520 _a"Typesetting" by A. A. Stewart is a technical primer written in the early 20th century. This instructional work focuses on the craft of typesetting, particularly hand composition techniques relevant to the field of printing. It likely aims to equip aspiring apprentices with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively perform typesetting, while also emphasizing the value of craftsmanship and artistry in printed materials. The opening of "Typesetting" discusses the ongoing relevance and importance of hand composition in an era increasingly dominated by machine printing. The author addresses misconceptions about the diminishing need for skilled hand compositors, arguing instead for the necessity of understanding hand typesetting practices as foundational for using machinery effectively. Stewart outlines the essential practices and habits that young compositors should adopt, such as maintaining a clean work environment and developing proficient techniques for handling type. He begins to introduce the components of typesetting, from understanding different types of cases to the habits that promote effective and precise typesetting.
