JOHNSON (J.) Typographia, or the Printer's Instructor; Including
an Account of the Origin of Printing, with Biographical Notices of
the Printers of England, from Caxton to the Close of this Sixteenth
Century: A Series of Ancient and Modern Alphabets, and Domesday
Characters; together with An Elucidation of every Subject connected
with the Art. By J. Johnson, Printer. 2 vols., 16mo, pp. (14), xii,
610, (10); (4), iv, 588. Typographia, pp. 56; Text resumed, pp.
645-663, (16). _London: Longman, Hurst_.... 1829.
This valuable work is too often regarded merely as a book for
printers, whereas it contains more information respecting early
printed books than is to be found in any other and more costly
volumes. Its real compiler was Mr. Richard Thomson, Librarian
of the London Institution, who was assisted by Dibdin, Wilkins,
Baber, and other well known bibliographers. It was issued in three
different sizes, the largest being known as the Roxburghe Edition
with Portraits on India paper.
