Excerpt from A Brief History of Printing in America: Containing a Brief Sketch of the Development of the Newspaper and Some Notes on Publishers Who Have Especially Contributed to Printing No attempt has been made here to go into the story of the American invention of printing machinery and appliances. The most important portion of that story will be found in another volume of this series. The story of the introduction of printing and its spread through the Colonies before 1775 has been told with some detail. The development of the newspaper has been sketched. The reader is introduced to a few great printers who have made lasting contributions to American life, art, and industry. Some account is given of a few of the leading printer-publishers. Familiar names will be missed. Sometimes they are omitted because they are publishers only and not printers, more often because space lacked for the treatment of any but a few typical cases. The story of the government printing office is briefly told and there is a very short sketch of the organization of the industry among employers and employees. The writer ventures to hope that a study of this book may lead to a wider knowledge and deeper interest in that history of America of which the history of Ameri can printing is a part.
