Printing, in the only sense with which we are at present concerned, differs from most if not from all the arts and crafts represented in the Exhibition | LJ001-0001.wav | 232.466583 | 58.509834 | 60.145687 | 48.034794 | slightly fast | pɹɪntɪŋ, ɪn ðʌ oʊnli sɛns wɪð wɪtʃ wi ɑɹ æt pɹɛzʌnt kʌnsɜ˞nd, dɪfɜ˞z fɹʌm moʊst ɪf nɑt fɹʌm ɔl ðʌ ɑɹts ʌnd kɹæfts ɹɛpɹɪzɛntɪd ɪn ðʌ ɛksʌbɪʃʌn | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |

the invention of movable metal letters in the middle of the fifteenth century may justly be considered as the invention of the art of printing. | LJ001-0005.wav | 225.25885 | 60.554264 | 42.986057 | 43.73724 | slightly fast | ðʌ ɪnvɛnʃʌn ʌv muvʌbʌl mɛtʌl lɛtɜ˞z ɪn ðʌ mɪdʌl ʌv ðʌ fɪftinθ sɛntʃɜ˞i meɪ dʒʌstli bi kʌnsɪdɜ˞d æz ðʌ ɪnvɛnʃʌn ʌv ðʌ ɑɹt ʌv pɹɪntɪŋ. | slightly noisy | moderate reverberation | moderate intonation |
And it is worth mention in passing that, as an example of fine typography, | LJ001-0006.wav | 229.290344 | 58.377308 | 53.464668 | 43.175735 | moderate speed | ʌnd ɪt ɪz wɜ˞θ mɛnʃʌn ɪn pæsɪŋ ðæt, æz æn ɪɡzæmpʌl ʌv faɪn tʌpɑɡɹʌfi, | moderate ambient sound | moderate reverberation | moderate intonation |

Printing, then, for our purpose, may be considered as the art of making books by means of movable types. | LJ001-0009.wav | 224.137436 | 66.511223 | 54.834431 | 56.874104 | moderate speed | pɹɪntɪŋ, ðɛn, fɔɹ aʊɜ˞ pɜ˞pʌs, meɪ bi kʌnsɪdɜ˞d æz ðʌ ɑɹt ʌv meɪkɪŋ bʊks baɪ minz ʌv muvʌbʌl taɪps. | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
Now, as all books not primarily intended as picture-books consist principally of types composed to form letterpress, | LJ001-0010.wav | 229.243271 | 54.303326 | 53.642479 | 59.075523 | moderate speed | naʊ, æz ɔl bʊks nɑt pɹaɪmɛɹʌli ɪntɛndɪd æz pɪktʃɜ˞-bʊks kʌnsɪst pɹɪnsɪpli ʌv taɪps kʌmpoʊzd tu fɔɹm lɛtɜ˞pɹɛs, | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
it is of the first importance that the letter used should be fine in form; | LJ001-0011.wav | 242.796432 | 61.528194 | 47.286049 | 35.429943 | slightly fast | ɪt ɪz ʌv ðʌ fɜ˞st ɪmpɔɹtʌns ðæt ðʌ lɛtɜ˞ juzd ʃʊd bi faɪn ɪn fɔɹm; | slightly noisy | quite roomy sounding | moderate intonation |
especially as no more time is occupied, or cost incurred, in casting, setting, or printing beautiful letters | LJ001-0012.wav | 239.895554 | 54.065098 | 56.081654 | 47.90414 | moderate speed | ʌspɛʃli æz noʊ mɔɹ taɪm ɪz ɑkjʌpaɪd, ɔɹ kɑst ɪnkɜ˞d, ɪn kæstɪŋ, sɛtɪŋ, ɔɹ pɹɪntɪŋ bjutʌfʌl lɛtɜ˞z | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |

And it was a matter of course that in the Middle Ages, when the craftsmen took care that beautiful form should always be a part of their productions whatever they were, | LJ001-0014.wav | 238.23909 | 61.371181 | 51.293945 | 56.924477 | slightly fast | ʌnd ɪt wɑz ʌ mætɜ˞ ʌv kɔɹs ðæt ɪn ðʌ mɪdʌl eɪdʒʌz, wɛn ðʌ kɹæftsmɛn tʊk kɛɹ ðæt bjutʌfʌl fɔɹm ʃʊd ɔlweɪz bi ʌ pɑɹt ʌv ðɛɹ pɹʌdʌkʃʌnz wʌtɛvɜ˞ ðeɪ wɜ˞, | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
