Acknowledgments

When I began my research on Lydia Bailey twenty-five years ago, the myth that women were not much involved in commercial letterpress printing during the handpress period was still relatively common. The contributions of such outstanding examples as Guyone Viart (wife of Johannes Higman, Henri Estienne, and Simone de Colines) and Mary Goddard (the first to print the Declaration of Independence with the names of the signatories) were acknowledged. The high levels of participation of women in general were yet to be recognized. I am delighted to see that this is no longer the case. It is now common knowledge, at least within the community studying the history of the book, that women were very active in large numbers in the business of letterpress printing from the earliest days of printing in the Western world. (Scholars have also recognized that centuries earlier they were involved in similar developments in China.) That said, I am unaware of any monograph dedicated to the study of a single woman printer active during the handpress period. This volume seeks to fi ll that void. In doing so, the intent is to give audiences a more thorough understanding of how female proprietors of printing presses sought to do business in a predominantly masculine world. This labor of love could not have been accomplished without the support I received from many wonderful people. This list of honorary patrons could not possibly begin with anyone but James Green, currently the librarian at the Library Company of Philadelphia. His generosity of spirit and astounding knowledge are in large part responsible for this publication. He has been the best of mentors since our fi rst meeting in 1985 and remains a dear friend and advisor. I count it as one of my great fortunes to have spent a dozen years sitting across the room from a person few would argue is one of this generation’s most knowledgeable regarding the intimate details and the broad developments in the early American book trade. He read this work numerous times during its development and suggested countless improvements.

I received sage advice from many other generous readers and advisors and am deeply grateful to them all. I hope I am not leaving anyone out when I extend special thanks here to Rosalind Remer, Peter Stallybrass, Robert Gross, Elizabeth Morse, Dan Traister, Kenneth Carpenter, Hope Mayo, Lisa Baskin, Caroline Sloat, Michael Winship, John Bidwell, Roger Gaskell, Arthur Humphrey, and an anonymous, very thorough reader from the American Antiquarian Society. I need to single out the entire staff of the Library Company, both past and present. Thank you, Benjamin Franklin, for getting the ball rolling; thank you, Zachariah Paulson, George Campbell, and John Jay Smith, for collecting so assiduously during your tenures as librarians; and thank you in par ticu lar, Edwin Wolf, for having the wisdom not to throw Lydia’s imprints away and for preserving the Library Company’s magnificent collections for future scholars. The colleagues with whom I worked and those who have joined the Library Company family since I left in 1996 have always shown great patience with my obsession and have even encouraged it with their observations and contributions—thank you for listening and for answering all my e-mails. I am doubly fortunate in fi nding myself surrounded by equally encouraging colleagues at Houghton. Their insistence that I keep on working on this manuscript even though I was leagues away from Philadelphia was fundamental to my per sistence. In fact, I want to give a shout to all the librarians who have inspired and helped me over the years—it might be surprising to hear that despite the local nature of my study, they span this entire country and Canada. A par ticu lar hurrah goes to those of the American Antiquarian Society. As many scholars are aware, no one surpasses librarians in the ability to dig up information and, although the information world we live in is changing dramatically and resources are shrinking, there are many, many people who appreciate im mensely the work they do. Over the years I received four grants to pursue my work. Three of them came from Harvard’s programs encouraging professional development in its librarians, and one was from the Bibliographical Society of America. I hope that these programs continue to foster growth in understanding the history of the book in its myriad forms. They are needed even more today as more and more material is digitized—to analyze, collate, and fuse together the artifactual evidence of the many cultures of which we are the product. To all my friends and family, both past and present, too numerous to mention, thank you so much for having confidence in me.

are. Imagine how boring those warm breezy nights on the deck on Block Island are going to be without the topic of my saga with Lydia to spice them up. Twenty- six years ago I had never heard of Lydia Bailey and was yet to become a mother. Since that time, as Lydia has gestated, I have watched my two children, Clare and Channing, grow from rambunctious babies into remarkable adults. I dedicate these pages to you.

Lydia Bailey Mistress of Her Situation

Setting the Stage The career of the printer Lydia R. Bailey spans the better part of the nineteenth century, a period when the printing trade was undergoing major changes. The extant material documenting her work includes almost a thousand imprints, seven manuscript workbooks, and miscellaneous contemporary printed and manuscript accounts. This combination of materials permits a scrutiny not usually afforded by contemporary sources and opens a window onto the economic, social, and individual experiences of this long-lived and quite successful printer. In some ways, her experiences reflect those of other letterpress printers who preceded her. In other ways, they teach us more about how an individual young widow broke new ground, prospering as the proprietor of one of the busiest printing establishments in Philadelphia during the first half of the nineteenth century.1 By the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the American printing trade was dominated by small, tightly knit networks of craftsmen and entrepreneurs located primarily in urban environments, whose ser vices and influence reached into surrounding regional communities.2 The trade followed traditional European models, in which individuals were often responsible for a multitude of the activities associated with the manufacture and distribution of books. Entrance into the trade was either through the apprenticeship system or through family. Printing offices were fairly small businesses run by families employing a handful of workers and apprentices, many of whom were relatives or personal acquaintances living on or near the premises. These businesses commonly combined letterpress printing with the wholesale distribution of books. Frequently closely allied were such related activities as copperplate printing, papermaking, typefounding, binding, newspaper publishing, retailing, and the selling of stationery and other dry goods. Although not every printing firm carried on all aspects of production, often close kin specialized in various branches of the trade, coordinating their efforts with one another. Operations rarely exceeded more than a dozen workers and two or three presses.3

Lydia Bailey’s heritage was typical for a woman entering the printing trade, to whom the formal apprentice route was generally not available and whose involvement in the marketplace relied on learning the trade at home and through family connections.4 She was born Lydia Steele on February 1, 1779, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (see fig. 1).5 Her father, William Steele (1750/1751–1822), was the son of a respected gentleman landowner in Lancaster County of Scotch-Irish descent, also named William Steele (1707–1780). The senior William Steele was married to Rachel Carr “of Maryland” (1726–1798), who came from a prominent printing family active in Baltimore, New York, and Philadelphia.6 He and all his sons distinguished themselves in the military (most of them in the American War of Independence, some in the War of 1812) and, as a result, assumed prominent roles in the social communities of Lancaster and Philadelphia. One of his sons, John Steele (1753–1827), who had attained the rank of general and had served directly under Washington in the Revolutionary War (at one point acting as personal bodyguard to Mrs. Washington), began operating a small printing shop in Philadelphia in 1783. In 1788 he established a paper mill on Octoraro Creek on the border of Lancaster and Chester Counties; this mill flourished until 1844 under the proprietorship of John and another brother, James, who also did a small amount of printing in the 1790s in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.7 The junior William Steele was a local prothonotary (clerk of the courts) and justice of the peace and had a partial interest in his brothers’ businesses. What little evidence he has left behind (some war letters to his wife and his will) suggests that he and his family led a comfortable, if not lavish, life.8 Lydia Bailey’s mother, Elizabeth Steele, was herself born a Bailey. The Baileys were both neighbors and business associates of the Steeles. Lydia Bailey’s maternal grandfather, Robert Bailey Sr. (1708–1798), like the senior William Steele, had amassed a large estate in Lancaster County by the mid-eighteenth century (more than 230 acres); he also owned a country estate in Octoraro Valley. He had six children: Jacob, Francis, Lydia, Abigail, Jane, and Elizabeth.9 Both sons grew up to be successful revolutionary-era printers, and the daughters reportedly learned the craft by their sides. According to one apocryphal story, “Before her marriage [Abigail] lived with her brother in Lancaster, Francis Bailey. . . . She often sat in his office with her sewing and watched him setting type. One day she said to him, ‘Francis, I think I can help you’ and at once commenced operations and actually set up the fi rst pocket almanac which was printed in the State.”10 The more famous of the two brothers, Francis Bailey (1735? –1817), is now recognized as one of this country’s fi rst typefounders; he was also the publisher of a maverick liberal newspaper, the Freeman’s Journal, and an official

printer for Congress and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.11 With printing offices in both Philadelphia and Lancaster beginning in the late 1770s, he was closely connected to the area’s various book trades and counted as associates and customers most of the local bookmen and many prestigious civic leaders and institutions. One indication of Francis Bailey’s centrality in the trade is the fact that he was one of three witnesses to the codicil of Benjamin Franklin’s will, drawn up by Franklin on June 23, 1789. His business associates extended from Boston south to Charleston, South Carolina. Although the papermaking trade in the Philadelphia region blossomed in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, offering the wares of dozens of mills, the Baileys naturally used the Steeles as a major source for their paper. By the mid-1790s Francis Bailey’s son, Robert Bailey (1774–1808), had come of age and taken control of his father’s flourishing Philadelphia shop.12 His fi rst imprints appeared in 1795. On June 22, 1797, Robert married his first cousin, Lydia Steele.13 We hear nothing from Lydia herself during the ten-plus years of her marriage, although contemporary accounts survive that reveal a little of her character. In an 1804 letter to a neighbor, an exasperated Robert Bailey complains bitterly and at length of a par ticu lar episode concerning the prankishness of said neighbor’s charges, relating how their disrespectful behavior drove his wife to protect their property and her children’s safety: Mrs. Bailey desired them to desist [throwing stones], apprehensive of the windows. The greater part done so, but your boy still persisted, she a second time ordered him off without affect [sic]; she then told him she would box his ears if he did not desist. He in the most sneering and impertinent manner “requested her to do it if she dare—that he would be glad to catch her at it— she would rue it—that it would not be good for her, etc.” together with many similar provoking impressions. At this moment I came forward considerably warmed by his impertinence and told him if he did not begone I would horse-whip him, he defied and dared to do it with the most provoking effrontery in short invited me to do it at my peril. I immediately passed into the house and procured a horse-whip and should most assuredly have punished the boy for his excessive impertinence had he not had recourse to fl ight. The above is one among several instances of his impertinence. With respect to the girl I shall also adduce an instance of the impropriety of her conduct by which you may be able to judge of her conduct when from under the eye of those of whom she is afraid. My youngest child very ill was in bed while my wife was attending her—my eldest scarcely more than three years old was sitting on the window seat, your girl came to the window and took

hold of the child in order to assist her to clamber into the window, thereby much endangering the safety of the child, my servant woman discovering the danger forbid her and told her Mrs. Bailey would be much displeased were she to see her do so. Her reply was she did not care a damn for Mrs. B. that she would come as often as she pleased and that Mrs. B. might kiss her a——e if she liked. The same or the next day she came into the house and Mrs. B. slapped her for the expressions she had made use of and on going out she used the most provoking and insulting language.14 Lydia Bailey’s vitality no doubt aided her well in her multifaceted role as wife, mother, housekeeper, and assistant in her husband’s business.15 Like many printers, Robert Bailey was also a bookseller and a purveyor of a variety of general goods, including stationery supplies, food, liquor, furniture, kitchen tools, hardware, and linens. Lydia, like many wives in the early Republic, would have worked in the store’s back room; in her case, this work likely included folding and stitching printed sheets and maybe even setting type. Louis McKinstry, a late nineteenth- century printer, attested that “a wife was a necessity if the printer wanted to succeed in business,” but more pointedly, as the eighteenthcentury Boston retailer Elizabeth Murray pointed out, “Many familys [sic] are ruined by the women not understanding accounts.”16 Much evidence makes it clear that women were relied on heavily for their accounting prowess in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America. For example, a 1755 advertisement of the Philadelphian William Dawson promoted “an evening school for young ladies” that included instruction in “arithmetic” and “accounts, by way of single entry, in a plain methodical manner.”17 A manuscript book of Sarah B. Pollock titled “Practical arithmetic comprising all the rules for transacting business executed at Mrs. Rowan’s Academy, 1810,” owned by the American Antiquarian Society, further demonstrates the great lengths to which young women would apply themselves in learning mathematical calculations and accounting. Benjamin “What we get, the Women save” Franklin famously advocated mathematical training for tradesmen’s wives. This view was certainly shaped by his wife, Deborah, whose contributions to his business successes were substantial; additionally, he involved himself deeply in the commercial activities of many other female acquaintances, among them his sister, Jane Mecom, his sister-in-law, Ann Franklin, and Elizabeth Timothée, the widow of his South Carolina partner, Louis Timothée.18 In his Autobiography he attributed the widow Timothée’s success in the print trade to her childhood training in account keeping, whereas her husband had been ignorant of such matters. He

went on: “That branch of education [accounting] for our young females, [is] as likely to be of more use to them and their children in case of widowhood than either music or dancing by preserving them from losses by imposition of Crafty Men, and enabling them to continue perhaps a profitable mercantile House with establish’d Correspondence till a Son is grown up fit to undertake and go on with it, to the lasting advantage and enriching of the family.”19 Certainly Robert’s business was one that could well have gone under if it were not for his spouse’s abilities. It is difficult to know the precise extent of Lydia’s involvement, but there are sufficient references to her in Robert’s correspondence to make it evident that Lydia did indeed help him in many ways. 20 Her hand is seen recording transactions in Robert’s later accounts. Robert was a notoriously bad businessman who took the standard business practice of extending long credit and made an art of it, draining both his own and his father’s resources on numerous occasions; in excuse for his ineptitude, the young man repeatedly confessed to a faulty memory and admitted the superiority of his wife’s.21 As he once wrote to his father, Lydia’s “recollection appears to be more retentive than mine, and if you think mine essential, hers must be much more so.”22 Sadly, whatever assistance Lydia did contribute was not enough to keep the business healthy, and it appears that her life, not unlike the lives of many of her female contemporaries, was one of considerable demand and struggle. Consequently, when Robert Bailey died on March 18, 1808, Lydia found herself in sole possession of her deceased husband’s insolvent business.23 At age twentynine she had four young children to support and was left with a business heavily in debt. Rather than giving in to these “embarrassed circumstances,” she took the helm. As an obituary years later reported, “Shaking off the incubus of sorrow, or holding it in abeyance,” Lydia Bailey “face[d] the world and became mistress of [her] situation.”24 Unlike many previous printer widows, Lydia was not content simply to wind the business down or keep it ticking for a short time until a male could succeed her. She never relinquished her authority. She succeeded in rescuing the family business, not by remarrying and not by handing the business over to her son when he came of age, but by thriving under her own imprint for more than five decades.25 In order to understand Lydia Bailey’s success, examining precedents is of the utmost importance. For many centuries single women had had a par ticular economic, social, and legal standing that set them apart from their married sisters. Under the English common law of coverture, wives were seen as appendages of their husbands and therefore had few or no legal rights—they could not

independently engage in business transactions, make contracts, or hold property. Not so unmarried women. Referred to as femes sole, these women could own, devise, and sell property, make contracts, and sue and be sued. This was an opportunity that many generations of women before Lydia Bailey seized, and they often flourished as independent businesswomen. Although widows were saddled with the added responsibility of rearing children and running a household on their own, they seem to have been particularly suited to this role, perhaps because they had learned business practices through their experiences as wives. Within the context of the early American period, this is evidenced in contemporary directories and the many advertisements placed by women (usually widows) selling their wares in newspapers.26 Cornelius William Stafford’s Philadelphia directory, for 1801 lists women as innkeepers, washerwomen, boardinghouse matrons, shopkeepers, grocers, butchers, schoolmistresses, hucksters, seamstresses, milliners, and midwives; a majority of them are referred to as widows.27 All but two of the twenty-three American women printers who preceded Bailey in the trade were widows.28 In fact, Lydia’s widowhood could not have happened at a better historical time, for she was able to exploit these advantages of widowhood and her single status in ways future generations of widows could not. In certain early republican circles there was a growing sense that women had as much right to a full education, held as much potential for contributing to the growth of the new nation, and were as intellectually capable as any man. This may well have affected Lydia’s decision not to remarry. “I feel quite alert at the thoughts of doing something that may set me on a little step above absolute dependence,” wrote the widow Margaret Hill Morris to her sister in 1780, presaging sentiments expressed in published sources as varied as Benjamin Rush’s Thoughts upon female education (1787), Judith Sargent Murray’s On the equality of the sexes (1790), and Susanna Rowson’s poem “Women as they are” (1804).29 In contrast, throughout the nineteenth century the role of women in society was increasingly domesticized by political and cultural ideology.30 Specifically in the printing trade, by midcentury a common refrain in the literature was that women were not up to the strenuous and coarse task of working in printing houses and that, by employing women, owners were taking jobs away from men with families to support. As Representative Charles F. Town expounded at a Buffalo convention of the National Typographical Union in 1854, feminine sensibilities would be compromised in the print shop through exposure to “many medical and other scientific works . . . which contain matter eminently unfitted and highly improper for the perusal of modest young women.”31 The industrialization of the printing trades, as seen in the growth of unions and the rise of such large plants as Harper’s and

8

Wiley and Putnam’s, also had a detrimental effect on women’s abilities to hold positions of authority. (Although the nineteenth century would see an increase in the numbers of women in lower-paying jobs, such as that of compositor, in which they were regularly paid less per hour than their male counterparts.)32 Another example of this decline in the mercantile status of women can be seen in the rapid growth in the early nineteenth century of such professional fields as law, medicine, and the accounting industry. The publications of the latter were specifically geared toward men; although women were not prohibited from such education per se, the marketing of it as a pedagogy was directed at the masculine population.33 As Frederick Beck said in his Young accountant’s guide (Boston, 1831), “No gentleman’s education is complete without it” (my emphasis).34 This is in stark contrast to the integral role played by women in earlier commercial activities. Also in Lydia Bailey’s favor was the precedent, alluded to earlier, of women playing active roles in the printing trades. This participation extended back almost to the first use of movable type in Europe. At the Convent of San Jacopo di Ripoli near Florence, where there was an active commercial press from 1476 to 1484, nuns acted as compositors. The first woman’s name to be attached to a colophon as a printer was that of Anna Rüger of Augsburg, who inherited her husband’s press when he died in 1483. Other early Continental women printers who were active both in the business directly and in the building of printing dynasties included Maria Torresani, the wife of Aldus Manutius; Guyone de Viart, wife of Johannes Higman, Henri Estienne, and Simone de Colines; Perette Badius, daughter of Josse Bade and wife of Robert Estienne; and Gertrude Lachner, wife of Johann Froben.35 Maureen Bell, in her essay “Women in the English Book Trades, 1557–1700,” identifies almost four hundred women involved in the English book trades during the seventeenth century alone.36 Represented in their numbers were professions as varied as business proprietors, publishers, compositors, illustrators, and hawkers and mercuries. On the other side of the Atlantic, in 1594 the Mexican María de Sansoric began the tradition of women printers in North America when she inherited her deceased husband’s business. The fi rst press operated in the North American colonies was maintained by a woman: Elizabeth (Harris) Glover inherited its proprietorship when her husband died on the journey from England to America and ran it from its inception in 1639 until her marriage to Henry Dunster two years later. Benjamin Franklin’s and Isaiah Thomas’s accounts are full of colonial women who either supported their husbands in the printing business or ran those businesses in their absences, often in an “official” capacity to government operations.37 Franklin himself actively promoted a number of female

relatives and acquaintances in the printing trades, among them his sister-in-law, Ann Franklin; the aforementioned Elizabeth Timothée; her daughter-in-law, Ann; and his granddaughter, Sally Mecom.38 Lydia Bailey would never have succeeded in her operations if it were not for such historical precedents. That said, her achievements were due to a much wider set of circumstances, both social and personal, some of which indeed had been in place for generations, but others of which were of more recent vintage.

The Early Years Lydia Bailey’s surviving business accounts are the primary tools for understanding how she responded to these circumstances, both immediately after her husband’s death and in subsequent years. The bulk of these accounts are in six volumes at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and one at the American Antiquarian Society.39 Such workbooks, generated for practical purposes without a great deal of introspection, are a particularly authentic guide; unlike diaries, which are reflective, or court records, which chronicle only certain contentious circumstances, they open historical moments to readers with a unique transparency.40 However, an important observation to make when one is trying to analyze the progress of Lydia Bailey’s business is that most of her extant account books cover only the early part of her career. It is clear from comparing these books with the work she produced in later years that her business focus evolved so much over the decades that her early output little resembled her later work. She inherited and successfully continued a printing operation that depended on local booksellers for most of its work, but by the late 1820s she was relying much more on an assortment of government offices and charitable institutions; and by the end of her career these were the only patrons she had. As required by law, Lydia began by paying off her husband’s sizable debts (creditors’ rights came before a widow’s rights in Pennsylvania law) and proceeded with business at hand.41 In one notebook, just days after Robert’s demise, she wrote, “Cash Lydia R. Bailey Received as administratrix to the estate of her husband Robert Bailey from Jacob Johnson 52.95. Ditto from Domonac Sanford 3.33.” This is followed by a long list of debts paid, consisting of twenty-five names at a total of $601.56.42 She completed various unfi nished transactions and printed the next numbers in a series of almanacs that Robert had been printing. In addition, she continued what was already a flourishing business for the Bailey shop in the “finishing” of maps and globes. This

specialty entailed coloring, backing with linen, varnishing, and putting maps on rollers. This was historically a point of intersection between map publishers and women involved in cottage industries that related to their traditional domestic responsibilities of fabric making and sewing.43 These women are largely lost to history. Contemporaries viewed their work as menial, and it was very poorly paid, but Lydia turned this seemingly insignificant manual labor into a long-lived and lucrative business. Her map memoranda book (fig. 2), in which she itemized each map she treated, for whom, and for how much, chronicled decades of work that she did for numerous individuals, schools, booksellers, institutional patrons, and the municipal government.44 (Two hand-colored and varnished engraved maps at the Library Company of Philadelphia bear a small clipped printed label reading “Varnished, &c., &c. by Lydia R. Bailey.”)45 She took stock early on and submitted, “The following is the necessary expenses in fi nishing maps, my object in keeping an account of it is mearly for my own satisfaction to know what I clear by them in the course of each year.” 46 At the same time, Lydia soon departed from certain established practices. She did not run a large retail bookshop. As other scholars have pointed out, the livelihood of colonial booksellers frequently depended on imported stock, so this was a significant departure. There are no indications that Lydia oper-

ated a dry goods store, as did some predecessors, Deborah Franklin being the most obvious example.47 There is evidence in her workbooks that she initially was buying almanacs in bulk, though for what precise purposes is unclear, and such instances disappear within the fi rst few years of her operations; the small shop she operated in front of her printing office early in her career soon seems to have stocked only her own imprints, a few select other titles, and related stationery supplies.48 These decisions may or may not have been calculated, but without question Lydia was responding to the expanding demand for printed goods brought on by a growing population, increasing social prosperity and literacy, and improved transportation. This made it possible for more and more people to enter the trade, but the consequent rising output also accelerated competition and made it imperative for businesses to reconfigure their methods and increase their efficiency. As the economic historian Charles Sellers explained in broad terms, these factors resulted in “a vast extension of the division of labor, or, in other words, specialization of economic activities. Areas and individuals that formerly had been self-sufficing began to concentrate on the one product or ser vice they could produce most efficiently.” 49 In the book trades this is observable in the growing separation of the roles of publisher and printer and the fragmentation of the printing trade into specialized work, a pattern that was replayed many times in the history of the trade as population and demand increased. By the early nineteenth century the operations of the most successful American publishers (such as Mathew Carey in Philadelphia and Isaiah Thomas in Massachusetts) were expanding enough that they could increasingly concentrate on distribution efforts, leaving their counterparts in the printing trade to focus on the mechanical multiplication of printed texts. Shifting with the times, Lydia responded to this trend and, in doing so, was part of the first generation of Americans who became specialty printers.50 Instead of remaining an all-purpose business, over time she largely abandoned the publishing and distributing of her own printed material and concentrated on printing not for herself but for others. A majority of this printing relied heavily on contractual relationships. That is, although she may not have held written contracts with her patrons, they considered her the source of regular, recurring printing, and publishers turned to her for routine printing needs. Such were her early relationships with such prominent publishers as Thomas and Robert DeSilver and Johnson and Warner, for whom she printed a vast number of juvenile chapbooks between 1809 and 1814, and the Philadelphia Female Tract Society from 1816 to 1820. A prime example of this type of work was the almanac printing in which she was engaged from the outset of her career through 1835. Almanacs, because

their astronomical observations were accurate only in a narrow geographic range, had historically been the province of local printers; since they were usually issued annually and involved the printing of tables and charts, those who printed them had to be reliable, efficient, and accurate in their work. Philadelphia had had a healthy almanac industry since the early colonial period, when almost every printer produced at least one almanac (and sometimes two or three). This increased competition and challenged printers to issue the best and longest they could at the best price for a tidy profit. This held true in the early nineteenth century as well, when an average of about twenty almanacs a year were produced in Philadelphia.51 Like a handful of other printers, Lydia specialized in printing almanacs for a number of publishers annually; she often used the same setting of type for the calendars and part of the text for multiple patrons, thus reducing her labor and increasing her profits. She did not print every almanac for every one of these publishers every year, but she did produce routine work for a dozen of them over the course of her career. These activities not only guaranteed regular work for Lydia but were profitable as well and are a testimony to her reliability and accuracy. Capitalizing on this reputation, she also published three series under her own name during the early decades of her career: Bailey’s Rittenhouse almanac was inherited from Robert and was issued until 1820 (fig. 3), when it was superseded by Bailey’s Washington almanac, which ran concurrently with Bailey’s Franklin almanac for most of the 1820s. Bailey responded to the changing market environment not by entrepreneurial risk taking but by specializing cautiously. The titles she selectively chose to market were steady sellers, including school texts, almanacs, and Bibles. Early entries in her journal record shipments to booksellers in Lancaster of miscellaneous popular titles ranging from William Enfield’s Sermons to the perennial favorite Cock Robin. Most of her publishing activities were limited to the early part of her career when she was first establishing a name for herself. She turned to family ties to produce editions of two sure sellers, Philip Freneau’s popu lar poetry in 1809 and a New Testament in 1810. In later years her publishing activity dwindled. In the December 1821 issue of the Portfolio Bailey proposed to republish by subscription Charles Chauncy’s A complete view of Episcopacy, fi rst published in 1771; there is no evidence that she ever produced this edition. In 1825 she joined with a consortium of booksellers to issue a new edition of a title she had previously printed for them, Jeremiah Joyce’s Scientifi c dialogues. In 1834 she published William Giles’s The guide to domestic happiness, which had first been printed in London in 1776 and was well out of copyright. She likely saw this less as a moneymaker than as a way to disseminate her moral views.

Lydia printed a number of texts in different languages (including Latin, French, and Spanish), but she did not limit herself by specializing in the printing and distribution of any one language, as did such contemporaries as Nicolas Gouin Dufief and Andrew J. Blocquerst with French and Conrad Zentler and Jacob Meyer with German (she did not own any Fraktur type).52 Some of the volumes she printed contained engraved plates, but she never overextended her shop’s abilities by printing hard-to-distribute, expensive plate books. She did not involve her office exclusively in the printing of a particular subject genre, such as medical, mathematical, or scientific textbooks, travel books, or academic printing, as some of her contemporaries did. She never involved herself in the often risky, high-profi le, and controversial business of newspaper printing (which Isaiah Thomas asserted needed at least six hundred subscribers just to come out even), no doubt partially because of her gender.53 All these specializations were left to the many other printers seeking market niches for themselves. Thanks to the expanding demands of an increasingly literate society, Lydia Bailey could avoid all these more risk-prone endeavors and still do well. Rather, like many of her female predecessors in the trade, by dint of both social circumstances and inclination, she concentrated on a segment of the marketplace that was marginal but thriving—in her case, job printing of ephemera for other clients. Job printing, here defined to include not only items printed on a single sheet but also leaflets and small pamphlets, constitutes the bulk of the output of Lydia’s press. Although earlier scholars undervalued job printing in favor of focusing on book production, most historians today fully acknowledge that the job printing of ephemera played a vital role in the livelihood of most printing houses from the establishment of printing with movable type. Some historians go so far as to say that without the moneymaking potential of this sort of ephemera to bankroll operations, books such as the Gutenberg Bible and Shakespeare’s First Folio would never have been printed (it is worth remembering that the fi rst items off Gutenberg’s press were indulgences). As Elizabeth Eisenstein writes, “[ Job printing] lent itself to commercial advertising, official propaganda, seditious agitation, and bureaucratic red tape as no scribal procedure ever had.”54 The Incunabula Short Title Catalogue records approximately twenty-nine thousand editions printed in the fi rst fi fty years of printing; by some estimates, something between five and ten thousand additional editions, most of which would have been printed ephemera, were produced in Europe during this time. In the New World, of the nearly forty-two thousand items recorded as being printed in British North America from 1639 to 1800, more than nine thousand

are broadsides.55 Yet even this figure is a fraction of the number of broadsides actually produced because the rate of loss for them is much higher than for other types of print. For example, it has been observed of Benjamin Franklin that “in the twenty years during which [he] was sole proprietor of his printing business, he printed at least 228 such small jobs [printed ephemera], of which 201 are lost and known only from his records.”56 The list of Franklin’s imprints is greatly enlarged by the number of blank legal forms he issued, for thousands of which we no longer have a record. They range from indentures for apprentices to bonds, certificates, and checks. Just in the years 1730 to 1735 he printed a total of 16,800 blank forms for his customers at a total price of 112 pounds. C. W. Miller notes that “in the interval between April 12 and May 27, 1754, Franklin and Hall charged members of the visiting London Theatre Company, on twelve different occasions, for a total of 4300 play bills and almost 5000 tickets.”57 Franklin boasted (and his numbers are confi rmed by modern scholars) that he printed “near ten Thousand” of his almanacs annually.58 Franklin often spoke glowingly of the profitability of such work, for not only have ephemeral publications always had a market, but also they were relatively inexpensive to produce, they sold for high prices considering the small input of labor and materials, and, perhaps most important, they were a source of ready money in a business chronically short of cash. It is virtually impossible to overestimate the importance of job printing in the early national period to both its consumers and producers. As Milton W. Hamilton says in his study of turn-of-the-century New York printers, job printing “sometimes represented the difference between success and failure.”59 Today it is hard to identify with certainty what printed ephemera any one nineteenthcentury printing shop produced, partially because printers rarely put their names on such work, partially because much of it no longer exists, but at the very least we can be certain that Lydia produced a vast amount of it. That material consisted of almost every imaginable type of disposable printed matter—the almanacs already mentioned, cards of all sorts, chapbooks, catalogs, blanks (bills, bonds, indentures, certificates, notaries, powers of attorney, protests, writs, blank books, sales slips, deeds), bank checks, song sheets, funeral notices, circulars, memorials, permits, proposals, covers, programs, advertisements, forms, handbills, reports, tracts, tickets, and one-off small leaflets. What distinguishes Bailey and her contemporaries from their predecessors is how much they relied on job printing for their livelihood. Not only was job printing a great asset to the business, for Bailey it was the principal form of income. Five years after her husband died, in 1813, Lydia Bailey printed just four titles longer than 48 pages: Miss Howard’s Married life (approximately 600 pages, 500 copies); Thomas

16

Ruddiman’s The rudiments of the Latin tongue (148 pages, 2,000 copies); Richard Snowden’s The history of North and South America, from its discovery to the death of General Washington (285 pages, 2,750 copies); and Nicolas Wanostrocht’s Recueil choisi de traits historiques et de contes moraux. Troisième édition américaine (288 pages, run unknown). These were all duodecimos, totaling about fifty-five sheets, with an approximate total run of 5,000 copies. At the same time, she printed four almanacs (four sheets each), with runs from 1,500 to 3,000 copies each. She printed twenty-three “packs” of cards, eleven tokens of checks, a ream of waybills, and sixty quires of writs and summonses. All the other single-sheet ephemera that she printed—130 different jobs, including notices, warrants, indentures, circulars, proclamations, permits, bonds, certificates, subpoenas, and bills—totaled more than thirty thousand individual printed items. This rough analysis makes it abundantly clear that Lydia Bailey’s business would not have survived without job printing.

The Trade All the printing Lydia did in 1813 was done for twenty- seven patrons. Nine were book publishers (Mathew Carey, Edward Parker, the Kites, Kimber and Richardson, Kimber and Conrad, T. and W. Bradford, Benjamin Busby, Johnson and Warner, and Samuel Jefferis), seven were municipal employees (including her uncle, John Steele, the collector of the Port of Philadelphia), and eleven were local merchants and companies. When she inherited her husband’s business, she relied heavily on the fi rst group; these, in turn, helped her develop relationships with the second; and the third would eventually become her greatest source of income. Developing successful relationships with local publishers was essential for an urban printing establishment to thrive in the early Republic. Fortunately for Lydia, Philadelphia was a major center of publishing. Leading fi rms, shipping books far and wide throughout the country, created a steady demand for local printers, of which there were an ever-increasing number.60 Lydia was particularly successful at cultivating extremely profitable relationships with many of Philadelphia’s most prominent publishers early in her career. Most of the publishers of the time are represented in her workbooks— Johnson and Warner, Bradford and Inskeep, the Conrads, Bennet and Walton, the DeSilvers, and Kimber and Sharpless. It certainly gave Lydia a leg up to have Francis Bailey as her father-in-law. Within months of Robert’s death, Francis’s hand is evident in a number of Lydia’s endeavors. The most important of these was the publishing of a new edi-

tion of the collected poems of Philip Freneau, the “poet of the American Revolution.” Francis, a close political ally of Freneau’s, had been given the manuscript of Freneau’s poems by the author himself many years earlier and had issued an edition of them in 1788. In 1809, unbeknownst to Freneau, barely a year after Robert’s death, the Baileys began work on another edition. Once Freneau learned of this, he decided to attend to the publication in order to make sure that it was free of the errors that had plagued early editions, agreeing to the republication “for the benefit of, and to assist Mrs. Bailey.” 61 He oversaw the editing and printing and solicited subscriptions for multiple copies from both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. At the same time Lydia took personal initiative in marketing the volumes. She advertised a “Proposal by Lydia R. Bailey, of Philadelphia, for publishing by subscription, an elegant edition of Freneau’s Poems, written chiefly during the American Revolution” in Kline’s Carlisle Weekly Gazette (and probably many other regional papers) from midFebruary to mid-March 1809 (fig. 4). She printed fi fteen hundred copies of the poems and distributed hundreds of them to booksellers both locally and farther afield, some to sell and some on commission, including a large quantity to Philip’s brother, Peter Freneau, in Charleston, South Carolina.62 Carey and Johnson and Warner each subscribed to two hundred copies, the greatest number of any of the subscribers. Lydia embarked on the co-publishing of a New Testament with Johnson and Warner in 1810. This might appear risky, but it was really a case of making good use of an asset she already owned. Around 1788 Francis Bailey had printed the fi rst edition of what is now commonly known as the Bailey Bourgeois New Testament (the imprint reads “Printed by F. Bailey, J. Steele, and J. Bailey; and sold by F. Bailey, Philadelphia, J. Bailey, Lancaster, and J. Steele, at the Printing Office, Octorara”). The type font was probably cast by Francis Bailey and was kept standing for further editions.63 This Bible is thought to be the earliest bound book printed from standing type in America, and the Baileys reissued it at least six times before Lydia came out with her edition. Because the type was already standing, there were no composition or proofreading expenses for this edition, so it made sense for Lydia to try to capitalize on it. Her journal itemizes in detail her fi nancing of the project, from buying the paper and “selling” a majority of the fi nished product to Johnson and Warner to accepting unsold copies back from subsidiaries.64 Printers were largely a thrifty lot and sought all sorts of creative ways to economize. Using standing type was one way. Another was to repurpose unsold sheets from any given edition. In 1812 an entry appears in Lydia’s journal for “printing 16 forms Millers Guide” (both composition and presswork). No 1812 edition of Oliver Evans’s The young mill-wright’s and miller’s guide has ever

been located, so one has to speculate. Francis Bailey had published the previous (second) edition in 1807, but since then Evans had allowed the book to go out of print. A series of letters between Francis Bailey and Mathew Carey in 1811 suggest that Bailey had some unsold sheets left over that he wanted to sell.65 The assumption is that these copies were unsold because they were lacking sheets. Because the 1807 edition contained 112 forms, Lydia could not have been printing the whole book, but she could have been printing enough copies of the missing sheets to make up a few more whole copies of an edition that her father-in-law had paid for the right to print five years earlier. If this is indeed the case, these few copies did not supply the market for long, and in 1818 Carey bought the copyright from Evans, issued a third edition of the title, and then kept it in print for the next eighteen years.66 As is hinted at in previous paragraphs, one of Lydia’s closest and most profitable relationships was with the leading Philadelphia publisher of the time, Mathew Carey.67 Carey was an Irish Catholic newspaper printer whose radical politics forced him to emigrate from Dublin to Philadelphia in 1784. Unsatisfied with the limitations of printing, he soon began to expand his operations. His aspirations drew him toward the potentially more lucrative activities of publishing and distribution of books rather than the mechanical art of printing. As a result, he began employing a number of independent printers in the production of his books by the mid-1790s, among them both Francis and Robert Bailey. (The Baileys were also of Irish heritage, one family among many Scotch-Irish who made Lancaster their home in the eighteenth century.) For many years Francis Bailey was not only Carey’s principal printer but also a close friend. When Robert died, Francis’s daughter-in-law inherited this relationship and then proceeded to cultivate it over the years. At fi rst, Carey relied on Lydia for a wide variety of small jobs: finishing maps; printing almanacs, pamphlets, cata logs, prospectuses, forms, circulars, and wrappers; and stitching a variety of volumes. Over the years such work continued to be a mainstay of their business together, but it was not long before Lydia undertook more and much larger projects for him, particularly books both published and written by Carey. The association eventually generated tens of thousands of dollars in business a year. Lydia by no means monopolized Carey as a customer and shared many of his jobs with other printers in town (a typical practice since the beginnings of the trade), but it is clear that she was a principal source for his printing and that they had a close personal relationship.68 Among the titles printed by Lydia were the two largest books Carey wrote, The olive branch (1814) and Vindiciae Hibernicae (1819). Carey referred to the publishing of these as the most important incidents in his life.69 In recounting the publication of the Vindiciae Hibernicae in his autobiography, Carey mentions Lydia by name, calling her

20

“Mrs. Bailey, my printer.” Lydia subscribed to a copy of Carey’s 1822 Essays in political economy, perhaps because of personal interest as well as out of respect. The high level of their intimate involvement is certainly borne out in Lydia’s workbooks, which detail the many purchases they made from each other at reduced costs, the many short-term notes they extended to each other, and the cash they borrowed from each other (see fig. 5).70 In addition, Carey directed many other printing jobs to her. Not all of those sources can be identified, but they included the Female Hospitable Society, St. Mary’s Church, the Provident Society for the Employment of the Poor, and the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture. Carey was an active, governing member of all these organizations. Lydia printed a number of works by Carey’s close associate, Mason Locke Weems, including the 1816 edition of his Drunkard’s looking glass (1816), which Carey oversaw for Weems while the latter was on the road.71 In 1816 Lydia also printed books published jointly by Carey and Wells and Lilly of Boston; some of these are intriguing examples of her shared printing, for she is known to have printed only the preliminaries of four titles, while the rest of the volumes were executed elsewhere.72 Particularly crucial in her early days was the work she did for another creation of Carey’s, the Philadelphia Company of Booksellers.73 Both Robert

and Francis had close ties with this consortium and the titles they printed were reprinted by Lydia in her fi rst few years of operation. In the February 12, 1810, edition of Relf’s Philadelphia Gazette Lydia registered the (extralegal) copyright her husband had gotten from the company for Mathurin Cordier’s Corderii colloquiorum centuria selecta; the verso of the title page records this copyright as January 31, 1810.74 In her journal she recorded that she sold the Cordier in sheets at a bulk rate of eleven cents per copy. She also printed for the company a series of staple school texts: an Aesop in 1810; Cornelius Nepos’s Vitae excellentium imperatorum in 1810 and 1814; Goldsmith’s Grecian history in 1811; Fénelon’s Aventures de Télémaque and Lindley Murray’s Lecteur François in 1812; Ruddiman’s Rudiments of the Latin tongue in 1813; and Erasmus’s Colloquies in 1818. These she provided to individual members for eighteen to twenty-four cents each (with a 3 percent discount for paying in cash), a markup from the titles she herself was publishing, but still far below retail value. One might imagine that Lydia viewed the many other printers in Philadelphia as “the competition.” In some individual situations this was undoubtedly the case, but in general a cooperative tone existed in exchanges among printers. As mentioned earlier, multiple printers often worked simultaneously on different parts of a work so that a publisher could get it into circulation as quickly as possible. Mathew Carey’s publication of Scott’s novels is a well-recorded example; Lydia printed parts of a number of these.75 She regularly bought supplies from, and sold supplies to, fellow printers Abraham Small, Robert Aitken, David Hogan, Alexander Towar, Anthony Finley, J. R. A. Skerrett, and John Binns (before he became a nemesis in the late 1820s). She even did occasional work for them. No doubt she found it more advantageous to share with her contemporaries than to play games of one-upmanship. Such savvy and doggedness turned a floundering business into a profitable one with remarkable speed. Indeed, Lydia quickly earned a name for herself, winning praise for her abilities from such notable contemporaries as William McCulloch. McCulloch, in his correspondence with Isaiah Thomas (written in response to Thomas’s 1810 History of printing in America), singled her out by saying that she “carried on the printing business with success and reputation.”76

Patronage The surviving workbooks Lydia kept demonstrate that her continued success was achieved through a blend of cautious initiative, an adherence to traditional values and familial ties, and a modern and flexible approach to business. A shift begins to occur in these books in the 1810s that reflects the changes in

22

her business operations. It is clear that not long into her career Lydia was able to capitalize on a newly burgeoning source of income, that of contract printing for municipal and institutional patrons. This printing of blank forms, cards, receipts, handbills, legal documents, bills of lading, committee reports, annual reports, and addresses was perhaps the most crucial element in the long-term viability of her business. Lydia clearly had to compete for contracts and was successful in those competitions. Furthermore, her continued status as an independent master printer, although not unique, does distinguish her from many other printers who became employees of a newspaper, a book publisher, or a Bible society from the 1830s on.77 As has already been pointed out, even though she was organized and strong willed, Lydia relied heavily on those around her to achieve this success. Without the contacts she had because of her birth and marriage, Lydia never would have been able to succeed as a professional businesswoman. Most essential, in 1801 Lydia’s uncle, John Steele, the printer and paper manufacturer, became a member of the Pennsylvania state legislature. In 1802 he was elected to the Pennsylvania Senate as a Democratic Republican. In 1805 he was named Speaker of the Senate.78 In 1809, President Jefferson, in recognition of Steele’s ser vices during the Revolutionary War, appointed Steele the first collector of customs for the Port of Philadelphia. (Steele held this federal post for almost two decades.) Through her uncle’s influence, Lydia quickly secured the contract to print hundreds of blank forms for the port (see fig. 6). In 1813 Steele was elected to the Philadelphia City Council. Lydia’s fortunes continued to follow her uncle’s.79 Upon his election to the council, she was elected city printer.80 She successfully “renegotiated” this contract year after year (despite some bumps along the way, to be elaborated on later) until the mid-1850s.81 This position provided her the contacts needed early in her career to obtain work from a host of municipal bodies: the Sheriff ’s Office, the Registry of Wills, the Select and Common Councils, the Gas Works, and the Watering Committee, as well as various aldermen and prothonotaries. Since the beginnings of printing, printers had seen the government as a rich source of both income and prestige, and Lydia’s position as official printer was no exception. Besides plentiful work, it bestowed on her a certain stature in the community (William Jaggard, printer of the First Folio of Shakespeare, referred to himself as “Printer to the Honourable Cities of London”). This stature, along with the benefit of being a political insider, won her further lucrative contracts with such high-profi le institutions as the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Athenaeum, the University of Pennsylvania, and innumerable railroad, canal, and banking companies.

Her position may seem to have been a sinecure, but competition for patronage can be just as strenuous as competition in a commercial marketplace. Throughout the fi rst half of the nineteenth century, as the two-party system emerged in the United States, partisan politics was emotionally charged on both local and federal levels. In business this meant that a contract made with one organization (no matter how informal) could cause one to lose a contract with an opposing group. This was certainly true for Lydia, who was deeply entrenched in the Jeffersonian-Republican camp through such family and business affi liates as her father-in-law, Carey, and Freneau. A par ticu lar incident from the 1820s makes plain that political patronage was essential to her survival as an urban job printer. At that time Lydia’s family and associates lined up behind Andrew Jackson in his battle for power against President John Quincy Adams. Unfortunately, Lydia’s uncle John Steele died in 1827, when the jockeying for advantage in the following year’s presidential election was intensifying. Adams promptly fi lled the vacant Customs House job with a supporter, who just as promptly gave Lydia’s printing job to a fellow printer, John Binns. Overnight her situation became a cause célèbre. Shamelessly capitalizing on her position as a widow, the Jacksonian press denounced the Adams administration for waging “a war on women” and called attention to the plight of Lydia Bailey as the capable but powerless victim of influential men, an “industrious parent” and “an unresisting woman—too humble in her sphere and her employment to give éclat to those who injured her.”82 “Mrs. Bailey, of this city,” an editor steamed, “was among the first to feel the political civilities of Mr. Adams.”83 At that year’s Jacksonian Fourth of July celebration the injured Lydia was invoked repeatedly.84 Angry voices roasted “the administration who took from the widow and orphan children the printing of the Custom House” and swore, “Disgraced defeat is the result when the widow and the fatherless are sacrificed at the shrine of a parasite’s ambition.”85 (The youngest of Lydia’s “orphan” children was about twenty years old at the time.) Lydia herself said nothing during the controversy.86 She played a conventional role by suffering in silence, but that also was smart politics.87 She scribbled the toasts in one of her workbooks and bided her time. Then, when Jackson won the presidency in 1829, she got the Custom House printing back.88 Lydia assiduously cultivated patrons in the private nonprofit sector as well. One of her most lucrative sources of income was the religious community. By the 1810s institutions such as the American Tract Society were just learning to take advantage of self-publishing, and they both hired their own printers and

contracted with outside printers to get their printing accomplished.89 Lydia was a highly devout Christian whose faith paid off in more ways than one, and unlike the situation in the competitive world of politics, her strong religious affi liations seemed to have stood her in good stead for work with a variety of denominations. Francis Bailey was a leading member of the American Swedenborgian movement, and there is evidence that Lydia and other family members followed him into that church.90 The Swedenborgian community certainly supplied Lydia with considerable trade in her fi rst two decades of work. She did regular printing for her own church, the Third Presbyterian (“Old Pine Street”) Church (fig. 7), as well as for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.91 More lucratively, she held regular contracts with a number of Protestant (including Quaker), Catholic (through Mathew Carey’s auspices), and Jewish charities and scores of tract societies, benevolent organizations, and churches.92 The most prominent and profitable of these contracts were with the Episcopal Female Tract Society of Philadelphia and the evangelical Female Bible Society. The contractual nature of this work is suggested in the annual reports of these organizations, which record that Lydia was paid for the amount of printing she did over the course of a year, not by individual title as completed. These reports also record that Lydia made frequent donations of her work, further securing these congenial relationships. The amount of business Lydia did with other women is remarkable. From the beginning of her career to the very end, her workbooks are fi lled with the names of other women. They were from many walks of life, ranging from schoolteachers and instructors who worked in the home and bought her fi nished maps to female religious and philanthropic societies looking for printers. However, it is difficult to ascertain whether this was due to gender affi nity or simply because women were so prominent in these occupations that intersected with Lydia’s. At the time at which Lydia began her career, there was a thriving community of women teaching in their homes.93 In later years, when she was doing much institutional work, female charities were widespread.94 Lydia’s conservative behavior throughout her life makes it unlikely that she was cultivating clients simply on the basis of gender. Conversely, the political nature of much philanthropic work may well have led other women to seek her out. In any case, the frequency with which women appear in Lydia’s accounts does establish that women, if not quite as visible as their male counterparts in the commercial marketplace, were very much a part of the market economy.

Her Way Although Lydia Bailey probably knew how to set type and pull a press from her days as a printer’s wife, once her husband died, she took on the role of master printer. As the owner of a traditional printing office, she was a combination of manager, director, and parent. She was responsible for the monthly balancing of the books, the daily activities of the press, and the continual care of her employees. As master of a printing office, Lydia also held a highly respectable position in the community and obviously felt bound to uphold her reputation.95 As one of her obituaries related, Lydia “had great energy and decision of character. She was upright and of high religious principle. For seven years before her death she bore composedly the physical weakness brought on by protracted years; but her energy of mind remained in vigor. At this period a large rent was offered for one of her houses by a person who desired to convert it into a drinking-saloon. ‘What!’ she exclaimed with emphasis, ‘rent my property opposite my own church for a tavern! Not if you give me six thousand dollars a year!’ ”96 This was a woman who knew her mind, was used to being in control, had social clout, and was not to be taken lightly. The focus on job and contract printing brought a distinctive set of managerial demands. Unlike those of a book publisher, Lydia’s profits did not depend on her ability to turn over stock. Lydia had no need to build inventory, nor did she cope with the pressures of marketing or storing it. There was no risk of capital or advance production. Job and contract printing was custom work to order, frequently conducted on a cash basis; it depended on an active, regular, and reliable client base, punctual payments, discounts, and donations. Frequent deadlines needed to be met. As Franklin aptly put it, “Punctuality is the life of credit.”97 Promptness, accuracy, and efficiency were paramount. Lydia achieved them with a keen business sense—keeping close watch over her accounts, resources, and employees; obtaining payments at the time of order; swapping; substituting printed goods for unreliable currency (for example, she was sometimes paid in copies that she then sold to people from whom she bought other goods); transacting business in cash whenever possible; paying debts without delay; giving immediate discounts or underselling to customers who promised her more work; and donating work to potentially valuable customers. In a period when the banking industry was still in its infancy and very volatile, she appears not to have borrowed from banks but instead exchanged a multitude of promissory notes with her many business associates. As she wrote to Mathew Carey in 1813, “Mr. Carey will confer a par ticu lar favour by lending me thirty dollars if convenient, I hope to be able to return it this evening.”98

When she inherited Francis’s and Robert’s journal, accounts were being kept in single-entry manner. Once again demonstrating her desire to improve business practices, Lydia immediately shifted to a modified form of the more efficient (but mathematically more complicated) mode of double-entry bookkeeping. Although double- entry had been around for centuries, many early Americans favored the more traditional and simpler form of single-entry. However, the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw a gradual increase in the use of double-entry, promoted in such popu lar texts as George Fisher’s The instructor, or American young man’s best companion (fi rst published in 1748, with more than a dozen reprints by 1813, including multiple reprints by John Bioren in Philadelphia in the early years of the nineteenth century) and Thomas Sarjeant’s Elementary principles of arithmetic (fi rst published in Philadelphia in 1789, with subsequent similar titles). One might even imagine that Lydia was acquainted with these and comparable titles because she struck frequent balances to determine her profits and losses through daily upkeep and notes and reminders to herself and others.99 With regard to her physical plant, her one surviving journal itemizes purchases of supplies for the pressroom (such as ink, paper, furniture, and type) and books she had bound.100 Her sources for these products and ser vices included most of the manufacturers of printing supplies in Philadelphia. Francis Bailey, Binny and Ronaldson, and John Bouvier (for Greek) furnished type. Isaac Mason, James Martin, and Conrad Seyfert were her principal binders. (Intriguingly, there are occasional entries in her journal that debit customers for “binding,” either a reference to her billing people for being an intermediary or an indication that some sort of binding was occurring in her shop.) Ink was bought from Johnson and Warner, Mathew Carey, and Francis Wrigley. Paper was usually supplied by the publisher, although there are miscellaneous entries for material like blue paper (which she bought from Johnson and Warner and probably used in printing covers). There is scant information on how she procured the illustrations for her books (either woodblocks or engraved plates). Although this might suggest the possibility of another, as yet unlocated workbook where she recorded this information, another possible reason for this is that the business of providing illustrations for books was usually conducted directly between publisher and illustrator.101 John Eckstein, who emigrated from Germany around 1795 and made a name for himself as an engraver of medals and sculptor, was a Swedenborgian colleague of Francis Bailey’s and a relative of Lydia’s. Hence it is no surprise to see him providing the distinctive engraved frontispieces for Freneau’s Poems (fig. 8).102 Philadelphia engraver William Ralph illustrated a number of the volumes she produced for Johnson and Warner, but

there are no records of any fi nancial transactions between Ralph and Lydia. The receipt book at the American Antiquarian Society documents a few isolated instances referencing illustrations. Lydia paid an engraver named Jaswell for a number of “metal cuts” in 1808. In 1818 she paid the well-known wood engraver George Gilbert for a cut of “6 ea gles.” In 1822 she paid him for “engraving 8 cuts for key to Pike’s Arithmetic.”103 It appears that she did not own any copperplate presses, because her journal and receipt book record her paying John Bennet for printing the Eckstein plates for Freneau’s poems. With regard to letterpress presses, she inherited her husband’s, but within two years she bought a number of presses from McCoy and Masters (from

whom she also bought miscellaneous letterpress furniture). In 1810 she traded in two old presses, valued at $50.00 each, for two new presses, valued at $130.00 each. The latter were the local handiwork of Adam Ramage, a Scottish joiner who had an established reputation nationwide as an innovative designer of inexpensive and well-constructed wooden presses. Given the number of employees listed in her workbooks (which in the 1820s and 1830s averaged twenty a year), she probably had between four and six presses in operation. This would have made her printing office quite sizable for the time.104 Like other printers before her, Bailey occasionally employed standing type.105 This is first demonstrated in the New Testament she printed in 1810 from Francis’s standing type. Although she did not have access to standing type for the printing of the Cordier copyrighted by Robert, once she had the type set for her 1812 edition, she kept it standing for her 1818 edition. She increased efficiency by using the type that had been set for an almanac (usually the calendar pages, but sometimes the text) for multiple editions issued by a variety of publishers. Once stereotyping was well established in the United States in the mid-1820s, she occasionally printed from plates.106 Lydia observed strict business and social behavior as a protective measure for herself and for those for whom she felt responsible. This was no doubt partially as a result of observing her husband’s notoriously poor business practices and even her father-in-law Francis Bailey’s eventual bankruptcy.107 She stringently upheld these standards despite an apparent lack of formal education, which is reflected not only in the scores of spelling errors in her workbooks but more tellingly in the frequent corrections to those errors. Her workbooks combined household and business expenses, a typical practice for sole proprietors. They include quarterly payments for milk; bakery bills; educational expenses for her children, grandchildren, and employees; and purchases of shoes for apprentices, shirts for her foreman, and hats and riding jackets for her daughters. Her journal includes accounts for supplemental income she received from keeping boarders.108 In fact, her attempts to organize and control finances (and the people involved with those finances) often seemed to irritate both acquaintances and relatives. For instance, for many years she took on the added financial responsibilities of caring for a sibling interned in an asylum for “persons deprived of the use of their reason” and was the executrix of her mother’s estate (fig. 9). She kept a strict account of all her expenses in both capacities and later insisted that her siblings reimburse her, which drew such serious criticism from them that they ended up in arbitration.109 During her many years in business, Lydia Bailey employed a combination of apprentices and journeymen. In both cases she attempted to impose behavioral limits on her twenty or so regular employees as well as on herself, not always

successfully. She appears to have been a caring but very strict employer who demanded respect and required appropriate behavior from subordinates, such as punctuality and regular attendance at church. As part of the apprenticeship system, still very much in evidence though in decline, Lydia was obligated to provide shelter, education, food, and clothing, and her waged employees expected good working conditions and adequate pay.110 By all accounts she rigorously lived up to those terms. One eyewitness recalled in complimentary terms that the “printing office was compactly accommodated in rooms back of the store and dwelling and kept scrupulously clean—the stairs being scrubbed once a week and swept every day. Full price was paid for all work there, and the wages were always ready on Saturday afternoon.”111 As with many masters before her, there was little separation in Lydia’s mind between the supervision of employees (including slaves inherited from her parents) and the rest of her fi nancial and social obligations. This is often reflected in her workbooks, in which she had the habit of scribbling down personal reflections and commenting frequently on the activities surrounding her. For example, in 1810 she jotted down notes concerning a meeting of local journeymen printers held to determine acceptable minimum wages, commenting somewhat smugly that “the journeymen did not succeed in the above turnout.”112 However, at just around the same time she took pains to record that she paid out to her employees “all over $8.00 per week”—$8.00 being the standard wage at the time. This does not sound remarkable, but according to contemporary documents, many shops did not meet these terms.113

Her sense of what she referred to as her “duty” to her household can be seen in a tragic 1829 incident. Lydia’s father, William, in his will of 1822, bequeathed to his wife, Elizabeth, “my two black girls Hailey & Hannah to be at her disposal during the time they respectively have lawful to serve.”114 In 1826 Lydia Bailey inherited from her mother the “ser vice of black girl Hannah Mosby,” who was presumably the same Hannah her mother had inherited from her husband.115 In 1829 Lydia Bailey began to scribble notes next to the name of one of her apprentices, George Hood. There is an oblique reference to Hannah’s “qualification” (completion of the terms of her indentured status) and mention of George’s “commitment to prison.” In November Lydia writes: “Sundry clothing for his [Hood’s] black child when born.” Then “Dec 1, Hannah went to the hospital in the evening, [Dec.] 13, child born & died, Dec. 27 Hannah departed this life 5 evening.”116 George Hood is not heard of again. Although Lydia may have recorded this information to have an accurate account of what happened in case it was needed in the future, the informality of her commentary suggests a close personal, possibly emotional, connection to her extended brood.117 This brood often tested the limits of her patience. She wrote in 1850 of Alex McCormick, “He shall never work in the office again as he went off and left 10 token paper wet down—he is void of principle.”118 Such frustration is echoed repeatedly throughout Bailey’s books. Apprentices in par ticu lar, whose moral behavior she attempted to control through the exercise of economic power, were a frequent object of attention. Most notably, there was the troublesome case of Robert P. King. King served his apprenticeship with Lydia (approximately ten years) and often “stayed out all night” and apparently engaged in “base” and “insulting” conduct with Lydia’s family servants.119 So offensive was King’s behavior that Lydia would not violate “delacasy” [sic] by “particularizing the facts” in her account book, facts that were in any case “well known by every branch of my family.” The furious Lydia determined to withhold his wages, “which I trust may be a solem [sic] warning to him.” The rambunctious King was undaunted; he subsequently sued Lydia for back pay and won his suit. Not to be outdone, Lydia fi led an appeal to Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court and won. The court ruled that the relationship between employer and apprentice, “if not strictly parental, is at least pupillary.” Additionally, in her position of authority, Lydia was by the justices’ accounts responsible for “the preservation of his [an apprentice’s] morals,” and had she not taken disciplinary action against the insubordinate King, “she would, at the same moment, have ceased to be the mistress of her shop.”120 A watershed moment in the history of Lydia’s relationship with her apprentices occurred in 1831. On October 1 Bailey noted that “the above [$2,192.73] is

the amount paid for milk for 25 years, on which day L. B. quit serving milk.”121 The ties that bound together this par ticu lar master and her apprentices were loosening. Lydia Bailey’s one son, William Robert Bailey (1807–1861), grew into the position of foreman and would have been the one to have immediate supervision over the printing operations, leaving Lydia to tasks increasingly remote from the physical plant, such as administration and financial management.122 (Indeed, there would have been no place for Lydia as a woman within the shop’s male fraternity.) One can only speculate why William never took over the business and never married; maybe Lydia’s strength of character played itself out in more ways than those already explored.123 Whatever the reasons, her influence on the population of the subsequent trade was recognized at her death, with one newspaper reflecting that one of her notable achievements was that of “instruct[ing] 42 boys into the mysteries of typography.” Many of these men went on to become leaders of the next generation of Philadelphia bookmen, including the stereotyper John Fagan, numerous members of the Lea, Seyfert, and Orr families, Alexander Baird, and even that rogue-abouttown, Robert P. King.124 It is hard to know how much in actual dollars Lydia’s firm brought in annually, although it is clear that she thrived in her business. She began her career renting property, but the 1850 and 1860 censuses estimate her real estate at $20,000.00, a considerable figure for the time. At the time of her death she also owned numerous properties in Philadelphia, 640 acres of land in Missouri, and a sizable amount of stock in various utilities and railroad companies.125 She successfully weathered two major downturns in the economy (the panics of 1819 and 1837). She was a major contributor to her church.126 Her successes aside, when her son died in 1861, the aging Lydia must have realized that it was time for her to bow out of business and retire at the formidable age of eighty-two. By then her shop was obsolete, with most of her presses probably more than fifty years old. Lydia never took the plunge into the new technology of steam printing. It did not make sense econom ical ly, given the size of her operation and her specialization in job printing. Instead, she maximized the resources she had at hand, taking advantage of her knowledge of and relationships with a traditional industry and seizing new opportunities presented by changes in the printing trade and society as a whole. Her business was rooted in and thrived on the simple, solid production processes of nonautomated machinery and on the labor system that went with it: a dependable, predictable workforce, represented by apprentices and locally trained journeymen, a system of employment that had been put into place generations before her.127 Her approach to business also gradually stopped evolving. She was a keen competitor at the beginning of her career, but having failed to modernize her

printing office, clinging to apprentice-trained labor, and largely dependent on familial associations for work, she was not an effective competitor in the burgeoning printing industry of the mid-nineteenth century and watched her business steadily decline during its last couple of decades.128 By midcentury, printing establishments typically had managers who lived apart from their offices, and whose wives remained in the home, removed from exposure to the clamor of the print shop. Their operations were housed in buildings built for work purposes only, and their employees also lived off the premises and worked fi xed hours. By the end of her days as a master printer, Lydia Bailey was truly a relic of earlier times. In retrospect, depending on one’s perspective, she represents the last gasp of the outmoded tradition of the “useful” widow printer or a modern model of the brave and resourceful single mother who provided both herself and her family with quite comfortable lives for most of the nineteenth century.129 In any case, there is no doubt that Lydia Bailey was indeed an impressive mistress of her situation.

notes 1. Anyone who looks at Lydia Bailey’s name long enough will naturally ask two questions. One is whether she bears any relation to Kenneth Roberts’s 1947 historical romance of the same name. Roberts was known for the research that he put into his novels and also published the journals of a well-known Frenchman, Méderic Louis Élie Moreau de Saint- Méry, who traveled through eighteenth- century Philadelphia. There is no doubt in my mind that he came across the real Lydia Bailey’s name in the course of his research and thought that it suited the Philadelphia-born, demure, and beautiful object of his hero’s love. That is where the connection ends. The second question is what the “R” in Lydia R. Bailey stands for. Although the romantic in me likes to imagine a young widow adopting it to memorialize her dear dead husband, the realist in me has some doubts about that. If anyone out there knows, please tell me. 2. The leading cities, in order, were Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Charleston, and Baltimore. For the best overview, see Robert A. Gross and Mary Kelley, eds., A History of the Book in America, vol. 2, An Extensive Republic: Print, Culture, and Society in the New Nation, 1790–1840 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2010) (hereafter cited as Gross and Kelley, Extensive Republic). For two specific studies, see Rosalind Remer, Printers and Men of Capital: Philadelphia Book Publishers in the New Republic (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1996); and Michael Hackenberg, ed., Getting the Books Out: Papers of the Chicago Conference on the Book in Nineteenth-Century America (Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 1987). The circumstances leading up to the period under discussion are discussed in depth in Hugh Amory and David D. Hall, eds., A History of the Book in America, vol. 1, The Colonial Book in the Atlantic World ([Worcester, Mass.]: American Antiquarian Society; Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 2000) (hereafter cited as Hugh and Amory, Colonial Book in the Atlantic World). 3. One notable exception was Isaiah Thomas’s operations, which, in the 1790s, claimed twelve presses in his Worcester printing office alone. 4. What information exists on Bailey’s ancestry is scattered. Some genealogical material is at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (hereafter HSP) and the Lancaster Historical Society.

Contrary to popu lar belief, women indeed entered the printing trade occasionally as apprentices. For examples of this, see D. F. McKenzie, ed., Stationers’ Company Apprentices, 1701–1800 (Oxford: Oxford Bibliographical Society, 1978). 5. She was the fi rst of seven children, the last of whom was born in 1798. 6. W. A.

(Worcester, Mass.: American Antiquarian Society and Barre Publishers, 1969), for the Carrs’ printing activities. 7. Another of the senior William Steele’s sons, Archibald (1741–1832), became a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War; James (1760?–1840?) served in the War of 1812. No consensus seems to have been reached on whether the name should be spelled with or without the fi nal e, and the family used both forms; a majority spelled it “Steele.” See Thomas L. Gravell, American Watermarks, 1690–1835, 2nd ed. (New Castle, Del.: Oak Knoll, 2002), for the Steeles’ papermaking activities; John Bidwell, who is currently involved in creating a census of known mills in this area, estimates that there were about thirty mills active in the 1780s and double that number in the 1790s. 8. The HSP (Society Collection) holds five letters that William Steele penned to his wife while serving in the war in New Jersey and New York from the summer of 1776 to the fall of 1777; two were printed in PMHB 39 (1915): 235–36. William Steele’s will is held by the Southern Lancaster County Historical Society; a copy can be found at http://ftp.rootsweb.com /pub/usgenweb/pa/lancaster/wills/stee0001.txt. 9. Much has already been written on the Bailey family. Among the best sources are the DAB entries for both Francis and Lydia, various entries in PMHB, and “William McCulloch’s Additions to Thomas’s History of Printing,” Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s., 31, pt. 1 (April 1921): 89–247. Also invaluable are Shipton and Mooney, National Index of American Imprints Through 1800, and the HSP’s manuscript cata log. 10. Not only did Elizabeth marry William, but her sister, Abigail, married William’s brother, John, and her other sister, Rachel, married a third Bailey brother, Jacob. The story is related by Susan C. Frazer in “General John Steele,” Journal of the Lancaster Historical Society 25, no. 8 (1921): 20–23. Unfortunately, a search for the original document has so far been fruitless; even if the story is apocryphal, it evokes a portrait of a woman both ingenious and of tough mettle. 11. See William F. Steirer, “Francis Bailey,” American National Biography, for a brief biography and a list of sources. 12. A co-partnership was fi rst established on June 14, 1795. See Robert Bailey’s Letter Book at the HSP (Am 9066). 13.

Lisa Wilson, in Life After Death: Widows in Pennsylvania, 1750–1850 (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1992), points out that “a married couple formed an economic unit, and both partners worked to promote its fi nancial well-being,” and that in par ticu lar in the middle classes, many women maintained an “intimate business relationship of marriage partners,” and “men often trusted their wives’ economic skills and . . . women deserved this confidence” (113).

Leo Lemay and P. M. Zall (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1981), 96. A number of reference sources have mistakenly concluded that the “branch of education” referred to was printing, a misunderstanding perpetrated as recently as 2006 in Ralph Frasca, Benjamin Franklin’s Printing Network (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2006), 75. 20. Much recent research has disputed the notion that separate spheres (“public” versus “private”) distinguished the economic contributions of women in society. As Margaret R. Hunt makes clear in The Middling Sort: Commerce, Gender, and the Family in England, 1680–1780 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996), women’s work—that of young, unmarried women, wives, and widows—had far-reaching and decisive influences on market economies of the eighteenth century, whether that work was maintaining family structures that allowed male family members to partake of more visible market activities or performing such supportive activities as raising livestock, textile production, or readying products of a variety of sorts for the marketplace. Bailey grew up in a generation that inherited these economic patterns. 21. For the status of credit and credit networks, see Jennifer J. Baker, Securing the Commonwealth: Debt, Speculation, and Writing in the Making of Early America (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005). 22. Robert Bailey to Francis Bailey, Letter Book, 8. Given the history of alcoholism within the printing trade, it would come as no surprise if his recollection was a bit blurry from drink. This would bolster the claims of many contemporary commentators, Franklin included, that the sobriety and industriousness of women were to be highly cherished in more ways than one. 23. The partnership between Robert and Francis (which had floundered off and on for years, no doubt in part due to Robert’s erratic behavior) had been dissolved before Robert’s death; it is not known whether Robert Bailey left a will. Speculation in some corners suggests that Robert may have died from typhoid fever; although this is yet to be proved, it is a distinct possibility. 24. “Mrs. Lydia R. Bailey, the printer,” Typographic Advertiser 6, no. 3 (1869): 1–2. 25. This is not to suggest that none of her predecessors had long careers. A few of them had very lengthy careers indeed. One of the earliest examples is Yolande Bonhomme, widow of Thieleman Kerver, who ran an active press from 1522 to 1556. For English examples, see C. J. Mitchell, “Women in the Eighteenth- Century Book Trades,” in Writers, Books, and Trade: An Eighteenth- Century English Miscellany for William B. Todd, ed. O. M. Brack Jr. (New York: AMS Press, 1994), 25– 75. 26. Hunt, Middling Sort, 125–46. As Hunt points out, younger, unmarried women contributed to the economic well-being of the households to which they belonged through a number of employments but were unable to achieve any fi nancial autonomy through that employment; only widowhood allowed them such autonomy. Hunt and other historians also point out that only certain employments were considered suitable for women, and those for young, unmarried women were different from those for spinsters and widows. In “Women in the Workplace: Rural New England in the Early 19th Century” (Old Sturbridge Village Research Paper, 1982), Jack Larkin maps out these employments in precise statistical terms.

Hoff concludes from legal documentary evidence that widows’ rights actually diminished as a result of the codification of law that occurred after the American Revolution; Bailey’s experience suggests that although the laws may have become more restrictive, in certain cases widows were still able to exercise a fair amount of autonomy.

There are additional books that supplement these, such as the cash book, the bill book, the invoice book, and the sales book. I have chosen to apply the simple defi nitions used by Remer, Printers and Men of Capital, 101–2; related business correspondence is to be found in the Carey accounts split between the HSP and the AAS. 40. See Hunt, Middling Sort, 10, where she discusses the difficulties in the interpretation of diaries and court records. 41. Under common-law dower rights, Lydia Bailey would have been entitled to at least a third of her husband’s real property; however, Pennsylvania’s laws required the paying off of debts before a widow could claim any share of the estate. See Marylynn Salmon, Women and the Law of Property in Early America (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1986), 9, 145, 160, 163– 68; Hoff, Law, Gender, and Injustice, 106; Joan Hoff, “American Women and the Lingering Implications of Coverture,” Social Science Journal 44, no. 1 (2007): 41–55. 42. Lydia Bailey, Map Memoranda Book (HSP, Am 9065, vol. 4). Bailey borrowed at least some of the money she needed to pay off the debts from Mathew Carey. 43. It also was a practice that continued well into the twentieth century; to cite just one example, the United States’ Works Progress Administration employed women as map colorists during its active years, 1935 to 1943. 44. Alice Hudson and Mary McMichael Ritzlin, “Preliminary Checklist of Pre-TwentiethCentury Women in Cartography,” Cartographica 37, no. 3 (2000): 3–24, provide an overview of the literature, referencing most of the scholarship on the subject. 45.

Final numbers in this account book demonstrate that by 1831 she was annually making thousands of dollars in this business alone. 47. Deborah Franklin exemplifies a wife who assisted her husband (both when he was in Philadelphia and abroad) not only by “folding and stitching pamphlets, tending shop, [and] purchasing old Linen Rags for the Paper-makers, etc. etc.,” but also in operating a general store, where she sold soaps, a variety of foodstuffs, tea and coffee, feathers, clothing, medicines, stoves, and all the expected stationery and printed material.

See also Patricia Cleary, “ ‘She Will Be in the Shop’: Women’s Sphere of Trade in Eighteenth- Century Philadelphia and New York,” PMHB 99, no. 3 (1995): 181–200. A contrasting view is provided by Larkin, “Women in the Workplace,” who sees less evidence of women being involved in the public side of trade in rural New England. 48. Bailey bought dozens of almanacs (both English and German) and stationery in bulk from Johnson & Warner, Mathew Carey, and others from the start; however, this practice dwindled around 1815, likely a result of Francis Bailey’s ailing health and death in 1817. Her shop is advertised in occasional later publications printed by Bailey, where references can be found to “Mrs. Bailey’s Store, No. 26 North Fifth Street.” There is also evidence in contemporary newspapers that she additionally acted as official stationer to the city; see Hazard’s register of Pennsylvania (1833), 249. 49. Charles Sellers, The Market Revolution (New York: Oxford University Press, 1991), 110. The changes in American urban printing, as exemplified by Bailey’s experience, echoed the development of the English book trade in the eighteenth century. See James Raven, “The Book Trades,” in Books and Their Readers in Eighteenth-Century England: New Essays, ed. Isobel Rivers (London and New York: Leicester University Press, 2001), 1–34. During the span of Bailey’s career, additional advances were made that encouraged such divisions in manufacturing. These included the creation of the fi rst iron, rotary, and steam presses; the popularization of stereotyping and electrotyping; the invention of the fi rst papermaking machines; the widespread use of lithography; the development of publisher’s cloth and the technique of

Edmund Poole, Annals of Printing: A Chronological Encyclopaedia from the Earliest Times to 1950 (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1966). 50.

Rollo Silver, in The American Printer, 1787–1825 (Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1967), notes that as fast as Philadelphia grew during the early Republic, it could not keep up with New York: “For Philadelphia, the rate of increase in the approximate numbers of printers was not as rapid as that of New York: 53 in 1791, 81 in 1800, 168 in 1810, and 207 in 1820” (142). James Robinson’s Philadelphia directory for 1807: Containing the names, trades, and residence of the inhabitants of the city, Southwark, and Northern Liberties (Philadelphia, [1807]) lists 97 printers.

One particularly vexing problem involved a misunderstanding about how many copies Thomas Jefferson subscribed to. Despite difficulties, Freneau and Lydia Bailey remained friends. In later years she reflected that Freneau was a “small man . . . very gentlemanlike in his manners, very entertaining in his conversation, and withal a great favorite with the ladies”; Rufus W. Griswold, “Philip Freneau: The poet of the American Revolution,” Graham’s Magazine 47 (September 1855): 197. 62. Noticeably missing from her books is any accounting of the printing of this title.

Subsequent to Lydia’s printing, Mathew Carey bought the type from Francis Bailey, recorded in a bill of sale dated April 10, 1811, held at the American Antiquarian Society, “One testament standing in Chases with Rack and letter boards @ $800.” In 1812 and 1813 he issued his own editions.

Cordier’s book was fi rst printed by Robert in 1804; it was fi rst printed by Lydia in 1810 and reprinted in 1812 and 1818. The 1793 constitution of the Philadelphia Company of Printers and Booksellers (of which both Francis and Robert Bailey were members) stated that “the copy-rights of any books which have been printed by any of the members of this company, before the adoption of this constitution, shall be vested in the printers of them, their heirs, or assigns, respectively . . . [and that] . . . the earliest claimant of any book, not already printed by the company, nor by any member thereof, shall be invested with the copy-right, which right shall descend to the heirs, or assigns, of the holder”; Philadelphia Company of Printers and Booksellers, Constitution and proceedings (Philadelphia: Daniel Humphries, 1793), 5. 75.

Concern. See Michael Winship, “Manufacturing and Book Production,” and Paul C. Gutjahr, “Diversification in American Religious Publishing,” in Scott E. Casper, Jeffery D. Groves, Stephen W. Nissenbaum, and Michael Winship, eds., A History of the Book in America, vol. 3, The Industrial Book, 1840–1880 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2007), 58–59 and 195–203. 78. Steele had gotten some of his earliest printing jobs, in the 1780s, through his association with Francis Bailey, who by that time was already a well-known figure in the trade and local politics. The position of Speaker of the Senate was replaced by that of president pro tempore in the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1874. 79. Francis Bailey wrote from Octorara to Mathew Carey in August 1808 asking Carey to put in a good word for his daughter-in-law with the Collector’s Office; how effective this petition was is questionable because Carey replied, “I am sorry I cannot comply with your request respecting the application to John Steele. There is an unbendingness in my nature, that precludes me from obliging Myself on persons with whom I have had a difference, & of whose reception I may be in doubt” (Lea and Febiger Records, HSP). Neither Carey nor Francis Bailey got along well with the Steeles, and this suggests that Lydia was here benefiting not because she had married into the Bailey family, but because she was born a Steele. She was not the only beneficiary of her uncle’s; Steele’s brother, Archibald, became Philadelphia’s inspector of customs, and his son, John Steele Jr., became weighmaster of the port. 80. Other printers worked for the city during this time, although the amount of printing they were doing was considerably less than Lydia’s. See Statement of the expenditures of the city commissioners, for the year 1833 (Philadelphia: Bailey, 1834), showing that Bailey was paid $1,290.92 for her work, while other printers were collectively paid far less. It needs noting that Bailey was not the fi rst woman elected to the post. She was briefly preceded by contemporaries, Jane Aitken (1810) and Ann Cochran (1812). Both of these women printed much the same sorts of material as Bailey (almanacs, tracts, children’s books, and religious material) for many of the same publishers (Carey, Johnson & Warner, and the Presbyterian Church). However, neither had the long-term success that Bailey achieved. Additionally, Mary Katherine Goddard, another widow, was a Philadelphia printer from 1772 to 1774; she also served as postmaster (by Bailey’s time that office had been separated from that of city printer). 81. For instance, in 1832 she lobbied by offering discounts to Collector James N. Barker (“I will furnish your printing & stationery on as reasonable terms as any other who calculates on paying for paper, printing, Binding, Etc.”) and claimed that other printers in town could not provide the same discounts on blank-book, marbling, and ruling orders. Lydia R. Bailey to James N. Barker, April 3, 1832, Arthur C. Bining Collection, HSP. 82. This reference to the plight of the widow with an impoverished brood has precedents too numerable to mention. In regard to the printer widow alone, one encounters it frequently. Elizabeth Timothée urged her late husband’s subscribers to continue “their Favours and good offices to his poor affl icted Widow and six small Children” (South-Carolina Gazette, January 4, 1739). Even earlier, Elizabeth Alkin, a seventeenth-century publisher and spy (who, interestingly, at one point in her career acted as an in for mant for the English government in searching out illegal presses), referred in a petition to the state for protection to herself as a beleaguered widowed “poor petitioner” with “many Fatherless Children” to support. She used this refrain repeatedly throughout her life; see Marcus Neavitt, Women and the Pamphlet Culture of Revolutionary England, 1640–1660 (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006), 85–119. Anne Dodd, a mercury in eighteenth- century London, defended her actions relating to the publication of various scurrilous and libelous publications when writing to the Duke of Newcastle by claiming that “I have been left an Affl icted widow with a Large Young Family some years, whose only support has been that of selling newspapers, which, with as much pains as my own Ill state of Health would Admit of has by the Assistance of Heaven, just enabled me to Feed my self and helpless children. . . . Your Grace’s known Character is To Do Good, and To Shew Mercy, and where can that Goodness, and that Mercy, be Better Shewn, than by Helping the Fatherless and Widow?”; Anne Dodd to the Duke of Newcastle, London, May 26, 1731, Public

It is a sign of the diminishing role of women in the public sphere that Dodd spoke up for herself, but that in the early American Republic it was the men who did all the talking. See both Wulf, Not All Wives, and Hoff, Law, Gender, and Injustice. 83. American Sentinel, June 29, 1827. 84.

Philadelphia Gazette, July 5, 1827. 86. For much of the eighteenth century, propriety equated private (family) order with public (political) virtue; this continued to hold true throughout the early decades of the nineteenth century. See Hunt, Middling Sort, and John F. Marszalek, Petticoat Affair: Manners, Mutiny, and Sex in Andrew Jackson’s White House (New York: Free Press, 1997). Bailey, as traditional as she was, would have observed such proprieties. 87. As Jean R. Soderland summarized in “Women in Eighteenth- Century Pennsylvania: Toward a Model of Diversity,” PMHB 115 (1991): 173, “The role of republican mother kept women outside the center of power,” and although “women remained on the periphery of the political community,” there remained “the centrality of the image of republican motherhood in republican ideology” (emphasis in the original). 88. The announcement of her reappointment appeared in sympathetic newspapers as distant as the Rhode Island American, vol. 67, no. 26, p. 2 (March 31, 1829), and the Eastern Argus (Portland, Maine), vol. 24, no. 1365, p. 3 (March 31, 1829). 89.

Both Francis Bailey and John Steele were elders in the Third Presbyterian Church; Lydia Bailey took Communion there on November 23, 1815 (at the age of thirty- six). 92. One Catholic patron was Bernard Dornin, the earliest American bookseller to focus almost solely on the production and distribution of Catholic material. See David Kaser, “Bernard Dornin, America’s First Catholic Bookseller,” in Books in America’s Past: Essays Honoring Rudolph H. Gjelsness (Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1966), 106–28. Carey did much to help him in his business efforts from the time of his emigration from Ireland in 1802 through his fi nal years as a bookseller in Philadelphia, where he lived just a few doors from Carey. Dornin employed Bailey for most of his Philadelphia printing; Kaser asserts that this was because Bailey’s “workmanship met high standards,” but it is likely that Bailey’s close physical and economic proximity to Carey played as much of a part. 93.

For example, Jane R.

The U.S decline however, is more difficult to gage [sic] because informal apprenticeship arrangements that were not officially recorded appear to have risen. In key respects issues pertaining to the master’s authority remained an unresolved complication preventing a uniform apprenticeship system and encouraging informal apprenticeship arrangements into the period well after slavery was abolished.” 111. “Mrs. Lydia R.

demonstrate that it was a regular struggle for printers to be paid what they considered to be acceptable wages.

Before William Bailey’s ascendency to the position, Bailey employed for many years the highly respected William Blair, who had apprenticed with the prominent Philadelphia printer and publisher Robert Aitken and had previously worked as a foreman to Aitken’s daughter, Jane. See Printer’s Circular 3 (1868): 327. 123. In Life After Death, Wilson provides four early republican examples of sons of widows who never married (Benjamin Chew, James Craig, Algernon Logan, and Isaac Norris). She comments, “The intimacy and interdependence of a widow and her adult son seems occasionally to have prevented such a child from starting his own family” (165). 124. The 42 “boys” referred to her apprentices; her accounts show that from 1808 to 1855 she employed 167 men in all. After serving his apprenticeship, John Fagan bought Jedediah Howe’s business in 1834; Alexander Baird and Robert King entered into a highly successful partnership in 1838.

Surprisingly, there once existed a letter of administration on Bailey’s estate, indicating that she may have died without a will. This letter of administration can no longer be located in the Philadelphia City Archives. 126. Subsequent to receiving Communion in 1815, she contributed annually more than $500 to various funds and rented a prominent pew at the front of the church. In 1868 (one year before her death) she suggested to the president and board of trustees that the church needed a parsonage and contributed $1,000 to initiate the process of buying the needed property; the parson did not take up residence in the new building until May 1876. See the Presbyterian Historical Society, Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., Trustees Minutes, 408ff. In recognition of her dedication, a stained-glass window was erected to her in the main chapel; it remains intact. The family plot lies in the Old Pine Street churchyard. 127. Bruce Laurie, Artisans into Workers: Labor in Nineteenth- Century America (New York: Hill and Wang, 1989), 40, discusses the demographic changes that were taking place at the time that resulted in a more market-based economy. People, particularly young men, flocked from rural areas looking for opportunities in more urbanized settings; these journeymen were paid wages rather than provided with a home. Divisions of labor and automated machinery (the “sweating system”) were developed to increase efficiency in a time where “no one survived without understanding rivals and economizing at every turn.” 128. The 1860 census counted 1,666 printing establishments active in the United States. 129. A street named Bailey Street in Northwest Philadelphia is said to have been named for her in recognition of her accomplishments; Robert I. Alotta, Street Names of Philadelphia (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1975), 18. I have not been able to verify this assertion.

Checklist of Lydia Bailey Imprints

Methodology Certain elements have been purposely omitted from the checklist. After much deliberation I decided not to include a detailed transcription of the transactions listed in Bailey’s journal for items found therein. This is intended as a checklist of the output of her shop, not as an opportunity for a study of the ways in which these items were manufactured. I, perhaps more than anyone else, desire that such an examination be undertaken, but I decided that the checklist was not the place. I hope instead that it is perceived and used as a first step toward such historical inquiry. I have tried to include format (or at least the height) whenever possible. However, because some of my descriptions are based on the Readex microform copy (now available online through their Early American Imprints series), providing this information was not always possible. Other imprints that I identified remotely via online cata logs or correspondence lack that information because of similar physical constraints. A majority of Bailey’s output belongs to a period when providing information about the format and gathering of an item can be beside the point (most of the material is not bibliographically complex, and much of it was worked off a single sheet) or, worse, has the potential to be misleading (most of her imprints are on wove paper; during the period under consideration, stereotyping became a norm). In order to give a sense of the quantity of material she was printing annually, I have included pagination statements for multivolume works (or for the volumes for which she was responsible) when possible. In the case of shared printing this is often impossible to establish; in these cases I chose to give a pagination statement that coincides with the citation, making additional notes to describe what Bailey printed if known. This is not a comprehensive checklist. Given the ephemeral nature of a great deal of the material, such a bibliography is not possible. Much of what Bailey printed certainly no longer exists. Many items appeared without her imprint and are consequently unidentifi able. In addition, only comparatively recently have historians begun to take a close look at the imprints of the mid- to late nineteenth century, and library cata logs that index the figures involved in the

creation of this material are rare, so it is extremely difficult to track down the works of single printers. There are gaps in runs of reports and almanacs printed by Bailey because historically these have been cataloged as serials; this has sometimes made it challenging to locate individual years, though surely she printed entire runs. Conversely, numerous titles appear in her journal that I could not pin down as identifiable imprints (see the appendixes). I expect that a vast majority of her identifiable imprints appear here, but I am quite aware that there will be additions to the checklist in the future. I have cited Hudak when there is an entry in her bibliography; I have not included the statement “not in Hudak” for all the others. The same applies for Checklist Amer. Imprints, as well as par ticular subject bibliographies for later material. However, I do mention when an imprint is not in those lists with more comprehensive coverage, such as Shaw and Shoemaker, Shoemaker, and subject bibliographies that cover earlier imprints. This is a checklist of copies examined, not of all copies known; one copy was sufficient for identification purposes in most cases; multiple copies were looked at when needed to distinguish variants.

Format Entries are listed chronologically by year of imprint and alphabetically by main entry (normalized) within each year. When an attribution to an anonymous work is certain or almost certain, the main entry appears in brackets; less certain attributions are mentioned in notes. The entries consist of a main entry, title, and imprint; a brief pagination statement, including an indication whether an item was illustrated or contained plates and either format or height when known; citations for a limited number of bibliographies; miscellaneous notes; and the location of copies seen. Journal folios are cited when available. Journal entries are occasionally annotated with a note when the person billed is not the same as the person listed in the published imprint or when the printing details are particularly complicated. Title-page transcriptions are shortened where possible; sentence-style capitalization is used following The Chicago Manual of Style, sixteenth edition (8.156), but spelling (and misspelling) is retained. For this reason, certain names will be found in variant forms (most noticeably “Bennet” and “Bennett”; “DeSilver” and “Desilver”— both forms appear in contemporary city directories). I did not make a new entry for separate states of a work in which the publishers’ names appear in varying orders. However, multiple states of a work are listed separately when the names of the publishers are different.

notes: Bailey printed the covers only. The imprint and date come from the printed covers. The book is entirely engraved, and the imprint of the engraved title page reads “Benjamin Warner, 1821.” Given Bailey’s 1812 entry in her journal, this date is likely an engraving error; in addition, multiple copies exist with no title page and the printed covers alone, suggesting that the erroneous title page was systematically removed.

Appendix 1

Unlocated Imprints The preceding checklist includes only Bailey imprints that could be identified with certainty. Her journal (which goes up only to about 1820) contains entries for a vast number of printing jobs for which material is no longer extant or cannot be identified beyond a doubt. For example, in the fi rst year of printing, although nine imprints are listed in the checklist, her journal lists almost fi fty; in 1818 I have listed twenty- seven imprints, but the journal suggests that she printed more than one hundred items. A majority of these items are bits of ephemera— cards, bills, blank forms, battledores, certificates, handbills, cata logs, proposals— and are beyond identifying. Other entries scattered throughout her workbooks provide tantalizing clues that cannot be traced to a par ticu lar imprint. Bailey records numerous titles under printers’ names in her employee book that are so vague that they may never be identified. For instance, in 1854, under her foreman’s name she records a “Christian Friend” and “Bingham’s Tracts”— the latter may be all or part of an unknown edition of Caleb Bingham’s Columbian orator; the former has far too many candidates to choose from. Could the 1854 “Hebrew questions, Hebrew catechism” refer to an unknown printing of Simha C. Peixotto’s Elementary introduction to the scriptures, for the use of children? Time may or may not tell. Yet there are a few entries that are a little less ambiguous, even if correlating existing imprints have not been located. What follows is a list of items for which certain bibliographic details could be ascertained, although the precise imprint is still in question. This list does not include missing issues from runs of serials—I accounted for these in the notes field in the checklist. The numbers following the names of the publisher refer to the folio number in Bailey’s journal; brackets are supplied. I have transcribed Bailey’s entries, omitting the bookkeeper’s layout.

The Lea and Febiger Records at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania contain a number of letters between Francis Bailey and Mathew Carey on this title. From that correspondence it appears that Bailey was intending to issue another edition of Evans’s work in 1812, and Lydia Bailey was employed to print sheets to fi ll out the sheets left over from the 1807 printing. That 1812 edition never appeared, and instead, in 1812 we see Francis Bailey trying to pay off some of his debts to Carey with the printed sheets. (In a letter in the Lea and Febiger Records, HSP, Oct. 24, 1811, Bailey offers Carey the Millwright’s guide to pay off his debts; one assumes that he is talking about sheets here.)

Appendix 2

Bailey’s Journal As is evidenced by the list of unlocated imprints in appendix 1, abundant information about Bailey and her operations can be uncovered in a close examination of her few extant workbooks. The following analysis of a single open-book spread from one of these books reveals some of their potential. This par ticu lar workbook documents a near-contemporary account of her business exchanges arranged by client; the work her shop did for her clients appears on the left-hand side, while the goods received from her clients appear on the right (see fig. 10). The entries are arranged in a loose chronological order, often in groups, suggesting that these accounts attempted to be entire summaries for a given period of time, sometimes a day, sometimes a week, sometimes longer, depending on the quantity of work. Emendations and annotations are scattered throughout the entries, some with added commentary; one entry is crossed off “in a mistake,” and she circles two entries that she wants to “transpose.” This demonstrates that these accounts are both somewhat reflective in nature and an attempt at a thoughtful and accurate accounting, falling under the category of “journal,” most likely culled from a “waste” or “day” book and succeeded by a “ledger.” This spread shows the work that she was engaged in with the fi rm of Johnson & Warner between October 1809 and February 1810. Jacob Johnson and Benjamin Warner, each of whom had flourishing businesses independent of the other (Warner as a Quaker merchant and bookseller and Johnson as a printer, inkmaker, and bookseller), were leading publishers of textbooks and children’s books throughout the first quarter of the nineteenth century and had a number of printers they called on to print their works.1 At the top of each column is an amount brought forward from a previous entry (in this case on folio 20). Some of the work she performs for individual clients spans decades and, consequently, many folios; others are single entries with no further exchanges recorded. Here she does not calculate totals at the bottom of each column, nor does she balance her charges with her expenditures; this again is something she does with some inconsistency (the entries for Johnson & Warner continue on folio 38). The figures that are brought over in this case are significant because of their size ($562.52 in credit and $531.351⁄2 in

Fig. 10 Lydia Bailey, Journal (HSP, Am 9065, vol. 1, 26) debt). Bailey’s first entry for Johnson & Warner was in March 1808 (immediately following her husband’s death); that the totals have reached such levels in a year and half indicates that she and Johnson & Warner were engaged in a high level of activity together. In fact, a comparison with other clients recorded in her journal and listed in the checklist of identifiable imprints makes it abundantly evident that Johnson & Warner was her primary customer at the outset of her career.2 In setting her entries for 1808 to 1810 against the known Johnson & Warner imprints for this period, it would not be an overstatement to estimate that she was doing a third of its printing during these three years.3 Bailey is at this moment busy printing a variety of material for Johnson & Warner, much of it of an ephemeral nature. Although she is printing just one book, Ruddiman’s Rudiments of the Latin tongue, she records printing five smaller items, a bill of lading, an almanac, a children’s chapbook, and two cata logs. This ratio is not atypical; the number of jobs she has at any given time for the printing of ephemera not surprisingly far outweighs the number of jobs she has for printing books.4 During this period Bailey is also busy printing for others. On other folios her journal records the steady stream of certificates she is printing for the Port

Appendix 2

of Philadelphia (courtesy of her uncle, John Steele, the collector of the port); the many small jobs of cards, notices, and bills she is working on for multiple clients; and the numerous almanacs being printed for the local booksellers. In October 1809 she records printing one thousand copies of a sizable book, Zion’s pilgrim, for James Martin (when it was published, this duodecimo totaled 184 pages). More significantly, this is precisely the time at which she is printing and co-publishing the two-volume third edition of Freneau’s poems (280, iv p.; 302, xii p.). How much she is charging and why is both the most intriguing and the most confusing element in her journals. The standard for composition at the time is .45 for 1,000 ems; she follows this standard for most of her regular clients, though not entirely consistently.5 When the work is more complicated, she feels justified in charging more, as she does with the Latin textbook, at .60 for 1,000 ems. For some clients, she feels that she can charge more—James Martin, for instance, is charged .50 per em for Zion’s pilgrim; others receive discounts. Alterations and corrections to type already set, as can be seen under the entries for Feb. 19 and 26 (and which are common throughout the journal), are often double the price. But more is going on than just printing. On this par ticular spread, she is also marketing goods, an activity that persists throughout her journal. In this instance, throughout November (in anticipation of the new year), she is selling almanacs in bulk; although the going rate being charged wholesale to booksellers is 2 shillings per dozen, others outside the trade (for instance, general merchants) are charged anywhere from 4 to 6 shillings a dozen. On the right side of the spread are listed Johnson & Warner’s payments, totaling a dollar figure of $304.95. Of the thirty-two line items, she is paid in cash only twelve times, and rarely the exact amount for a given job; the regular, rounded payments add up to $185.00 in this par ticular period. One payment is actually from another debtor of Johnson & Warner’s, John McCalla; exchanging notes was a common practice at the time.6 Other payments are made in books (here, German almanacs and primers), no doubt for resale, and keg and powder ink for her shop. She is also getting payment for items that were for personal use; the single copies of Introduction to the English tongue and the Tutor’s assistant fall into this category. Not surprisingly, a substantial amount of the debt is paid off in paper, which Bailey is using for printing Johnson & Warner’s titles, keeping accounts, and personal use.7 Of the $304.95 recorded in the six-month period shown here, $78.37 is paid in paper, just about a quarter of Johnson & Warner’s debt.8 All of this demonstrates the complex nature of mercantile exchange in the early nineteenth century. Exchange of goods remained a strong element in

Appendix 2

doing business. Notes of exchange and debt were a common form of payment. Cash was distributed as needed rather than by job. Bailey was one of more than one hundred letterpress printers in Philadelphia in 1810.9 What can be learned by looking just at her workbook gives a sense of the tremendous levels of activity printers of the early Republic were engaged in just before the War of 1812.

notes 1. Other printers known to have done work for Johnson & Warner during this period were William M’Culloch, John Adams, and John Bouvier. 2. Only seven imprints listed in the checklist for the years 1808 to 1810 were not done for Johnson & Warner. 3. Bailey printed fourteen identifiable imprints for Johnson & Warner (listed in the checklist; many more jobs, such as the printing of wrappers, cards, and small parts of books, are listed in the journal); the online cata log at the American Antiquarian Society provides a total of fi fty- six Johnson & Warner imprints. Given how difficult it is to pin down exact figures because of a number of variables (for example, some of her imprints can no longer be identified, and the AAS no doubt does not own every Johnson & Warner imprint), neither figure should be seen as defi nitive. 4. Bailey describes her printing jobs in a number of ways, which makes it difficult to draw comparisons by format or genre. Some she refers to in ems and tokens, others in quires, others in copies, and still others by single- sheet jobs. An examination of the work performed in 1810, for instance, shows that her presses were at work producing six “books”— defi ned here as a job of more than 50 pages—(Aesop’s Fables at 155 pages, the Awful doom of murderers at 76 pages, Cordier’s Colloquies at 164 pages, Erasmus’s Colloquies at 166 pages, Nepos’s Vitae at 347 pages, and a New Testament at 298 pages) while also being occupied with more than nine hundred tokens of ephemera and at least fi fty single- sheet jobs for Steele and others. 5. It is a mystery, for instance, why she should charge Mathew Carey .45 for one job and then .50 for an almost identical job, followed by .45 for another. One can imagine any number of factors in play, such as an immediate sense of economic infl ation, a request for a rush job, or even something more subjective, such as momentary forgetfulness or a bad mood. 6. McCalla (also McCallah) was a Philadelphia merchant from whom Bailey bought many household and shop supplies. 7. Bailey does not distinguish paper bought for personal use from paper bought for printing or accounting purposes. During this period she bought fi fteen reams of paper at a cost of $71.95 from Johnson & Warner, presumably all for business purposes, though not necessarily for printing. 8. During this period she also acquired forty- six reams of paper from her uncle, John Steele, and eighty-three from Mathew Carey, for whom, along with Johnson & Warner, she was doing the bulk of her work. This makes clear that her clients were providing paper for the jobs they required. 9. A search for the term “printer” in the 1810 Philadelphia directory produced more than 115 hits; however, some of these are no doubt duplicate headings for joint businesses, some are for printers of other than letterpress, and still others are for printers who had gone out of business during the time it took to print the directory.
