We may even assume that such is the oneness of intelligent life that if the inhabitants of these different planets were to meet in some general home in immortality, they would prove to be of the one race

DESCRIPTION OF SELF SPACING TYPE


THE common widths of book pages, miscellaneous jobs and newspaper columns are some number of Pica ems, therefore the Pica em is taken as the basis for Self Spacing type. The thinnest space in all fonts is some exact fraction of a Pica, and this fraction of Pica is called the unit of measure. All characters, spaces and quads in the font are made some exact multiple of this unit in width, so that the sizes of all faces will work perfectly together in the regular labor-saving measures. This unit of measure may be one-sixth, one-seventh, one-eighth, oneninth, etc., of a Pica em, as may be desired, to produce condensed, medium or extended faces. The following table gives the sizes of bodies, units of measure, and lengths of alphabets. In the first column will be found the various sizes of bodies in the second, the number of units contained in one em Pica, and in the third the measurements of a lower case alphabet in the ems of each particular body

unless he is a natural genius, should spend long years in study and patient practice, cultivating his taste and strengthening his judgment, before he enters far into the domain of original designing, if he wishes to give better satisfaction to his employers and to the customers of his employers. New beginners often bring forth new designs, never known before and which no one would probably ever wish to see again, at a marvellous speed. But in this, as in everything else, the farther they advance the more careful they are of their opinions and ideas as authority for those whom they consider their inferiors in all respects. Newness, however, should not be their sole thought, unless they know that they can improve upon that which already exists in the same department. A new thing without merit is worse than an old thing worn threadbare. An entirely original piece of composition is an almost unknown production, when we consider the word original to mean the bringing into existence that which was unknown before. Original ideas are not so plenty

has been said about artistic printing that, at the first one would naturally come to the conclusion that all that blush, could be said had been said. Yet it is not so. We can scarcely open a trade organ without seeing something, either good, bad or indifferent, on the subject. In fact our daily and weekly newspapers and literary journals must also have their say, with an amount of freshness that betokens "a few more words."

The type-founding tools and material, which Benjamin Franklin had brought with him from France for his own convenience in casting sorts, came into possession of the firm in 1806. After Dr. Franklin's death, they became the property of Mr. Duane, a relative of the philosopher, who, justly appreciating the true ardor with which Messrs. Binny & Ronaldson endeavored to succeed, offered them the loan of these tools. After an examination of them by Ronaldson, he was so much pleased with the superiority of a number of them over their own, and fearing that Mr. Duane might change his

PRECEPTS IMPARTED TO THE MASTER AS WELL AS THE APPRENTICE


LECTURE ON THOROUGHNESS
printing offices is an accomplishment that is often neglected by those who are learning and by those who are practicing the principles contained in our high and noble calling. While it is true that much is left to the taste and judgment of the workman, and much of his success depends upon the

Thoroughness

in

cultivation of taste and exercise of judgment, it is also true that there are numerous important fixed rules and principles that no sensible printer will care to ignore; and if he does run counter to them he does so at his own risk, and in the end will be more harmed than benefited by his own stubbornness or ignorance. Most printers, who set themselves up as original and artistic printers, are original botches, and they continue to hold their own through life, or until some accident or combination of circumstances forces them to see their weakness, when, if they are not too proud and conceited, they may, by patient industry and perseverance, hope to become workmen of ordinary ability, and spend the remainder of their days in quiet usefulness. Artistic workmen are few indeed. If a person has enough artistic ability to be able at all times to create forms of beauty and symmetry that will be the wonder of his less fortunate neighbors, he can always find employment more remunerative. "Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well," is a maxim that few follow because many do not know how. Cheap Printing may serve a cheap man, but

SOME ANNOYING HABITS POSSESSED BY THE SLOUGHY PRINTER COMMENT ON THE SLOUCH
A number of interesting experiments are performed by compositors in the several processes of setting, correcting and distributing type, that may be justly classified outside the pale of typographic tolerance. As long as the offender is unnoticed or not discovered in his mean habits, just so long will he continue to exercise them. These practices, as we all know, are confined only to the more incompetent, or to the workman who is intentionally slovenly. They mark his course at every turn in the office, and require little investigation to establish their rightful originator. What a source of annoyance it is to the careful man to lift a handful of matter for distribution and find it This is the lazy man or slouch graphically plentifully interlarded with bent spaces.

