In Tamul. a measure of time, termed mattirei, which is described as occupying the periof’ of the twinkling of an eye, or the snap of a finger, TAMUL. 795 is assigned to the letters in the manner following; vh. to a consonant is assigned half a measure; to a short vowel, one measure; and to a long vowel, two measures.

This is an iron press, the frame of which forms two upright cheeks and the head. The power is not obtained by a screw, but by a cylinder with a knee-joint in the middle, which is bent when not pulling; this allows the platen to rise from the form, which is accomplished by a weight behind, that counter¬ balances the platen. The pull is effected by a bar, in the usual manner, that brings the knee-joint straight, depresses the platen, and produces the impression. The power is regulated by a screw through the head, that acts upon the cylinder. TEASE WOOL, or Hair. Teasing the hard and almost matted knots in the wool, or hair, with which the balls are stuffed.—3/. Wool only is now used for stuffing balls, which is combed with strong wool combs, previous to knocking up balls. It appears by this extract, that hair was used for this purpose as well as wool in the seventeenth cen¬ tury. TESTAMENT.

THICK SPACE. sjiacc, three of which are equal to the body of the letter to which it belongs; it is the thickest space that is cast, the next in thickness being the en (juadrat. THIN SPACE ought, by a strict orderly and methodical measure, to be made of the thickness of the seventh part of the body, though Founders make them indifferently thicker or thinner.—3/. Six thin spaces arc now equal to the body. THIRTV-SIX.MO. .V sheet of paper folded into thirty-six leaves, seventy-two pages, is termed thirty-sixmo. TIHRTY-TWOMO. A sheet of paper folded into thirty-two leaves, sixty-four pages, is termed thirty-twomo. THROW. Roth compositors and pressmen, when they gamble in the office, or take a chance for any advantage arising in work, generally throw for it; that is, they take nine em quadrats, usually English, and, shaking them well together in the hollow of both their hands, throw them upon the imposing stone, or press stone, and he who throws most nicks upward in three times is the winner. They choose quadrats with three deep nicks in each, when such a fount is in the office, as being most easily distinguished. Thu.vib Piece. See Ear of the Frisket. TKHITENTNG THE QUOINS. This is necessary, particularly in summer time, as also with forms that are placed contiguous to the fire in winter, to prevent the matter from falling ouL Examining the forms oc¬ casionally that have been some time in chase should not be neglected; for if they have been imposed when the furniture was wet, the matter is very likely to fall out, from the gutters and other pieces shrinking. The quoins are generally tightened with an old cross bar, with the fire poker, or the claw end of a sheep's foot, as being heavier and more efficacious than a piece of light furniture; but the best method, after securing them in this manner, is to lay them upon the imposing stone, plane them down, and then lock them up afresh in a regular manner. See Falling Out. TILL, or Shelf.

The very bottom of the spindle_ M. It is of hardened steel, and works in the platen stud. TOKEN. Ten quires of paper.— M. It is now ten quires eighteen sheets, or half a ream of perfect paper, and contains 258 sheets. All paper for book work is given out in tokens to wet, the quires in each token are placed the same way, and the tokens arranged one upon the other, back and fore edge, for the person who has to wet the paper to take away. It has become a practice in many houses, for the ware¬ houseman to give out the paper in tokens alternately of ten quires and a half and eleven quires; this in my opinion should never be done, for I have known many serious mistakes arise from it; for instance, in a book that is a long number, a pressman who is working a sheet, will borrow a token of paper from another sheet, or three or five, or more, on account of being in better condition, or for some other cause; he takes the tokens indiscriminately as they arise, and they are replaced in the same manner; and not unfrequently ten quires and a half are returned for eleven quires borrowed ; the consequence is, that one sig¬ nature has an overplus number and the other is deficient, and has to be reprinted at the expense of the master printer; these mistakes would not occur if the paper were given out in regular tokens of ten quires eighteen sheets. TOKEN SHEET. In wetting paper the last sheet of each token is doubled down, so that the corner projects, when there is a pile of paper wetted; this projecting sheet marks the division of the pile into tokens, and is styled the token sheet. TOPS. In piling the printed sheets of a work away, after they have been dried and taken from the poles, the warehouseman takes a few sheets of each signature, and lays them at the top of the pile ; these are called Tops, and enable him, with little trouble, to deliver a copy as far as it is printed, when required, which frequently occurs in the progress of a work, without having to take down all the piles. Towns, ancient Names of. See Names. TRAFALGAR. The name of a type, the next size larger than Two Line Double Pica, and smaller than Canon. It is a size that has been introduced of late years. TRANSPOSE. In imposing, to place the pages in a wrong order, when it is said the pages are transposed: in composing, if letters, or words, or lines, do not follow in their proper order, they are said to be transposed.— M. We use the word also when we correct the arrange¬ ment, and put the pages or the matter in their proper order, by saying we have transposed the pages, the words, or the lines. TRANSPOSITION OF PAGES. Many sizes, after the white paper in a half sheet has been worked off", require some of the pages to lie transposed, before the reiteration is worked; for those sizes, see Im¬ posing. TREADING PELT. Trampling on the pelt, to make it soft and 798 TYMPAN. pliable, after it has been soaked in the pelt pot, and to get rid of the superfluous moisture, previous to knocking-up. This is usually done when the pressmen are at work, and by him who is beating. This is an inconvenient process when a man is working at half press; but it may be dispensed with; for a pelt well curried will answer equally well: it appears as if treading was the ancient practice, before the curry¬ ing iron was introduced. TUKN FOR A LETTER. It often happens that when matter runs upon sorts, especially in capitals, or some other sorts seldom used, that the compositor wants that sort the matter runs on ; wherefore he is loth to distribute letter for that sort; or perhaps his case is otherwise full. Wherefore, instead of that letter or sort, he turns a letter of the same thickness, with the foot of the shank upwards, and the face downwards; which turned letter being easy to be seen, he afterwards, when he can accommodate himself with the right sort, takes out, and puts the right letter in its room. It is also a word used jocosely in the chapel, when any of the workmen complain of want of money, or any thing else, it shall bv another workman be answered. Turn for it; viz. Make shift for it.