Bowyer, William (1699–1777)

English printer and classical scholar. His chief work was Conjectural Emendations of the Greek Testament (1763). He also wrote two essays on the origin of printing, published in 1774, and translated the French philosopher Rousseau's first Discourse in 1751.

Bowyer was educated at Cambridge and became his father's partner in business in 1722. The company was chosen to print the votes of the House of Commons in 1729 and the journal of the House of Lords in 1767.
