WOODWARD,THOMAS. He was at the Half Moon against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street in 1730. Beyond this I have been unable to ascertain anything about him.

WOODWARD, THOMAS. According to Hilton Price (op. cit.) he was at the Half Moon between the Two Temple Gates, Fleet Street, as early as 1723, and I find he was still there in 1741 when he published the first English edition of Voltaire's 'Anti-Machiavel.' He may have been in business for some time after this for the catalogue of the auction sale of the stock of "Thomas Woodward deceased" is dated 12 March, 1752.
