Small Fonts of Porson GreekThe want of a small font of Greek type is often felt in printing offices. To

meet this need, the American Type Founders Company has decided to put upsmall and complete assortments (to include all the characters used in the largest

fonts of PorsonGreek), togetherwith a case forthe same of itsown devising.No variationsin the assort-ment or weightof these smallfonts wall bemade. See spec-imens for prices.Regular fonts of50 pounds andupwards willbe furnished at

Plan of Patented dreek Case, each, $2.00. Regular Greek Cases, per pair, $3.75 nound DricesSorts are charged at pound rates in quantities; the minimum charge is 75 cents, net.For school examination papers, paragraphs, quotations, etc., these small fontswill prove most useful.

Description of Self Spacing Type

The common widths of book pages, miscellaneous jobs andnewspaper columns are some number of Pica ems, therefore thePica em is taken as the basis for Self Spacing type. The thinnestspace in all fonts is some exact fraction of a Pica, and this frac-tion of Pica is called the unit of measure. All characters, spacesand quads in the font are made some exact multiple of this unitin width, so that the sizes of all faces will work perfectly to-gether in the regular labor-saving measures. This unit of measuremay be one-sixth, one-seventh, one-eighth, one-ninth, etc., of a Picaem, as may be desired, to produce condensed, medium or extendedfaces. The following table gives the sizes of iDodies, units of meas-ure and lengths of alphabets. In the first column will be foundthe various sizes of bodies; in the second, the number of units con-tained in one em Pica, and in the third the measurements of alow^er case alphabet in the ems of each particular body.

In the accompany-ing table will be founda Nonpareil with one-tw^elfth of Pica as theunit of measure. Thisis one -sixth of thebody of Nonpareil, orthe six -to -em space,and preserves in thisparticular font theold three-to-em spaceand the old en and emquads. The same istrue of the Brevier onone-ninth. Bourgeoison one -eighth, andPica on one-sixth ofPica. In a completefont of the old kind ofbody type there areabout 190 widths ofbodies. Appended isa table showing the

different widths of bodies of Self Spacing. It will be readily seenthat there are but nine widths of bodies all told, and that thefour-unit width predominates largely over any other, there beingfifty-nine characters of this width. We omit the Italic charactersfrom the table, as they go on the same widths of bodies and areinterchangeable with the Roman :1 unit Space 12 unitsSpace, f ij 1 .:;,-'! ij ' | 163 unitsQuad, cerstzszIJ?([*t$n- 224 unitsQuad, abdghknopquvxyfiflff$1234567890ABCDEFGLNOPQRTUVXY&S Z

COPPER ALLOY TYPE

Any compositor can see that no combination of tinits can bemade that will not come within a certain number of exact unitsof filling a line. If a line of matter lacks, it must lack one or moreexact units. Self Spacing type sets line for line with the ordinaryRoman, where the lengths of the alphabets are the same. Re-peated experiments with the new type have shown that the aver-age compositor gains about twenty-five per cent, in speed, withno trouble in justification whatever. In the matter of the correc-tion of proofs the gain is enormous. Say there is an "a" for an "e";as "a" is four units wide and "e" three, "e" and one unit spacejustify the line perfectly. Even this measure of trouble is avoidedin many instances. As twenty-eight of the most common lowercase characters are of the same width, they can be substituted forone another without the change of a space. This type is of greaterdurability, as it is always on its feet and is therefore not worn by"pounding." In tabular work there is a great gain in speed andneatness. By the addition of a new character, viz: "|", it is easyto set perpendicular lines of any length, line upon line. It may berepeated that the compositor has nothing to learn in handling SelfSpacing type. There is but one direction to be givento set thatwhich looks like the em quad (six unit quad) wnth the nick out.Whoever will study the principle on which Self Spacing type isbased, will readily admit that it is bound to secure easy and per-fect justification, greatly increased speed and consequent enormoussaving, simplicity and rapidity of proof correction, and increasedaccuracy and ease in the setting of tables. All these points arebeyond question, as certainly as the proposition that two andtwo are four is not open to argument. No rational person can

doubt them. Thispiece of compositionw^as done in a 13-emmeasure stick, andset line upon line inthe ordinary man-ner of straight read-ing matter, the low^-er part being leadedto show the methodof setting. To furth-er explain and illus-trate the ease withwhich table work isdone with Self Spac-ing type, we showabove an example of

miscellaneous justifications, w^hich is absolutely impossible to ac-complish with the old kind of type. In column No. 1 the first linebegins with the lower case "i", two units wide, which is followedby the upright dash '* | ", two units, and the characters "a", fourunits, "n", four units, "d", four units, comprising sixteen units toaccurately fill the column. The second line begins with the letter*'s", three units wide, w^hich throws thespace rule one unit furtherto the right than in the preceding line. In each succeeding linelower case characters are used to the total width of sixteen units,and such ^characters are chosen for the first part thereof as walladmit of advancing the space rule to the right exactly one unit ineach succeeding line.In the other columns the same plan is followed, the only change

being in the substitution of caps, small caps, figures, etc., for thelower case characters, all columns coming perfectly justified insidethe perpendicular lines.

THE INVENTION OF PRINTING has always been rec-ognized by educated men as a subject of importance: there isno mechanical art, nor are there any of the fine arts, aboutwhose early history so many volumes have been written. Thesubject is as mysterious as it is inviting. There is an unusualdegree of obscurity about the origin of the first printed booksand the lives and works of the early printers. There are rec-ords and traditions which cannot be reconciled of at least threedistinct inventions of printing. Its early history is entangledwith a controversy about rival inventors which has lasted formore than three centuries, and is not yet fully determined. Inthe management of this controversy, a subject intrinsically at-tractive has been made repulsive. The history of the inventionof printing has been written to please national pride. Germanauthors assert the claims of Gutenberg and discredit traditionsabout Coster. Dutch authors insist on the priority of Costerand charge Gutenberg with stealing the invention. Partisanson each side say that their opponents have perverted the recordsand suppressed the truth. The quarrel has spread. Englishand French authors who had no national prejudices to gratify,and who should have considei-ed the question without passion,have wrangled over the subject with all the bitterness of Ger-mans or Hollanders. In this, as in other quarrels, there areamusing features, but to the general reader the controversyseems unfortunate and is certainly wearisome. It is a greatermisfortune that all the early chronicles of printing were writ-ten in a dead language. Wolf's collection of TypographicMonuments, which includes nearly every paper of value writ-ten before 1740, is in Latin; the valuable books of Meerman,Maittaire, and Schoepflin ai'e also in Latin. To the generalreader these are sealed books; to the student who seeks exactknowledge of the methods of the first printers, they are tire-some books. Written for the information of librarians ratherthan of printers, it is but proper that these books should devotethe largest space to a review of the controversy or to a descrip-tion of early editions; but it is strange that they should so im-perfectly describe the construction and appearance of earlytypes and the usages of the early printers. The mechanicalfeatures of typography were, apparently, neglected as of littleimportance, and beneath the dignity of history. A failure to
