PRELIMINARY NOTE

     The persons filing this Amendment No. 2 are (i) Tweedy, Browne Company LLC
("TBC"), a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) TBK Partners, L.P. ("TBK"),
a Delaware limited partnership and (iii) Vanderbilt Partners, L.P.
("Vanderbilt"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 2 amends a
Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt dated January 28,
1998 (the "Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 2 should not be deemed
an admission that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Act").

     This Amendment No. 2 relates to the Common Stock, $1 par value (the "Common
Stock"), of John H. Harland Company (the "Company"), which, to the best
knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 2 is a company organized
under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices at 2939 Miller
Road, Decatur, GA 30035.

     This Amendment No. 2 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock
that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the
accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained sole
or shared voting power.

     Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
response to Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly,
those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 2.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) As a result of the disposition of 46,300 shares of Common Stock
transferred out of a TBC Account pursuant to client's instructions, as of the
date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of
1,894,973 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 6.09% of the
31,113,000 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts.

     As of the date hereof, TBK beneficially owns directly 71,000 shares of
Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.23% of the 31,113,000 shares of
Common Stock which TBK believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding.

     As of the date hereof, Vanderbilt beneficially owns directly 22,375 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.07% of the 31,113,000 shares
of Common Stock which Vanderbilt believes to be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding.

     Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner
of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt
could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 1,988,348
shares, which constitutes approximately 6.39% of the 31,113,000 shares of Common
Stock, which the filing persons believe to be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an
admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares.

     The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect
to which each of the General Partners and Members may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK and Vanderbilt,
or a member of TBC, is 1,988,348 shares, which constitutes approximately 6.39%
of the 31,113,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of
shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P. Knapp may
be deemed to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of
TBK is 71,000 shares of Common Stock which constitutes approximately 0.23% of
the 31,113,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as an admission that any of the General Partners or
Thomas P. Knapp is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock, except as
set forth herein as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a
particular General Partner or Thomas P. Knapp.

     Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of Common
Stock held by the other. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of

beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

     (b)  TBC has investment discretion with respect to 1,894,973 shares of

sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 1,819,567 shares of Common Stock
held in certain TBC Accounts.

     Each of the Members of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as such,
may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and
(ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 1,819,567 shares of Common Stock
held in certain TBC Accounts.

     TBK has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose or

deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares.

or direct the disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares. Each of the General Partners
of Vanderbilt, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to

disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares.

     (c)  No transactions in Common Stock were effected by TBK and Vanderbilt
