Some more time Must wear the _print_ of his remembrance out. _Cymbeline_, ii, 3. The _impressure_. _Twelfth Night_, ii, 5. He will _print_ them, out of doubt. _Merry Wives of Windsor_, ii, 1. We quarrel in _print_, by the book. _As You Like It_, v, 4. Let it _stamp_ wrinkles in her brow. _Lear_, i, 4. His sword death's _stamp_. _Coriolanus_, ii, 2. Hear how deftly Title-pages are treated: _Sim._ Knights, To say you're welcome were superfluous. To place upon the _volume_ of your deeds, As in a _title-page_, your worth of arms, Were more than you expect, or more than's fit. _Pericles_, ii, 3. Hear, too, Northumberland, who thus addresses the bearer of fearful news: This man's brow, like to a _title-leaf_, Foretells the nature of a tragic _volume_. _2 Henry IV_, i, 1. Evidently Shakspere had a good idea of what a Title-page should contain. From Title to Preface is but a turn of the leaf, and its introductory character is thus noticed: Is but a _Preface_ of her worthy praise, The chief perfections of that lovely dame. _1 Henry VI_, v, 5. We must not forget a well-known passage about the introduction of Printing to England, which has caused much discussion. It is where Jack Cade accuses Lord Saye: Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar-school: and whereas, before, our forefathers had no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used; and, contrary to the king, his crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper mill. _2 Henry VI_, iv, 7. The early-invented fable of Faustus, and the assistance given him by the Devil in the multiplication of the first printed bibles (certainly a most short-sighted step on the part of his Satanic Majesty) had got fixed in the minds of the populace, and created among the ignorant a prejudice against the Printing-press, and it was to this feeling Jack Cade appealed. All our Chroniclers place the erection of a Printing-press in England some years too early, but no one except Shakspere has put the date so far back as 1450, the date of Jack Cade's insurrection: it is simply a blunder; but it was the Printing-press and its introduction to this country that was in the Author's brain, and the _exact_ date of that event was unknown, being probably as difficult to arrive at then as it is now.[1]
