Clegg, Cyndia Susan (editor) THE PEACEABLE AND PROSPEROUS REGIMENT OF BLESSED QUEENE ELISABETH: A FACSIMILE FROM HOLINSHED'S CHRONICLES (1587).
with an introduction by Cyndia Susan Clegg
Textual commentary by Randall McLeod San Marino, California Huntington Library 2005 12.25 x 16.25 inches hardcover 580 pages
Holinshed's Chronicles contains one of the few accounts of Elizabeth's reign written during her lifetime. A contemporary history, it was subjected to censorship by the Privy Council. This facsimile edition, a compilation based on this portion of the Chronicles in copies in the Huntington's collection as well as the British Library and Cambridge University Library, documents the censorship and demonstrates that it occurred in three stages.

The Chronicles, a scrupulously produced monument to Elizabeth, is also a rich source for the study of printing practices. The base text chosen by the editors, an unusual copy in the Huntington Library, contains the largest sample of proofmarkings that survive from the sixteenth century. The proofmarkings are examined in light of contemporary printing-house practices and in relation to other copies of the work in libraries around the world. Distributed for the Huntington Library.

Cyndia Susan Clegg is a Distinguished Professor of English at Pepperdine University. She specializes in early modern print culture, censorship, Shakespeare, and English Renaissance Poetry. Her works include Press Censorship in Elizabethan England (Cambridge University Press, 1997), Press Censorship in Jacobean England (Cambridge University Press, 2001), and Press Censorship in Caroline England (Cambridge University Press, 2008).

Randall McLeod is a Professor of English at the University of Toronto and is the editor of Crisis in Editing: Texts of the English Renaissance , and he has published on the subjects of typography and printing.

Clouse, Doug MACKELLAR, SMITHS & JORDAN: TYPOGRAPHIC TASTEMAKERS OF THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover, dust jacket. 176 pages
First edition. This is the first full-length study of the leading American type foundry of the nineteenth century. It is an interesting history of the foundry from both a business and a design point of view. The emphasis is on the design of the hundreds of typefaces that were produced by the foundry, from its inception in the 1860s until its merger with most other American foundries at the end of the century. The author describes (with many detailed photographic illustrations) how changing business conditions and technical improvements in typefounding interacted with changes in public taste to modify, over the decades, the appearance of the typefaces that Americans found in their publications. While this is a study of only one of many American foundries, in many ways MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan can stand as an exemplar of all the rest. It was the descendant of the first successful American type foundry, Binny and Ronaldson, started in Philadelphia in 1796. Extensive business records of the firm exist, as do scores of type specimen books and promotional publications of the foundry. All of these have been used extensively by the author. The scores of typefaces illustrated and described are considered as the ever-changing output of a corporation, with lesser emphasis on the individual creators of each typeface. At the turn of the twentieth century, taste turned away from the florid, ornamented style of the earlier decades. Mr. Clouse has shown in this well-written study that the earlier styles were very successful in their own time and should be judged on that basis. A completely illustrated appendix showing MS&J's patented typefaces is extremely helpful.

Coakley, J.F. THE TYPOGRAPHY OF SYRIAC: A HISTORICAL CATALOGUE OF PRINTING TYPES, 1537-1958.
New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2006 7 x 10 inches hardcover 272 pages
Syriac, a dialect of the ancient Aramaic language, has a remarkable Christian literature spanning a thousand years from the fourth to the thirteenth century, including important versions of the Bible. It remains the liturgical language of several churches in the Middle East, India, and the west, and 'Modern Syriac' is a vernacular still in use today. It is no wonder that this language has a long and rich printing history. The challenge of conveying the beautiful cursive Syriac script, in one or another of its three varieties, was taken up by many well-known type-designers in the letterpress era, from Robert Granjon in the sixteenth century to the Monotype and Linotype corporations in the twentieth, as well as by many lesser-known ones. This study records and abundantly illustrates no fewer than 129 different Syriac types, using archival documents, type-specimens, and the often scattered evidence of the print itself. The Typography of Syriac will be of interest not only to scholars of Middle Eastern languages and scripts but also to all historians of type and printing.
J. F. Coakley is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and on the staff of Houghton Library, at Harvard University. His private press, the Jericho Press, occasionally makes use of Syriac and other exotic types.

(Cobbett, William) Gaines, Pierce W. WILLIAM COBBETT AND THE UNITED STATES, 1792-1835. A BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH NOTES AND EXTRACTS.
Worcester American Antiquarian Society 1971 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xxi, 249 pages
First edition. In the early 1790s, William Cobbett, an ex-plowboy and soldier, arrived in Philadelphia and set off a journalistic explosion. In an age of slashing and scurrilous pamphleteering, Cobbett, better known under the pseudonym of Peter Porcupine, proved to be the most hard-hitting, fearless, prolific and irrepressible bully-boy with pen and types that America had ever seen or possibly ever was to see. Pierce Gaines provides an in-depth guide to Cobbett's literary and publishing activities, covering all his writings published in America, all the items he issued as a publisher, and all those that he wrote or published elsewhere but that relate to America. Extracts are furnished from the original publications to convey their character and flavor. Though this is primarily an author bibliography, it also provides a racy account of journalism.

