      I Bacon's Booksellers. The Imprint Of A ...

      windy title of ' A Maske , presented at Ludlow Castle , on Michaelmas night , before the Right

      Honourable John , Earle of Bridge water , Viscount Brackley , Lord President of Wales , and one of His Majestie ' s most Honourable Privie Coun & ell . '

      Thirty Mr . Robinson -four years gave after ^ this 10 — to i . e the . in 1671 Compan —* Young y of Stationers to be bestowed on a piece of plate in

      memory of his father . A silver tankard was purchased , weight 34 ounces 10 pennyweights . ' That Bacon ' s * Elements of Common Law' should be

      published by John More , or rather by his assigns , is only right and proper , for on March 2 , 1642 , the ' Patent first granted to Richard Tottle' was

      on or about ^ B — that m ^ k - o date ^ Bi > * confirmed ^ B . ^ Bl to - John ^ BB » ^ B More ^ BBl BBV , for the sole printing of all law books whatsoever , prohibiting all others from printing them . ' In

      1641 the assigns of the same person printed and published Bacon ' s Cases of Treason , ' which was to be purchased at the shops of Matthew

      Walbancke and William Coke , both very minor booksellers , of whom scarcely anything is known . Many of Bacon ' s were posthumous , and with

      these we have not , as a rule , thought fit to deal . The object has been to afford a little out-of-theway information relative to those of * the trade '

      with whom Lord Bacon may have conversed , and , perhaps at times associated in a more friendly

      manner .
