PROVINCIAL BOOKSELLERS.
A PURPOSE of ray own recently led me to
examine a collection of more than 2,000
volumes of pamphlets. So many of them
bore the names of booksellers at other places
than London, Oxford, and Cambridge, that
I made brief notes of them, shown on the
subjoined list. It has its value as evidence
of the literary condition of the provinces,
chiefly in the eighteenth century. I am
conscious that I did not gather all that I
might have done, and the local bibliographies
would easily supply many more. The few
names of 1633 are taken from 'Documents
relating to W. Prynne,' Camd. Soc., p. 60.
