FOREWORD
THE present Exhibition has been formed by the Inter-
national Association of Antiquarian Booksellers
with the object of illustrating the progress of the Art of Typo-
graphy in this country from its inception to the year 1800.
Various foreign presses are naturally inseparable from the early
English Book Trade, and for divers reasons have been included in
the present Exhibition. Our prototypographer Caxton and several
of his successors learned their trade abroad, and, indeed, many of
the foremost printers and publishers settled in this country in the
fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries were of foreign extraction.
In many cases, as a matter of necessity, books in English (usually
those prohibited for reasons connected with religious controversy)
or service books intended for the English market, were printed by
foreigners who had never set foot in these isles, and apart from
their interest as regards our language, have been included to show
their typographical influence on English printing.
. The books are arranged under the names of their printers, as
^ / nearly as possible chronologically, taking the dates of the earliest
production of each press as a guide. These dates are given,
together with the year of the termination of the press, at the head
of each section dealing with a particular printer or publisher. Each
item is arranged according to its date, actual or supposed, its descrip-
tion being preceded by the name of the author (in some cases, by
'^ that of the translator, if better known) ; then the title and imprint,
\ usually transcribed from the first page of the book ; then the size,
^- and date. The words of the colophon next follow, with occasionally
N^ brief remarks on the contents, woodcuts or bindings. In the case
430551
VI
of undated books, the approximate year, ascertained from other
sources, is placed within square brackets, sometimes including the
word " circa."
Each individual exhibitor is responsible for his own descriptions
and for any statement contained therein.
Transcriptions of titles, colophons, etc., are as literal as possible
consistent with brevity, but when the descriptive slips, as in this
case, are by different hands, and when there is not ready access to
the original books for confirmation of minor points, it is hardly in
the power of an editor to ensure absolute uniformity in the plan of
descriptions, but it may be noted that no pains have been spared
to reduce discrepancies in the Catalogue to a minimum as far as
possible. It is hoped, therefore, that the following pages, as a
record of a collection of representative printing in this country, may
have somewhat more than ephemeral value.
The best thanks of the Association are due to the Right
Honourable the Earl OF CRAWFORD, K.T., for the loan of a
series of Broadsides and Proclamations ; to the GOVERNORS
OF St. Bride Foundation for many exhibits ; and to the
Worshipful Company of Stationers for the use of their
Ancient Hall, than which no place could be more appropriate for a
retrospect of the Book Trade of this country, seeing that the forma-
tion of the Company itself preceded by about fifty years the
Invention of Gutenberg, and thus has a history extending over more
than five centuries.
The following items, lent by Alfred Henrv LITTLETON, Esq.,
unfortunately ivere received too late for inclusion in the printed
catalogue : —

This is the Second Prayer book of Edward VI., mainly agreeing with
the description of No. 3 in Lowndes (p. 1939) except that he does not
mention the 2 rare leaves of " The Acte for the Uniformitie of Common
Prayer," &c., in connection with this issue, but which are contained in
the above copy. Neither does he specify the scarce leaf between O I
& 2 containing the Rubric as to Kneeling at Communion. This copy
seems to be of the earliest issue of 1552, by the misprints not being
corrected and by its having the last leaf with woodcut only, before the
leaf of Errata was substituted for it. In the present copy, however, the
Errata leaf has been added by an early owner and inserted between the
last and penultimate leaves. This leaf of " Faultes escaped " contains
also the curious notice of " The prices of this booke."
