Medium description: | Moxon's "Mechanik Exercises". Brengelman (1980) claims that advice on "press correction" was "practically nonexistent" prior to Moxon's work. Further he suggests that although Moxon includes recommendations as to how proofreading ought to be conducted in a publishing house, these were rarely acted upon and that much proofreading was at that time and beyond conducted by the author themselves. | |||
