Excerpt from Rariora, Vol. 2: Being Notes of Some of the Printed Books, Manuscripts, Historical Documents, Medals, Engravings, Pottery, Etc., Etc., Collected (1858-1900)
The foregoing slight and superficial notice of some of the characteristics of the works of the earliest printers will perhaps suffice as an introduction to the description of Incunabula in the Collection, but it is my desire more fully to interest my readers' sympathies with the pioneers of the typographic art by a short excursus devoted to that inexhaustible topic, the mystery of the origin of the invention, and of the name and country of the inventor. This digression is comprised in four chapters, entitled respectively, T he Dawn of T ypograp/zy (documents) T lze Invention Wooa'en T ypes T lze Evolution of the T ype-moula'. Although in the short Space devoted to these important subjects extreme compression has been in some cases inevitable, it will be found that in others new ground has been broken, and investigations initiatedon points which seem to deserve fuller scrutiny than they have hitherto received.
