A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Emerson (Godfrey)

by Henry Robert Plomer

EMERSON (GODFREY), bookseller in London; The Swan Little Britain, 1637-46. Took up his freedom March 1st, 1613. [Arber, iii. 684.] He may be identical with the Godfrey Emonson or Edmondson who was publishing between 1623-37. His name occurs in the Churchwardens' Books of St. Botolph without Aldersgate as paying 26s. towards the restoration of the church in 1637. Amongst his later publications was a work on the subject of letter writing entitled The Secretary in Fashion, 1640, 4^o., edited by John Massinger and printed, it is believed, by John Beale and Samuel Bulkley.
