| DIBDIN (THOMAS FROGNALL) Typographical Antiquities; or the History of Printing in England, Scotland and Ireland: Containing Memoirs of Our Ancient Printers, and a Register of the Books Printed by Them.

The original edition, for the time in which it appeared, is a very complete undertaking. Herbert was no less industrious than the original compiler, and from the many more sources of information opened to him than were available to Ames, he extended the work to three volumes. Nor did his industry stop there, as is evidenced by his copy of the book, now in the library of the British Museum, interleaved, and bound in six volumes, with a very large number of additions in manuscript. This copy was formerly in the possession of Dr. T.F. Dibdin, and was used by him in his enlarged edition of Ames - a work the magnificent promise of which he never fulfilled. The four volumes of Dibdin’s edition describe only the printers of London, so that both Herbert’s and Dibdin’s editions are necessary to the student”. — Bigmore & Wyman.
