Meaning of tho Terms sFoIio, ouarto,
Octave and Duodecinno.

Octave and Duodeeimo.
Theswords "folio," "quarto, '''"octa-
W. -duodecimo'' and the like have
a3most, If not quite, lost their original
meaning. At first they had reference
only to the number Of leaves into
which the sheets used in making the
book were folded. Thus If these
sheets were folded once the book was
called folio; If the sheets were fold
ed twice, so as to form four leaves
the book was called quarto; If they
were folded four times, so as to form
eight leaves, the book was called an
octave, and SO on.
The duodecimo, or 12mo, is an fr-
regular size. To make it the sheet
must be folded SO as to form twelve
leaves Fold one-third of the width
OF sheet lengthwise on itself. Next
fold the paper across its breadth in
the center. Next fold the sheet across
fits lensth-that is, fold the two leaves
on the four. Finally fold it again
across and in such shape that it may
easily be sewed in with others to form
book
But though, strictly and historically,
quarto, octave, etc, have reference
solely to the manner of folding the
sheet, they are, as matter of com
mon practice, used to specify the sizes
Of books.
If the sheets on which books arc
printed were of uniform size Quarto
page would be as unvaryinS an area
as square foot or an acre, and be-
fore the invention of machines for
making paper there was such uni
formity to be found in the sizes Of
sheets.
But when paper making machines
were introduced and the use OF molds
was abandoned sheets came to be
made Of all dimensions. AS a result
quartoS and octavOs had all sorts Of
dimensions, and the terms, when used
strictly to Indicate how the sheet was
folded, became worthless as designa-
lions of size. The use of the old
terms was nevertheless not abandon
cd, but instead they We're first used
to indicate Il rather wide range Of
sizes and finally were attached to GER
tain more definite sizes. without refer
cncc to the method of folding.
The practice of the publisher now
adays is first to determine what size
of page he wants. The sheet he uses
will be large or small, -accordinG to the
capacity of the press at his disposal.
On that sheet he may print, say, eight
octave pages, or he may print thirty
two, but he will call the book an oc-
tavo, though by its folding 1t should
be called either 4 quarto or Il 1Gmo.
In other words, the publisher calls
his book by the name of that one of
the old sizes to which it happens to
come nearest
The confusion resulting from the
changes noticed here has not passed
away yet but efforts have been made
to give definitencss to the old Words

FIRST WARD POLITICAL NOTES.

We have watched the political stu
alton with care. We see many defects
in the so-called republicans, who have
been entrusted with the cares of the
republican voters of the First ward,
and who have not safely guarded it. We
are against any man or set of men who
will in any way slight or abuse the
party of which we form part. We
are not satisfied with the careless way
and manner the party has been
handled for the last two years. AT
least we know that we can't do worse
and we are going to attempt to make
a change. At least we are not going
to try to forecard anyone or to handi-
cap anyone. We are letting everybody
know that we are not satisfied with
the present representatives from the
First ward and are not trying to hide
it. We are simply going to start col
ored man to the city council, and we
think before we get through we will
have one there or know the reason
why. We are full-hedged republicans,
and we know we are living in a re-
publican ward and we know that our
votes help to make the ward go repub-
llcan, and we also know that we will
not lend our support to the democrats
on every proposition that comes up in
the council. We claim that our alder
man has supported practically every
democratic measure that has been be-
fore the council. He cant dispute it.
We don't know whether he knew that
he was weakening the republican party
and adding Strength to the democrats
or not, but either one of them renders
him unfit to be a representative from
republican ward. So, on these
charges, with many others, we expect
to make a fight against our present
alderman. Look out for us, we are not
in hiding.

s Attorney Williams
Chicago, H., Dec. Z, 1909.
Mr.. A, NJ. Williams,
Attorney at Law,
Springfield, Illinois.
My dear Mr.. Williams:

| am writing this to express
my sincere thanks to you for the
kindness shown by your efforts
to support the petition made by
the citizens OF Chicago adverse
to the petition of Davis at Cairo.
My wife has told me how gal
lantly you came to her rescue,
and with what splendid ability
you conducted the law phase of
the contest. We did not expect
any such contest as developed at
Springfield, and as the contest
came out, you can be assured
that we heartily appreciate your
earnest efforts in making our
protest effective.
At the same time. [ desire to
congratulate you upon the sac.
cess which came to our cause. |
think tie action of the governor
will set such a precedent that
lynching will be banished from
the State of Illinois, and in so
successful proceeding you de-
serve the unqualified thanks of
all law abiding citizens. -.
Very sincerely yours,
r. L. Barnett,
Asst. State S Attorney.
