A Dictionary of the Printers and Booksellers who were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1668 to 1725, by Henry Plomer (1922)
CLIFF (NATHANIEL), bookseller in London, (i) Golden Candlestick in Cheapside, near the Old Jewry; (2) (with D. Jackson) Bible and Three Crowns near Mercer's Chapel, 1708–16. Succeeded E. Jaye at the former address in 1708, when he published A Persuasive to Moderation. [T.C. III. 588.] In the following year with several other booksellers he issued in monthly parts A New Collection of Voyages and Travels. About 1710 he entered into partnership with D. Jackson, and together they took over the Bible and Three Crowns in Cheapside near Mercer's Chapel, formerly held by Thomas Parkhurst. Both the partners seem to have died or given up business by 1716, as the firm was then S. Cliff and T. Cox, and in 1718, R. Cruttenden and T. Cox.
