Compositors are supposed to be able, to decipher all kinds of handwriting. On this point Robert Clark, the Edinburgh printer, used to tell a story. Professor Lindsay Alexander came into his office one Friday with the manuscript of a sermon, " You must let me have proofs of this to-morrow," he said. Mr Clark told him the time was too short. He must give them a few-days' longer. "No," he said, "I must preach this sermon to-morrow. It is a special sermon. I wrote it ten years ago ? and now I can't make out a word of it."
