ul points to which it is desirable that the
latter's attention should be drawn, the proof--known as the "first
revise"--and the manuscript are sent to the author for his reading and
correction or alteration.[2]

[Footnote 2: If the book is to be illustrated, the
author or publisher should be particular to
indicate the position of all cuts by pasting proofs
of them on the margin of the galley-proofs nearest
the place desired. The time occupied by the
"make-up" in "overrunning" matter for the insertion
of cuts is charged as "author's time," and they can
be inserted at less expense in the galley-proofs
while making-up the type into pages than at any
other time. All alterations, so far as practicable,
for the same reason, should also be made in the
galley-proofs, especially those which involve an
increase or decrease in the amount of matter, since
changes of this nature made in the page-proof
necessitate the added expense of a rearrangement of
the made-up pages of type.]

On the return of the galley-proofs to the printer, the changes
indicated on the margins are made by compositors selected for the
purpose, and the galleys of type and the proofs are then turned over
by them to the "make-up." The "make-up" inserts the cuts, divides the
matter into page lengths, and adds the running titles and folios at
the heads of the pages.

At this stage the separate types composing the page are held in place
and together by strong twine called "page cord," which is wound around
the whole page several times, the end being so tucked in at the corner
as to prevent its becoming unfastened prematurely. The page thus held
together is quite secure against being "pied" if proper care is
exercised in handling it, and it can be put on a hand-press and
excellent proofs readily taken from it. A loosely tied page, however,
may allow the letters to spread apart at the ends of the lines, or the
type to get "off its feet," or may show lines slightly curved or
letters out of alignment. The proof of a page displaying such
conditions often causes the author, unlearned in printers' methods,
much perturbation of mind and unnecessary fear that his book is go
