WANTED-A TEXTBOOK. In a recent number of THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL a correspondent from Victoria, B. C., seeks information as to a craft textbook, and mentions "Practical Printing," De Montford Press, Leicester, England. Though Victoria may be a little from the center of the printing industry in America and nearly off the map, such inquiry deThe serves more attention than it has received. memory of the oldtimer will hark back with pleasure to the "American Printer," by Thomas MacKellar. Your correspondent knows of no textbook for the printing craft that has ever taken its place, although it, like its author, has passed and is now but a pleasant memory. With it outspread before him, he learned the boxes and set his first take: "The Mechanical Uses of Castor Oil." From it he drew his first knowledge of imposition, dressing pages, what constituted good work, the use and the abuse of material, working in "companionship," and a lot of other valuable information. He recalls contemplating with awe the picture of a press, with a flight of steps running up to the second and third stories, which could rattle off 15,000 or 20,000 impressions an hour, provided the building was stout enough to stand the pounding. All through its pages was reiterated that nowhere was heaven's first law more essential or more con. ducive to good work than in a printing office. 283 75 $652 53 ANGER begins with folly and ends with repen. tance.-Pythagoras. Some years later another book was published, "Harpell's Typography," that was considered the Compared ne plus ultra of display composition. with styles now in vogue, this book would now be considered a curiosity, if not a monstrosity. There are textbooks on law, medicine, architecture, engineering, mechanics, etc., but where, oh, where shall we find a compendium of what is essential and useful in the printer's art brought up to date? We all know that enough has been writ ten and printed to make a book of this kind, but The files of the who will gather and codify it? Inland Printer alone would furnish about all that is needed for a first-class textbook, but it would be largely a labor of love for any one tc undertake the work. It is safe to say that very few who have gone into print for the instructior and benefit of the printing craft ever got thei money back. As an adjunct to the I. T. U. Course in Printing alone, a textbook of the right sort and of sufficient scope would be a great help to the aspiring apprentice, and a vade mecum to the jour INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
