TTIEO. L. DE VINNE,
OF NEW YORK,
WHO HAS MADE EVERY PRINTER
A DEBTOR
TO HIS ERUDITION AND PRACTICAL KNOWLFDGEF
OF THE ART








tnrefaCe.
BELIEVING there was a necessity for the compilation
of such a list as the following, and no other person
having set himself to the task, it was begun in the early
part of the year 1874.  The principal end in view has
been to show to the Profession of which the author is
proud to be a member, the resources there are in our
own language towards a more general knowledge of the
history and practice of the Art of Printing.  None can
be more surprised than was the writer at the number of
works on the subject which have thus far appearedranging from the rare or magnificent volume that can
only be obtained by the man of wealth or public library,
down to the manual which may, and should, be in the
hands of every member of the craft in our country, and
in date from the middle of the seventeenth century to
the present year.
In pursuance of my plan, it has not been thought
necessary to follow up the different editions of any book,
-but by simply giving the title, name of author, where
printed, size of volume, and where possible the date of
A




vi                      9efac.
the first edition, sufficient is done to stimulate any who
are inclined to make a collection of books on Typography.   To  many  persons  the  greater the  difficulty  of
accomplishment the  more  ardent is their pursuit.   To
secure all of the works enumerated is almost impossible
by one person, yet perhaps not beyond success. The first
edition  of Moxon's "Mechanick  Exercises"  is so  rare,
that it has recently been stated that a copy of it is not
to be found on the shelves of the British Museum; and
some of Dibdin's and Sotheby's volumes are held at
prices far above the average reach of the followers of
Gutenberg and Caxton.
While there are many private libraries in the country
containing a large number of the most valuable books on
Printing, there is but one public institution that has shown
a determination to make a specialty of such publications;
and  as many  of these  works are becoming scarce and
more  valuable  by  the  lapse  of time, all interested  in
their preservation should see to it that none be destroyed
through  carelessness  or want of appreciation  of their
worth to future historians of the Printing art.
While it is not claimed that this list cannot be added
to, or that it is correct in every particular, it is the
result of much research and painstaking; and the author
will be glad to know that further discoveries have been
made in  the same direction.   My design has necessarily
restricted me to works relating to printing from raised




srefart.                       vii
surfaces.  A  few  of the names  inserted are  not strictly
technical works, but so closely allied to the needs of
portions of the Profession, that it was believed no valid
objection  could  be  raised  to  their  retention,-such  as
Allibone's  " Dictionary,"  Collier's  " Account  of Rarest
Books," Disraeli's  "Curiosities," and some others.   No
attempt has been made to catalogue the numerous reports
of societies, nor of works on copyright, libel, &c.; and
although some names may be found not properly entitled
to recognition in this connection, the thought is indulged
that no purely Typographical book has been overlooked.
I am under obligations to gentlemen in different parts
of the country, and to Mr. William Blades, of London,
for assistance and encouragement in my task; and take
this opportunity of acknowledging many favors at the
hands of William Bakewell, Esq., of Pittsburgh.
If the publication of this list (which appeared first in
the pages of THE QUADRAT, but has since been considerably
augmented) will cause more earnest effort in the collection
and study of the literature of Printing than hitherto, by
the members of the craft, the time and labor expended
in its compilation will not be without their reward.
