The infinite variety of people and places touched by the British book trade is the focus of this eighth volume in the Print Networks series. These papers - by established book historians and younger scholars - reflect the complex networks that existed between book trade people in the British Isles and the wider colonial world, focusing on those involved in the creation of the book, from author to agent, publisher to printer, bookseller to reader. The broad chronology covered here allows scholars of book history to observe thematic developments. Topics range from Scotland's earliest printers to late twentieth-century global marketing strategies, also exploring books in and about central America, New Zealand, Australia, Elgin, Northampton, and East Kent, among other diverse locations. These essays demonstrate what the connections between book trade practitioners locally and internationally can tell us about the significance of print. They accomplish this by analyzing the lives of the men and women who created and lived in these fascinating 'worlds of print'. Comprising: Catherine Armstrong 'A just and modest vindication': comparing the responses of the Scottish and English book trades to the Darien Scheme, 1698-1700; Giles Bergel William Dicey and the networks and places of print culture; Stephen Brown Scottish Freemasonry and learned printing in the later eighteenth century; Sarah Miley Cooney William Somerville Orr, London publisher and printer: The skeleton in W. & R.

18935 HUTTON, Catherine. THE LIFE OF WILLIAM HUTTON, F.A.S.S. Including a particular account of the riots at Birmingham in 1791, to which is subjoined, the history of his family, written by himself, and published by his daughter. London: Baldwin, Craddock, and Joy; and Beilby and Knotts, Birmingham, 1816. 8vo, (210x132mm), viii,398p. Frontispiece portrait engraved by Thomas Ranson; the frontis. and title page heavily browned, some occasional spotting thereafter. Modern quarter cloth. Hutton was initially an apprentice in a Derby silk mill before undertaking a second apprenticeship as a stocking-maker in Nottingham. In 1746, seeing bookbinding as an alternative occupation to stocking-making he began to teach himself bookbinding on books bought cheaply; firstly on three unbound volumes of the Gentleman's Magazine which he fastened together in a rough way. The binding materials and tools available locally were inadequate, and in 1749, to acquire better, he borrowed 3 guineas from his sister and walked to London and back, covering the 129 miles each way in three days and spending 10s. 8d. on board and lodging. He resolved to set up as a bookseller, bookbinder, and stationer in Birmingham which had impressed him with the beauty of its buildings and the vivacity of its people. As a preliminary step he took a shop in the market place in Southwell, where there was no other bookseller, and every Saturday walked the 14 miles from Nottingham and back, carrying up to 30 lb. In 1750, Hutton settled in Birmingham where the best part of his stock was the 'refuse' of the library of a Presbyterian minister Ambrose Rudsdell (1707-1750), he soon prospered, saving £20 in his first year, moving into a better shop in the High Street, and opening Birmingham's first circulating library in 1751. In 1756 Hutton set up a paper warehouse in the High Street, the first in Birmingham, which was profitable enough to encourage him to build a paper mill on Handsworth Heath in 1759. The mill was not a commercial success and he abandoned it in 1762. In 1766 he began to speculate in land, an activity which he continued with success into old age, and in 1769 he bought half an acre at Bennett's Hill, Saltley where he built himself a country house. Well known as a dissenter and as one of the group of radical thinkers of which Joseph Priestley was the most prominent member, Hutton suffered severely in the rioting which followed a dinner held in Birmingham on 14 July 1791 to celebrate the second anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. Even though Hutton had declined an invitation to attend the dinner and taken no part in the political and religious disputes of the time, the mob attacked Hutton's house in High Street. He offered to buy them off but they dragged him to the Fountain tavern where he was presented with a bill for 329 gallons of ale. Nonetheless, his house and furniture were destroyed later that evening. £400.00
