Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bibles in the Caxton Exhibition: Or a Biographical Description of Nearly One Thousand Representative Bibles in Various Languages Chronologically Arranged From the First Bible The Caxton Celebration Exhibition was opened at South Kensington on the thirtieth of June and closed on the first of September, 1877. During these nine short weeks the public had a rare opportunity afforded it of having some of its old popular notions respecting printing dissipated, others corrected, and not a few new ones inculcated. It is only fair, however, to the intelligent British public to state here frankly in their behalf that only a select few appear to have had any well defined ideas, convictions, notions, sentiments or intelligence, whatever, respecting the origin, development, progress, and present state of this 'Art preservative of all Arts, ' especially as it exists, and has existed in this country during the last four centuries. This circumstance is probably owing to the fact that in dear old merrie England reading and writing come by nature, while printing is no more considered an art or invention than breathing or drinking. We know it and that is enough. All these things are so familiar from in fancy that one scarcely ever thinks of accounting for them, or looking into their origin. As pleasure is said to be the absence of pain, darkness the absence of light, so printing may be simply the absence of primitive ignorance. The mind reads the newspapers and the Bible, feels, thinks, and knows intuitively. Like the eye the press sees not itself, yet is the organ by which all other things are seen, known, and organized. It was therefore a happy thought of Mr J. S. Hodson, Secretary of the Printers' Pension Corporation, to celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the introduction, in 1477, of the art and mystery of printing into England, by a "Caxton Celebration" in the year 1877, just for a moment to hold the mirror up to printing, to let the eye see the eye, and the press the press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we rely increasingly on digital resources, and libraries discard large parts of their older collections, what is our responsibility to preserve 'old books' for the future? David McKitterick's lively and wide-ranging study explores how old books have been represented and interpreted from the eighteenth century to the present day. Conservation of these texts has taken many forms, from early methods of counterfeiting, imitation and rebinding to modern practices of microfilming, digitisation and photography. Using a comprehensive range of examples, McKitterick reveals these practices and their effects to address wider questions surrounding the value of printed books, both in terms of their content and their status as historical objects. Creating a link between historical approaches and the emerging technologies of the future, this book furthers our understanding of old books and their significance in a world of emerging digital technology.
