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.

  • Evans, Thomas, attorney-at-law. A letter to the Right Honourable The earl of Sandwich, on the actual state of the master's mates, midshipmen, inferior officers, and seamen, of his Majesty's navy; their Wives, Children, Executors, and legal Representatives; wherein the Power of the Bishops and Ordinaries, in granting Probates of Wills, and Letters of Administration, is considered: the whole tending to shew that the Statute of the 26 Geo. III. cap. 63, intituled, ``an Act for the further preventing Frauds and Abuses attending the Payment of Wages, Prize-Money, and other Allowances due for the Service of Petty Officers and Seamen, on Board any of his Majesty's Ships,'' is impracticable, and highly injurious. By T. Evans, attorney-at-law. London: printed for David Steel, Minories, 1791. ESTC No. N47024. Grub Street ID 31794.
