For young man who ais7not altogether
fpols who has had the5 advantages
of am ordinary aeducation, the printing
officesis undoubtedly q capital school for
lntcllectum advancement. In regard to
general knowledge, no class who labor
for a.livingl caniiapproach the printer.
The studious among them, if their natu-
raj gifts bcinot below the evel of medic
Gritty, have equal chances with the
members OF the so called professions,
to acquire both worldly honors aud
literary fame. From the days of Caxton
to thoseof franklin, and from his days
to our own, the craft has prodnced
eminent men in profession and every
walk Jflife. s-{I s,-..s l3 i.
a printer is generally a critic, not
only of language and punctuation, but
of theintrinsic literary merits of whatever
comes under his hand. 1t is impossible
that he. should be otherwise, since so
great q partgof his life is made up, as
it were, of facts that enforce reflection.
The labor that employs his hands gives
his mind neither exercise nor care.
His fingers move intuitively to the exact
points requisite for the proper appoint
mcnt Of his work, while his mind. seizes
the idea sought to be conveyed by the
writer whose work be is engaged OF and
is only expelled therelrom after his iudg
mcnt has passed sentence upon its merits.
Many one. without KNOWING it
possibly owes some unknown conpositor
or proof reader much more reputation as
Il writer than hc would be willing to
acknowledge. b. changing of SEN
tence without affecting its meaning, he
can civ it strength or sinoothness, as
a good printer he asksno questions about
the matter but changes it at once. Z a-a
There are some printers, it is true,
who can never learn the Flainest rule of
composition or punctuation. To such
one might we use the identical words
