Institutional effects on occupational health and safety management systems
Authors: Rocha Robson Sø
Published: August 2010

Research analyzing the effects of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) has been divided roughly between support for and criticism of these systems. This article adopts a new, explorative perspective by analyzing how different national institutional environments are likely to affect the functioning of OHSMS. The argument of this article is that such functioning is greatly dependent on the features of the national institutional environment in which such systems are implemented. The article discusses three ideal types of market economy (i.e., liberal market economy, coordinated market economy, and particularistic environment) in relation to industrial relations systems, prevailing organizational templates, and patterns of skills formation. It assesses the possible impact of these features on the functioning of OHSMS. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Fusion behavior of plastisols of PVC studied by ATR‐FTIR
Authors: Marcilla A. , Beltrán M. , García J. C. , Mang D.
Published: August 2010

The behavior of PVC plastisols during gelation and fusion was studied by the ATR‐FTIR technique (Attenuated Total Reflectance‐Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). DBP, DOP, and DIDP, three common phthalate plasticizers for PVC, were used in plastisols formulations. Three heating rates—5, 10 and 15°C/min—and formulations with different plasticizer concentrations were studied. The IR spectra of a plastisol coincides with the IR spectra of the plasticizer except for the bands at 1435 and 613 cm−1 from the PVC (CH2 wagging and C—Cl stretching, respectively). When the plastisol is heated, a progressive decrease of the plasticizer bands areas can be observed, while bands from PVC increase their intensity, probably because of the adsorption of the plasticizer by the resin. On cooling, the area of all bands follows the same path as when heating, but the paths separate at a certain temperature, showing the irreversible nature of this process. The analysis of the band at 1280 cm−1 (C(O)—O from plasticizer) during heating and cooling, shows that the temperature of separation areas (Ts) takes place at temperatures coherent with plasticizer compatibility. Studies at different heating rates and different plasticizer content are in good agreement with results using other techniques, available in the literature.
Vinyl foam: A viable substitute for wood
Authors: Patterson John R. , Souder James L.
Published: August 2010

Rigid vinyl foam offers fabricators a maintenance‐free alternative to wood. It is suitable for both internal and external uses, and unlike wood, vinyl foam products will not rot, warp, or peel, and will never need painting. In order to thoroughly evaluate potential applications for foam PVC, samples were provided to a commercial cabinet manufacturer to obtain his perspective of pertinent properties and potential applications. Results of this evaluation are presented along with processing and formulation recommendations for making good‐quality PVC foam.
Impact modifiers: Providing a boost to impact performance
Authors: Stevenson Janis C.
Published: August 2010

Some of the additives used in plastics formulations, such as flame retardants, fillers, heat distortion temperature modifiers, and pigments, can have a detrimental effect on the impact resistance of the material. Impact modifiers can sometimes be used to “correct” for the detrimental effects of these additives by boosting the impact performance of the material. The functions of core/shell impact modifiers in improving impact resistance are described. Some general guidelines for selecting impact modifier products are discussed.
Development of impact modified, flame retardant polybutylene terephthalate formulations
Authors: Smith Bonnie V. , Wiseman Donald K. , Crook Evan H.
Published: August 2010

The effect of melt blending core‐shell impact modifiers (EXL‐3330, acrylic, and EXL‐3647 MBS) and flame retardants (polypentabromobenzyl acrylate—FR‐1025 and 40–60,000 molecular weight brominated epoxy resin—F‐2400) on the physical properties of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) was determined using antimony oxide as a flame retardant synergist and Teflon 60 as an anti‐drip agent. The major objectives of the study were to develop formulations having maximum impact strength while maintaining a V‐0 UL‐94 flammability rating. Excellent impact strength and flammability performance were achieved in the modified FR‐PBT systems at 20% impact modifier concentration, 13.5% and 12% F‐2400 and FR‐1025 concentrations, respectively, a 3/1 FR/AO ratio and 1% Teflon 60 concentration.
The effect of surface oxidation and titanium dioxide on exterior PVC color retention
Authors: Birmingham J. N.
Published: August 2010

