Summary

"[The work] is encyclopedic in its examination of printing techniques from the late-seventeenth century through the nineteenth century. Using selected readings from printers' manuals--beginning with Joseph Moxon's Mechanick exercises on the whole art of printing, 1683, and culminating with John Southward's Practical printing, 1900--Gabriel Rummonds has distilled over two hundred years of printers' wisdom into this very readable and important work on iron handpresses and how they were used in the nineteenth century"--Publisher's Web site, viewed Feb. 2, 2015: http://www.oakknoll.com/pages/books/76433/richard-gabriel-rummonds/nineteenth-century-printing-practices-and-the-iron-handpress
