Nor was the development of the trade during the ensuing half century in the least spectacular. Between 1751 and 1800 only sixteen printing offices were opened in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Ontario.

    Bartholomew Green was born in 1699 in Cambridge, Mass., and learned printing in Boston in the shop of his father of the same name, of whom Isaiah Thomas remarked “He was the most distinguished printer of that period in this country and did more business than any of the profession.” In 1725, Bartholomew Jr. printed over his own imprint half a dozen small works for Boston booksellers and continued printing in Boston, for a while in some association with his brother-in-law, Richard Draper (who succeeded to Bartholomew Sr.’s business on the latter’s death in 1732), for some years in partnership...
