AN EXTREMELY SCARCE BLACKBURN IMPRINT, with notes and annotations by a variety of theologians such as Wesley, Tillotson, Grotius, Whitby, and numerous others. Printing in Blackburn had previously been mostly limited to broadsides or small pamphlets until a small number of more ambitious printers, such as Hemingway and Nuttall, came along and produced several large books at the end of the 1700s. This was an attempt at putting Blackburn on the map in terms of printing/publishing. But in the early 1800s it became easier for local booksellers to procure the latest printings from London; thus, Blackburn would never become a hub for printers.
