BRITISH PROVINCIAL BOOK-TRADE, 1641-67.
MB. HENRY R. PLOMER has added to his previous good offices for bibliography an excellent piece of work in * A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who were at work in England from 1641 to 1667,' which has been issued by the Bibliographical Society. It throws some light upon the obscure history of such printing, publishing, and bookselling as existed outside of London in the period with which it deals. I have gone through it, and in the following memo- randum have indexed the names of the book-traders in the various towns, of course excluding London. The number of printers, outside of the metropolis and the University towns, was very small, and many in this list are not printers, but only retailers of books. Occasionally, however, the book- seller is found to have established himself in a small and somewhat remote locality. For the sake of completeness I have indexed the Scotch and Irish towns, though it is
not entirely accurate to speak of Edinburgh
and Dublin in connexion with provincial
bookselling.
