| LEWIS (JOHN) Life of Mayster Wyllyam Caxton, of the Weald of Kent; The First Printer in England.

Second Edition, [ii],311pp., engraved frontispiece and title-page, cont. half calf, rubbed, marbled paper sides, hinges cracked, leather labels on spine. “Caxton’s reputation in the eighteenth century as England’s first printer, and the first printer in the English language, went from strength to strength. Middleton’s Dissertation of 1735 was very rapidly followed by a more extensive work, The Life of Mayster Wyllyam Caxton by the Rev. John Lewis (1675-1747) which appeared only two years later, in 1737. Unlike Middleton’s work Lewis’s book was a full-scale biographical study, and as there was at the time very little known about Caxton apart from what can be learned from his books, what Lewis presented was more in the nature of a bibliography. Lewis listed the Caxton editions that were known to him, and reconstructed from them an outline of Caxton's life” - Lotte Hellenge, Caxton in Focus, p.25.
