A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Eeles (Robert)
EELES (ROBERT), printer in London, 1646. Only known from certain papers in the House of Lords, in which it is stated that he was employed by a committee of the Lords to suppress seditious books, and had seized a press and letters, belonging to William Larner, which had been used in printing London's Last Warning; A Remonstrance to the House of Commons; An Alarum to the House of Lords, and all or most of Lilburne's books. He further obtained the arrest of Richard Overton, a notorious writer among the Independents. The Stationers' Company referred to him as "a common printer and seller of unlicensed books," and did their best to ruin him. [Library, October, 1904, pp. 390-91.]
