Summary
THE ECHO
A very important work on the History and Practice of Typography.
THE LIVERPOOL ALBION
Southward's Dictionary of Typography and its Accessory Arts is now complete. It has been issued as a supplement to that exceedingly useful and practical magazine—the Printers' Register—in instalments extending over two years, and is already recognised as a standard authority on the important subject on which it treats with so much ability and perspicuity.
THE STAFFORDSHIRE ADVERTISER
The announced completion of the valuable Dictionary of Typography and its Accessory Arts in the Printers' Register affords an opportunity of calling attention to that valuable work. It deserves in every respect to become the standard book on printing, and it is no less complete than accurate. An equal amount of information of this kind was never previously condensed into one volume, and it is in fact a monument of the painstaking and research of its compiler.
THE WARRINGT0N GUARDIAN
A very valuable Dictionary of the terms employed in printing offices, a description of printing machinery, &c.
THE PRINTERS' REGISTER
It will undoubtedly become the standard English treatise on printing, especially after the many improvements and additions which have been made by the author, Mr. John Southward, who has already rendered himself an authority in this branch of literature.
