Excerpt from Catalogue of the William Blades Library The William Blades Library is a collection of books on the History and Practice of Printing - Letterpress and Lithographic - and on Bibliography. As a collection of books it is not a large one, as it extends only to about 2,000 volumes, but it forms a collection which possesses distinct, if not unique features of interest and value to all who are interested in the art by which our books and our newspapers are made. There is, unfortunately and to some extent unaccountably, a singular lack of general interest in the subject. There is no artificial production which comes before us more frequently, and to which we pay greater attention than the product of the printing press, yet the process by which types are formed, and the apparatus for impressing them on paper, with all the delicate methods by which books are produced, excite little curiosity. The William Blades Library, together with the Pass-more Edwards Library, which is contained in an adjoining room - both now rendered easily accessible to all students of printing - will, it is hoped, direct attention to the rich stores of literature in existence bearing on the subject, as well as promote that progress in the technology of the art which it is one of the prime objects of the St. Bride Foundation Institute to aid and to encourage. The William Blades collection is, in the first place, one of the largest of its kind that exists in a separate and independent condition. More extensive collections have from time to time been made, but they have either been eventually dispersed under the hammer of the auctioneer, or they have lost their identity by being incorporated with libraries of books on general subjects. This collection is also remarkable from the fact that it was collected by one man, and one who was animated by a steady purpose from the first beginning of his book-hunting and book-buying career.
