Shaw, B: Bernard Shaw on Modern Typography -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Bernard Shaw on Modern Typography: Reprinted From the Magazine London

When a proof has been sent me with two or three lines so widely spaced as to make a grey band across the page,i have often re/written the passage so as to fill up the lines better; but I am sorry to say that my ob 'edt has generally been so little understoo that the compositor has spoilt all the rest of the para aph instead of mending his former ba work. Some of the American imitators of William Mor/ ris have actually introduced copies of his leaf ornaments between their sentences, and then made a wide space after the orna/ ment as if to prove how little they under/ stood what he used it for.
