It is not the purpose of this book to try toestablish a claim for printing that it is an art.It is hoped that it may show that the principlesof art may be applied to printing, and thatsuch application may lead to improvement insome essentials of printing.
Thanks are due to several experts in printingwho have read the proofs, and have givenwise and acceptable counsel.
I desire to acknowledge that aid has beenfreely sought from books upon art, and that insome instances forms of expression have beenadopted from them. No originality is claimedfor the allusions to art, nor for art terms andformulas employed.
