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.

"This complete, definitive, and illustrated survey of small nineteenth-century printing presses, written by a former curator at the Smithsonian Institution, is the first history of these lovely, useful, and varied machines. For there were, in those days, small printing presses created for every purpose. And there were, as well, innumerable boys and countless men eager to make their fortunes by investing in one, buying a few fonts of type, printing for a local clientele, and, with luck, building a printing or publishing empire." "What the desktop computer is to today, these small iron workhorses were to the nineteenth century. This book catalogues, describes, and illustrates over a hundred, with their makers, giving machine specifications as well as patent information. It provides a mine of previously undocumented printing information. No one seriously interested in the history of printing technology can afford to be without it."--BOOK JACKET.