Titanium dioxide is widely used as a cost‐effective UV radiation protector for exterior PVC applications, particularly vinyl building products. As the exterior surface weathers by oxidation, an increasing number of pigment‐air interfaces are formed, resulting in increased light scattering. This increased light scattering is often mistakenly described as color fade. Results are shown to clearly measure the difference between this titanium dioxide opacity effect versus color pigment fade. The effect of several chemicals on surface color restoration and long‐term color retention is explored.
Pressure/temperature measurements during compression molding of glass mat reinforced thermoplastic composites
Authors: Giles Harold F.
Published: August 2010

Cavity pressure transducer measurements are used to determine the effective viscosity of glass reinforced polypropylene composites during compression molding. Part solidification time during the cycle is determined from changes in pressure profiles at different locations in the tool. Higher pressing speeds and part thickness lead to significantly lower effective material viscosity during the compression cycle.
An innovative plasticizer for flexible PVC food contact applications
Authors: Isley Jacquelyn M. , Gott S. Leroy
Published: August 2010

When flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used in food contact applications, there is potential for plasticizer migration. Concern over this migration has led to the development of a novel plasticizer. Eastman EPZ plasticizer is a distilled acetylated monoglyceride (DACM). EPZ is a fraction from the molecular distillation of the reaction mixture prepared by the interesterfication of fully hydrogenated coconut oil and glyceryl triacetate. It is lawful for both direct and indirect food contact according to U.S. Food & Drug Administration regulation 29 CFR 172.828. The performance of EPZ plasticizer compared with adipate and citrate plasticizers confirms its usefulness in flexible PVC. This performance, combined with its clearance as a direct and indirect food additive, offers vinyl formulators a new tool to expand the flexible vinyl market.
Effect of elemental sulfur in the crosslinking reaction of poly(vinyl chloride) with tetramethyl thiuram disulfide
Authors: Arias‐Marín Eduardo , Ramos De Valle Luis F. , Rodríguez‐Fernández Oliverio , Rodríguez‐Velázquez Jesús
Published: August 2010

The effect of elemental sulfur (S8) and tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD) on the chemical crosslinking of PVC is studied. The tensile strength, elongation at break, and gel content of crosslinked and uncrosslinked PVC molded samples, cured at different times in hot air, are evaluated. It was found that crosslinking PVC with TMTD improves its mechanical properties, and adding S8 produces a slight improvement. Also, the S8 presence accelerated the PVC/TMTD crosslinking reaction when the crosslinking reaction was carried out under shear forces, but not when the curing was done in hot air, where the S8 retards the process.
Mixed metal vinyl stabilizer synergism. VI: Lead stabilizer‐group II metal carboxylate blends
Authors: Grossman Richard F.
Published: August 2010

Relative rates are given for the reaction of a model compound, phenacyl chloride, with simple lead carboxylates and actual lead stabilizers. The data suggest that lead stabilization is more complex than previously indicated, with reaction products that are lead double salts, rather than simply lead dichloride. This is rationalized in terms of reactive site coordination to the extended lead stabilizer structure, as opposed to the stabilizer being merely a carrier of PbO.
Lead stabilizers and alternatives in wire & cable and geomembranes
Authors: Baker Paulette , Grossman Richard F.
Published: August 2010

Lead replacement heat stabilizers have made considerable inroads in areas where water resistance is not significant, primarily in wire jackets and insulations not for wet locations. In areas where short‐term moisture resistance is required, such as with flexible cord insulation and electrical tapes, nonlead products are either in use or under development. In those areas where long‐term water resistance is needed, as with geomembranes and many wire insulations, despite much experimentation, commercial products are not in use as yet in the United States. The factors involved are discussed.
Awareness, Perceptions, and Provider Recommendation Related to Genetic Testing for Hereditary Breast Cancer Risk among At‐Risk Hispanic Women: Similarities and Variations by Sub‐Ethnicity
Authors: Vadaparampil Susan T. , McIntyre Jessica , Quinn Gwendolyn P.
Published: August 2010

