HAMPSHIRE BOOKSELLERS AND PRINTERS.

IN the list of provincial booksellers con- tributed by W. C. B. ante, pp. 141, 183, 242, there are 13 in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. In making researches some years ago into the history of journalism and the press in Hampshire I collected the names of about 100 booksellers and printers down to the end of the eighteenth century, and as this list has not nitherto been printed it may be useful to put it on record. The names have been mainly taken from the title-pages of books, which were often stated to be "printed for" or "sold by" a number of booksellers in different towns. Two or three engaged in associated trades an engraver, a bookbinder, and a stationer- have also been included ; and it is curious to note how the selling of quack medicines was frequently associated with the selling of books. The following list has not, with a few exceptions, been brought down later than the year 1800 ; and the earliest and latest years in which each name has been found are noted, together with variations in the

spelling of names or the titles of firms, &c. Two or three names added from W. C. B.'s list are indicated with his initials.
