Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 3 of 6: Comprizing Biographical Memoirs of William Bowyer, Printer, F. S. An; And Many of His Learned Friends; An Incidental View of the Progress and Advancement of Literature in This Kingdom During the Last Century; And Biographical Anecdotes of a Considerable N In the beginning of the year 1766, by engaging in a partnership with the Writer of these Memoirs, Mr. Bowyer was again enabled to withdraw, in some degree, from that close application which had begun to be prejudicial to his health. His new Associate, whilst an Apprentice, had been intrusted with a considerable share of the management of the Printing-office; and the connexion was such as, I am proud to say, was highly satisfactory to Mr. Bowyer. To his Partner, it was all that a young man could possibly have hoped for; it was an introduction to a number of respectable Friends, whose patronage was equally honourable and advantageous. The good-natured Reader will pardon the vanity of this paragraph; it is meant as a tribute of gratitude to a Benefactor, whose memory the Writer cannot but heartily revere. In the succeeding Annals of Mr. Bowyer´s Life, the mode hitherto adopted will be observed. The productions of the press will be considered as his, without encumbering the narrative with the unnecessary distinction of a Partnership.
