Analysing these diverse outputs, the essay also discusses the equipment and finances of the Printing Office, the people associated with it and the symbolism of the Press as an expression of the Institution's ambitions and public image-building. The relationship with other London printers and booksellers is addressed, as are contemporary developments in printing technology and politically-motivated legislation to regulate the print trade. Later sections explain the reasons for the premature closure of the Printing Office in 1804 and chart its long-term legacy through the work of the printer (and later publisher and author) William Savage and his various collaborators, who included the bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin and, briefly, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Romanticism is the property of Edinburgh University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
