Ordinances of the Stationers' Company.

1678—1682. A.D.

^LL the earlier manuscript Ordinances appear to have perished.
It is however very necessary to a right understanding of the
operations of the Company that we should give the earliest known
(privately-printed) text of them, which are those printed in 1678,
1682 and 1683. These Regulations, though they may vary in
some particulars, are doubtless substantially the same as those

now lost: and they are, with some variations, the Ordinances at present in

force in the Company.
