A native of Vermont, Dr. Church was responsible for several typographical inventions, including the first typesetting machine in 1822. Its impact was so startling to hand compositors that the invention was called an impossibility, a chimera, a hoax. This illustrated study addresses Church's inventions, their reception within the trade, and their influence on printing practice. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue cloth. From the dust jacket: "Every new mechanical device or method must have a beginning and an inventor. This book is about an original invention and an American mechanical genius who is almost completely unknown on the American side of the Atlantic Ocean. The purpose of the book is to bring this inventor out of obscurity and to give him long overdue credit for his important inventions Interwoven in this story is an account of his typographical inventions -- the first typesetting machine in history, a new style of typecasting machine, and a new form of printing press. The influence of these inventions on printing practices is emphasized, and their technics are described in a clear, understandable manner. Church was also the inventor of many other devices and methods of manufacture, ranging from buttons to locomotives. There is a Foreword by Marcus McCorison, of the American Antiquarian Society. The book is illustrated, and contains Appendixes of patent drawings and 52 of his inventions. There is also an Index, and an extensive bibliography.". Signed by the Author (his signature only). First Edition, Limited 500 copies. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. 8vo. xv, 79pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
