Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Printing in America, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Biography of Printers, and an Account of Newspapers; To Which Is Prefixed a Concise View of the Discovery and Progress of the Art in Other Parts of the World There is implanted in man by the allwise Creator, a principle which stimulates him to invention, and produces a desire to communicate his discoveries to his contemporaries and to posterity. With this natural disposition to invent, and then to reveal the products of his ingenuity, is connected an Insatiable curiosity to become acquainted with the origin and history of every discovery made by his fellow men. In no condition of man are the first principles of the arts and sciences unknown which circumstance demonstrates that the efforts of invention arise from natural propensities, perpetually stimulated by his desire to render his Works more perfect and useful. Rousseau says, Man is employed, from the first age of his being, in invention and contrivance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Printing: An Account of Its Invention and of William Caxton, the First English Printer There is a Striking similarity between these Chinese books and the block-books of Germany and Holland. The impressions are taken on one side of the paper only, and they are similarly bound, both the Chinese and the European books being so arranged by the binder as that the two printed pages shall lie face to face. In both countries it was customary to paste the blank sides of the leaves together, so as to make the printed matter continuous. The earliest European block-books also bear marks of having been produced by friction over the block, and nor by the application of heavy pressure. Altogether, Mr. Curzon says, the German and Oriental block-books are so precisely alike in almost every respect, that unless we can find one of the European books with any pretence to an anti quiry previous to the year 860, we must suppose that the process of printing them must have been copied from ancient Chinese specimens brought from that country by some early traveller whose name has not been handed down to our time.

Download or read book Printing and the Renaissance written by John Rothwell Slater and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Printing and the Renaissance: A Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club of Rochester, New York This chapter opens with the founding of the scriptorium, or monastic copying system, by Cassiodorus and Saint Benedict early in the sixth century. To these two men, Cassiodorus, the ex-chancellor of the Gothic king Theodoric, and Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine I order, is due the gratitude of the modern world. It was through their foresight in setting the monks at work copying the scriptures and the secular literature of antiquity that we owe the preservation of most of the books that have survived the ruins of the ancient world. At the monastery of Monte Cassino, founded by Saint I Benedict in the year 529, and at that of Viviers, founded by Cassiodorus in 531, the Benedictine rule required of every monk that a fixed portion of each day be spent in the scriptorium. There the more skilled scribes were entrusted with the copying of precious documents rescued from the chaos of the preceding century, while monks not yet sufficiently expert for this high duty were instructed by their superiors. The example thus nobly set was imitated throughout all the centuries that followed, not only in the Benedictine monasteries of Italy, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, but in religious houses of all orders. It is to the mediaeval Church, her conservatism in the true sense of the word, her industry, her patience, her disinterested guardianship alike of sacred and of pagan letters, that the world owes most of our knowledge of antiquity. Conceive how great would be our loss if to archaeology alone we could turn for the reconstruction of the civilization, the art, the philosophy, the public and private life of Greece and Rome.

Download or read book Printing Its Birth and Growth Classic Reprint written by William Jaggard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Printing: Its Birth and Growth To the general question, When was printing invented? The average man answers, In the fifteenth century, or thereabouts, for so inferior school-books and cyclopaedias teach, without reservation. The average individual is much too apathetic to question what he sees in cold print, or to search in more reliable quarters for the origin of the various arts and sciences. So, touching the art which gives him his education and religion, which affords oft-times his living, and (too rarely) his recreation, the individual is either supremely oblivious or heedless of its real source. He knows not (and cares less) that the magic art was employed in primitive form by the ancients; so long ago, indeed, that the fifteenth century is but as a kind of yesterday. For over nine centuries the Chinese have practised printing by means of engraved pear-tree blocks, and in most parts of that empire to-day the natives prefer their old-fashioned method to the European manner. It is thought that they invented in the twelfth or thirteenth century moveable types of clay or wood, as Corean books dated I3I7 still exist, printed by means of such instruments.

His own researches at the Record Office have enabled Mr. Plomer to enlarge considerably our know ledge of the printers at work during the second half of the seventeenth century, but when the State made up its mind to leave the printers alone, even this source of information lapses, and the pioneer has to gather What he may from the imprints in books which come under his hand, from notices of a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the History of Printing: To Which Is Added the History of Printing in Colours With the opening of the seventeenth century a period begins in which the art of printing continues the process of degeneration from its artistic beginnings, which was seen at the end of the previous century. It is a period of great happenings in political life, of re'volutions long drawn out in England and France, and these inevitably left their impress upon the craft. The pamphlet, very little used in the fifteenth century, and only making a sporadic appearance in the sixteenth century, mostly, of course, in connection with the Lutheran controversy, became one of the normal methods of publicity, and the newspaper - the genuine periodical, not the mere paper of news - made its appearance.
