A Short History Of Stereotyping (1927)
"In offering this little book on Stereotyping to my friends. the Master Stereotypers of America, I do not make any claim for originality. I undertook this task of recording and compiling a sequence of historical and mechanical facts pertaining to the art of stereotyping in order to render the reader conversant with the origin and development of that art to which he is devoting his time, energy and skill.If this booklet will serve to only one purpose, namely to instill in the American stereotyper the conviction that sterotyping is an ART, born thru centuries of hard, unceasing toil on the part of eminent men and that in doing his daily bit, he is carrying on the traditions of a craft, and thus take additional pride
in his daily task, I will feel most amply repaid for the time and labor I have spent in gathering the material contained in this booklet." (Foreword)
