In 1508 he was made Printer to the
King and in that year also he printed two books in roman type, the first
use of that character in England. He is known to have printed at least
371 books, a much smaller number than de Worde, but as a rule larger and
more important books. He is regarded as the best English printer of his
time and the _Liber Intrationum_ is one of his finest books.
Bound in red velvet, with silk linings and gilt edges. Leaf 12-3/4 x
9-1/4 in.
From the Syston Park library, with the book-plate and monogram of Sir
John Henry Thorold.
