superlative sense they were seen and marked of the Father; were accorded
a place of record in the pages of the great WHITE BOOK with golden

TYPOGRAPHICALLY--

Mechanically; that is to say, in those features that reflect the
finished artistic achievement of the Print, Picture and Binding art; as
seen in the bold clear type of its text, its striking and beautiful
illustrations, its illuminating title heads of division and chapter;
indicating at a glance the information to follow; the whole appealing to
the aesthetic; the sticklers for the rare and beautiful; not overlooking
its superb binding, it is most pleasing to the sight, and worthy of the
title it bears.
