(Continued from last week) Publishing


Ask your printer the name of the type you have selected and the vari- ous sizes you will use for the text, the headings, the footnotes, etc


Mark these down and before turning over your copy, mark in colored pen- cil the various type faces and sizes. Your printer has other jobs besides yours and unless you are careful to mark all your type sizes and faces and indicate where you want more space and what should be in capi- tals and what in Italles, you will later face the necessity of arguing as to


terial was not set up properly. If you are having your, book privately printed you must be your own editor and you must, therefore, be doubly vigilant.


As for ink, you should insist on his using the best grade that will make the most distinct copy on the page you select. The binding, also, is of importance. The folded sheets should be sewed with good linen thread and have double reinforced backs and


1847. Register, 3 vols. 1847-1913, Farr. alph .; 1914 arr. chron. 184-1913 pno index; 1914 Indexed alph. by child- ren. Includes marriages and deaths 1847-1907. "There are a few gaps head boards. The boards for covers should be of the best quality and cov- ered with a durable cloth or buckram. The backbone, the front cover, and the title page should be attractive and dignified in appearance.


If you are using illustrations or maps that are smaller than a full page and have selected a paper which reproduces equally well for both type and illustrative material, it is advisable to decide exactly what position on the page your small 11- lustration or map will have so that the printer may set the type in short lines around the illustration.


First you will receive a galley proof, long strips of three or more pages per strip, which you should read carefully, indicating all the cor- rections of printer's errors and your own changes. It is advisable to use different colored pencils for each so that there will laterf be no argument as to the resetting of how many lines (most book printing is done on a Ilnotype machine and every word changed means "the resetting of a line) you are willing to pay for.


Make all your changes In the galley proof. Changes in page proof are. more costly.


After the galleys are returned to. the printer he will set the type into pages and send you page proof. This again should be read carefully. You should now also have an engraver's proof of the maps and illustrations you are including. Check your leg- ends. See that your footnotes are properly placed so that the text; in- dication and the footnote reference occur on the same page. Try to have your pages look well balanced. De. not have one or two words of a last line beginning a new page. If this oc- curs fill the line by adding a few words elther there or somewhere be- fore this break occurs. Also do not have a chapter ending with too few Ilnes. These are minor matters but it you want a well-made book you must take such details into consideration.


Now you are ready for the making of your index. If you have already followed the instructions on index- ing in Chapter X you will have your slips already made from your page proof. Then alphabetize and coordi- nate your Index slips according to the instructions given in chapter X, type the slips on sheets of paper and have the printer set the copy into type, generally in a much smaller point type (in the interests of econ- omy and not for any other reason)! and in double column. On the index- too you will receive a proof which should be checked carefully with


your sheets and checked back to the text wherever any queries occur.


The book is now ready for final printing and binding, except for one step, and that is the securing of & copyright. By copyrighting your work you make certain that no one else can print it and claim it as hig own. On the reverse of your title page you should have printed the fol- lowing: "Copyright, date, by. your- name. All rights reserved.

The registration . fee costs two dollars, the notary fee. a dollar or less and two printed cop -. ies of the book have to be sent to the. Copyright Office, Washington, D. C .. and will eventually be deposited iras the Library of Congress. Books print- ed or reproduced in any of the new- er forms discussed later in this chap- ter may also be copyrighted.

The Last Salisbury Yale


LeRoy Yale of Herkimer was the last of the score or more of Yales that lived in Salisbury when I was a boy. Today not a Yale is to be found in the town. .


Boyhood Neighbors


When I was a boy in Civil War days there were at least five Yale families living in the town of Salls- bury. There was Divan Berry , Yale, farmer and peddler, father of ten children. Not many are living today who can recall the oid time peddler whose cart was filied with jingling tinware. His wife was Rosetta Bran- son, a native of Herkimer.


Allen Yaie was a farmer. He mar- ried Laura, Smith and they had sev- en children. Their son Truman mar- ried Mary 'Churchill of Little Falls.

to Alder Creek


where he became postmaster. They had four children.


Ruth, the Middleville centrai school teacher is the last Yale now living in Herkimer county of that branch of Yales. During my lifetime many of the staid old Puritan families have disappeared from my native town


The iast Yale family in the town of Salisbury was that of Burrage Yaie who lived on the third farm on the right just west of Salisbury Center. He married Flora Smith for his first wife and they had two children-El- mina who married Anderson Young of Middieville and Julius who has a and their places have been taken by an entirely different ciass of people, What effect this immigration wiii have on our country time alone will teii! daughter, Mildred, living in New York city.

Training School of the State of Lucretia Yale, sister of Elihu Yale, New York, in cooperation with the donor to Yale university, married Moses Yale Beach, proprietor of the New York Inn and the originator of the Penny Press. Their son Milton was a famous old time school teach- er. Igrecall that he taught in the old red school house two miles east of Salisbury Center, then called the toll gate school because It stood near the subscription prices. The publication quite often contains articles written for, local historians and genealogists. Mr. Ritchie In his article writes: "A few years ago the writer be- gan . to compile data on Saratoga county families and discovered that a wealth of ainformation was avall- able in county and town offices, 11- braries, church records, etc. By coop- eration with the county historian, Mrs. „Grace" Vanderwerker, and a toll gate on the old plank road to Deveraux (Stratford.) Later Milton taught in Salisbury Center. He mar- ried Clara Thompson, daughter of William J .Thompson of Sailsbury Corners. They moved to Angelica, N. Y. where they kept a store several years, and then moved to New York city. They had two sons Fred and Will. I think Fred is now living on Long Island. Will died a few weeks ago, I think in Great Neck, N. Y. He It was who gave the beautiful and ornate Yale . monument now standing in the Salisbury Corners cemetery where so many Yaies are sleeping. This monument was exe- cuted by th celebratd sculptor Her- mon A. MacNeil and was unveiled Map 20, 1939.