This study explored awareness of risk factors for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), awareness, knowledge and concerns about genetic testing, and preference for how to have genetic testing recommended by a care provider among at‐risk Hispanic women. Differences in these factors among Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican women were also examined. Women with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer from the Tampa Bay Area participated in a qualitative interview (N = 53). Data were analyzed using a combination of open and axial coding with a grounded theory approach. Study participants in all groups reported: being aware that family history was a breast cancer risk factor, limited knowledge of genetic testing, fear of test results, concerns about children's risks, and no physician referral for genetic testing. Noteworthy sub‐ethnic differences included preferences for physician recommendation and information about genetic testing. This study provides important preliminary information about areas related to HBOC that require additional education in the Hispanic community as a whole and by sub‐ethnicity.
An Empirical Analysis of the Retention of Dissatisfied Business Services Customers Using Structural Equation Modelling
Authors: Yanamandram Venkata , White Lesley
Published: August 2010

This study extends the body of literature concerning service switching, complaint handling, dependence and commitment by investigating why dissatisfied B2B customers do not switch service providers. Specifically, it develops and tests a social exchange-based model examining how dissatisfied, but behaviourally loyal, customers act in terms of their repurchase intentions.

A conceptual model, specifying a set of hypothesised relationships between dimensions of switching costs, interpersonal relationships, dimensions of complaint handling, satisfaction with complaint handling, attractiveness of alternatives, dependence, calculative commitment and repurchase intentions, was examined using AMOS 17.0 on a sample of 376 business directors/managers from responding organisations. The results show that satisfaction with complaint handling, benefit-loss costs, dependence and calculative commitment significantly increase customers’ repurchase intentions. The findings also indicate that dependence, interpersonal relationships and specific types of switching costs influence customers’ calculative commitment, and the latter influences intentions to repurchase services. The study builds on the Investment Model by including justice components, and examines the effects of different types of antecedents on calculative commitment that have previously not been examined.
A History of the Study of Mathematics at Cambridge
Authors: Ball Walter William Rouse
Published: August 2010

For centuries, Cambridge University has attracted some of the world's greatest mathematicians. This 1889 book gives a compelling account of how mathematics developed at Cambridge from the middle ages to the late nineteenth century, from the viewpoint of a leading scholar based at Trinity College who was closely involved in teaching the subject. The achievements of notable individuals including Newton and his school are set in the context of the history of the university, its sometimes uneasy relationship with the town community, the college system, and the origin and growth of the mathematical tripos.
Across the Plains
Authors: Stevenson Robert Louis
Published: August 2010

The celebrated Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson arranged for his friend the art historian Sidney Colvin to select and organise the essays in this volume, many of which had originally appeared in 1888, though some date back to the early 1880s. It was published in 1892, two years before Stevenson's untimely death. Colvin obtained many of the pieces from their original publishers, including magazines such as Fraser's, Longman's, The Magazine of Art and Scribner's. What is particularly noteworthy about this collection is that although Stevenson had settled in the South Seas well before it appeared, all the items included were written prior to his journey there. Colvin mentions that the concluding pieces in particular were written during a period of considerable gloom and sickness for Stevenson, who himself claimed to 'recover peace of body and mind' after moving to the Pacific in 1890.
Primitive Music
Authors: Wallaschek Richard
Published: August 2010

This 1893 study of the music, instruments and dance of the world's indigenous peoples reflects the Victorian view that human development moved from primitive to complex along a linear evolutionary path. Despite this standpoint, it was an important contribution to comparative musicology in the late nineteenth century, demonstrating the principle that studying the music of non-European cultures and societies could help Europeans understand their own musical tradition. On the basis of his comparative analysis, Wallaschek developed a theory that music originated from rhythm and dance rather than the melody of speech. His proposed model moved forward that of Wagner, and recognised that music is embedded as a fundamental element of social interaction. The book describes music and instruments around the world, the role of singing and dance, and tonality and harmony, before discussing the origin of music and the role of heredity and external circumstances on musicality.
A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History
Authors: Swainson William
Published: August 2010