—3/. TWENTY-FOURMO. A sheet of paper folded into twenty-four leaves, forty-eight pages, is termed twenty-fourmo. TWENTYMO. A sheet of paper folded into twenty leaves, forty pages, is ternied twentymo. TWO LINE DOUBLE PIC.\. The name of a type equal to four Small Picas, or to two Double Picas; the next size larger than Two Line (ireat Primer, and smaller than Trafalgar. It is not enumerated by Moxon in his list. See Types. TWO LINE ENGLISH. The name of a type, the next size larger than Two Line Pica, and smaller than Two Line Great Primer. It is e(|ual to two English bodies. See Types. 'rWO LINE GREAT PRIMER. The name of a typ^ the next size larger than Two Line English, and smaller than Two Line Double Pica. It is not enumerated in Moxon’s list of the sizes of types. Sec Types. TWO LINE LETTERS. Capitals that are equal to two bodies of any specific sized type. There are Two Line Pearl, Two Line Nonpa¬ reil, i'kc., increasing regularly to a Two Line Great Primer. They are used for lines in titles and jobs, being so cast that the face covers the whole of the square of the shank: they do not take so much room in depth as the regular capitals of the same sized face, and are more con¬ venient where the matter is crowded; the face of the letter having also a stronger stem, gives an additional variety in the effect. See Full- faced Letter. TWO LINE PICA. The name of a type, equal to two Picas; the next size larger than Double Pica, and smaller than Two Line English. Aloxon does not enumerate this size in his list. See Types. TYMPAN. A frame covered with parchment, on which the sheet of paper to be printed is placed. This is the outer tympan ; the inner tym- pan fits into it, and between the parchments of the two the blankets are placed, all which being run in receive the pressure of the platen, which produces the impression on the paper. Mr. T. C. Hansard took out a patent, for “ Improvements on, and Additions to, Printing Presses, and various Processes relative to Print¬ ing;” in his description of them he says, — “ My first Improvement is the Dividing-Tympans, which are capable of being added to any Printing TYMPAN. 799 Press, for the purpose of printing double-sized sheets of paper, and then dividing or cutting such double-sized paper to the ordinary size of single sheets of paper. These Tympans consist of, first, the outer Tym- pan, of dimensions according to the size/)f the Press or Work required : the additions to which are, a plate of Iron, Steel, Brass, or other suffi¬ cient substance, about seven eighths of an inch in width ; the back side of which is level, but the front side is raised in the middle, the centre part being about one fourth of an inch in thickness, and the two sides about one eighth of an inch only; along the middle or thicker part are cuts or openings, for the purpose of admitting the knife hereinafter described, leaving small parts of the plate uncut. On each side of the same, along the centre of the thinner part, is a row of small holes, at about half inch distances. This plate is fixed across the middle of the outer Tympan, to each side, being countersunk into the same.—2ndly. The inner Tym¬ pans are formed of two parts, having each part three sides, and moving on pivots attached to the outer Tympan; these inner Tympans, when shut down, are fastened in the common manner by hooks and eyes or buttons, each part when opened to adjust the blankets will incline back on the pivots. These Tympans I cover with black Linen of the most fine and even texture, rolled and hot calendered: taking a sufficient length in one piece to cover the one half of both Tympans, then folding it in the middle, and laying each fold along the side-rebate of the Plate over the holes, I then firmly attach it thereto by strong sewing through the holes; I then turn one part of the fold of the linen over the outer, and the other part over the inner Tympans, and sew, or otherwise fasten, the same around the iron work, or sides and ends of the Tympans, in the closest and neatest manner, letting the hooks, eyes, or buttons, and pivots, through the linen, and keeping clear the openings for the point screws by carrying the linen on the inside, in the same manner as in putting on common parchment; the same operation then takes place for the other half of the Tympans. I then take pieces of Velvet, Velveteen, or other uniform soft substance, which I attach, with the pile or softest side outwards, to the linen already described as being fastened to the Tympans, by sewing or pasting it to the outside of the outer Tympan, to receive the Tympan-sheet, and by this means to give a beautiful and regular impression of the Type: which mode of covering Tympans I also apply to common Presses. “ The Divider or Knife is made of a plate of Iron or Steel, about three-fourths of an inch wide, turned down at a right angle on one side, about one-fourth of an inch in width, and in length sufficient for the width of the sheet of paper intended to be cut, and this must be fixed so as to be exactly corresponding to the openings in the Plate before de¬ scribed ; the part so turned down is cut into angular teeth, about a quarter of an inch from point to point, each tooth having two chisel-like edges, formed by being filed and dressed on the outside of the part so turned down; on the inside of the angle the teeth are to be finished all along fair and smooth. One or more of the teeth are then to be filed out at intervals, corresponding with the parts of the Plate left uncut. The Pivots or Joints of the Tympans and Frisket being accurately ad¬ justed, the Knife is then fixed to the Frisket (at each end by screw or other connection) so that when the Frisket is turned down on the Tym¬ pans the Knife shall freely enter the Plate at the openings before described. The Plate and Knife now occupying the usual place of Point Screws and Points, those necessary articles are removed to the centre of each half of the Tympans above and below the Plate. If 800 TYMPAN JOINTS. wished, the positions of the Plate and Knife may be reversed, by fixing the Plate to the Frisket, and