Published in 1981: Authors of early English and American printers's
manuals casually appropriated text from their predecessors. The
practice, common enough not to require explanation or
acknowledgement ( much less apology), was documented by Lawrence C.
Wroth in 1935. Citing borrowed passages and devising a literary
family tree, Wroth measured the original work of typographical
writers from Moxon to De Vinne, with much more praise for them but
with less for those in between. The author who, whose Typographia
is reprinted here, was found to be the worst and boldest of
offenders.
