A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/London (William)
LONDON (WILLIAM), bookseller at Newcastle upon Tyne, Bridge Foot, 1653-60. Chiefly remembered for his Catalogue of the most vendible books in England, published first in 1657, with a supplement down to June 1st, 1658, and a further supplement in 1660 down to Easter term of that year, issued under the title, A Catalogue of New Books By Way of Supplement to the Former. Being such as have been Printed from that time till Easter Term. 1660. In this he held out the expectation of another issue of the catalogue in the following year, but nothing is known of any further supplement. In this catalogue the books were arranged in classes, Divinity coming first, and being followed by History, Physick, etc. In each class the works were arranged alphabetically under the authors. This catalogue has been absurdly attributed to William Juxon, Bishop of London, and later to Thomas Guy the bookseller. [Growoll (A.), English Booktrade Bibliography, p. 48.] London also printed several books against the Quakers, which were printed for him by Stephen Bulkley at York.
