Pre-Victorian British Typography and Printers' Manuals

by Talbot Baines Reed and William Roberts

Near-contemporaries William Caslon, the type-founder and John Baskerville, the printer, stand as two of the great figures in 18th-century British printing. This set of eight volumes includes an early memoir of Baskerville, and an account of Caslon and his firm, and both figures appear in Reed's work.
