Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 2

[trade dispatches]

A statement is going the rounds to the effect that Mr Du Maurier, the society artist of Punch, has been almost blind for years. All his pictures are drawn on a large scale, and reduced by photography to the size required.

Signor Sonzogno, an Italian journalist, is issuing a large-type folio edition of the Bible, in halfpenny parts. He has no religious object, but has undertaken the work solely on commercial grounds, and the work is proving an unprecedented success.

Some one has sent us a copy of a weekly newspaper of twenty-eight columns, published in an up-country township in the South Island. It is a melancholy example of the struggle for existence of a local organ in a once-flourishing district from which the trade has departed. The paper is badly printed, from old and worn type, and the advertisement columns are chiefly filled with dummies. The reading matter is all comprised in five columns, and in the midst of it is a half-column quack advertisement, lifted in from the fourth page.
