GEOGRAPHY AND THE PRESS
Spread of the Art of Printing Inde-
pendant of Trade Routes.

1
Inasmuch as the present European war
| is being conducted In a territory which
saw the first development of the art Of
printing, it Is interesting to note that the
geography of the country had little to do
with the spread of the art. Indeed, il
appears to have been independent of the
routes of trade.
Starting ut Manz, the first important
book from the first printing press Cthe
Gutenberg Bible) was issued probably
about 145j. About five years later started
the next presses. at Strassburg, like Mainz
on the Rhine. and at Bamberg, nearly 200
miles as the crow flies across the country,
but on the Main, Il branch of the Rhine.
Nuremberg, only few miles from Benz
berg and OH branch of the Main, had
no printing press, however until 1i70 and
Leipzig in the centre OF Prussia. not until
1881. eIt far away, almost on the borders
of then European learning, presses were
established at Cracow in 1874, in Budapest
in l4I3, and Lubbock on the Baltic shores
in 1875. according to a writer in the Boston
Transcript.
Taking Mainz on the Rhine and going
north along the river, We find presses at
Eltvil in l467, Marienthal (cose to EltviD
in 1874. and about $50 miles farther along
the river at Cologne, in 1866 Going

Strassburg in 1860, but at Speier halfway