William Swainson F. R. S., was recognised principally as a zoologist, an ornithologist and a skilled and prolific illustrator. He also had a tremendous enthusiasm for seeking and identifying new species. In this 1834 volume however, Swainson addressed the nature of, foundations for and successful pursuit of zoology. It argues firmly for the key importance of taxonomy. Swainson was an ardent advocate of MacLeay's now entirely outmoded 'quinary' system of classification – even then a distinctly minority view. This sought affinities, patterns and analogies among organisms, in order to discern God's order. More than a mere curiosity, such work was of pivotal concern to enterprising naturalists of the 1820s and 1830s – including the young Charles Darwin. It also reached Robert Chambers, whose 1844 Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation was an important landmark in the development of the theory of evolution.
A Series of Discourses on the Christian Revelation, Viewed in Connection with the Modern Astronomy
Authors: Chalmers Thomas
Published: August 2010

In 1817 the Scottish mathematician and churchman Thomas Chalmers (1780–1847), who was later invited to write one of the Bridgewater Treatises (also reissued in this series) published this book, based on weekday sermons preached by him in Glasgow. His main aim is to refute the 'infidel' argument that because the earth and humanity are such insignificant parts of the universe, God - if he existed - would not care about them. However, he is also addressing the 'narrow and intolerant professors' who 'take an alarm' at the idea of philosophy rather than incorporating science into their Christian preaching. Chalmers writes from the viewpoint of an admirer of science and modern astronomy. However, he also argues that wonder at the magnificence of creation and even acknowledging it as God's work is not enough, and that a truly moral Christian life is essential for salvation.
The Origin of Species
Authors: Darwin Charles
Published: August 2010

This sixth edition of The Origin of Species was published in 1876. It is the last edition on which Darwin himself worked before his death in 1882, and offers a useful complement to the 2009 scholarly edition, edited by Jim Endersby and published by Cambridge University Press in Darwin's bicentennial year. The sixth edition contains a 'historical sketch' in which Darwin reviews the many works by eminent European and American scientists – beginning with Lamarck in 1801 – in which ideas of evolutionary species change and of natural selection were touched on but not developed. This edition, like all from the second onwards, contains the words 'by the Creator', controversially added to the famous last sentence in the book: 'There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one...'
Ethnological Studies among the North-West-Central Queensland Aborigines
Authors: Roth Walter Edmund
Published: August 2010

Walter E. Roth's 1897 study of the Aborigines of North-West-Central Queensland was among the first of its kind in Australia, and established his international reputation as a leading anthropologist and ethnologist. Roth, a physician who was later appointed 'protector of Aboriginals' by the government, gained the confidence and trust of the Aboriginal people among whom he lived, and tried to stop the exploitation and injustice they suffered, in the face of fierce political opposition. His book provides a fascinating and closely observed account of the Aborigines' traditional way of life, including their language, kinship and customs. It describes social organisation, food, tools and weapons, personal decoration, travel and trade, birth and death, and even cannibalism. Containing over 430 illustrations and a glossary summarising key vocabulary, this thoroughly-researched book is widely recognised as a valuable and enduring anthropological record.
A True Description of Three Voyages by the North-East towards Cathay and China
Authors: Veer Gerrit de
Published: August 2010

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This book contains three accounts of Dutch voyages in search of a north-eastern passage to China, undertaken in the 1590s. (When this Hakluyt edition was published in 1853, continuing anxiety about the fate of Sir John Franklin's expedition made any accounts of Arctic exploration extremely topical.) The Dutch were not successful in establishing a north-east passage; but the stories of the expeditions and of the courage and endurance of the men who took part in them make for fascinating reading.
A History of Greece
Authors: Grote George
Published: August 2010

Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative study of ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846, established the shape of Greek history which still prevails in textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work provides explanations of Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 7 continues the history of the Peloponnesian War from the Peace of Nikias to the disaster of the Sicilian Expedition and the coup d'état of the Four Hundred at Athens in 411 BCE.

