uld not be likely to meet the eye
of those engaged in the announcement of New Works.

Where Authors may desire to Print only a limited number of Copies for
the use of their friends, this may easily be accomplished without the
least personal inconvenience, through the intervention of the
Publishers.

Should further information on any of the foregoing subjects be desired,
the Publishers will have great pleasure in affording it on application
personally, or by letter.

FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 2-*: Shallow frames of wood, divided into as many compartments
as there are Letters, Capital, Small Capital, and ordinary (called
_Lower-Case_), together with Italic, and the different Stops, Marks, and
other Points employed for reference, quotations, &c.]

[Footnote 2-+: Technically called Copy.]

[Footnote 2-++: A blank piece of Type metal, or one without a Letter, of
which there are various kinds; used also to separate the lines from each
other, according as the pages may be; whether _full_, having the lines
close together, or _light_, with a greater distance between them.]

[Footnote 3-*: This is done by placing the several pages at proper
distances on a large stone, fixed on a strongly constructed table; each
Page being surrounded by blocks of wood prepared for the purpose, and
when firmly wedged together in an iron frame are ready for the press,
and are then called a _Forme_.]

[Footnote 4-*: Driven back the wedges by which the Type is compressed
and held firmly together within the iron frame, in order to allow of his
separating any part of the Pages which may be necessary.]

[Footnote 5-*: It is desirable to observe this, as it has sometimes been
supposed that the Proof-sheets of an entire work may be furnished at
once. This it will be seen could not be, in a work of any extent; as the
quantity of Type required for each sheet renders it necessary that the
type should be liberated as speedily as convenient, in order to
facilitate the progress and completion of the Printing.]

[Footnote 5-+: Taken asunder, and every Letter, Space, Point, &c.
restored to its allotted compartment in the Type Case.]

[Footnote 5-++: The cost of Setting the Type is regulated by the
Thousand, which will explain why a full page or a smaller type is more
expensive than a light or a larger.]

[Footnote 6-*: From the labour required in setting the Type, it will be
easily conceived that Printing must necessarily be a rather slow
process: it
