Guttate

[Lat. gutta, a drop.] ( Bot. ) Sprinkled with colored dots or small spots. Gut'tenberg, or Gu'tenberg, JOHN, B. at Sulgeloch, near Mentz, in Germany, 1400. He is supposed to have made his first experiments in the art of printing with movable types between 1434 and 1439, but it was in 1443 that he turned his invention to account, and brought upon himself the persecution of the priests and writers. There are some points not cleared up in the history of this invention, but it is now generally agreed that the honor belongs to John Guttenberg. Centurial jubilees are held in his honor in many places of Germany, and many statues have been erected to his memory. D. 1468. Gut'tenburg, in low a , a post-town of Clayton co., on the Mi i ippi river, about 40 miles above Du- buque. There are rich lead mines in the vicinity. Pop . (1895) 1,424.
