In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

ity, overall readability: these are New Century Schoolbook's quiet but meaningful connotations. ELTs typeface is complemented by a new computer program for composition, WordPerfect 5.0. Fewer words appear on each line. The leading is ample. The justification of spaces between letters and words is finely proportioned, the hyphenation more accessible. We have less white space channeling through the black ink. These changes do not bring typographical nirvana-far from it. I hope, however, the eye is afforded a more comfortable read than what the Times Roman typeface provided in previous issues. Such a transition is not without tedious hours of work, nor could it be accomplished without the help of several people. I want to thank in particular Sheila Donohue, ELTs new Editorial Assistant. Her intimate understanding of WordPerfect as well as her counsel on typographical decisions are much appreciated. I also wish to thank Dr. Thomas Sheriff, Tracy Cooley, and Mike Kloepfer of UNCG's Academic Computer Center. Their good offices continue to be indispensable to the publication of the journal. • Announcements · Northeast Victorian Studies Association: "Evolution and Revolution: The Ringing Grooves of Change" is the topic for this conference held at Providence College, 28-30 April 1989.
