Publications of Ann Ireland

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.

  • Moorhouse, Michael. The defence of Mr. Michael Moorhouse, written by himself. He travelled as a preacher in connection with the Rev. Mr. Wesley, fourteen years; but was suddenly turned out of that connection with contempt, without a hearing; and degraded not only in large cities and towns, but in some places from house to house among the methodists; that they should look upon him as a gazing stock, and as "one of the vilest wretches that ever was in the connection since methodism existed." The methodists were advised by the preachers to shut their doors against him, and many of them did so. He also mentions the crime for which he was so suddenly turned out and so universally degraded.
