Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 2
[trade dispatches]
A fine plate in the December number of Harper's Magazine, illustrating « American Gems, » is printed in twenty colors, from as many lithographic stones.
In reply to a correspondent, the Printers' Register says;—There is no complete history of printing in the English language. For the introduction of the art read Blades's William Caxton, which is invaluable. There is a cheap edition published by Trübner and Co. at 5s. For the remainder of the annals read Timperley, Dictionary of Printers and Printing; or Encyclopædia of Literary and Typographical Anecdote (the same book with different title page). Powell's Short History of Printing in England (price 2s) is thoroughly accurate throughout, and affords a good introduction to the subject. Prefixed to Gould's Letterpress Printer is a slight sketch of the subject, by J. Southward.
