Report (possibly written for publication?) of the proceedings of the Stationers' Company annual banquet, held December 1, 1877, at which William Rivington, of St. John's Square, Clerkenwell, was inaugurated as Master. The writer describes the venue, lists special invited guests, and summarizes the speeches and toasts given at the banquet. A special feature of this 1877 banquet was honoring the executive committee and numerous others who organized the "Caxton Celebration" exhibition commemorating the 400th anniversary of William Caxton's production of the first book printed in England, held June 30-September 1, 1877, at the International Exhibition Galleries, South Kensington, London
