John Johnson (1777 1848) worked for a private press at Lee Priory,
Kent, which published limited editions of poetry, prose and
pamphlets, but was not financially successful. Moving to London in
1824, Johnson produced this two-volume work on printing, which had
become a popular topic in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. The work was published in several formats, and
contemporary reviewers noted Johnson's highly ornate typography and
use of engravings more than the contents. Volume 1 deals with the
history of printing, listing printers working in England up to the
end of the sixteenth century, and Volume 2 describes contemporary
practice and new developments in the industry such as the use of
steam presses and the stereotype process.
