. A list of the reproductions both imitations and in fac-simile of the productions of the press of William Caxton, England's first ^iRoce+co+cRG^AmeRi^an+GDicion^. APPILY, it is not needful in presenting thisbooklet and asking for it public appreciationand patronage, that it should be preceded byan apologetic note. The author has statedin his Preliminary Observations the reasonswhich led him to compile this List of theReproductions of the Productions ofthe Press of William Caxton, a task forwhich he is eminently qualified, having been for many years aclose student of the history of Caxton, and the lives and laborsof the early English printers. The descriptions of the Repro-ductions of the works from Caxtons press may be unhesita-tingly accepted as accurate and trustworthy. All of them aremade from volumes in the authors possession. So far distant is the United States from the land of Caxton,and the scene of his labors, that it is not to be expected thatthe same active interest should be felt in his history that isnow present, and stronger than ever, in England. Yet we areby no means destitute of an interest in Caxton and thingsCaxtonian. As earl
