Excerpt from The Newspaper Press of Charleston, S. C: A Chronological and Biographical History, Embracing a Period of One Hundred and Forty YearsTo you, sir, the only surviving typographer of the past century, now living in this City, I inscribe this work. As you are aware, it is the only history of the rise and progress of the newspaper press of Charleston, S. C. I desire to prefix your name to this brochure, for two reasons. First, as an acknowledgment of the kindness you have ever evinced towards the craft. Secondly, because through the course of your long life, you have been that exemplar of rectitude to whom they of the stick and rule, will point in the future, as they have in the past, with pride and honor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
