90 Who laid claim % any liserssure, were
compelled % resort 70 this slou snd
tedious method Of producing books.
But new err Was to be ushersd Ia
a ers with which the names Of 0utaea-
burg, Faust SchaefIer and Caxton will
ever be associated. There hes been co.,
siderable controversy ~ to who may
claim the honor Of the actual invsotioa
Of the art Of printing, and We suppose Il
will never be fully settled. Some award
the honor to Costar of Harlaem, who. in
1888, printed book Of images, with ist-
ters and bl0cks-the leaves Of which
were printed on one side and pasted to
gether. John Faust had . printing Of
fee in Mentz in 1442; but be used
blocks and plates, and consequently had
to have new ones for every book. Gut
enburg improved upon this BY the in
vention Of metn types, with which he
commenced an edition Of the Bible In
1850, and completed il in 1856. Only
think Of it-five years in which to print
q Bible! A daily paper would have lheen
scarcely possible in those daysi Peesr
Schaeifer advanced upon these methods
and invented the making Of metal tyr
in matrix in 1851, and thiA way Of max
ing them has continued, with improve
ments, to the present day. 30 No win
divide tho honors between Ill the
inventors spd improvers Of the 1T.
William Caxton, the hero Of the occa-
sion which It II proposed to celebrate in
June, was the first English printer. His
frat book was Issued In 1477. Il was
Translation from the French, by order a
Lady Margaret, Of York, sister Of Ed
ward the Fourth. The English language
was somewhat different from what It ID
now. This il what Mr.. Caxton says Of
his first book:
"Thus ende this booke, and for -
moche in wrytynge the same my penne il
worne, myne handle very, and myns eyes
dymned with over much looknge on tn
whyte paper, and that ago creepeth on
me daylye and feebleth the body" etc.
Compare this with our language Of the
present, and it will be seem what i'm
provements have been made siucs the
Introduction Of printing, and mainly
through its influence. Tho press which
Caxton used looked much like those ue
see now in bookbinderies, with the addi-
ton OF IN apparatus to roll the type an
der the screw. In this humble way was

language and the English people. Tho
q Inst valuable improvement made upon
the printingtpress was BY Lord 6tanh0ps-
He substituted iron for wood, and ma6s
several other valuable alterations. This
press came into use, and continued h
nearly it, original form until 1874.
