The Kawakawa Luminary, in quoting an entire column of Mr W. Colenso's presidential address, says that his strictures on the colonial papers are « justly severe, » and that their consideration « will not only tend to do good to our brethren in harness, but also to the people. »
Why do not the Dickinson Foundry bring out their pretty « Manuscript » to pica size? No greater hit was ever made with a new design than with this—the great primer and two-line pica sizes sold literally by the ton; and though about a score of imitations have appeared, the original face is still unequalled. But for many purposes the great primer is too large. MacKellar recognized this, and cut his « Circular Script » to pica; but the fount is not satisfactory. The kerns at the head of the caps are awkward and very liable to break, and several of the letters are positively ugly. We want a pica of the original « Manuscript, » and no imitations.