Knife to the Tympan, or a Plate both on Frisket and Tympan, and Knife to the Forme, or Table of the Press, but not with equal certainty of operation. All these parts being properly adjusted, the mode of application is as follows: — For making ready a Forme or Sheet, the Tympan-sheet is drawn on the Tympan, as in the ordinary mode, and the Frisket pasted and cut out; but for working the first side of the Paper, the Knife must be displaced (or, which is some¬ times preferable, two Friskets used, to be exchanged, one having the Knife, and one without). The whole of the paper being worked on one side without the Knife, the Knife is then replaced, or the Friskets exchanged, and the Reiteration proceeded with; the sheet will then be divided exactly along the centre, excepting at the parts where the por¬ tions of the Plate have been left uncut, and the teeth filed out of the Knife, as before described; which uncut parts answer the important pur¬ pose of keeping the double-sheet adhering as one, for the Pressman who may be jmltiny, to draw it otf the Tympans over to the Rank, where it is finally [)arted by the other man who is btating, while looking over his heap, when six or seven sheets are accumulated, by means of a gentle pressure with each hand at each end of the heap. The white paper, or first side, is worked with four points, placed opposite to each other in the middle fold of each half of the double sheet, but fur the Reiteration the two lower points are taken otf, and the sheet kept in register by the two upper ones only. For cutting the sheet into more parLs than two, I ex¬ tend the same principle by placing knives and plates in various positions, or at right angles with each other." TY.Ml’AN CLOTH. .V fine and even linen cloth, about an inch or two larger on ever}’ side than the paper worked on : this cloth is wetted, and the water wrung out again, so that it remains only moist: it is laid on the tympan instead of a tympan sheet, the under sides of the corners pasted to the tympan, and worked upon as a tympan sheet for the reiter¬ ation. It is used to save paper, and it is repeatedly washed to clear it of the ink that sets otf on iu — M. It is not used now, but set-off sheets are substituted for it. TYMI’AX HOOKS. Small hooks fixed on the upper side of the outer tympan, which assist in keeping the inner tympan in its place. There arc four of them, two on the off side and two on the near side, screwed to the tympan, hut not so tight as to prevent Uiem turning round on the screws as centres; there arc four eyes screwed on the inner tympan. opposite to them, and the hooks turn into tlu“se eyes and draw the sides of the tympans together, and assist in tightening the jiarchment of the inner tympan, anil prevent its moving. In iron presses, instead of eyes, buttons are used on the inner tympan, and the hooks turn round them under the heads, and produce the same effect. TY.MPAN .lOINTS. The joints by which the outer tympan is at¬ tached to the carriage, on which it works. They are riveted to the bottom end of the tympan by one of the sides, and the other side has an upright notch cut in it: at the back of the hind part of the coffin are fixed two projecting screws, at the same distance from each other as the notches in the joints; these screws have a square plate or washer on each of them, and a flat-headed female screw; the tympan joints are slipped over these screws by the notches, so that the)' bestride each screw, and are confined by the female screw and washer. The tympan can thus be adjusted to any height, by loosening the screws and sliding the joints up or down. The pin that connects the two parts of the joints is rYPES. 801 stout, and made to slip out -when necessary. These joints should be particularly well made, and have no play; if they have, it will cause maculing and doubles in the-work. TYMPAN SHEET. A sheet of paper pasted on the tympan at the corners, as a standing mark to lay all the other sheets exactly even upon, while the white paper is working. — M. It is now also used for the reiteration. When a pressman has laid a form on the press stone, and fixed it in its situation, he takes a sheet of its own paper, or a sheet of some other paper of the same size, and folds it exactly, so that the folds shall be his guide for laying it on the form; he then lays a sheet of waste paper on the form to preserve his tympan sheet clean, and places it truly on the form over the other, by means of the folds falling on the middle of the crosses and feeling the types through it with his fingers, so that the margin at both sides of the sheet shall be precisely equal, as also at both ends; he wets his tympan slightly, to take out the indentions made by the types of a preceding form, and generally rubs a very small quantity of paste on the parchment, being careful that there are no lumps; he then turns the tympan down upon the form, runs in the carriage, and gives it a slight pull, to cause it to adhere to the tympan; he then pastes the four corners down, but tears off a piece of the near bottom corner, to prevent him catching hold of it, in the quick taking the printed sheet off the tympan, when working. TYPES. The letters, marks, and signs, cast in metal, the larger sizes of wood, with which printing is executed. The forms and proportions of types in the Roman character have un¬ dergone every change that the most capricious fancy could suggest. We have types of beautiful shapes and symmetrical proportions, but our type founders have diverged, for the sake of variety, gradually to a fatter face till the lines have become so thick that the letter has hardly any white in its interior, and when printed is nearly all black, with the outline only to guide us in knowing what it is; and on the contrary they have gradually gone to the other extreme, and produced what are called skele¬ ton letters, which are formed of a fine uniform line ; we have antique, the line being also of uniform thickness, but strong and heavy; we have letters with the strong lines and the fine lines reversed ; we have tall narrow letters, and we have letters which look as if they had been pressed down, till they were considerably broader than they were high; we have letters drawn in perspective, with their edges towards us, as if they were marching away; and as for Italic, we have it now in¬ clining to the left as well as to the right. The Modern Gothic or Black letter has not escaped this rage for change and variety, and we have forms introduced into it which would have puzzled our ancestors to know what they were meant for when the Modern Gothic was the standard character. These changes and varieties have not been