Excerpt from Oxford Books, Vol. 2: A Bibliography of Printed Works Relating to the University and City of Oxford or Printed or Published There With Appendixes, Annals, and Illustrations
T/ze E arly Oxford Press, a bibliography by myself of printing and publishing at Oxford 1468 - 1640, was published in 1895, and confined itself entirely to books printed or published at Oxford. It was in fact a study of the earlier days of the greatest English press, rather than a view of the literature of Oxford. It was Obvious that sooner or later a more interesting volume would suggest itself, which should add to the record of the Oxford Press a corresponding study of the books which concern Oxford, whether printed at Oxford or not.
The present volume accordingly includes a bibliography of books about Oxford, wheresoever printed, and divides them theoretically into three classes -books of primary importance, fully described; minor pieces, more summarily treated; and thirdly, a register Of the Oxford Press.
