Apprentice Lay up, Distihute, Composing, Spacing, Make up, I mposing, Correcting, Clicker, Companionship, Overseer, Reader, A bbreviation, Division, Orthography, Phrases, Punctuation, c., he has endeavoured to give instructions which may help to make good workmen, or enable persons in charge of presses, who are not Printers, to understand better what are the duties of the workmen in their employ.
