COX (NICHOLAS), bookseller in London and Oxford: (i) London, over against Furnivall's Inn, Holborn; (2) Oxford, near Queen's College. 1673–1721. Manciple of St. Edmund Hall. Author of a work called The Gentleman's Recreation, 1673. It went through many editions. Cox was also the publisher of some plays and historical works. In 1680 he published a catalogue of plays reprinted and brought up to date from that printed in Nicomede, 1671. [Wood, I. 20.] In 1685 he appears to have had a shop at Oxford, which Mr. Arber says was near Queen's College. From there he published A. Freyer's Funeral Sermon on the death of Charles II, preached at Dort, 1685, and Gerard Langbaine's Momus Triumphans, 1688. [T.C. n. 143, 240.]
