THERE HAS JUST APPEARED a very attractive book of 40 pages, printed by George T. Bailey at the Rum ford Press, Concord. This is Pioneer Printing at Dartmouth, by Professor Ray Nash, with a check-list of Dresden imprints by Harold Goddard Rugg 'O6. The edition is limited to 200 copies, 100 of which are for sale by Mr. Bailey (Box 823, Hanover,) at $2.00 a copy.
In this essay regarding the first press to be set up at Hanover in 1778, when the College section was known as Dresden, Professor Nash reprints various letters and documents relating to this press which by some authorities is considered the original Daye Press, the first press to be brought to the United States. The book is illustrated with a facsimile o£ Eleazar Wheelock's letter to one of his trustees in Connecticut urging him to find a printer to settle at the college, together with two facsimiles of title pages of Dresden items and a facsimile page from one of the unique Dresden imprints.
Professor Nash is to be congratulated on presenting in such an interesting way the story of the first Hanover press and on bringing together in so attractive a format some of the original documents regarding this press. He gives also the results of his own scholarship regarding type and paper used. Other information about this press appeared in the issues of THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE for May 1920 and October 1939.
