Publications of Henry Cooke

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 Henry Cooke

  • Mason, William. Methodism displayed, and enthusiasm detected; intended as an antidote against, and a preservative from the delusive principles and unscriptural doctrines of a modern sett of seducing preachers; and as a defence of our regular and orthodox clergy, from their unjust reflections. London: printed for Henry Cooke, under the Royal Exchange, MDCCLVI. [1756]. ESTC No. N3994. Grub Street ID 27132.
  • Jarrige, Pierre. A true discovery of the Society of Jesuits, in relation to their politics. Shewing their secret contrivances to set kingdoms at war, to stir up the minds of the people, and make them evil affected, both towards their prince, and one another, in every nation where they are permitted to reside. Written originally by Peter Jarrigius, who himself was once Jesuit, and admitted to the fourth vow, which, among them, is the highest degree of honour, attainable on the account of personal merit; but afterwards recanted the errors of the Church of Rome, and embraced the calvinist-persuasion at Rochel, but was obliged afterwards to throw himself under the protection of the states-general. To which is added, by way of appendix, the secret instructions for the superiors of that society, in relation to their conduct in their different stations; which were first discovered by Christian Duke of Brunswic, when he ransackt the Jesuits College at Paderborn in Westphalia. London: Printed for H. Cooke, at the Royal Exchange, 1757. ESTC No. N47041. Grub Street ID 31807.
