Notes

  • "In introducing our Circular to the notice of the Printing and Stationery Trade, we respectfully direct attention to the fact that it is our intention to appear Quarterly, and to send gratis and post free each issue a copy to every Printer, Bookbinder and Stationer in the United Kingdom; and if it should so happen that we have unwittingly omitted any one in the trade from our list, on receipt of business card we shall be pleased to forward him a copy, and register his name for future issues. It will be our endeavour from time to time as occasion demands to describe in a practical and lucid manner the advent of any novelty or new invention, whether of Foreign or British manufacture, and also to dwell in a brief manner upon the current topics of the Printing Trade; and we shall be glad to receive at any time from inventors particulars of any novelty they may wish to be noticed, for which we make no charge. At the same time we wish it distinctly to be understood that descriptions of articles and machinery are not to be purchased in this Circular, but we shall endeavour to treat everybody in an impartial manner. With the foregoing remarks we make our debut" ("Ourselves," vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2)
