BLANKETS.

Woollen blankets are unnecessary when a book is printed from new type.

Nothing more should be used than a sheet or two of paper, as in fine work

only the face of the type should show in the impression. But when the

types or plates are worn and rounded, fine cassimere or broadcloth should

be used in the tympan. In this, as in all matters connected with artistic

typography, the pressman must display good judgment and discretion.
