Red Cap Tales Stolen from the Treasure Chest of the Wizard of the North Caxton printed it about 1489, but of this thick quarto impression one imperfect copy only has survived. The Book-Hunter at Home "Aunt Caxton—I do not know—I have seen—I do not know how to answer you!" The Old Helmet, Volume I When the printed sheets reached Westminster, Caxton, wishing to make it quite plain that he was the publisher, engraved his design and printed it on the last page, which happened to be blank. Printers' Marks A Chapter in the History of Typography When she came down to the sitting-room Mrs. Caxton had stepped out on some business; and in her place, sitting alone with a book, Eleanor was greatly surprised to see Mr. Rhys. The Old Helmet, Volume II The "Bay Psalm Book," Cambridge, Mass., A. D. 1640, is the Caxton of New England, so rare that no perfect copy has been found for many years. A Book for All Readers An Aid to the Collection, Use, and Preservation of Books and the Formation of Public and Private Libraries In 1494 Pynson thought well enough to reprint Caxton's 'Book of Good Manners'; but of this once popular book one copy only—that which was formerly in the Amherst Library—now survives. The Book-Hunter at Home All this applied to the decision of her own affairs; and perhaps Mrs. Caxton had intended it should. The Old Helmet, Volume I The former enumerates twelve books printed by Caxton in which his device occurs—all ranging from the aforesaid Missal to the year 1491, the date of his death. Printers' Marks A Chapter in the History of Typography "I was not aware," said Mr. Rhys looking up from his book, "I was not aware till last night that you lived with Mrs. Caxton." The Old Helmet, Volume II He became an authority upon rare books and early editions, and made a valuable catalogue of the Bibles in the Caxton exhibition at London, in 1877, with bibliographical commentary. A Book for All Readers An Aid to the Collection, Use, and Preservation of Books and the Formation of Public and Private Libraries It formed originally one of the twenty-two Caxtons which were dispersed in 1698 with the library of Dr. Francis Bernard, Physician to King James the Second, when it realised two and tenpence! The Book-Hunter at Home Mrs. Caxton stooped forward, took Eleanor's hands down from her face and kissed her. The Old Helmet, Volume I In addition to this, England's second printer, Wynkyn de Worde, abandoning the Westminster house of his master, William Caxton, took up his residence in Fleet Street in or about the year 1500. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting He sat with his finger between the leaves of his book, and Eleanor again wondered at the silence; till Mrs. Caxton came in. The Old Helmet, Volume II There are known to be only about 560 examples of Caxtons in the world, four-fifths of which are in England, and thirty-one of these are unique. A Book for All Readers An Aid to the Collection, Use, and Preservation of Books and the Formation of Public and Private Libraries Moreover, it was in the original binding, and was bound, probably, by one of Caxton's workmen, whose initials it bore. The Book-Hunter at Home Don't alter the case," said Mrs. Caxton, "except to make it stronger. The Old Helmet, Volume I The shop is literally crammed with rare and interesting books, whilst 'The Caxton Head Catalogues' are got up with every possible care. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting Unconsciously of course, and merely from the necessity of the case; but it was very interesting to Eleanor, and probably to Mrs. Caxton; she looked so. The Old Helmet, Volume II An example of Caxton's press is now almost unattainable, except in fragmentary copies. A Book for All Readers An Aid to the Collection, Use, and Preservation of Books and the Formation of Public and Private Libraries It proved to consist of no less than five of Caxton's publications bound up together. The Book-Hunter at Home The girl rose up and kneeling beside her hid her face in Mrs. Caxton's bosom. The Old Helmet, Volume I He was especially well versed, not only in Caxtons, but in all the best works of the early printers, and many English black-letter books passed through his hands. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting "What is your art, then?" said Mrs. Caxton, looking curious. The Old Helmet, Volume II But, before the dawn of the 16th century Malory had already given us Morte D'Arthur, from the Arthurian cycle, printed, as everyone knows, by the industrious Caxton himself. John Lyly There is a connection somewhere between Malory and Caxton too. The Book-Hunter at Home "Aunt Caxton," said Eleanor at last, "the other question was that one of a refuge." The Old Helmet, Volume I At this time there was not such a rush for Caxtons as we have witnessed since the Roxburghe sale. