A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Archer (Edward)
ARCHER (EDWARD), bookseller in London; Adam and Eve in Little Britaine, 1656. Publisher of plays, of which he issued a catalogue in 1656, "more exactly Printed then ever before." This list he added to a comedy called the Old Law, the joint production of Massinger, Middleton, and Rowley. He may have been a descendant of the Thomas Archer, book-seller, who flourished between 1603 and 1634. [W. W. Greg, List of Masques, etc., App. II.]
