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.

  • The Occasional monitor: Containing a scheme or proposal, for taking off the several taxes on land, soap, starch, candles, leather, plate, pot, &c. As also the duties on the several commodities us'd in dying, which will be a great benefit and encouragement to the woollen manufactury; and replacing the said duties by another tax which will bring in more money in a more easy and equal manner, and less burthensome to the subject: humbly offered to the consideration, not only of the Parliament, but also the people of England, for whose benefit this is design'd. Plainly proving, that the duties on soap, candles, and leather, which do not bring in 600,000l. a year, cost the subject more than double that sum: so that this method is calculated to ease the people of one half they now pay, on account of those several taxes, and yet not lessen the revenue: and the same will also serve at any time hereafter, to raise any sum the government may have occasion for.
