IN TWO PARTS.

BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

Fcap. 8vo

"In the First Part of the present work I have remodelled my biography of Caxton, first published in 1844; rendering it a more compact narrative of the state of knowledge before the invention of printing, of the personal history of the man who brought the invention to England, and of the nature of his efforts to diffuse information amongst his countrymen. The Second Part embraces a very broad view of the progress of the press to our own day, especially in relation to the important subject of Cheap Popular Literature.”—Preface.
