Annals of Scottish Printing : From the Introduction of the Art 1507 in to the Beginning of the Seventeenth Century (Classic Reprint) (9781331871156)

Excerpt from Annals of Scottish Printing: From the Introduction of the Art 1507 in to the Beginning of the Seventeenth Century My work on the first twenty chapters has been mainly editorial. I have used every effort to ensure accuracy by checking the collations, and, where defective, rewriting the descriptions of the books. This particularly applies to such books as Dr. Dickson had no opportunity of examining. Where more recent information had been obtained the sentence, paragraph, or chapter affected thereby was recast or rewritten, but in no case has this been done without good cause and the consent of Dr. Dickson. For the second part of the work, extending from Chapter XXI. To Chapter XXXVIII I am wholly responsible. Dr. Dickson's notes necessarily formed a useful basis of operation, but the descriptions are entirely new, and in nearly every case taken directly from the books themselves. Where this could not be effected, the descriptions appear as mere quotations from previous writers on the subject, and as such are duly acknowledged. I feel deeply conscious of many defects in the present work, and that it should be free from typographical errors is scarcely to be expected, but I must leave these to the kind indulgence of my readers. The work has been conducted amid many interruptions and distractions, and the printing has been spread over a long time, delays occurring which made progress impossible.
