This work, first published in 1774, consists of a reissue of the
Dissertation on the Origin of Printing in England by Conyers
Middleton (1683 1750), first published in 1735, together with an
abridgement of an account of the origin of printing by the Dutch
lawyer Gerard Meerman (1722 71). It was compiled by the scholar and
publisher William Bowyer (1699 1777) and his apprentice and later
business partner John Nichols (1745 1826), several of whose works
are also published in this series. Both essays debate the origins
of printing, disputing the traditional account that Gutenberg
introduced it to Europe and Caxton to England. Appendices describe
the progress of printing in Greek and Hebrew, and the first printed
polyglot Bibles. The names and achievements of Gutenberg's
contemporaries in Germany and the Low Countries are given their due
in this interesting overview of the earliest period of printing in
the West."

growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
