“…On February 9, four days after the raid of Dexter's premises, the bookseller and collector George Thomason acquired a tract by Roger Williams evidently made with Dexter's type. 48 It may be that this tract had been printed several days earlier.

Manual forensic analyses of these most distinctive aberration patterns-bends and fractures, as well as other tell-tale cues identified by bibliographers, have produced evidence connecting anonymously printed works with known printers (Weiss 1992;van den Berg and Howard 2004;Achinstein and Burton 2013;Garrett 2014;Bricker 2016;Lavin 1972;Adams 2010;Como 2012). For example, Charlton Hinman's pioneering work in the 1960s exhaustively compared all letterforms across 55 copies of Shakespeare's First Folio using careful notetaking methods to uncover the collation process (Turner 1966;Hinman 1963).…”

“…Scholar David Cosmo commented that the Cromwellian period was characterized by "parallel processes of radicalization, ultimately allowing for bloody regicidal denouement and a constitutional upheaval that would have been unthinkable for most English subjects in 1640." 17 The Interregnum flagrantly rejected established rule of law and resorted to violence as a political tool, especially evident when the Protectorate took aim at moderate Parliamentary Anglicans who disagreed with the regicide of Charles I. 18 While the Instrument of Government, which formally established constitutional rule of the Protectorate in 1653, may have intended to balance liberty of conscience with the framework of a national religion, what resulted was only an equally stringent grip on the religious life of the nation.…”
