A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Dancer (Samuel)
DANCER (SAMUEL), bookseller in Dublin; Horse-shoe, Castle Street, 1662-68. The recognized publisher to the Irish Church Convocation, by which he was sent into England in February, 1666, to obtain the Royal assent to the adoption of the Book of Common Prayer approved by the Primate and Bishops of Ireland. A catalogue of books sold by him in 1663 is given at the end of Jeremy Taylor's Discourse of Confirmation. From this it appears that he dealt in statutes, proclamations, political pamphlets, and general literature. The date of his death appears to be unknown. [J. R. Garstin, The Book of Common Prayer in Ireland, 1871, pp. 10, 16; E. R. McC. Dix, List of Books printed in Dublin, part iii, 1651-75.]
