Mr. Brinley, of Hartford, Conn., whose unequalled collection of early American publications, and critical knowledge of them, are well known, kindly furnishes the following memoranda, made by him in his copy of Mr. Thomas's work:

"JOB HOWE, was a Bookseller, not mentioned by Thomas. Example — Neglect of Supporting and Maintaining the Pure Worship of God, * * or The Cause of New England's Scarcity, and Right Way to its Plenty. A Fast Sermon at Roxbury July 26th, 1687 by James Allen, Teacher to the first Gathered Church in Boston. 4to. Boston Printed for Job How and John Allen, and are to be sold at Mr. Samuel Green's, by the South Meeting House, 1687. Title, preface 1 leaf, & pp. 1-16.

How is not mentioned, and the earliest seen of John Allen is in 1690.

The above sermon seems to be rare, as it is not in the library of the Antiquarian Society, that of the Massachusetts Historical Society, or the Prince Library. It was 'preached on a Solemn Fast Day occasioned by the afflictive Providence of God in sending Worms and Catapillars, which in some places, as God's great army, marched in numerous Companies, and devoured all before them, both Corn and Grass,' &c., &c. Preface.

HEZEKIAH USHER, Bookseller. Thomas 1652. Was in business as early as 1650. Example. The Mystery of God Incarnate, &c., &c., by Samuel Eaton. Printed for H. Usher at Boston in New England 1650.

JOHN USHER, Bookseller. Thomas 1672. Should be 1669. Example - God's Call to His People to Turn to Him, in 11 Sermons at two Publick Fasting Dayes by John Davenport. 4to. Cambridge printed by S. G. and M. J. for John Usher of Boston MDCLXIX.

John Ratcliffe, Bookseller. A good example of his publications is a very rare book of which I do not trace any copy: A Poem, Dedicated to the Memory of the Reverend and Excellent Urian Oakes, late Pastor to Christ's Flock, and Praesident of Harvard College in Cambridge; &c., &c., &c. 4to. Boston in New England. Printed for John Ratcliff, 1682. Title, To the reader, 2 pages. pp. 1-16. (By Cotton Mather,) a juvenile production, and not in any list of his publications.

BENJAMIN HARRIS, Bookseller. Thomas 1690. He printed in 1689 Massachusetts Charter. N. B.: This is the first document in Hutchinson's volume of "Original Papers," and of which he says in a foot note that it never had been printed.

OBADIAH GILL, Bookseller. Thomas 1690. Should be 1685. Example-An Elegy on the Much-to-be-deplored Death of that Never-to-be-forgotten Person, the Reverend Mr. Nathaniel Collins, who after he had been many years a faithful Pastor to the Church at Middletown of Connecticut in New England, about the Forty-third year of his Age expired on 28th 10th month, 1684. (Texts &c.) Boston in New England. Printed by Richard Pierce for Obadiah Gill— Anno Christi 1685.-16mo. (Title, to the reader, 2 pages. pp. 20.) (By Cotton Mather) another juvenile production, not in any list of his publications.

Among Printers some mention ought to be made of GREGORY DEXTER, who joined Roger Williams in Rhode Island. He had been a printer in London but never had an opportunity to exercise his craft in this country, but was in other respects a prominent man in that colony. He was the printer of the original edition of Roger Williams's Key into the Language of America. London. Printed

by Gregory Dexter, 1643. He probably printed also The Bloody Tenent. London, 1644.

PRINTING IN MARYLAND. Thomas says, first at Annapolis, by Green, about 1726. Should be 1700. Example. The Necessity of an Early Religion, being a Sermon Preached the 5th of May before the Honorable Assembly of Maryland by Thomas Bray, D. D. Annapolis, Printed by order of the Assembly by Tho: Reading for Evan Jones, bookseller, anno Domini 1700. Title, pp. 1-20. Also The Power of the Gospel in the Conversion of Sinners, in a Sermon Preach'd at Annapolis, in Maryland, by George Keith M. A. July the 4th. Printed and are to be sold by Thomas Reading, at the Sign of the George. Anno Domini MDCCIII. (pp. 19.)"

We add from the Boston Evening Post of Aug. 14, 1749, the name of OBADIAH COOKSON, who, in 1749, was "at the Cross Pistols, in Fish Street, Boston." He sold a few books, and many other articles.-H.