introduced as improve¬ ments either in the forms or proportions of the letters, but to produce variety and what is styled effect. The scale of sizes of the respective types can only be looked at and received as an approximation to truth, as the letter founders themselves acknowledge; in fact there is no precise standard, for they cast ac¬ cording to the orders they receive from their customers: the following scale is a proof of this; Mr. Hansard, in his Typographia, gives the number of lines of each size in a foot as cast in the foundery of Messrs. Caslon and Livermore, which does not agree with the one I now give, which was supplied to me by Mr. Livermore in 1839, at my request, 3 F 802 TYPES. avowedly to publish, each fount having been measured to insure correct¬ ness; it was submitted to Mr. Caslon personally in August 18+1, before printing, and revised, so that every precaution has been taken to prevent a mistake. The scale of the foundery of Messrs. V. and J. Figgins, as also that of Messrs. Thorowgood and Besley, were kindly furnished me by the respective houses. I have also given Moxon’s scale of sizes, which is the oldest that has been ])ublished, and which will show the variations in the depth of body which types have undergone. He pre¬ faces it by saying, “ And that the reader may the better understand the sizes of these several Jiodies, 1 shall give him tJiis Table following; wherein is set down the number of each lioily that is conUiined in one Foot .”—Set Nicks. dumber oj lints oj tht dijff'trtnl sized types contained in one foot. * i o 9 M 0 X c o 5 9 C . 1^. u c « C H B O • fc 5 11 < Diamund _ 20+ 205 210 20+ Pearl 18+ 178 180 18+ 178 Ruby — 186 165 163 166 Nonpareil 150 1++ 11 + 1++ 1++ Emerald — — 128 — 128 Minion — 122 122 122 122 Brevier 112 111 107 112 111 Bourgeois — 102 101^ 10.3 102 Long Primer ‘>2 89 90 92 89 Small Pica . — 83 82 82 83 Pica 75 72 72^ 72 72 English GG til 6+ f)l + 6+ Great Primer 50 51 51 52 51 Paragon — + H + fi — ++A Double Pica 38 + lj + l| + 1 + l| Two Line Pica — 36 36 36 36 Two Line English . 33 32 32 32+ 32 Two Line Great Primer — 25+ 25+ 26 25+ I'wo Line Double Pica — 20^ 20| 20+ 20| Trafalgar — 20 20 — 20 Canon 18 18 18 18 It thus appears that in 16S3, the date of Moxon’s work, there were only ten sizes of types with specific names, while at the present time wc have twenty-one: the following are our additional sizes — Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Minion, Bourgeois, Small Pica, Paragon, Two Line Pica, Two Line Great Primer, Two Line Double Pica, and Trafalgar. Canon is the largest size with a specific name; all above Canon are designated according to the number of Picas in the depth of the body; thus the next size larger is Five Line Pica, then Six Line Pica, and so on indefinitely. Twenty-four Line Pica is about the largest letter that is cast in metal, those above that size are generally cut in wood, as also any peculiar shaped letters. The German letter founders cast the face of letters in metal to a much larger size, and mount them on wood. iMiuion used to be half an English ; it has ceased to be so, and Emerald TYPES. 803 has taken its place, for English is now equal to two Emeralds : this latter is a size that was introduted about two years ago. By an examination of the preceding table the relative proportions of the different sizes to each other will be ascertained; but to facilitate the reference they are here brought under one view. Diamond=:Half Bourgeois, also=|^ Great Primer=:^ Two Line Great Primer. Pearl=Half Long Primer, also=;i Paragon. Ruby=Half Small Pica, also=;|^ Double Pica=^ Two Line Double Pica. Nonpareil = Half Pica. Emeralds Half English. Bourgeois=Half Great Primer, also = 2 Diamonds. Long Primer = Half Paragon, also=2 Pearls. Small Pica=Half Double Pica, also=2 Rubies. Pica = 2 Nonpareils. English=2 Emeralds. Great Primer=:2 Bourgeois, also=4' Diamonds. Paragon=2 Long Primers, also = 4 Pearls. Double Pica=2 Small Picas, also = 4 Rubies. Two Line Pioa=2 Picas, also=4 Nonpareils. Two Line English = 2 English, also=4 Emeralds. Two Line Great Primer=2 Great Primers, also=4 Bourgeois = 8 Diamonds. Two Line Double Pica=:2 Double Picas, also=4 Small Picas=8 Rubies. Canon=:2 Two Line Picas, also=4 Picas=8 Nonpareils. It thus appears that Minion, Brevier, and Trafalgar, may be classed as irregular Ijodied letters, for they bear no specific regular proportion to any other size. Minion was formerly half an English, but it has varied in the depth of its body from that proportion ; some of the letter founders have in¬ troduced a new size between Minion and Nonpareil, and called it Emerald, and made this new type half an English ; I think it would have been a preferable measure to have restored Minion to its original place. This want of uniformity in the depth of body of the respective sizes is much to be regretted, as it causes serious inconvenience in a printing office, and might be avoided by the several letter founders agreeing among themselves and deciding what should be the standard for each size, and firmly refuse to cast a new fount to any other size, reserving the present variations for imperfections only, till the founts in use were worn out and discarded ; we should thus gradually approach to uni¬ formity ; and whatever variations there might be in the face of the letter, still the quadrats and the spaces might be used to any fount of the same sized letter, without any risk of injuring the appearance of- the work, and this would frequently be found of great advantage in poetry, figure work, and in light open matter. This evil is not confined to England, but exists to a great extent in both France and Germany, and Fournier, an eminent letter founder who wrote on the subject, describes the evil,* and explains the remedy which he invented and adopted, in his “ Manuel Typographique,” published at Paris, in two volumes 12mo. 1764, of which the following is a trans¬ lation. “ This article requires a particular explanation, because it is novel and 804 types. obscure. I have placed it here in order to show the new proportions which I have given to the hody of the characters, by the defined measures which I call Typographical Points. “ The last regulation of the Librar}', made in 1725, fixed the height to paper at ten and a half geometric lines. This rule is as easy to practise as it is to give; but such was not the case when it was desirable by this regulation to establish some rules in order to fix the strength of the body of the characters. At the time when this regulation was made, apparently no person was found competent to give correct ideas on that point, which was very important, as it would