There is considerable truth in this without a doubt; though, in a great measure the fact of its possessing any truth is more attributable to the loose methods that some printers resort to, than to anything essentially necessary to and in fact forming a part of the business itself.

THE ORIGIN OF ROMAN TYPES, WITH CHANGES BEFORE AND AFTER REACHING
1

Italian scribes of the fifteenth century were famous for their beautiful manuscripts, written in a hand entirely different from the Gothic of the Germans, or the Secretary of the French and

Netherlands calligraphers. It was only natural that the first Italian printers, when they set up their press at Subiaco, should form their letters upon the best model or the national scribes. The Cicero de Oratore of 1465 is claimed by some as the first book printed in Roman type, although the character shows that the German artists who printed it had been unable wholly to shake off the traditions of the pointed Gothic school of typography in which they had learned their craft. The type of the Lactantius, and the improved type of the works subsequently printed by Sweynheim and Pannartz at Rome, as well as those of Ulric Hahn, were, in facL GothicRomans ; and it was not till Nicholas Jenson, a Frenchman, in 1470, printed his Eusebii Praeparatio at enice, that the true Roman appeared in Italy, -which -was destined to become the ruling character in European Typography. Fournier and others have considered that Jenson derived his Roman letter from a mixture of alphabets of various countries ; but it is only necessary to compare the Eusebius with the Italian manuscripts of the period, to see that no such elaborate selection of models was necessary or likely. Jensen's font is on a body corresponding to English. The font is round and clear, and differing in fashion only from its future progeny. The capital alphabet consists of twenty-three letters (J, U, not being yet in use) ; the lower case alphabet is the same and except that the u is substituted for the v, and in addition there is a complete the font, there are fifteen long f, and the diphthongs. contractions, six double letters, and three points, the . : ? making seventy-three punches in all. Jensen's Roman letter fell after his death into the hands of a firm of which Andrea Torresani was head. Aldus Manutius subsequently associated himself with Torresani, and, becoming his son-in-law and heir, eventually inherited his punches, matrices, and types. The Roman fonts of Aldus were eclipsed by his Italic and Greek, but he cut several fine alpha-

Roman of the Venetian School, fonts of which he is said to have brought direct from Italy. The German name of Antiqua, applied to the Roman character, has generally been supposed to imply a reluctance to admit the claim of Italy to the credit of introducing this style of letter. As, however, the Italians themselves called the letter the Lettera
Antiqua tonda, the imputation against Germany is unjust. The French, Dutch, and English called it Roman.

It has been stated erroneously, by several writers, on the authority of Chevillier, that their font was without capitals. The font is complete in that respect, and Chevillier's expression, "lettres capitales," as he himself explains, refers to the initial letters for which blank spaces were left to be filled in by hand. Besides the ordinary capital and lower-case alphabets, the font abounds in abbreviations. This letter was used in all the works of the Sorbonne press, but when Gering left the Sorbonne and established himself at the Soleil aOr, in J473, he made use of a Gothic letter. In his later works, however, new and greatly improved fonts of the Roman appear. Jodocus Badius, who by some is erroneously supposed to

The French quickly recognized the opportunities of printing, but were slow in improving the shapes of the Roman letter.

Accepted for reprints of old books, it was rejected for modern work. To make it palatable to the general reader, type-founders devised a "modernized old-style," in which harsh features were modified and new features of greater delicacy were added. So changed, it became a more salable letter, but it never found marked favor with the ordinary newspaper or the book publisher.

and DIDOT, in imitation of the delicate lines of the copper-plate printer), has never been changed. When printing was done upon wet paper, against an elastic blanket, the hair-line was necessarily thickened by its impress against the yielding paper, which over-lapped the sides of every line. Under this treatment the hair-line appeared thicker in print than in type, and was unobjectionable to printer or reader but when the new method began (as it did in 1872) of printing on dry and smooth paper against an inelastic surface

To use types in which the thick strokes of each type are unduly spread apart on a page with narrow margins is an incongruity that cannot be justified. When margins are ample, and space is not pinched, types may be broad and even expanded. When the page is over-full, the types should be compressed to suit the changed condition. The fault of over-broad type is most noticed in books of poetry, in which