Cohen, Ben THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY 1600-1999: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover 276 pages
First edition. This work is a new bibliography on the Delaware River and Bay by Ben Cohen, the author of similar bibliographies on the Thames and the Clyde. The author first became interested in the Delaware River when he read D.B. Tyler's The Bay and River Delaware, which refers to the Delaware as the "American Clyde." Tyler writes poetically of the Delaware: "Its upper reaches have the beauty and vigor of youth. When, at Trenton, it turns adventurously westward, growing bigger and straighter, it has the solidity and single-mindedness of maturity. At the end, when it swings southward to lose itself in the greater ocean, it takes on the grandeur and dignity of age conscious of its past." This comparison to the Clyde in Scotland, where Cohen was born, ignited the bibliographer's interest in the Delaware. The Delaware River and Bay bibliography includes chapters on photographs, bridges, maps, fish, ports and commerce of the Delaware, containing hundreds of annotated entries, and concludes with four useful appendices, including one on Delaware River shipwrecks. As with his other books, original title spellings have been retained for historical purposes. Author Ben Cohen, F.R.C.S., is a graduate of Glasgow University and bibliographer of The Thames, 1580-1980: A General Bibliography, first published in 1985, and The River and Firth of Clyde, 1549-1993: A Selective Bibliography, first published in 1995.

Part 1, American Prints; Part 2, Bontanical Books New York The Grolier Club 2011 8 x 11 inches paperback Part 1: 68 pages, Part 2: 60 pages
The catalogue documents a unique husband-wife collecting team: Hersh and Fern Cohen. Hersh collects prints created between 1900 and World War II, with an emphasis on the Depression era, while Fern Cohen focuses on English, Continental, and American botanical books from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, with illustrations by some of the most accomplished botanical artists of the day. The stark black-and-white prints of cities, their inhabitants, and the turmoil of the 1930s contrast vividly with gorgeously colored images of flowers and fruit in peaceful bucolic settings: an unlikely yet compelling combination. Designed by Jerry Kelly, the book contains forewords by the collectors, followed by catalogues of the joint member exhibition of the collections of Hersh and Fern Cohen held at the Grolier Club September 7-November 4, 2011.

(Colines, Simon De) Schreiber, Fred SIMON DE COLINES, AN ANNOTATED CATALOGUE OF 230 EXAMPLES OF HIS PRESS 1520-1546.
Provo Friends of the Brigham Young University Library 1995 small 4to. cloth, paper spine label. lxxxiv, 242, (4) pages.
First edition, limited to 750 copies. The first true Renaissance printer, Colines worked with the finest French book decorators and type designers to transform the French book. By using the format pioneered by Aldus Manutius, his press (1520-1546) published reasonably priced "pocket" classics, making them affordable by students and popularizing italic and cursive types in France. De Colines holds the distinction of having prepared the first critical text of the Greek New Testament, and the first printed in France. He produced the earliest accented Greek type in France, fifteen years prior to the Grecs du Roi. In 1528, de Colines introduced an elegant cursive, derived from Arrighi, followed by a smaller italic based on the Aldine. The 230 books described in this work, one-third of de Colines's actual production, illustrate de Colines's types, ornamental initials, printer devices and title borders. A catalogue of the books published and facsimiles of two of Colines's publisher catalogues are also included. Designed by W. Thomas Taylor. Illustrated.

Mansfield Centre, MA Martino Publishing 2006 8vo. cloth. xlix, 356 pages.
Reprint of the 1895 first edition published in Brussels. French Congo was the original French colony established in the present-day area of the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and the Central African Republic. It began in 1880 as a protectorate, and treaties over the next decade established its borders with Cabinda, Cameroons, and the Congo Free State. In order to develop the colony, the government granted massive concessions to some thirty French companies. The companies were granted huge swaths of land on the promise they would be developed. This development was limited and amounted mostly to the extraction of ivory, rubber, and timber. These operations often involved great brutality and the near enslavement of the locals. Even with these measures, most of the companies lost money. Only about ten earned profits. Many of the companies' vast holdings existed only on paper, with virtually no presence on the ground in Africa. French Congo was temporarily divided between Gabon and Middle Congo in 1906 before being reunited as French Equatorial Africa in 1910 in an attempt to copy the relative success of French West Africa. Wauter's is the most comprehensive bibliography on the Congo, with some 3800 references.
