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

by Henry Robert Plomer

MEIGHEN (MERCY), bookseller in London, (?) Under St. Clements Church [Strand], 1642-54. Widow of Richard Meighen. In partnership with G. Bedell. In 1650 Thomas Collins was taken as third partner. The retirement or death of M. Meighen in 1654 caused some confusion. Gabriel Bedell's name is found in connection with R. Marriot and T. Garthwaite, and the imprint J. Crook, G. Bedell & Partners is held to refer to this house, which before the end of the year became Gabriel Bedell & T. Collins.
