HISTORY OF PRINTED BOOKS
Movable Type Known to the Romans,
Chinese and Koreans Many
Centuries Ago.

1.-THE Evolution of the Printed Book
from the Ancient Manuscript TO the
Present Day" was the subject of an
interesting lecture recently by William
d. circuit, Of the University Press, in
Wesleyan hall. before the members OF
the Society of Designers and Engrav-
ers, says the Boston Transcript. The
lecturer first pointed out the antiquity
Of the movable type" and its having
been known to the Romans. Chinese
and Koreans, but never applied in
large way or with a knowledge of its
possibilities until applied by Guten-
burg about 1889. Soon after this came
the period Of the "Humanities" in lit
erature and the making Of elegant
manuscript books. On the splendid
work of the scribes in the manuscript
books Of this period were based the
type faces which have become the
standard for all time In the occident.
The lecturer described the various
vicissitudes Of erratic forms in types
through which the title page went.
and told Of the contributions made to
the cause of printing by sucb men as
Aldus Nautilus and his sons; Jensen,
Christopher Plautin. the Dutch print
er. who carried the title page to elab-
crate perfection. and William Morris,
who might be said to have restored
the art Of printing to its early glory.
Some of the defects of the Morris style
were pointed out especially his aver
sion to putting leads between the lines
of type. which resulted in a massive
page without any relief in color value
between the lines. Still Morris eff
fected a revolution and placed book
printing on a higher plane than it had
been for centuries.
Mr.. circuit called attention 10 the
American faces that had been the re-
suit of the Morris movement In Eng
land-the De Winnie. Renner, the Mon
taigne by BRUCE Rogers. and the Mer-
rymount face. by Goodhue. These va
rious type faces and the early manu-
scripts from which Aldus and Jensen
made their types were shown by
means of lantern slides, as were a
number of title pages by the various
printers and finally the new type face
designed for the University Press
based on some Of the best of the
manuscript volumes of the Humane
ties period" in Italy.

Is the half-round. shown at A in Fig.
33, being fat on one side and round
ing on the other. These cabinet wood
files should be used for wood only.
They are of a different cut and tenn
pere1 differently from files made for
filing iron and other metals, and if
dulled by such use they are after
wards worthless for filing wood. The
cabinet wood rasp, shown at B in the
illustration, is an entirely different
tool and cuts too roughly for finishing,
being used only where a great deal Of
wood is to be removed before using
the file.
After using the file, the curve edge
must be polished and finished with
sandpaper, the most convenient way
of doing this being to wrap a half
sheet Of the sandpaper round and
round the file, using this in the same
way as the file itself. Files are not
used on wood as on metal, with a
straight forward and backward stroke,
which would soon fill the edge being
filed with Irregularities, but are given
a lateral or sidewise movement at the
same time that they are pushed for

The purposes for which the chisel
is used and the manner of applying Il
to the work are so obvious that any
instruction in that direction would
seem to be unnecessary, and yet there
is no tool used by the carpenter or
cabinet-maker requiring more care
and patient practice in order TO use
successfully. In using the chisel on a
fiat surface, or in a recess, it should be
held with the fiat, or back, OF the

the Act Of Sneexing.
Sir Henry Irving has in his posses
sion photograph taken many years
ago, In which he is the center of a
small group of people, which he says
nothing would make him part with.
The occasion on which the photograph
was taken was the landing of Sir Hen
ry Irving and ome Of the members OF
his company from an Atlantic liner,
and a snapshot artist who was there
took a picture of the group just before
they left the vessel.
The weather was cold and raw, and
just as the camera was about TO snap
Sir Henry started to sneeze. The pho
tograph represented him, well in the
foreground of the group. with his face
drawn and contorted, in the very act
of sneezing.
In showing the photograph to some
friends one day Sir Henry remarked:
Il prize that photograph more than
any er had in which | appear, be-
cause ii represents me in an entirely
unconventional light" - New York

1t is often necessary to lay out lines
on the surface of the work, which are
not at right angles to or square with
the edge. and also sometimes to plane
an edge at a greater or less angle than
As degrees TO the surface of the piece.
In all such cases a bevel, the best
form for which is shown in Fig. 80, is
used The blade is adjustable to any
required angle. and is clamped and
held in position when adjusted by
means of the clamping screw shown
at the end Of the handle.

Chisels and Gouges.
Carpenters chisels may be divided
into two general classes-socket
handled chisels and frmer, or pairing,
chisels. Two styles of the latter are
shown in Fig. S5. which, being lighter
and thinner than the socket chisel,
will in all cases suit our purpose bet
ter The one shown at A, having
beveled edges, is greatly TO be pre-
ferred to that shown at b.
Four of these chisels will be needed:
a, p, q and inch in size. The par

the No. smooth plane will be useful.
1t differs from the two mentioned
above in being only inches long, and
the cutter, like that of the jack plane,
is inches wide.
The No. II block plane shown in Fig.
81 which is inches long and has a
cutter Ia inches wide, is very desir-
able on account of the low angle at
which the cutter is set, and the ease
with which it can be held in one hand,
while the piece TO be planed is held,
when necessary, in the other.
1t works more smoothly on end
wood and on miters than the other
planes. The cutter of this plane is
single, having no cap iron, and is
used with the ground or beveled, side
of the plane iron up.
