Publications of Edmund Negus

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 for Edmund Negus

  • Mather, Cotton. Genethlia pia; or, Thoughts for a birth-day. A very brief essay, on the sentiments of piety, which are never on any day of the year, out of season; but are more especially seasonable to be awakened, in every one, when their birth-day annually arrives unto them. An essay proper to be read, among the exercises of a birth-day; and more particularly proper to be put by parents into the hands of their children, or, by others into the hands of the friends they wish well unto, when such a day recurs unto them. Boston: Printed by B. Green, for Edmund Negus, sold at his shop, 1719. ESTC No. W18663. Grub Street ID 328272.
