DICTIONARY OF TYPOGRAPHY AND ITS ACCESSORY ARTS. A List of the Authorities consulted in the compilation of thin Dictionary will be given in full when the work is completed. THE first letter of the English Alphabet. Signature a is the first sheet of every work, and is called the Title- sheet ; but the letter itself is never inserted at foot, as 52*9 the title-page sufficiently indicates how the sheet is to be collated and folded ; b being the first signature com- mencing the body of a work. In Parliamentary Bills, Chancery Bills, and similar work, however, it is usual and necessary to insert the letter. (See Signatures.) Abbreviations.— In the primitive times of Printing most Latin words were abbreviated, in order to save paper, com- position, and presswork. As reading, however, became more general, they were by degrees abolished, except in legal works. The present practice in regard to abbreviations,—as in side- notes, &c,—is not to abridge a word at the end of a syllable, but always to annex one or more letters of the next syllable and always to carry the reading part so far that it cannot be mistaken for any other word. A vast number of abbreviations are in use at present, such as Ps. for Psalms ; Jan. for January A.li. for Artxwm Baccalaureus (Bachelor of Arts); L.S. for locus sif/il/i; Jitr. for Jurenalis. &c A complete list of these will lie found in "The Guide to Typography," by Henry Beadnell, 1859, Vol. I., p. 199, et seq. Accents.—" Certain marks over vowels to direct the modula- tion of the voice. In the English language they are chiefly used in Spelling-books or Dictionaries, to mark the syllable's, and where to lay particular stress in pronunciation." — Murray. Those letters which are called by printers Accented, are the five vowels, marked as follows: Acute . Long . a Grave . Short . Circumflex Diaeresis i — — The Printers' Register.

Place and space are significant to the progress of all trades, but, with the exception of the James Raven’s Bookscape: geographies of printing and publishing in London, these concepts have generally been overlooked when it comes to printing and the products of the press.

Not listed here are presses outside the accessioned collections, such as two Vandercook proof presses (a Model 4T and a Universal III) that are now earning an honest living in the office printing shop. At some future time, no doubt, they too will be retired into the collections. The Division of Graphic Arts was established in 1886 as a special kind of print collection with the purpose of representing “art as an industry.” For many years collecting was centered around prints, together with the plates and tools that made them. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the Division begin to collect printing presses systematically. Even more recently, the scope of collecting has been broadened to include printing type and type-making apparatus.

    Oak Knoll Special Catalogue No. 19 1 OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Oak Knoll Books has handled many examples of type specimen catalogues over the years. One would think that interest in old books showing type faces would have gone by the wayside long ago but nothing could be further from the truth. I was recently give a book by Tony Cox, a bookseller friend of mine, for bedside reading while I was visiting him in England and found the stories of type and their development fascinating (Simon Garfield. Just My Type). For those of you who have seen the film Helvetica you can relate to the impact type faces have on our lives. We are now offering you a selection of interesting specimen books and booklets that might inspire those of you doing design work or educate those of you that are doing research. And go back and reread McGrew’s American Metal Type Faces of the 20th Century and Annenberg’s Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues (both Oak Knoll Press publications) for their invaluable information (see last page of our catalogue for more details). Happy hunting! Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books.

Thanks in part to the spread of dissenting ideas, the Roman Catholic Church, the dominant institution of medieval Europe, found its control slipping.