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting "If you like it," said Mrs. Caxton smiling. The Old Helmet, Volume II But from the beginning of the new century, in the work of men like Lydgate and Caxton, a new habit of comment becomes noticeable. Early Theories of Translation In the Preface to the 1877 reprint, Blades states that 'only one additional fact of any importance has been added, viz. that Caxton was married . . .' and that 'the bibliography has been curtailed.' The Book-Hunter at Home "Aunt Caxton, I understand, I think; but I do not feel; not anything but fear,—and desire." The Old Helmet, Volume I THE introduction of printing into this country by Caxton during the latter half of the fifteenth century had very little immediate effect on book-collecting. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting "You think so because you are not," said Mrs. Caxton. The Old Helmet, Volume II But Caxton objects to the latter as being also unintelligible. Early Theories of Translation Where and when did Malory meet Caxton, who lived for some years about that time at Bruges, discovering that they possessed the same literary tastes? The Book-Hunter at Home But she only looked wistfully at her aunt, and Mrs. Caxton changed the conversation. The Old Helmet, Volume I The value of books at this period is not without interest; but we must confine ourselves to one or two facts relating to Caxton's books. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting After breakfast, a large part of the morning was spent by her aunt and Mr. Rhys in the garden; as Mrs. Caxton had said; and very busy they were. The Old Helmet, Volume II Possibly it is that affectation of an obsolete style to which Caxton refers in the preface to the Eneydos. Early Theories of Translation A sprinkling of Caxtons and De Wordes marked the first day, and these were obtained at high, but, comparatively with the subsequent sums given, moderate prices. The Book-Hunter A New Edition, with a Memoir of the Author "Aunt Caxton, do you always find it easy to know what is the right thing to do—in all circumstances?" The Old Helmet, Volume I The immortal memory of William Caxton, first English printer. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting With Mrs. Caxton he was very much at home; and she could study him at her ease all the better for not talking to him. The Old Helmet, Volume II He regards Virgil as "a per se," and waxes indignant over Caxton's Eneydos, whose author represented it as based on a French rendering of the great poet. Early Theories of Translation Passing over various queries of early date, on which it has been my intention to offer some suggestions, I have endeuoyred me, as Master Caxton expresses it, to illustrate three subjects recently mooted. Notes and Queries, Number 34, June 22, 1850 A Medium of Inter-communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, etc "Aunt Caxton, you know the engagements I am under?" The Old Helmet, Volume I It is certain, however, that Caxton's books have experienced many ups and downs. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting "Mrs. Caxton," said Mr. Rhys the next morning, when half the breakfast had been passed in silence, "have you such a thing as a microscope in the house?" The Old Helmet, Volume II In proof of this he cites Caxton's treatment of proper names. Early Theories of Translation Some people asked Caxton to use in his books the most curious words he could find; others wished him to print only old and homely words. True Stories of Wonderful Deeds Pictures and Stories for Little Folk "Aunt Caxton, I thought I did;—but I know now I do not; not as I think I ought;—I do not as he loves me." The Old Helmet, Volume I Caxton's immediate successors met with a fate similar to his own. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting If the accounts are true—Mrs. Caxton, the world that we do not see, because of the imperfection of our organs, is even far more wonderful than the world that we do see. The Old Helmet, Volume II When, for example, Caxton in the fifteenth century uses the "curious" terms which he thinks will appeal to a clerk or a noble gentleman, his critics complain because the common people cannot understand his words. Early Theories of Translation Caxton liked best the common, simple words which men used daily in their speech. True Stories of Wonderful Deeds Pictures and Stories for Little Folk "I am a poor creature, aunt Caxton!" said Eleanor, hiding her face again. The Old Helmet, Volume I He collected Caxtons and the works of other early English printers with great diligence and judgment for nearly thirty years. