Books printed at Sheffield before 1760
Abstract
THE FIRST BOOK known to have been printed at Sheffield did not appear until 1736. Not even the most fervent upholder of local pride and tradition could claim that this is particularly early. There was, of course, no printing at Sheffield resembling that which occurred at certain provincial towns before 1557, when the Charter granted to the Stationers' Company practically put an end to printing in England outside London, Oxford and Cambridge.
