Broadside
Printed matter spread over an entire sheet of paper. The whole
must be in one type and one measure, i.e. must not be divided
into columns. A folio is when the sheet is folded, in which case a page
occupies only half the sheet.
“Pamphlets and broadsides were scattered right and left.” —Fiske:
American History, chap. vii. p. 341.
In naval language, a broadside means the whole side of a
ship; and to “open a broadside on the enemy” is to discharge all the
guns on one side at the same moment.
