From Duff's Preface: "In the present collection I have endeavoured to give afacsimile of every type used in England in the fifteenth century, and as facsimiles of a few lines of types by themselves are often misleading, i have invariably given a reproduction of the entire page, as near the exact size as photography would admit". - The introduction addresses the printers and presses in detail: William Caxton, Wynkyn de Worde, Julian Notary, John Lettou and William de Machlinia, Printer of "The Sege of Rhodes", Richard Pynson, The Oxford Press, St. Alban's Press, Foreign Printers.
