14236 ALNWICK QUARTO. THE ALNWICK QUARTO, or occasional page of thoughts and contingences. Number II. Alnwick: Thomas Bell, [printer,] Bondgate Street, 11 June, 1827. Broadsheet, (318x250mm), sometime folded horizontally, slightly dust-soiled, particularly at the edges, and rather frayed in the side and tail margins. £60.00
A rare piece of Alnwick printing from the press of Thomas Bell, better known as a bookseller and stationer of Newcastle. Bell registered a press in Alnwick in 1827 but apparently printed nothing but title pages to his own collection of mss and ephemera; of which he was a rapacious collector. This sheet – given over to an account of `The improvement of Alnwick Moor – is printed in two columns and ceases almost halfway down on the reverse where the printer notes `Want of type prevents remarks on a note at page 127 of the 'Pleasures of Gratitude &c.'

This volume in the Print Networks series contains eleven original contributions by scholars working on periodicals and newspaper in the British Isles, outside London. The essays include case studies of individual publishers and their experiences in the print market and demonstrate the cultural and political significance of newspapers and periodicals and their producers. A new theme emerging from the essays is the range of relationships between producers and consumers of print who lived and worked in the provinces and their connections with London. Examination of the question of 'provinciality' sheds considerable new light on the connections between book trade people in all parts of the British Isles. Containing: Iain Beavan Forever provincial? a North British lament, Stephen Brown The market trade for murder and Edinburgh's eighteenth-century book trade, Stephen Colclough 'The retail newsagents of Lancashire are on strike': the dispute between the Lancashire retail newsagents and the 'Northern wholesalers', February-September 1914, Victoria Gardner Humble pie: John Fletcher, business politics and the Chester Chronicle, Graham Hogg Latter struggles in the life of a provincial bookseller and printer: George Miller of Dunbar, Scotland, Maire Kennedy William Flyn (1740-1811) and the readers of Munster in the second half of the eighteenth century, Jennifer Moore John Ferrar 1742-1804: printer, author and public man, Lisa Peters & Kath Skinner Selling the news: distributing Wrexham's newspapers 1850-1900, Michael Powell & Terry Wyke Manchester men and Manchester magazines: publishing periodicals in the provinces in the Nineteenth century, Ria Snowdon, Sarah Hogdson and the business of print 1800-1822, and Elizabeth Tilley National enterprise and domestic periodicals in nineteenth-century Ireland.