the forms of printed letters should be beautiful, and that their arrangement on the page should be reasonable and a help to the shapeliness of the letters themselves. | LJ001-0015.wav | 225.999634 | 69.042137 | 59.591972 | 46.524944 | slightly fast | ðʌ fɔɹmz ʌv pɹɪntɪd lɛtɜ˞z ʃʊd bi bjutʌfʌl, ʌnd ðæt ðɛɹ ɜ˞eɪndʒmʌnt ɑn ðʌ peɪdʒ ʃʊd bi ɹizʌnʌbʌl ʌnd ʌ hɛlp tu ðʌ ʌv ðʌ lɛtɜ˞z ðɛmsɛlvz. | slightly clear | moderate reverberation | moderate intonation |
The Middle Ages brought calligraphy to perfection, and it was natural therefore | LJ001-0016.wav | 227.993011 | 57.957253 | 55.275906 | 38.511719 | moderate speed | ðʌ mɪdʌl eɪdʒʌz bɹɔt kʌlɪɡɹʌfi tu pɜ˞fɛkʃʌn, ʌnd ɪt wɑz nætʃɜ˞ʌl ðɛɹfɔɹ | slightly clear | quite roomy sounding | moderate intonation |
that the forms of printed letters should follow more or less closely those of the written character, and they followed them very closely. | LJ001-0017.wav | 235.258011 | 61.785957 | 53.331829 | 56.401264 | quite fast | ðæt ðʌ fɔɹmz ʌv pɹɪntɪd lɛtɜ˞z ʃʊd fɑloʊ mɔɹ ɔɹ lɛs kloʊsli ðoʊz ʌv ðʌ ɹɪtʌn kɛɹɪktɜ˞, ʌnd ðeɪ fɑloʊd ðɛm vɛɹi kloʊsli. | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
The first books were printed in black letter, i.e. the letter which was a Gothic development of the ancient Roman character, | LJ001-0018.wav | 221.452499 | 49.229992 | 49.933163 | 56.604401 | slightly fast | ðʌ fɜ˞st bʊks wɜ˞ pɹɪntɪd ɪn blæk lɛtɜ˞, aɪi ðʌ lɛtɜ˞ wɪtʃ wɑz ʌ ɡɑθɪk dɪvɛlʌpmʌnt ʌv ðʌ eɪntʃʌnt ɹoʊmʌn kɛɹɪktɜ˞, | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | slightly monotone |
and which developed more completely and satisfactorily on the side of the "lower-case" than the capital letters; | LJ001-0019.wav | 227.955582 | 59.085922 | 50.267551 | 55.966679 | slightly fast | ʌnd wɪtʃ dɪvɛlʌpt mɔɹ kʌmplitli ʌnd sætɪsfæktɹʌli ɑn ðʌ saɪd ʌv ðʌ "loʊɜ˞-keɪs" ðæn ðʌ kæpʌtʌl lɛtɜ˞z; | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
the "lower-case" being in fact invented in the early Middle Ages. | LJ001-0020.wav | 208.07695 | 77.536392 | 54.064198 | 57.646805 | moderate speed | ðʌ "loʊɜ˞-keɪs" biɪŋ ɪn fækt ɪnvɛntʌd ɪn ðʌ ɜ˞li mɪdʌl eɪdʒʌz. | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive |
The earliest book printed with movable type, the aforesaid Gutenberg Bible, is printed in letters which are an exact imitation | LJ001-0021.wav | 235.97522 | 54.230118 | 54.98296 | 48.22023 | moderate speed | ðʌ ɜ˞liʌst bʊk pɹɪntɪd wɪð muvʌbʌl taɪp, ðʌ ʌfɔɹsɛd ɡutʌnbɜ˞ɡ baɪbʌl, ɪz pɹɪntɪd ɪn lɛtɜ˞z wɪtʃ ɑɹ æn ɪɡzækt ɪmʌteɪʃʌn | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |
of the more formal ecclesiastical writing which obtained at that time; this has since been called "missal type," | LJ001-0022.wav | 217.225388 | 68.188072 | 58.058502 | 57.627197 | moderate speed | ʌv ðʌ mɔɹ fɔɹmʌl ɪkliziæstɪkʌl ɹaɪtɪŋ wɪtʃ ʌbteɪnd æt ðæt taɪm; ðɪs hæz sɪns bɪn kɔld "mɪsʌl taɪp," | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
