Anastatic Printing

e are happy to hcar that Messrs Wiley & Putman of thiscity have established a press for Anastaíic work, and that they will reproduce some copiously illustraled English works, which could not othcrwise be published in this country. The advantnges of this system over the old one of types and engravings are too palpable to necd enumerating. But it will produce a revolution in the system of publishing in this country, greaterthan can be eíTected in any other, because it must lead to the enactmont of soma kind of antional copy-right law. With the aid of an anastatjc press, every bookseller will l)ereafter bo his own publisher - and the most costly work - costly on the score of illuslralions or beauty of type - may be reproduced in ton minutes or less, and there will be no necessity for striking any more copies than will meet with an immediate demand. Ifa customer should cali for a new work, the book-seller may teil him to wait a few minutes, while he irints it for him. The savin in labor, capital and machinery will be altnost incalculable, and books will have hardly any valne bcyond the worth of the paper on which they are printed excepling that which a copy-right will give them. Not only will every bookseller be his own mnter and publisher, but every library may print its own books, that is supposing hat a copy can first be got to print 'rom.
