Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Paper Ruling
When Mr. Arthur Shaw approached me with the request that I should write what I know concerning my craft, I was somewhat loth to undertake the task by reason of the difi'i culties with which such a work bristles. By the aid of many friends, however, I have surmounted them, and I now ask their acceptance of the thanks both of myself and the publishers. Especially is this so in the case of the two contemporary writers whose works appear in this book.