and was in fact the kind of letter used in the many splendid missals, psalters, etc., produced by printing in the fifteenth century. | LJ001-0023.wav | 222.751617 | 55.134567 | 52.667603 | 51.34724 | slightly fast | ʌnd wɑz ɪn fækt ðʌ kaɪnd ʌv lɛtɜ˞ juzd ɪn ðʌ mɛni splɛndɪd , sɔltɜ˞z, ɛtsɛtɜ˞ʌ, pɹʌdust baɪ pɹɪntɪŋ ɪn ðʌ fɪftinθ sɛntʃɜ˞i. | moderate ambient sound | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |
But the first Bible actually dated (which also was printed at Maintz by Peter Schoeffer in the year 1462) | LJ001-0024.wav | 224.342163 | 59.696278 | 58.154148 | 59.257488 | slightly slowly | bʌt ðʌ fɜ˞st baɪbʌl æktʃuʌli deɪtɪd (wɪtʃ ɔlsoʊ wɑz pɹɪntɪd æt baɪ pitɜ˞ ɪn ðʌ jɪɹ ) | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
imitates a much freer hand, simpler, rounder, and less spiky, and therefore far pleasanter and easier to read. | LJ001-0025.wav | 241.583633 | 81.365883 | 55.250038 | 32.420124 | slightly slowly | ɪmʌteɪts ʌ mʌtʃ fɹiɜ˞ hænd, sɪmpʌlɜ˞, ɹaʊndɜ˞, ʌnd lɛs spaɪki, ʌnd ðɛɹfɔɹ fɑɹ ʌnd iziɜ˞ tu ɹɛd. | slightly clear | very roomy sounding | slightly expressive |
On the whole the type of this book may be considered the ne-plus-ultra of Gothic type, | LJ001-0026.wav | 252.930008 | 72.660179 | 64.922127 | 35.487804 | moderate speed | ɑn ðʌ hoʊl ðʌ taɪp ʌv ðɪs bʊk meɪ bi kʌnsɪdɜ˞d ðʌ ni-plʌs-ʌltɹʌ ʌv ɡɑθɪk taɪp, | quite clear | quite roomy sounding | slightly expressive |
especially as regards the lower-case letters; and type very similar was used during the next fifteen or twenty years not only by Schoeffer, | LJ001-0027.wav | 232.804565 | 61.272228 | 58.015011 | 52.496559 | moderate speed | ʌspɛʃli æz ɹɪɡɑɹdz ðʌ loʊɜ˞-keɪs lɛtɜ˞z; ʌnd taɪp vɛɹi sɪmʌlɜ˞ wɑz juzd dʊɹɪŋ ðʌ nɛkst fɪftin ɔɹ twɛnti jɪɹz nɑt oʊnli baɪ , | slightly clear | quite confined sounding | moderate intonation |

But though on the whole, except in Italy, Gothic letter was most often used | LJ001-0029.wav | 224.93985 | 66.095024 | 50.203327 | 58.558743 | moderate speed | bʌt ðoʊ ɑn ðʌ hoʊl, ɪksɛpt ɪn ɪtʌli, ɡɑθɪk lɛtɜ˞ wɑz moʊst ɔfʌn juzd | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
a very few years saw the birth of Roman character not only in Italy, but in Germany and France. | LJ001-0030.wav | 204.125427 | 54.493309 | 53.036961 | 58.199017 | moderate speed | ʌ vɛɹi fju jɪɹz sɔ ðʌ bɜ˞θ ʌv ɹoʊmʌn kɛɹɪktɜ˞ nɑt oʊnli ɪn ɪtʌli, bʌt ɪn dʒɜ˞mʌni ʌnd fɹæns. | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
In 1465 Sweynheim and Pannartz began printing in the monastery of Subiaco near Rome, | LJ001-0031.wav | 222.437073 | 62.883102 | 54.081299 | 47.411861 | quite slowly | ɪn ʌnd bɪɡæn pɹɪntɪŋ ɪn ðʌ mɑnʌstɛɹi ʌv nɪɹ ɹoʊm, | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |
