Typographically Speaking
In a career that has spanned more than forty years, Matthew Carter has designed many of the typefaces that we see every day in and on publications, books, signs, and screens. Carter's celebrated typefaces include such stalwarts as Galliard, Mantinia, and Verdana. In 1975, he created the now-pervasive Bell Centennial specifically for use in phone books. Publications including Sports Illustrated, the Daily News, Wired, and the Washington Post, along with cultural institutions such as the Walker Arts Center and The Victoria & Albert Museum, have all commissioned Carter fonts. Typographically Speaking: The Art of Matthew Carter entered the field in the days of hand-cut punches and hot-metal type, and has continued to innovate through the eras of photocomposition and digital design. Essays discuss the form of his work, his position and use of typographic history, and his technological innovation. All of his fonts are reproduced in full for reference, and illustrations place his designs in context. Published in conjunction with the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

The Judges in Ireland, 1221-1921
Ball, F. Elrington. The Judges in Ireland, 1221-1921. London: John Murray. [1926]. 2 volumes, each with frontispiece. Reprint available September 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-428-2. Cloth. $195. * "These interesting volumes serve a double purpose; they supply condensed biographies (in the style of the Dictionary of National Biography) of all who held judicial office in Ireland from the earliest days down to the new constitution, with references to sources and chronological tables. In short, they are the Irish counterpart to Foss's book, The Judges of England. And secondly, the general chapters are a careful history of the Irish judiciary, its members, their politics and connections, and the legal profession in general, with some remarks upon the history of the courts in Ireland. ": T.F.T. Plucknett, Harvard Law Review 41:275.
