“This grand journal, the oldest in the country, maintains its
place in the van against all comers. Its typographic appearance
is unequalled in the world of printing, and a careful study
of its peerless specimen pages will do more to advance the
beautiful in job composition and presswork than all the tawdry
imitations of lithography, and badly designed and worse
executed rule work that has been thrust upon a suffering art
from Caxton to to-day. Its editorial management is as good as
its typography is handsome and artistic.”—_Springer’s History
and Mystery of Printing._
Money spent for good books is well invested; and in this day of
