Von Händler/Antiquariat, Ariadne Books, PBFA [58983201], Eynsham, Witney, OXON, United Kingdom.
Copy number 36 of 200. Hand-sewn and cased by hand in quarter linen with hand-marbled paper sides. Royal 8vo, xii, 17pp. Hand set in 14pt Caslon Old face type with Ancient Black in display. The paper is Velin Arches mould-made and the dampened sheets were fed into the press by hand. James Watson was a leading Scottish printer of the early eighteenth century, and one of the smaller items to come from his press in Edinburgh was 'Rules and directions to be observed in printing-houses'. The original printing, in black & red, was in the form of a broadside some 22 by 16 inches. The value of this reprint is much enhanced by the scholarly introduction by D. Wyn Evans who was, at the time, Deputy Librarian at the University of Exeter and who also wrote a bibliography of the works from Watson's press between 1695 and 1722. Loosely inserted prospectus for the book. Condition: fine. Very minor indentation to upper edge of front cover and similar close to the tail of the spine.

Limited to two hundred numbered copies. James Watson 166?-1722 was an important printer in early 18th-century Edinburgh, and the Rules and Directions was issued as a broadside from his press in 1721, presumably written or edited by him. There are rules for apprentices, for compositors, and for pressmen, with a listing of the fines or other penalties to be incurred for infractions. According to the introductory essay by D. Wyn Evans, Watson was involved in what might be called a labor dispute over wages with some of his printers at the time of the appearance of the Rules and Directions, suggesting that the timing of this publication was not a complete coincidence. Not a facsimile, but a reprinted and very lightly edited version, with period page decorations and title page vignette. Publisher's prospectus loosely inserted. xii, 17 pages. quarter cloth, marbled paper-covered boards.. large 8vo.. Hardcover, Label: Black Pennell Press, Black Pennell Press, Product group: Book, Published: 1988, Studio: Black Pennell Press.