Studies in Church Life in England under Edward III
Authors: Wood-Legh K. L.
Published: August 2010

Studies in Church Life in England under Edward III was first published in 1934 as part of the Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought series. Wood-Legh has chosen five topics of church history which frequently occur in the Patent Rolls of Edward III. Chancery documents were valuable sources of information on aspects of the medieval church, but had seldom been systematically studied by church historians before this. The five essays cover royal administration of religious houses, the visitation of hospitals, the application of the Statute of Mortmain, chantry chapels, and the appropriation of parish churches by religious houses. All of these topics are then related to three themes, public opinion of the church, the effects of the Black Death on the church, and the relationship between the church and central government. The book is a splendid example of how administrative sources can shed light on all aspects of history.
The Natural and Moral History of the Indies
Authors: Acosta Joseph de
Published: August 2010

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This volume, first published in 1880, translates the first detailed description of the geography and indigenous culture of South America, written by Joseph de Acosta (1540–1600) and originally published in Spanish in 1590. Acosta was one of the first explorers to record and analyse the geophysical phenomena of the 'New World' and attempt to explain them scientifically. Volume 1 contains the first four books of Joseph de Acosta's work describing the climate, plants, animals and meteorological phenomena of South America.
Life of the Rev. David Brainerd
Authors: Pratt Josiah , Edwards Jonathan
Published: August 2010

David Brainerd dedicated much of his short life to preaching the gospel to Native American peoples. Josiah Pratt's 1834 biography uses Brainerd's own journal and letters to examine the character of an extraordinary man and expose the discrepancy between Brainerd's self-lacerating writings and the exceptional fortitude made evident by his deeds. It includes Brainerd's moving and eloquent account of his own conversion, his chronic illness and the privations he suffered during a life he described as 'a constant mixture of consolations and conflicts'. This fascinating insight into the private thoughts and struggles of a remarkable figure charts his ceaseless pursuit of God and the battle between his inexhaustible religious fervour and his chronic physical infirmity. The book also includes Brainerd's reflections on the process of conversion and the signs of godliness, and his description of the difficulties he faced in converting Native Americans.
A Short History of Cheap Music
Authors: Grove George
Published: August 2010

The publisher Novello was hugely influential in making music affordable for a wider section of the Victorian public. A Short History of Cheap Music, published in 1887, focuses on Novello's role. It begins with the establishment of the house in 1811, when the founder, Vincent Novello, printed his first book at his own personal expense. Soon afterwards the house made available cheap editions of major musical compositions including Mozart's and Haydn's masses, Purcell's sacred music, and various Italian and English works. It also printed a variety of publications and journals dedicated to music, advocated the reduction of taxes on music, and organised events for the advancement of the musical arts. The author shows how by finding cheaper methods for printing music, organising cheap concerts, and establishing new choral societies, the house of Novello gradually created a taste for music among new audiences, a process paralleled today in the new media.
Cambridge and Charles Lamb
Authors: Wherry George Edward
Published: August 2010

Although the early nineteenth-century essayist Charles Lamb never studied in Cambridge, he knew the city well and had many friends connected with the University, most notably Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Between 1909 and 1914, at a time when Lamb was widely read and admired, a series of dinners were held in Cambridge to commemorate Lamb's birthday and his connections with the city. Edited by one of the original organisers, George Wherry, in 1925, this little volume collects his reminiscences of eminent guests at the events, along with two informative essays on Lamb's Cambridge connections by Lamb's biographer and editor E. V. Lucas. Another contribution is Edmund Gosse's account of how his friendship with Algernon Swinburne was enriched by their shared admiration of Lamb. The volume remains of interest both as a record of Edwardian academic conviviality, remembered after the Great War, and of the enthusiasm Lamb inspired at the time.
The University of Cambridge
Authors: Mullinger James Bass
Published: August 2010

