ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This series of Typographic Text-books is the result of the splendid co-operation of a large number of firms and individuals engaged in the printing business and its allied industries in the United States of America.

The Committee on Education of the United Typothetae of America, under whose auspices the books have been prepared and published, acknowledges its indebtedness for the generous assistance rendered by the many authors, printers, and others identified with this work.

While due acknowledgment is made on the title and copyright pages of those contributing to each book, the Committee nevertheless felt that a group list of co-operating firms would be of interest.

The following list is not complete, as it includes only those who have co-operated in the production of a portion of the volumes, constituting the first printing. As soon as the entire list of books comprising the Typographic Technical Series has been completed (which the Committee hopes will be at an early date), the full list will be printed in each volume.

The Committee also desires to acknowledge its indebtedness to the many subscribers to this Series who have patiently awaited its publication.

COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, UNITED TYPOTHETAE OF AMERICA.

Footnotes:

[1] In old or much-used fonts to which additions have been made after the first supply, the new letters, being cast later in a different mold, may often show a difference in the position or the number of nicks. In cases of this kind the apprentice should observe carefully and inquire before deciding that a type with a different nick does not belong to the font.

[2] The small letters are called lower-case by printers, because they are commonly kept in the lower case of a pair on the case-stand.

[3] The period, comma, hyphen, apostrophe, and occasionally some other character (such as the $) are often the same in both roman and italic fonts that are intended as companion faces.

[4] Job fonts are usually put up by founders in two sections, one containing capitals, figures, and points; the other lower-case, with a small portion of points. Diphthongs AE [OE] ae [oe] are not now included in job fonts, and many advertising type fonts do not include the lower-case ligatures [fi] [ff] [fl] [ffi] [ffl].

[Transcriber's Note: The original printed text contains a significant number of characters which are not included in standard ASCII or ISO-8859-1 encodings. Those glyphs are represented in this file either as square-bracketed sets of letters (for accents or ligatures), or as square-bracketed type/description pairs, e.g. [Symbol: per sign]. These limitations are not present in the HTML version of this document, which uses numeric entities of the Unicode characters which accurately represent these glyphs as printed in the original.]
