| Printed at Glasgow by George Anderson, | in the Yeare of Grace, 1638. | " George Anderson's imprint is to be found on numerous books issued during the many years he held office as printer to that city. After his death, which occurred in 1647, Glasgow seems to have been without a printer again. A son of George Anderson, also a printer in Edinburgh, was appealed to by the Magistrates and Council of Glasgow to remove there, which he accordingly did, but after four years' stay he returned to Edin...burgh. His fare and cost of removal of S3 History and Progress of Printing. goods were defrayed, by vote of the Council, out of the Treasurer's funds. The events that followed no doubt were antici- pated, and largely influenced Anderson's return, for in 1663 he obtained the appointment of printer to that city and college ; and later, in 1671, he was appointed the King's Printer for the whole of Scotland. This right was exercised in a very arbitrary way, and prosecutions for the slij>htest infringements were very frequent.
