Excerpt from The Story of a Printing House: Being a Short Account of the Strahans and Spottiswoodes In producing a second edition with additional matter, I desire to express my thanks to Mr. H. L. Bullen, the enthusiastic librarian of the Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type Founders' Company, for bringing to my notice much of William Strahan's earlier correspondence with Franklin and David Hall. My thanks are also due to the proprietors of the 'sphere' for per mission to reproduce Dr. Yohnson's last letter to William Strahan, as well as some receipts of his and to the Governors of the St. Bride Foundation Technical Library for allowing me to reproduce their engraving of William Preston.
