Francis Eglesfield was a prominent London publisher, particularly of religious texts, active between 1637 and 1688. 162 imprints are listed in ESTC, some 40 of them with some kind of Westcountry content. Some are variant issues of the same title, 13 with a local bookseller between 1640 and 1678.

William of Orange was in Exeter from 10-21 November 1688. The fact that some imprints bear the date 1689 does not necessarily imply that the press remained in Exeter. Printers normally used the Gregorian calendar year, starting 1 January rather than the legal year starting 25 March and were in the habit of postdating imprints from November to allow for delays in publication. J. B. has been identified as John Bringhurst, a Quaker printer, the only individual with those initials in the 1686 list, who is recorded in the Low Countries in 1688. There is no evidence to support the statement that there was a printer in Exeter in 1683. William of Orange's press had little impact on Exeter book trade.
