Excerpt from A Specimen of Printing Types and Various Ornaments, 1796: Reproduced Together With the Sale Catalogue of the British Letter-Foundry, 1797 The Specimen reproduced here is the last that was issued by the British Foundry. It displays all the types cut for it, and there is an additional specimen of 'cast ornaments' and 'engravings on wood' offered for sale, which reflect the grow ing taste for this kind of stock illustration. The copy of the specimen from which this facsimile has been made includes the sale catalogue for the foundry, which was announced for 27 November 1797, and this has been reprinted in the present publication. The British letter-foundry was the creation of John Bell, an aggressively enterprising independent publisher who was one of the first to take advantage of the decision in the legal case of Donaldson v. Beckett in 1774, by which the concept of perpetual copyright was ended in Great Britain, and the work of many dramatists and poets effectively entered the public domain. Bell's edition of the Poets of Great Britain complete from Chaucer to Churchill in 109 volumes and his British Theatre in 21 volumes both began to appear in 1776. The established London booksellers responded to this inva sion, as they saw it, of their literary property, with their own edition of The Works of the English Poets, to which Samuel Johnson was invited to write the biographical matter, and a committee was set up to commission engravings and to give directions about the paper and printing.

This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the eighteenth-century trade in street literature – ballads, chapbooks, and popular prints – in England and Scotland. Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into ballads, slip songs, story books, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high literature. The breadth and depth of the contributions give a much fuller and more nuanced picture of what was being widely published and read during this period than has previously been available. It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century popular culture and literature, print history and the book trade, ballad and folk studies, children’s literature, and social history.
