This four-volume work on the early history of printing, published between 1810 and 1819, was enlarged by Thomas Frognall Dibdin from the previous works of Joseph Ames and William Herbert. The lives of Ames and Herbert are followed by discussions of printers from Caxton to Thomas Hacket in the late 1500s.
