Publications of Thomas Simmonds

Note: The following printer, bookseller, or publisher lists are works in progress. They are generated from title page imprints and may reproduce false and misleading attributions or contain errors.

What does "printed by" mean? How to read the roles ascribed to people in the imprints.

In terms of the book trades, the lists below are sorted into up to four groups where: the person is designated in the imprint as having a single role:

  1. "printed by x"; or
  2. "sold by x"; or
  3. "printed for x" or "published by x";

or as having the seller and printer roles in combination, or an absence of the printer's name following "London: printed:" or "London: printed,":

  1. "printed and sold by x"; or "printed for and sold by x"; or "printed by and for x"; or "printed: and sold by x"; or "printed, and sold by x";  and so on.

On this last point, trade publishers may seem to have "printed" or "published" the work, though they did not own the copyright. The lists below reflect only the information on the imprint, except where ESTC provides extra information.

Printed for Thomas Simmonds

  • Burrough, Edward. A just and lawful trial of the teachers & professed ministers of England, by a perfect proceeding against them. And hereby they are righteously examined, and justly weighed, and truly measured, and condemned out of their own mouths, and judged by their own professed rule viz. the Scriptures; and thereby are proved to disagree, and be contrary to all the ministers of Christ in former ages; and to agree and concur with all the false prophets and deceivers in their call, in their maintenance, and in their doctrines, and conversation, and practice. And being brought t the bar of justice, these things are truly charged against them, and legally proved upon them, and their own professed rule (the Scriptures) have judged them guilty. By a friend to England's Common-wealth, for whose sake this is written and sent abroad. E.B. London: printed for Thomas Simmonds, at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate, 1657. ESTC No. R207572. Grub Street ID 83935.
