Britain 1784-1811: Introduction

Exeter working papers in British book trade history; 20
The British book trades 1784-1811: a tabulation of national directories

Introduction
The following table compares the provincial traders listed in the following early trade directories which have nationwide coverage:

• Column 1: John Pendred's The London and country printers, booksellers and stationers vade mecum, 1785. The fellmongers included by Pendred are omitted. Additional information (chiefly forenames) taken from Bailey's British directory, of 1784, which is the main source for Pendred, is added in brackets.
• Column 2: The Universal British directory, volumes 2-5, compiled 1792-98. The precise date for each place is difficult to establish, but the chronological order generally follows alphabetical order, volume 2 being compiled mainly in 1792, volume 3 in 1793 and 1794, volume 4 between 1794 and 1797 and volume 5 (a supplementary volume) in 1798. The table below gives details of current or recent dates noted while searching the directory.
• Column 3: Holden's triennial directory, volumes 2 & 3, 1811. Volume 2 covers the larger towns, which had previously been included in the 1809 directory (sometimes with little change in 1811), and volume 3 the smaller towns.

Where "none" is recorded against a particular date, this indicates that there is an entry in the directory for that town, but no book trade personnel have been found to be listed. The use of "not" indicates that there is no entry at all for that town in the directory. It is hoped to improve the coverage of population figures, which should be used with caution as they do not always fully reflect the nature and extent of the urban area.
Localities: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I-K, L, M, N-O, P, R, S, T-U, W-Y.
