Hamilton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the evolution of printing in England, discussing key figures such as William Caxton and the development of printing technology and industry regulations. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of English printing while connecting it to broader cultural and societal contexts.  The opening of the book sets the foundation for an exploration of the significant milestones in English printing, starting with the initial resistance to the technology compared to continental Europe. It introduces William Caxton as a central figure, detailing his journey from apprenticeship to establishing the first printing press in England. The text highlights the cultural and political challenges England faced during the fifteenth century, which hindered the immediate flourishing of the printing trade and offers a glimpse into Caxton's background, including his ventures in Bruges that influenced his eventual return to England to print books that would cater to the local populace’s tastes.
