/Considerable Light Is Thrown On The Yj ...
/ CONSIDERABLE light is thrown on the yj recent progress of the Publishing Trade
and other allied industries in the pages of the new edition of Kelly ' s well-known Directory
of ' Stationers , Printers , Publishers , Booksellers , and Papermakers . ' The first edition
of this work appeared ^ k in 1872 , and the fourth in 1885 , but since the latter date—as we shall
presently show—advancement has been continuous and rapid , and the pessimists stand
rebuked by the inexorable logic of facts . For example , although only four years have elapsed
since the last issue o £ this standard work of reference , there are already nearly ten thousand
additional names to chronicle . When due allowance is made for the growth of the
population and the long-deferred revival of trade which at length really seems to have set in ,
this remarkable increase is , to say the least , both significant and cheering . It may indeed
be regarded by that shadowy personage the * general reader' as a manifest , though
indirect , compliment to the growing intelligence of that numerous and widely-scattered portion
of the community to which he himself belongs . Amongst other interesting pieces of
information which we have gleaned from the same authoritative source , and all of which point
towards an additional demand for pens , ink , and paper , is the statement that the
newspapers of the United Kingdom now number two thousand one hundred and eighty-six ,
which means in other words an increase ^ of one hundred and thirty-four within the
comparatively brief interval between the present time and June 1885 . No less than one
hun-, dred and seventy-four are published daily ,
and this fact alone shows how rapidly that
t form of literary activity is-spreading in these
days . The magazines which are now published , including + mm * the qJim uarterly reviews , Jreach
the startling total of one million five hundred and ninety-three thousand , an increase , within
the last four years , of two hundred and ninetyfive .
Although it is impossible , since the abolition of the duty on paper , to speak with
absolute certainty on such a point , it is believed that five hundred and forty-nine thousand
one hundred and twenty tons of paper are produced in this country , exclusive of that
which is manufactured in Irish mills . These facts , all of which are gathered from the
source we have named , indicate the satisfactory and steady progress in the trades concerned ;
and even when the full significance of such figures is-taken into account , it must , of
course , not be forgotten that at best they only I represent after all a ' small proportion of the 11 I
number to whom literature in some shape or I form actually affords employment . ' \ — - II
