Charles Knight Once Upon a Time (Classic Reprint) - Online indir

Excerpt from Once Upon a TimeIT was evensong time when, after a day of listlessness, the printers in the Almonry at Westminster prepared to close the doors of their workshop. This was a tolerably spacious room, with a carved oaken roof. The setting sun shone brightly into the chamber, and lighted up such furniture as no other room in London could then exhibit. Between the columns which supported the roof stood two presses - ponderous machines. A form Of types lay unread upon the table Of one of these presses; the other was empty. There were cases ranged between the Opposite columns; but there was no copy suspended ready for the compositors to proceed with in the morning. NO heap of wet paper was piled upon the floor. The balls, removed from the presses, were rotting in a corner. The ink-blocks were dusty, and a thin film had formed over the Oily pigment. He who had set these machines in motion, and filled the whole space with the activity Of mind, was dead. His daily work was ended.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