James Bass Mullinger (1834–1917) was a University Lecturer in History and Librarian at St. John's College, Cambridge. His monumental three-volume history of the university was the standard one at the turn of the twentieth century. For most of his career Mullinger worked on the project alongside his academic duties and his writing for periodicals, the first volume appearing in 1873 and the last in 1911. His extraordinary range of knowledge and the sheer scale of the work make this ambitious project a landmark in the history of universities in Britain. Volume 2 covers 1535–1625, a century that saw the most turbulent changes in the university as in the country as a whole. In particular, Mullinger shows how the Reformation was enthusiastically supported by Cambridge men, and how it affected education in the period, ending with an assessment of the divisions that were to lead to the Civil War.
On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants
Authors: Darwin Charles
Published: August 2010

Initially published by the Linnean Society, this 1865 essay was Darwin's first foray into the study of climbing plants. He was inspired to produce this work by a paper on the tendrilled Cucurbitacean plant by American botanist Asa Gray, with whom he had a firm intellectual friendship. Darwin examines in detail those plants which climb using a twisting stem, such as the hop; leaf-climbers, such as the clematis; tendrilled plants such as the passion flower; and hook and root climbers such as ivy. The conclusions reached by his study are presented in terms of the adaptations of various species to their environments, a continuation of the theories that Darwin had propounded in his On the Origin of the Species six years earlier. His passion for the design of the plants and fascination with the diversity of their powers of movement are clear in this accessible example of the process of evolution.
A Dictionary of Musicians, from the Earliest Ages to the Present Time
Authors: Sainsbury John
Published: August 2010

The publisher John Sainsbury produced this two-volume biographical dictionary of musicians in 1824. The book, as he acknowledges on his title page, borrows from the previously published works of Choron and Fayolle (in French), Gerber (in German), Orloff (Russian, writing in French), and his two notable English predecessors, Dr Burney and Sir John Hawkings. It contains a 'summary of the history of music', as well as biographies and memoirs of musicians. The range of the information provided is immense, including the most obscure as well as the most famous: fourteen pages on Mozart are followed by paragraphs on his wife Constanza and on the now completely forgotten B. F. Mozin, a French piano teacher and composer, while Beethoven is described when still living and composing, albeit afflicted by deafness. This work is a mine of information on musical life and perceptions of music history in the early nineteenth century.
The Foundation of the Origin of Species
Authors: Darwin Charles
Published: August 2010

The development of Charles Darwin's views on evolution by natural selection has fascinated biologists since the 1859 publication of his landmark text On The Origin of Species. His experiences, observations and reflections during and after his pivotal journey on the Beagle during 1831–36 were of critical importance. Darwin was not, however, a man to be rushed. While his autobiography claims that the framework of his theory was laid down by 1839, its first outline sketch did not emerge until 1842. That essay was heavily edited, with many insertions and erasures. It formed the vital kernel of his more expansive but also unpolished and unpublished essay of 1844. Following careful editing by his son Francis, both essays were published in 1909, and are reproduced here. Reading these side by side, and together with the Origin, permits us to scrutinise selection and evolution truly in action.
The First Part of the History of Henry IV
Authors: Shakespeare William
Published: August 2010

John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually and as a set, and each contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest and ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques and theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance and became an established part of later editorial practice, for example in the Arden and New Cambridge Shakespeares.

Wood-Engraving
Authors: Linton William James
Published: August 2010

William James Linton (1812–1897) was a wood-engraver, poet, prose writer and political activist, who first worked in London but emigrated to the United States in 1866. He began his wood-engraving apprenticeship at the age of sixteen under the well-known London engraver G. W. Bonner. Linton's mature work, championing the use of 'white lining' and favouring the use of horizontal engraved lines and creating tone by differing line thickness, continued in the tradition of Thomas Bewick (1753–1828), the founding figure of wood-engraving. The publication of this book in 1884 marked the culmination of Linton's career, though he continued to research and write on the subject. The manual, originally published in only five hundred copies, is beautifully illustrated with Linton's own engravings and is a rich source for anyone interested in the technical details as well as the historical development of this specialist craft.
