    N The Educational World, Nothing Is More...

    recent address to the Birmingham Typographia , traced the history of printing from the earliest

    period , and having described the cumbersome and defective tools of former times , he

    counselled the younger members of the trade to take a great and artistic interest in their work ,

    that they might enjoy , not only the work itself , but also the reputation for high quality ,

    and that they might feel they had rendered really valuable service to their generation .

    Thus , not only do books produce higher culture , but practical culture will raise the standard

    of books .
