'Typography' in. .the Encyclopaedia Britannica (Chicago and London, 1929). . It was reconsidered and entirely re-written For No. 7 of The Fleuron. .A few verbal changes have been made in the present Amsterdam edition.' ". Lehmann-Haupt: "Stanley Morison is perhaps the ideal combination of a practical typographer and a student of the printing craft. His First Principles of Typography is valuable as a simple and clear statement of how to use type. He has succeeded in the very difficult task of presenting in short form the few rules that are permanently valid. Also, he tells enough about the reasons for these rules to make it clear when they are not needed - an excellent thing to know.
