Excerpt from A Bibliography of Printing, Vol. 1

The Compilers of this Bibliography of Printing, the first of its kind published in England, had been for some years engaged independently in the collection of materials for such a work as the present, when, by the good offices of Mr. Bernard Quaritch, of Piccadilly, they became personally acquainted and for the first time aware of their several labours and common intention, and thereupon agreed to combine their resources and pursue the task conjointly. It was arranged that the Bibliography should first appear, by monthly instalments, in the Printing Times and Lithographer, and then, after careful revision and correction (for which this serial mode of publication afforded special facilities), be eventually issued in a more complete and permanent form.

In the year 1874 the "Typographical Bibliography" of Mr. John F. Marthens, of Pittsburgh, United States, was printed in the pages of the Quadrat.
