Excerpt from The Printer's Dictionary of Technical Terms: A Handbook of Definitions and Information About Processes of Printing, With a Brief Glossary of Terms Used in Book Binding The following pages have been, in course of preparation for several years. Originally some of the matter was intended solely as "copy" for practice in type-setting by pupils in the School of Printing; later it was arranged, roughly, into the form of a brief glossary, and then, as its value for practice-work, instruction, and general trade information became apparent, it was gradually put into the form in which it now appears. The book is the product of some seventy-five or eighty young printers, who have left on its pages the impress of their first struggles to attain a mastery of their chosen vocation. Every page represents hours of patient, earnest work on the part of pupils who were receiving their first lessons in putting hastily prepared copy into typographic form. In its compilation no especial researches have been undertaken, reliance being mainly on the ordinary sources of information, i.e., trade journals, technical works, and general dictionaries and encyclopedias, and on personal experience and observation. Considering the manner in which it has been produced, no apology need be offered for its obvious defects and shortcomings. The aim has been to compile rudimentary information for the young printer, and no attempt has been made to cover the subjects exhaustively or to make a cyclopedia of complete information.

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Terms Used in Printing It has been the endeavour of the compiler of this little volume, to give a great deal of useful information in a small compass. Whether he has succeeded, or not, he must leave others to judge. He does not intend to put himself forward as a rival to "Savage," or any other English writer on the subject; but he hopes to be of some assistance to the Printers of Madras. Under the heads, Apprentice, Lay up, Distribute, Composing, Spacing, Make up, Imposing, Correcting, Clicker, Companionship, Overseer, Reader, Abbreviation, Division, Orthography, Phrases, Punctuation, &c., he has endeavoured to give instructions which may help to make good workmen, or enable persons in charge of presses, who are not Printers, to understand better what are the duties of the workmen in their employ. Fine Presswork, Making ready, Rollers, and many minor heads, are intended for the instruction of Pressmen as well as of those who have them in charge. While under Printing, Type-founding, Machines, Paper, Stereotyping, will be found brief notices of the Discovery and progress of Letter Press Printing. Short notices of Engraving on Copper, Steel, and Wood, Electrography, Glgphography, and Lithography have also been inserted, as being peculiarly connected with the Art of Printing.
