The evolution of the Press to printer and publisher occurred in three phases. The first (1780s–1850s) saw the creation of the Bible Partnership, which required the Delegates to be more business-like, the transformation of print production by the industrial revolution, and the impact of bible-distribution charities (such as the BFBS), which hugely increased demand for the Press's products and greatly improved their distribution. The second (1860s–1870s) witnessed the appointment of Alexander Macmillan as the Press's London publisher; and the introduction of the Press's first modern series devoted to educational books (the Clarendon Press Series). During this period the Press learned to be a modern publisher of mostly secular books. The third phase (1880s–1890s) was marked by the Press divesting itself of its mentors at both the Bible Press and the Learned Press and becoming a wholly independent of them. Its appointments to senior positions such as ‘Printer to the University’ and ‘London Publisher’ were now of salaried employees, not partners.
