154 HISTORY OF THE PRINTING PRESS IN DERBYSHIRE. 
TRIMERS FAMILY BIBLE. 
HE Publisher of the above Work wishes to

Lea Wilson’s (Edztions of the Bible or Parts Thereof, 1852, 8vo. 
p. tor). The author is not known to me. Of the printer I 
gather from the WVottingham Journal of November 29th, 1790, 
that about that time “ Mr. Bradley, Printer at Chesterfield, in 
Derbyshire, who is appointed Post-Master of that place, has taken
