This copy of Horace Hart’s Rules for Compositors and Readers was taken from a broadside edition published internally in the Clarendon Press (OUP) in 1893. It was republished in 1994 in facsimile by the Printing Historical Society and distributed with the Spring 1994 issue of Printing Historical Bulletin. Hart”s Rules went on to become a standard in the printing and publishing business in the UK and elsewhere and is still available —now as a book — as the authoritative guide for writers and editors.
