Another instance of many sided enterprises which has of la f ,e distinguished the management of the Times, is the publication of a reprint of the annual news summaries which have appeared in the leading journal for twenty-five years past. The reprint forms a duodecimo volume of 598 pages, yet it is issued at the low price of a shilling. A note at the end of the book states that its contents were "setup" in ten days, of eight hours each, by four lads working at two composiDg machines, being at the rate of 2153 lines per day. It was then printed from stereotype plates in perfected sheets of 128 pages each on the Walter press, at the rate of 12,000 per hour. These facts seem to prognosticate a great future for type-setting machines, which have hitherto been fought shy of by newspaper proprietors as a class, through the Graphic has been printed by a machine of the kind for several years. The Scotsman which may be considered at once the limes and Telegraph of Scotland, has published some figures setting forth its undoubted claim to be regarded as the leading Scottish journal. From these figures it appears that the daily circulation of the Scotsman is now over 45,000, and that it is steadily increasing from month to month. The proprietors allege, and doubtless with correctness, that its circulation now much exceeds that of any other daily paper either in England or Scotland, out of London. The advertisements are advancing in equal proportion. In 1866 they numbered 165,577 ; in 1875 they had risen to 329,566. The increase has been steady and uninterrupted from year to year; the increase in 1875 over 1871-, for example, bein<.r 18.880. Considering the size and character of Edinburgh, these figures are remarkable. COTTAGE RANGES For Cheapness, Efficiency, and Comfort not to be equalled in the colonies.