and used an exceedingly beautiful type, which is indeed to look at a transition between Gothic and Roman, | LJ001-0032.wav | 218.337662 | 48.535698 | 55.955059 | 40.713249 | moderate speed | ʌnd juzd æn ɪksidɪŋli bjutʌfʌl taɪp, wɪtʃ ɪz ɪndid tu lʊk æt ʌ tɹænzɪʃʌn bɪtwin ɡɑθɪk ʌnd ɹoʊmʌn, | slightly clear | slightly roomy sounding | slightly monotone |
but which must certainly have come from the study of the twelfth or even the eleventh century MSS. | LJ001-0033.wav | 228.114807 | 71.27253 | 49.549046 | 49.292526 | moderate speed | bʌt wɪtʃ mʌst sɜ˞tʌnli hæv kʌm fɹʌm ðʌ stʌdi ʌv ðʌ twɛlfθ ɔɹ ivɪn ðʌ ɪlɛvʌnθ sɛntʃɜ˞i . | moderate ambient sound | slightly confined sounding | slightly expressive |
They printed very few books in this type, three only; but in their very first books in Rome, beginning with the year 1468, | LJ001-0034.wav | 215.252991 | 54.560879 | 57.047256 | 37.772316 | moderate speed | ðeɪ pɹɪntɪd vɛɹi fju bʊks ɪn ðɪs taɪp, θɹi oʊnli; bʌt ɪn ðɛɹ vɛɹi fɜ˞st bʊks ɪn ɹoʊm, bɪɡɪnɪŋ wɪð ðʌ jɪɹ , | slightly clear | quite roomy sounding | moderate intonation |
they discarded this for a more completely Roman and far less beautiful letter. | LJ001-0035.wav | 206.084473 | 57.583847 | 59.921158 | 56.960991 | slightly fast | ðeɪ dɪskɑɹdɪd ðɪs fɔɹ ʌ mɔɹ kʌmplitli ɹoʊmʌn ʌnd fɑɹ lɛs bjutʌfʌl lɛtɜ˞. | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
But about the same year Mentelin at Strasburg began to print in a type which is distinctly Roman; | LJ001-0036.wav | 229.225449 | 55.775673 | 54.986263 | 58.57597 | moderate speed | bʌt ʌbaʊt ðʌ seɪm jɪɹ æt stɹæsbɜ˞ɡ bɪɡæn tu pɹɪnt ɪn ʌ taɪp wɪtʃ ɪz dɪstɪŋktli ɹoʊmʌn; | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
and the next year Gunther Zeiner at Augsburg followed suit; | LJ001-0037.wav | 221.19072 | 50.185314 | 60.433929 | 43.086418 | moderate speed | ʌnd ðʌ nɛkst jɪɹ ɡʌnθɜ˞ zaɪnɜ˞ æt ɔɡzbɜ˞ɡ fɑloʊd sut; | slightly clear | slightly roomy sounding | slightly monotone |
while in 1470 at Paris Udalric Gering and his associates turned out the first books printed in France, also in Roman character. | LJ001-0038.wav | 231.435104 | 62.861748 | 58.943901 | 46.224411 | slightly slowly | waɪl ɪn æt pɛɹɪs ɡɪɹɪŋ ʌnd hɪz ʌsoʊsiʌts tɜ˞nd aʊt ðʌ fɜ˞st bʊks pɹɪntɪd ɪn fɹæns, ɔlsoʊ ɪn ɹoʊmʌn kɛɹɪktɜ˞. | slightly clear | moderate reverberation | moderate intonation |
The Roman type of all these printers is similar in character, | LJ001-0039.wav | 229.863556 | 75.842392 | 57.288998 | 59.206059 | slightly fast | ðʌ ɹoʊmʌn taɪp ʌv ɔl ðiz pɹɪntɜ˞z ɪz sɪmʌlɜ˞ ɪn kɛɹɪktɜ˞, | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive |
and is very simple and legible, and unaffectedly designed for use; but it is by no means without beauty. | LJ001-0040.wav | 223.092896 | 68.464119 | 57.844845 | 58.195488 | moderate speed | ʌnd ɪz vɛɹi sɪmpʌl ʌnd lɛdʒʌbʌl, ʌnd dɪzaɪnd fɔɹ jus; bʌt ɪt ɪz baɪ noʊ minz wɪθaʊt bjuti. | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
