Excerpt from A Short History of English Printing: 1476-1898 Reed's admirable work, A History of the Old Englis/i Leiier Fonna'ries, written from a differ ent standpoint, to serve as a guide. His own researches at the Record Office have enabled Mr. Plomer to enlarge considerably our know ledge of the printers at work during the second half of the seventeenth century, but when the State made up its mind to leave the printers alone, even this source of information lapses, and the pioneer has to gather What he may from the imprints in books which come under his hand, from notices of a. Few individual printers, and stray anecdotes and memoranda. Through this almost pathless forest Mr. Plomer has threaded his way, and though the road he has made may be broken and imperfect, the fact that a road exists, which they can widen and mend, will be of incalculable advantage to all students of printing.

Annexed is an engraving of a Copy of an Indian gazette, taken many years since by a French officer from the American original, with an explanation of the same. It relates to an expedition of a body of Cana dian warriors, who, soon after the settlement of this part of America, took up the hatchet in favor of the French against a hostile tribe that adhered to the English. It was communicated to me many years ago, and, soon after, I had it engraved for the Royal American Magazine. It had previously appeared in several works published in Europe.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief History of Printing in America: Containing a Brief Sketch of the Development of the Newspaper and Some Notes on Publishers Who Have Especially Contributed to Printing No attempt has been made here to go into the story of the American invention of printing machinery and appliances. The most important portion of that story will be found in another volume of this series. The story of the introduction of printing and its spread through the Colonies before 1775 has been told with some detail. The development of the newspaper has been sketched. The reader is introduced to a few great printers who have made lasting contributions to American life, art, and industry. Some account is given of a few of the leading printer-publishers. Familiar names will be missed. Sometimes they are omitted because they are publishers only and not printers, more often because space lacked for the treatment of any but a few typical cases. The story of the government printing office is briefly told and there is a very short sketch of the organization of the industry among employers and employees. The writer ventures to hope that a study of this book may lead to a wider knowledge and deeper interest in that history of America of which the history of Ameri can printing is a part.

Excerpt from Gutenberg, and the Art of Printing But no one of the good and great of the past was permitted to lead the way in embodying thought on the printed page, save the wonderful man sketched in this volume. Out of a full heart of reverence, then, it is most fitting to embalm the memory of Gutenberg. While musing on certain old archives touching the history of printing, it was suggested by literary friends, that we weave a memorial narrative of the Chevalier and artisan honored in bringing the art to light. Accordingly we engaged in the work, hav ing culled the most authentic warp and woof within reach. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Outline of the History of Printing: To Which Is Added the History of Printing in Colours With the opening of the seventeenth century a period begins in which the art of printing continues the process of degeneration from its artistic beginnings, which was seen at the end of the previous century. It is a period of great happenings in political life, of re'volutions long drawn out in England and France, and these inevitably left their impress upon the craft. The pamphlet, very little used in the fifteenth century, and only making a sporadic appearance in the sixteenth century, mostly, of course, in connection with the Lutheran controversy, became one of the normal methods of publicity, and the newspaper - the genuine periodical, not the mere paper of news - made its appearance.