operate to correct abuse, and to give order and precision where there had never been any before. In default of j)roper information, a master printer gave as a rule the characters which he found in liis own printing otfice, with all their imperfections. The law which was then obtained, not being founded on any principles, has consequently remained unexecuted, which is the reason why the characters have never had fixed and accurate sizes, and that this disorder still remains as great as it was formerly. “ In article lix. of this llegulation, it is given, as a ft body, that Petit- canon is egual to two Saint-Anyustins; Gros-parangon is egitul to a Cicero and a Petit-romain, ifc., but the size that the Saint-Augustin, the Cicero, or the Petit-romain ought to have is not given, in order to make together the Petit-canon or (iros-parangon. Consequently this law can always be evaded, and it is evaded whenever any one wishes, without bluing liable to any i)enalty, because one person might make a body of Saint-.Augustin more slender than another, and the Petit-canon might be cast to this double thickness, by which means the law would be fulfilled. Another person might make the body of Saint-Augustin more or less strong, and from two of these bodies he will cast a Petit-canon : here again the law is fulfilled, although in a spirit opposed to that of the Regu¬ lation. 'riuis confusion is perpetuated, until at length it gives one some trouble to make the distinction of the two bodies, of which the larger is veak and the smaller strong. It hapiiens then that the characters of the same body ^ary more or less, ami when two such are found in a printing office, the workmen mix the spaces and quadrats together, which sj)oil3 the founts. “ The Regulation has provided for this default, it will be said, when it ordains that there should be sent to the founders a certain number of letters of each body, in order that they might agree under pain of fine. But these letters which are thus proposed at hazard, and which are never given, would not have remedied the evil which it is wished to avoiil. These pretended rules, instead of causing order and precision, on the contrary augment the confusion, by multiplying the parts with¬ out necessit)'. From thence it comes that the bodies of Petit-canon, Gros-parangon, Gros-romain, Cicero, Philosophic, Gaillarde, Mignone, are foutul, according to the Regulation, without double bodies, on Avhich two-line letters can be made, of which nevertheless none of the bodies can do without. Here then are seven or eight bodies with¬ out names, useless for every other purpose, and with which the printing otfice is overloaded. Moreover, these combinations of the body of a Cicero and a Petit-romain to make a Gros-parangon, of a Petit-texte and Petit-romain to make a Gros-roraain, of a Petit-texte and a Nonpareille to make a Saint-Augustin, truly proclaim little experience and capacity on the part of those who proposed them. The defect has been per¬ ceived, but no one has tried to find a reniedj^, and that because the printers, who are alone consulted in this affair, are not type founders TYPES, 805 sufficient to snake proper experiments, and to give rules to a part of the trade which they do not exercise, and of which often they know only the name. “ This then is what engaged me to disentangle this chaos, and to give to these matters an order which they have never before had. I think I have had the happiness to succeed in it, with an exactness and precision which leaves nothing to be desired, by the invention of Typographical Points. It is nothing more than the division of the bodies of characters by equal and determinate degrees, which I call Points. By this means, the degrees of distance and the affinity of the bodies may be known exactly. They can be combined together in the same manner as nu¬ merical signs; and as two and two make four, add two, it will become six, double all this, you will have twelve, &c., in the like manner a Nonpareille, which is equal to six points, added to another Nonpareille will make together a Cicero, which has twelve points, add again a Nonpareille, you will have eighteen points or a Gros-romain, double all this, and it will make thirty-six points, or a Trismegiste, which has that number ; and in like manner the others, as may be seen by a reference to the Table of Proportions which follows. “ In order to combine the bodies, it will be sufficient to know the number of Typographical Points of which they are composed. These points or given sizes should be invariable, so that they may serve as guides in the printing office, as the foot, inch, and line are used in geometry. For this purpose, I have fixed these points at the exact sizes they ought to liave, in the scale which is at the head of the Table of Proportions ; and that their exactness may be relied upon invariably, I have contrived an instrument which I call Prototype. “ The invention of these points is the first service which I rendered to printing, in 1737- Obliged then to commence a long, painful, and laborious career by the graving of all the punches necessary to form the establishment of my foundery, I found no rule established which coidd guide me in fixing the body of the characters which I had to make, and I was thus under the necessity of forming them for myself. “ The table exhibits at the top a fixed and definite scale, which I divide into two inches, the inches into twelve lines, and the line into six of these typographical points; the total is 144 points. The first small divi¬ sions are of two points, which is the exact distance which there is from a Petit-texte to a Petit-romain, or from that to a Cicero, &c. The scale contains in the whole twelve bodies of Cicero. It is necessary to measure by this gauge the number of points which I assign to each of the bodies. These measures, taken truly for each body separately, and verified on the Prototype, will form altogether a general eorrespondence for all the bodies of characters.” “ Of Height to Paper. The height of the characters called height to paper, that is to say, from the foot to the face which leaves its impression on the paper, is fixed by regulations of the book trade, and noted down by them, on the 28th February 1723, at ten and a half geometric lines. This law was established for rendering all the French characters con¬ formable in their parts, in order that, passing from one printing office to another, by the death of the proprietor or otherwise, there might be no disparity among them. This law, however, though wise and good, is but partially executed, many printers having adhered to the height of the characters which they