Excerpt from Printing and the Renaissance: A Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club of Rochester, New York

We must pass over entirely the history of publishing and book-selling in ancient times, a subject too vast for adequate summary in a preliminary survey of this sort. With the fall of Rome and the wholesale destruction that accompanied the barbarian invasions a new chapter begins in the history of the dissemination of literature.
