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 Samuel. Bridge

  • Owen, James. A further vindication of the dissenters from the Rector of Bury's unjust accusations, wherein his charge of their being corrupters of the Word of God, is demonstrated to be false and malicious. His pretended justification and confirmation of it to be groundless, weak and self-condemning. The titles of psalms to be divinely inspired. The purity of the Hebrew copies is asserted. The Scotch church and bibles defended. The rector convicted of corrupting the Word of God, by adding to it, and diminishing from it, in several instances. And his unworthy calumnies of St. Jerom and other good men, detected and confuted. By James Owen, Minister of the Gospel at Oswestry. London: printed by S[amuel]. Bridge, for Tho. Parkhurst, at the Bible and Three Crowns in Cheapside near Mercers Chapel, 1699. ESTC No. R24051. Grub Street ID 107884.