found already in their offices. Some countries, as Flanders, the Lyonnois, and others, which have the characters much higher by the ordonnance of the Porte, have preserved them thus, so that B06 TYPES. from these causes we see the characters varying from ten and a quarter to eleven lines and a half high. Those who have preserved tliem in this last way are among the dupes, because the characters which are accord¬ ing to the ordonnance cost a hundred pistoles, while those that have more metal in them are worth eleven hundred francs, because being one eleventh higher are one eleventh heavier. “ Tlie officers of the chambres syndicals have neglected this part of the regulation ; thus nothing is more common than to see in every printing office, the characters some a little too high and some a little too low. This makes it necessary to put the highest upon the tympans of the press within the places where the lines are too low. Sometimes many folds of paj)er are put under these low types upon the stone of the press, in order to raise the low parts up to the level of the high ones. I'lds confusion does not originate with the founder, who is obliged to conform to the will of those for whom he works. Three parts of the French printers, at least, liave their printing offices regulated according to the measure of ten lines and a half; and though there may be little inequalities which leave some of the characters a little too high and some a little too low, yet when there is oidy this slight difference, perhaps being sometimes but the thickness of a jiaper, the inequality is very inconsiderable. I'o avoid this confusion, and to make the founderies preserve one standard to regulate the height, ami ])reserve it always the same, rests with the master. There are two ways : the first is a thin plate of copper or iron on which is made a notch of ten lines and a half high, and the other, which is in greater use and more convenient, is making a form of justification.” The French have varied from Fournier’s standard, and have intro¬ duced fresh sizes since he published his work; when Fertel wrote, in 1723, he gave a list of nineteen sizes, but at the present time they have twenty-five; they are also changing their names, and now designate them by numbers, as uill be perceived by the following list, which is copied from the specimen book of De la Tarbc, of Paris, 1835, to which 1 have affixed the number of points assigned to them by Fournier. Cinq, ou Parisienne . k-fS 5 Six, ou Nonpareille Six et demi Sept, ou Mignonne 7 Sept et demi, ou Petit-Texte . 8 Huit, ou Gaillarde 9 Neuf, ou Petit-Komaiii 10 l)ix, ou Philosophic . 11 Onze, OTi Cicero 12 Treize, ou Saint-Augustin 14 Quatorze, ou Gros-Texte 16 Seize, ou Gros-Romain 18 , Dix-huit, ou Petit-Paraugoii . 20 Vingt, ou Gros-Parangon 22 Vingt-deux, ou Palestine 24 Vingt-six, ou Petit-Canon 28 Trente-trois, ou Trismegisfte . 36 Quarante, ou Gros-Canon 44 ' Cinquante-six, ou Double-Canon . 56 ' TYPES. 807 Soixante-six?, ou Deux Points de Trismegiste. Quatre-vingt, ou Deux Points de Gros-Canon. Quatre-vingt-huit, ou Huit Cicero. Cent dix, ou Dix Cicero. Cent-trente-deux, ou Douze Cicero. Cent-soixante-cinq, Quinze Cicero. The German letter founders vary still more than the English or the French, for there is no standard body in Germany, every printing office has its varieties ; the height is equally very different, but generally much higher than the French types. The German scale is formed by dividing their Petit, a size between our Brevier and Bourgeois, into four lines, so that each additional number is one fourth of their Petit. The names of many of the sizes also vary in different parts of Germany. The list that I give, with the number of lines to each size, I was favoured with by Mr. Edward Haenel, of Magdeburg, an eminent printer of extensive business; I have other lists, of letter founders, in different parts of Ger¬ many, but I do not think it necessary to insert more than one. The German letter founders have types for printing maps, with which they form the line of the sea coast, with all its irregularities, its promon¬ tories, its bays, &c., the boundary lines, and the rivers. I had a map, printed in this manner, sent to me from Germany, which is very clever, and shows great ingenuity in the execution. The names of German types, with the number of lines in each size. 1.

The Italian types are of a rather less body than the corresponding F.nglish types, but I have not been able to ascertain the precise degree of variation. I was favoured with this list by Mr. And. Pons, a printer at Parma, who originally belonged to the establishment of the celebrated printer Uodoni. The Foreign Monthly Review for June, 1839, states that a type founder of Clermont, named Colson, has obtained a ])atent for a new material for printing types, which is harder, capable of more resistance, and yet less expensive than the ordinary composition of lead and anti¬ mony. It is well known, that types cast from the latter soon become worn, especially since the introduction of machine-printing. Colson asserts that the material is so hard that the types themselves will serve for punches in striking matrices, and that it will last ten years, without being more worn than the usual comj)osition is in one year.

The Gregorian Plain Chant is governed by two elefs, the Ut clef, and the Fa clef; which correspond to the tenor and base clefs in modern music. Ut Clef. Fa Clef. VISORUM. 809 The use of these' clefs is to point out the progression of tones and semi¬ tones, and to determine the key or tone of the chant, which is com¬ monly contained in a staff of four lines; but as it frequently happens that the music exceeds that compass, the clefs necessarily change their places on the staff to give a greater scope to the chant; therefore on whatsoever line of the staff the Ut clef is placed, that line is called Ut, the rest of the notes following in the same progression. The same rule applies to the Fa clef. ut re mi fa sol la si ut. The bars which nearly cross the staff, are used to separate the notes sung to each word; the bars which entirely cross the staff are used over some period in the reading ; the double bar is placed at the end of a strain or verse. The diamond shaped note is half the length of the square note; the notes with the tails are double the length, or equal in time to two square notes, (but these must not be mistaken for notes which, having tails, are only meant to tie them to other notes higher or lower on the staff.) A dot placed after a note increases its value one half. Sharps are not used in plain chant. Flats and naturals have the same power as in modern music.

Therefore pricking I the point of the visorum, most commonly upon the border or frame of I the case on the left hand about the & box, they fold the leaf of copy they compose by, so as the bottom of it may rest upon the square shoulder near the bottom of the visorum ; then with two pieces of scaleboard tied together at one end, they clasp both the copy and visorum between these two scaleboards, which two scaleboards pinch the copy and 810 WELSH.' visorum fast enough to keep the copy in its place, and at the same time also serves for an index to direct the eye to every line, as the compositor moves it downward.—3/. This article is not used now; though it appears to me, from Moxon’s account, to be both useful and convenient. W. WASH. If a workman is in the habit of telling improbable tales, or of asserting falsehoods, as the chapel does not allow the lie direct to be given, neither do any choose to get into a personal quarrel by doing it, it is usual, in order to express the general disbelief, to wash him, as it is termed ; that is, each person with a piece of furniture, or some other sub¬ stance, will strike repeatedly and quickly upon the front of his frame, upon the ledge of his lower case, or upon his bulk ; and this being done by every person in the room, where there are a great number employed, it raises such a loud drumming as is deafening, more particularly w hen they give what they call a “ good ” wash : this is customary both in the composing room and the press room. I'or the old manner of doing this, sce.VsciENT Customs. AVASII THE FORM. If a form gets foul in working, the pressmen will take it off the press and brush it over with lye, and after that rince it with clean water, to remove the foulness. He also washes the form when tliQ given number is all printed. — 3/. W.VSTE. The surplus sheets of a work. . .\fter a work has been finished at press and dried, it is gathered, col¬ lated, the gatherings folded and pressed, and then booked, if it contain more gatherings than one ; and when the regular number of copies has been made up, the surplus sheets, which vary in number, are tied up in a bundle, and termed Waste : out of this waste deficient sheets are suj)- plied, and damaged sheets exchanged. It is always delvered to the pub¬ lisher with the last copies of the work. W.VYZ GOOSE. .\ stubble goose.— Bailct/. Called Way Goose, and so spelt by .^Ioxon.

WE.VK INK. iS^rc Soft Ink. —3/. In common work, where des¬ patch is requisite, weak ink is used; it distributes with more facility than strong ink, and enables the pressmen to make a greater riddance. It receives its name from the varnish not being made so tenacious as that for better ink. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 5 & 6 W. 4. c. 63. § 31. “ And be it enacted.

J, q, X, and z, are not properly Welsh letters, nor are they wanted in words purely Welsh. K and v occur frequently in old Welsh, but are now generally dis¬ used ; the place of the former is supplied by c, which always has the hard sound, and that of the latter byjtl In addition to the common accented letters, the Welsh requires w and y to be accented likewise; as, gwr, a man ; ty, a house. Of the twenty-one Welsh consonants twelve are immutable, namely, ch, dd, f,ff, ng, h, I, n, ph, r, s, th ; the remaining nine, b, c, d, g, ll, m, p, rh, t, are mutable. These are divisible into three classes of three letters each. The first, containing c, t, p, is susceptible of three kinds of modification, viz. the obtuse, the liquid, and the aspirate; the second class, comprising g, d, b, is affected by two kinds, the obtuse and the liquid ; and the third, comprising ll, m, rh, is susceptible of the obtuse form only. The following table will show at one view the various changes of the mutable initial consonants: — Priraitive Letters. Obtuse. Liquid.

On the bottom side of the two cross bearers in the middle of a frame, on which the inner ends of the lower cases rest, there is fre- (juently a bottom nailed of thin deal; this, when the ends of the cases arc close together, forms a recej)tacle in which the compositor puts copy and other articles, and it is named a Well. To obtain access to it he slides one of the ca.ses a little away from the other. W’ET'riNG P.VPER. In (juoting my ohl j)ressman’s observations again, it will be perceived that he is speaking of the practice when pelt balls were in use. “ When a pressman is engaged to work in a strange office, if there be no balls for him, he puts an old and a new pelt into the pelt pot, and, while his pelts are soaking, he in(|uires whether he has to wet paj)cr or not; if he has to wet it, he iloes it in a large trough lined with lead, con¬ taining clean water. lie holds the middle of the back of each quire in one hand, and the fore edge with the other hand, and draws it quickly through the water, the back first; lays it on a clean wrapper (which is laid on a clean paper board); opens part of the quire, leaves that part on the board, and draws the remainder of the quire, and all the other ([uires in the same proportion, through the water as often as necessary-, till he has wet all the heap; then he places another paper board on the top of the heap, and puts sufficient weight on it; in this state it continues till the paper is all properly damped, by the moisture becoming diffused through the whole heap, except it be for fine work, when he turns the paper as often as he thinks necessary, pressing it at each turning; and common work would look better if the paper were turned. “ Paper for dift’erenf works being of various qualities, it is impossible to form a regular judgment of how many dips in each quire all sorts of paper require; therefore the wetter must be cautious in examining, while Metting, whether each sort is of a soft, or spongy-, middling, hard, or liarsh nature; also to consider whether it be for a light or a heavy form, and dip each sort accordingly.” In large establishments the pressmen do not wet the paper, but there is one or more persons appointed to that duty solely, who also turn it and press it, so that it is delivered to the pressmen to print, more uni¬ formly in good condition, than where they wet it. See Token. Token Sheet. WINTER. 813 I I I I I I I i WHEEL. Also called girt wheel, and drum; a cylinder of elm wood, with two flat broad grooves turned in it, on which the two girts wind and unwind alternately, as the carriage is run in and out. It is fixed on the spit, and one end of each girt is nailed to it; the other ends are fas¬ tened, the one that runs the carriage in to the end of the coffin, and the other to the fore end of the plank. The diameter of the wheel varies according to the size of the press. WHITE LINE. A line of quadrats.— M. So it is usually under¬ stood at present; yet it frequently happens that quadrats are not in suf¬ ficient quantity to use for white lines, even for the bottoms of the pages; reglet of a proper thickness is then substituted for quadrats, and some¬ times leads, but these should never be used for this purpose — for a volume or a pamphlet may be wanted in a great hurry in the same measure, and then an inconvenience may arise from the leads being blocked up in an unnecessary manner. WHITE PAGE. A page that no matter comes in. — M. WHITE PAPER. Although the first form be printed off, yet pressmen erroneously call that heap white paper, till the reiteration be printed.— M. This application of the term is now wearing away; and generally speaking, it is only used for paper not printed upon ; when the pressmen are printing the first form of a sheet, or the first side of a half sheet, they say they are working the Avhite paper. WHITE PAPER REGISTER. Pulling an impression without ink, or with a sheet of waste paper between the form and the paper for the work, for the purpose of ascertaining that the furniture is right. This is a good old custom, and it is a pity that it is now so seldom practised, as it would prevent those mistakes of wrong furniture which occasionally occur in the white paper form, and when this happens, which I have known at different times, the only remedy is, either to cancel what has been printed, or to alter the reiteration form to make it register with that which is printed, to the disfigurement of the book when it is bound. Whole Press. iNee Full Press.— M. WIDE SPACING, is when en quadrats, or two thick spaces, are used between the words. Wilkins, Beata. See Donations. WINTER. A solid piece of wood, generally elm, similar to the head of a press, mortised into the cheeks below the carriage and the long ribs, and on which they rest. I would recommend, contrary to the general practice, that in wooden presses the winter should lie solid in the mortises of the cheeks, and have no spring; and that all the spring should be in the head, which would not affect the perpendicular descent of the platen. This m.ethod of con¬ structing a press would be found advantageous in all cases ; but more particularly in one-pull presses, in which the platens are large : — For it must be obvious, where an uniform impression is meant to be obtained from types, by means of the perpendicular descent of a body with a plane surface, that this surface and the surface of the types should be parallel to each other, and that every variation from these parallels must affect the equality of the pressure. It being a necessary consequence, that the surface of the types should be horizontal; it will be equally clear, that every departure from this horizontal line will destroy the parallelism of the two surfaces, and pre¬ vent an equal pressure on all their parts. One part of the carriage of a press lies on the winter, the other end resting on, and confined to, the forestay, which is fixed to the floor, and 814 WORK WITH A FIGURE. cannot g;ve Jivay ; the coffin, in which is the press stone, lies on the car¬ riage ; and on tlie press stone the types are placed. Now, when great pressure is applied to the types, to produce an impression, it causes the winter to give way, which immediately disturbs the horizontal plane of tiie types, and destroys the parallel between them and the face of the platen, and causes an unequal pressure, besides straining the cords of the platen, the platen itself, and all the parts connected with it, to the injury of the workmanship, and of the whole machine ; all which would be avoided by the winter being laid solid in the mortises of the cheeks, and the carriage and ribs justified by a level. It would also be attended with another advantage, — not being so liable to slur iii running in ; the inner tympan not being so close to the platen. This principle is equally applicable to iron presses, as well as to wooden ones ; arid will tend to preserve them a longer time in good con¬ dition. WOODEN RIBS. That part of the frame in a wooden press on which the long I'ibs are fastened; in the middle they lie on the winter where the under resistance to the pressure is, and are kept in their ])lacc by the summer; and at the fore end they are supported by the fore stay; it is necessary that they should be perfectly level. WOOL C.VHDS. Matle with strong wire; one of which is fastened to two pieces of wood that go across the wool hole, and the other has two open handles fixed to the back of it, for the purpose of carding the wool with which the biUls are stuffed. WOOL HOLE. A place boxed off sometimes under a stair case, or in any situation where the dust will not affect the press room, or other departments of the business—in which the wool is carded uherewith to make the balls. The wool is kept in the box, over which two jiieccs of wood are stretcheil across and fastened down, lowest in the front; on these one of the cards is fixctl. In the act of carding the wool the dust and ri fuse fall into the box, ami are thus jirevcnted from being trampled about. Wool IIolk. The workhouse. When a compositor or pressman is reduced by age or illness to take refuge in the workhouse, it is said be is in the ]Vool Hole. WORKED, or Woiiked-off. When a job, or the sheet of a work is jirinted, it is said to be Worked, or \\ orked-off. See Off. WORK WITH A FIGURE. In printing offices where there arc a number of presses employed, it is usual to distinguish them by numbers; as 1st press, 2d press, &c.; and the pressmen put a figure into each form they work, corresponding to the number of their press, for the ])urpose of ascertaining readily at which press a sheet was printed in case of bad workmanship, or any accident; and in general pressmen are subject to a fine if they work without a figure, or with a wrong one; but w hen the same press works both the forms of a sheet, it is not necessary to have a figure in more than one form. The figure used to be placed regularly in a white line at the bottom of an even page, about four ems from the fore edge: it was placed in an even page that it might not tuislead the bookbinder; and always in a full page that did not finish a paragraph.

A new press has just been introduced to public notice (August 1841), under the patronage of Count Rosen, a Swedish nobleman, but being too late for insertion in the alpha¬ betical order, I give a notice of it at the end. There are two of these presses now at work in the extensive establishment of Messrs. William Clowes and Sons, under the name of “ The Scandinavian Self-inking Press,” invented by Mr. C. A. Holm, of Stockholm, who has taken out a patent for it. It is a press with a platen which descends perpendicularly, and at its regular rate of working produces 550 impressions in an hour, which I have ascertained by personal inspection. It requires two boys to each press to lay on and take off the paper, and to turn down and raise the tympan, and one superintendent is fully competent to attend to two presses. By dispensing with woollen blankets in the tympans and sub¬ stituting paper, it produces fine impressions, as the specimens published of large and finely executed engravings on wood testify. There is a contrivance which causes a rest or pause when the pressure is at its maximum, and gives time for the ink to be firmly attached to the paper. The motive power may be either hand labour or steam, those in use at Messrs. Clowes’s establishment are worked by steam; they do not occupy more room than any other press that will print paper of the same dimensions, and are very simple in their construction. The inking apparatus is so arranged that the distributing rollers have three or four different motions, the object and effect of which are to produce a perfectl}'^ equal and uniform distribution of the ink. They are manu¬ factured by Messrs. Braithwaite, Milner, and Co., engineers, in the New Road. THE END. Londok: PrinU'J by A. Spottiswooue, New-SlrcuUSqunrc. fc-**.* - Szyif- /
