Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Chinese and Japanese Illustrated Books Exhibited in the King's Library We have no record as to the date when metal type was first used in China, but we find Korean books printed as early as 1317, with movable clay or wooden type, and just a century later, we have a record of a fount of metal type having been cast to print an Epitome of the Eighteen Historical Records of China. As both processes came to Korea from China it is only reasonable to suppose that metal type was used in China a century or more before its adoption in Korea. Considerable doubt exists as to the time when movable type was first introduced into Japan but it is at least certain that after the first invasmn of Korea by the armies of Hideyoshi, in the end of the l6th century, a large quantity of Korean movable type books were brought back by one of his generals.
