GOODMAN'S FIELDS PRESS—GRAY.

in Goodman's Fields, Whitechapel, some time between July and December, 1645. It is believed to have been the same press from which the Martin Mar-Priest tracts had appeared earlier in the year, and to have been hurriedly removed from Bishopsgate Street to avoid seizure. The following books are known to have been printed at it: (1) The Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant Colonell John Lilburne, to a friend. [August 9th, 1645.] 4o.; (2) England's Birthright justified against all Arbitrary Usurpation, etc. [October 10th, 1645.] 4o. [Library, N.S., October, 1904, Secret Printing during the Civil War, pp. 374-403.]
