Publications of R. Tomlins
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:
- "printed by x"; or
- "sold by x"; or
- "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,":
- "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.

- Townsend, Sampson. The Scriptures proved to be the word of God, and the only foundation of faith, and rule for our obedience. Or, A clear conviction of the errours of those that are called Quakers. Who blasphemously affirm, that the scriptures are not the Word of God, nor the foundation of the faith, nor the only rule for our obedience. Against which errours, these two propositions are maintained. I. That the Scriptures contained in the books of the Old and New Testament, commonly called the Bible, is revealed Will & Word of God. II. That the Scriptures which is the Word of God, is the only foundation for our faith, and the only rule for our obedience. By Sampson Tounesend, Minister of the Gospel, and Pastor of S. Austins, and Saviours Parish in Norwich. London: printed by S[arah]. G[riffin]. for R. Tomlins at the Sun and Bible in Pye-Corner, 1654. ESTC No. R185411. Grub Street ID 74492.
