cloth, dust jacket. 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xviii, 76 pages. An Assessment of Dr. William Church. First edition. This book is about an original invention and an American mechanical genius, who is almost completely unknown on the American side of the Atlantic Ocean. This work brings this inventor out of obscurity and gives him long overdue credit for his important inventions. Among Church's creations were the first typesetting machine in history, a new style of typecasting machine, and a new form of printing press. The influence of these inventions on printing practices is emphasized, and their techniques are described in a clear, comprehensible manner. Church also invented many other devices and methods of manufacture, ranging from buttons to locomotives. With an introduction by Marcus McCorison from the American Antiquarian Society. Illustrated with patent drawings and fifty-two of his inventions and includes an index and extensive bibliography. Typeset and printed by The Stinehour Press at Lunenburg, Vermont. Spine of jacket slightly faded.

A native of Vermont, Dr. Church was responsible for several typographical inventions, including the first typesetting machine in 1822. Its impact was so startling to hand compositors that the invention was called an impossibility, a chimera, a hoax. This illustrated study addresses Church's inventions, their reception within the trade, and their influence on printing practice. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue cloth. From the dust jacket: "Every new mechanical device or method must have a beginning and an inventor. This book is about an original invention and an American mechanical genius who is almost completely unknown on the American side of the Atlantic Ocean. The purpose of the book is to bring this inventor out of obscurity and to give him long overdue credit for his important inventions Interwoven in this story is an account of his typographical inventions -- the first typesetting machine in history, a new style of typecasting machine, and a new form of printing press. The influence of these inventions on printing practices is emphasized, and their technics are described in a clear, understandable manner. Church was also the inventor of many other devices and methods of manufacture, ranging from buttons to locomotives. There is a Foreword by Marcus McCorison, of the American Antiquarian Society. The book is illustrated, and contains Appendixes of patent drawings and 52 of his inventions. There is also an Index, and an extensive bibliography.". Signed by the Author (his signature only).

cloth. tall 8vo. cloth. xii, 66 pages. Limited to 400 copies. Minor dampstain to preliminary pages not affecting the text, else a near fine copy. This work discusses the development and use of the letterpress printer's composition matrix, showing its early and various forms in a way never described before. It describes details not revealed by the early makers of matrix-composing machines or by the historical texts which revealed the development of composing machines during the years 1885 to 1915. Printing aficionados are familiar with matrix-composing machines - usually referred to as "hot-metal typesetters" - but there is little information on their predecessors or the history of problems that beset early prototypes. This book reveals some of those problems and describes the matrices and their manipulations in early successful matrix-composers. This book also includes, for historical reasons, a number of proposed but never commercially produced machines. During the late nineteenth century, a surprisingly large number of attempts were made to create both patrix-using machines and matrix-using machines in which the "cold" and "hot" concepts were considered as substitutes for the time-honored method of setting types by hand. All the padres (cold) ideas were aborted or failed, while the matrix (hot) machines had some early successes and proved to be headed in the right direction for machine composition. Although the matrix methods were extremely diversified in construction and operation, they all followed one fundamental principle, that of assembling or moving matrices and casting either single-types or sluglines. Well-illustrated throughout, this book is indispensable for anybody interested in the history of printing. It has been set by Linotype and printed by letterpress. A chronological list of 166 patented inventions, most of which are American in origin are included.
