Publications of Richard Davis

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 Richard Davis

  • Pierce, Thomas. A decad of caveats to the people of England, of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these. As having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government, as it is by law establish'd. An aptitude to the setling the minds of such a are but seekers and erraticks in religion. An aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state. Whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be made the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them. To which is added an appendix in orde to the conviction of those three enemies to the Diety: the atheist, the infidel, and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion. By Thomas Pierce D.D. domestick chaplain to His Majesty, and Dean of Sarum. Partim jussu, partim permissu superiorum. London: printed [by E. Flesher] for Richard Davis bookseller in Oxford, 1679. ESTC No. R18054. Grub Street ID 71544.
