WOOD (THOMAS), printer in Oxford and in London, 1715–42. [Madan, p. 32.] The Oxford and London imprints with this name seem to refer to the same man. He is probably the T. W. who in 1720 printed in London for a number of booksellers the works of Machiavelli. [Esdaile, p. 264.] Negus enters him as "well-affected "; and Nichols notes that he was the printer of the fifth volume of Thuanus' Historiae for Samuel Buckley in 1733. [Lit. Anecd. II. 26.] He was for a time in partnership with T. Sharpe.
