Publications of Samuel Thompson

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 Samuel Thompson

  • Cradock, Samuel. The harmony of the four evangelists, and their text methodiz'd, according to the order and series of times, in which the several things by them mentioned, were transacted. Wherein the entire history of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is methodically set forth. Divers Jewish rites and customs tending to illustrate the text, are opened. Several seeming contradictions are reconciled. Many dark and obscure places in the gospels, are paraphrased, and explained. By Samuel Cradock. B.D. London: printed for Samuel Thompson, at the Bishops Head in Duck-Lane, and Francis Tyton, at the Three Daggers in Fleet-street, 1668. ESTC No. R10659. Grub Street ID 59006.
