WILLIAM (1824-1890) , See also:English printer and bibliographer, was See also:born at Clapham, See also:London, on the 5th of See also:December 1824. In 184o he was apprenticed to his' See also:father's See also:printing business in London, being subsequently taken into See also:partnership. The See also:firm was afterwards known as Blades, See also:East & Blades. His See also:interest in printing led him to make a study of the volumes produced by See also:Caxton's See also:press, and of the See also:early See also:history of printing in See also:England. His See also:Life and See also:Typography of William Caxton, England's First Printer, was published in 1861-1863, and the conclusions which he set forth were arrived at by a careful examination of types in the early books, each class of type being traced from its first use to the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time when, spoilt by See also:wear, it passed out of Caxton's hands. Some 450 volumes from the Caxton Press were ,thus carefully compared and classified in See also:chronological See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

order. In 1877 Blades took an active See also:part in organizing the Caxton celebration, and strongly supported the See also:foundation of the Library Association. He was a keen See also:collector of old books, prints and medals. His publications relate chiefly to the early history of printing, the Enemies of Books, his most popular See also:work, being produced in 1881. He died at See also:Sutton in See also:Surrey on the 27th of See also:April 1890.
