Publications of Hugh Gaine

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.

  • Squire, Francis. An answer to some late papers, entitled, the Independent Whig; so far as they relate to the Church of England, as by law established. In which, her doctrines, creeds, liturgy, and establishment; her clergy, with their rights, divine and humane, are modestly defended; and their author's new notions prov'd to be, not only absurd and ridiculous, but also directly opposite to those very texts of God's Word, on which he pretends to found them. By Francis Squire, A.M. Rector of Exford, and Vicar of Cutcombe and Luxborow, Somerset. New-York: Printed and sold by Hugh Gaine, at the printing office opposite the Old-Slip-Market, 1753. ESTC No. W11642. Grub Street ID 320855.
