Excerpt from Pens and Types: Or Hints and Helps for Those Who Write, Print, Read, Teach, or Learn
Our first edition of "Pens and Types: or Hints and Helps for those who Write, Print, or Read," was especially prepared for the benefit of persons connected with the press. It had, however, a wide circulation among persons of all professions, and became a reference book in some notable institutions of learning.
A distinguished lady teacher in a neighboring city writes us, "I found the book ["Pens and Types"] of the greatest benefit, both in my work of teaching, and in the writing I occasionally did for the press. It was an invaluable aid to those who were trying to train the young in habits of correctness and accuracy in the use of their mother tongue. Such a work should never be out of print, and I am glad there is to be another edition." We might refer to many who have expressed similar opinions.