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting Mrs. Caxton did not make much answer, and the conversation turned. The Old Helmet, Volume II Of the books which Caxton a century later issued from his printing press a large proportion were English versions of Latin or French works. Early Theories of Translation Caxton did a very good thing when he brought the printing-press to England, for, after that, books became much cheaper, so that many people could buy them, and learning spread in the land. True Stories of Wonderful Deeds Pictures and Stories for Little Folk And again Mrs. Caxton's arm came tenderly round her. The Old Helmet, Volume I At the sale of Dr. Francis Bernard, at his 'late dwelling house in Little Britain,' in October, 1698, thirteen Caxtons were sold, as follows: £ s. d. The Book-Hunter in London Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting I knew he would go," said Mrs. Caxton; "and then we made another call. The Old Helmet, Volume II Elsewhere Caxton expresses concern only for his own language, as it is to be judged by English readers without regard for the qualities of the French. Early Theories of Translation About that time, an Englishman, named William Caxton, lived in Holland, and copied books for a great lady. True Stories of Wonderful Deeds Pictures and Stories for Little Folk The sight of you will only help me, aunt Caxton. The Old Helmet, Volume I The first of these works was finished in 1387, and had at the Renaissance the honour of being printed by Caxton; the second was finished in 1398. A Literary History of the English People From the Origins to the Renaissance Nevertheless he gained ground, to Mrs. Caxton's great satisfaction. The Old Helmet, Volume II As in Caxton's time, two possible means of acquiring new words were suggested, naturalization of foreign words and revival of words from older English sources. Early Theories of Translation All sorts of people crowded to his shop to see Caxton's wonderful press; sometimes the king went with his nobles. True Stories of Wonderful Deeds Pictures and Stories for Little Folk Why had her aunt Caxton sent her that evening, alone, to hear Mr. Rhys preach? The Old Helmet, Volume I Malory and Caxton will be mentioned again in connection with the Renaissance. A Literary History of the English People From the Origins to the Renaissance In all which however Mrs. Caxton thought Eleanor took a very quiet part. The Old Helmet, Volume II Yet like those of Lydgate and Caxton, Bokenam's protestations are not entirely convincing, and in them one catches glimpses of a lurking fondness for the wordiness of fine writing. Early Theories of Translation The Bibliophile tells us of Caxton, Aldine, and Baskerville editions having been exposed for sale by itinerant booksellers, men who in opening their umbrellas opened their shops. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators "Mine never fail of an answer," said Mrs. Caxton. The Old Helmet, Volume I In this part used to be the Prior's seat, and around him were bookcases containing parchment rolls and illuminated missals, to which, after Caxton's time, printed volumes were added. Westminster Abbey "I don't think anybody ever did upon me," said Mrs. Caxton; "and I am sure Mr. Rhys would be shocked if he knew the effect of his presence." The Old Helmet, Volume II But perhaps the most rapid and remarkable change took place in the lifetime of William Caxton, the great printer, who was born in 1410. A Brief History of the English Language and Literature, Vol. 2 Further eastward, on the north side of Caxton Street, is the Medical School in connection with Westminster Hospital. Westminster The Fascination of London Through one or two more turnings Mrs. Caxton led her niece, and opening a door took her out at the other side, the back of the house, where Eleanor's eyes had not been. The Old Helmet, Volume I Caxton was a wealthy merchant, who, in 1464, being sent by Edward IV. to negotiate a commercial treaty with the Duke of Burgundy, returned to his country with this invaluable art. Curiosities of Literature, Vol. 1 One morning Mrs. Caxton asked Mr. Rhys at breakfast if he had leisure to unpack a box for her. The Old Helmet, Volume II It produced in all sixty-four books, nearly all of them in English, some of them written by Caxton himself. A Brief History of the English Language and Literature, Vol. 2 Caxton is often spoken of, incorrectly, as the inventor of printing. Westminster The Fascination of London "This is my favourite walking place in winter," said Mrs. Caxton; "when I want to walk under shelter, or not to go far from home." The Old Helmet, Volume I The highway rates, levied upon the land to make up the tolls sufficient to repair the turnpike road from Royston to Caxton, were in arrear for 1801 and the whole of the next year!

A Brief History of the English Language and Literature, Vol. 2 That credit belongs to Gutenberg, a native of Mainz, but Caxton was the first who brought the art to England and printed English books.