It must be said that it is in no way like the transition type of Subiaco, | LJ001-0041.wav | 236.305252 | 51.277706 | 52.659355 | 56.472576 | moderate speed | ɪt mʌst bi sɛd ðæt ɪt ɪz ɪn noʊ weɪ laɪk ðʌ tɹænzɪʃʌn taɪp ʌv , | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | slightly monotone |
and though more Roman than that, yet scarcely more like the complete Roman type of the earliest printers of Rome. | LJ001-0042.wav | 196.725876 | 49.022434 | 55.60009 | 47.7813 | slightly fast | ʌnd ðoʊ mɔɹ ɹoʊmʌn ðæn ðæt, jɛt skɛɹsli mɔɹ laɪk ðʌ kʌmplit ɹoʊmʌn taɪp ʌv ðʌ ɜ˞liʌst pɹɪntɜ˞z ʌv ɹoʊm. | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | slightly monotone |

John of Spires and his brother Vindelin, followed by Nicholas Jenson, began to print in that city, | LJ001-0044.wav | 218.940872 | 59.664265 | 60.530151 | 52.046761 | moderate speed | dʒɑn ʌv spaɪɹz ʌnd hɪz bɹʌðɜ˞ , fɑloʊd baɪ nɪkʌlʌs dʒɛnsʌn, bɪɡæn tu pɹɪnt ɪn ðæt sɪti, | slightly clear | quite confined sounding | moderate intonation |

their type is on the lines of the German and French rather than of the Roman printers. | LJ001-0046.wav | 220.938446 | 55.026642 | 55.097595 | 51.023521 | slightly fast | ðɛɹ taɪp ɪz ɑn ðʌ laɪnz ʌv ðʌ dʒɜ˞mʌn ʌnd fɹɛntʃ ɹæðɜ˞ ðæn ʌv ðʌ ɹoʊmʌn pɹɪntɜ˞z. | slightly clear | slightly confined sounding | moderate intonation |
Of Jenson it must be said that he carried the development of Roman type as far as it can go: | LJ001-0047.wav | 244.09465 | 64.818581 | 47.313316 | 56.908207 | slightly fast | ʌv dʒɛnsʌn ɪt mʌst bi sɛd ðæt hi kæɹid ðʌ dɪvɛlʌpmʌnt ʌv ɹoʊmʌn taɪp æz fɑɹ æz ɪt kæn ɡoʊ: | slightly noisy | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |

and the whole effect is a little too gray, owing to the thinness of the letters. | LJ001-0098.wav | 214.699585 | 68.645996 | 52.032166 | 59.268608 | slightly fast | ʌnd ðʌ hoʊl ɪfɛkt ɪz ʌ lɪtʌl tu ɡɹeɪ, oʊɪŋ tu ðʌ θɪnnɪs ʌv ðʌ lɛtɜ˞z. | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
It must be remembered, however, that most modern printing is done by machinery on soft paper, and not by the hand press, | LJ001-0099.wav | 214.73848 | 54.816006 | 60.569836 | 59.250347 | slightly fast | ɪt mʌst bi ɹɪmɛmbɜ˞d, haʊɛvɜ˞, ðæt moʊst mɑdɜ˞n pɹɪntɪŋ ɪz dʌn baɪ mʌʃinɜ˞i ɑn sɑft peɪpɜ˞, ʌnd nɑt baɪ ðʌ hænd pɹɛs, | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation |
and these somewhat wiry letters are suitable for the machine process, which would not do justice to letters of more generous design. | LJ001-0100.wav | 209.842987 | 69.942978 | 51.75893 | 51.414463 | moderate speed | ʌnd ðiz sʌmwʌt wɪɹi lɛtɜ˞z ɑɹ sutʌbʌl fɔɹ ðʌ mʌʃin pɹɑsɛs, wɪtʃ wʊd nɑt du dʒʌstʌs tu lɛtɜ˞z ʌv mɔɹ dʒɛnɜ˞ʌs dɪzaɪn. | moderate ambient sound | slightly confined sounding | slightly expressive |
