“This grand journal, the oldest in the country, maintains its place in the van against all comers. Its typographic appearance is unequalled in the world of printing, and a careful study of its peerless specimen pages will do more to advance the beautiful in job composition and presswork than all the tawdry imitations of lithography, and badly designed and worse executed rule work that has been thrust upon a suffering art from Caxton to to-day. Its editorial management is as good as its typography is handsome and artistic.”—_Springer’s History and Mystery of Printing._

Money spent for good books is well invested; and in this day of typographical progress, no active-minded printer can really afford not to have the above works in his office library. Address all orders to

Transcriber’s Note

List of changes made to the text:

Page 273, “pressman” changed to “pressmen” (Many pressmen take a dozen proofs)

Page 358, “Felonius” changed to “Felonious” (Felonious intent.)

Letter sounds in the alphabet tables were usually but not always italicised—italic font has been added where it seemed needed to standardise.

Inconsistent use of hyphens and old-fashioned spelling are left unchanged.

ന is used to represent a symbol described as “the Gothic M”. ⊏ and ⊐ are used to represent the primitive square-cornered forms of the Roman numeral Ⅽ and its reverse Ↄ.

₰ is used for the proofreader’s “dele” mark, which inexplicably still doesn’t have its own Unicode codepoint.

[symb] is used for characters which have no sufficiently close Unicode equivalent, and these are included as illustrations in the HTML version.
