Who was William Ged?
William Ged was a Scottish goldsmith who invented stereotyping.
Ged was born in Edinburgh, where he carried on business as a goldsmith. In 1729 he endeavoured to push his new process of printing, on which he had been working since 1725, in London by joining in partnership with a capitalist, but, disappointed in his workmen and his partner, he returned despondent to Edinburgh. An edition of Sallust and two prayer-books were stereotyped by him.
