Publications of John Bringhurst

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 by John Bringhurst

  • Fox, George. Concerning persecution in all ages to this day. And he that was born after the flesh, persecuted them that was born of the spirit; and even so it is now: yea, and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. Mark, all them that will live Godly; not them that will live ungodly, out of Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 3.12. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. To the elect of God; and how that Christ hath sown his seed upon all grounds: and now their grounds will be tryed. The children of God, their heavenly shield, buckler, arms, armour and defence, which they had from God and Christ. G. Fox. London: printed by John Bringhurst, at the sign of the Book in Grace-Church-street, 1682. ESTC No. R15836. Grub Street ID 63737.

  • Whitehead, George. The accuser of our brethren cast down in righteous judgment against that spirit of hellish jealousie vented in a great confused book, falsly entituled, The Christian-Quaker distinguished from the apostate and innovator; in five parts. The fallacy and force whereof being herein clearly detected & justly repelled. London: printed for John Bringhurst at the sign of the Book in Grace-Church-street, near Cornhil, 1681. ESTC No. R19917. Grub Street ID 77478.
