runaway one. A curious lawsuit resulted. [Chan. Proc., Charles I, F. 34, 58.] At this time he was in partnership with Humphrey Moseley; the partnership was apparently dissolved in 1635. His subsequent address is unknown, that given above being recorded by Mr. Sayle in the Cambridge Catalogue (p. 1101). As a member of the Livery of the Company of Stationers he paid a sum of £3 to the poll tax on August 5th, 1641. [Domestic State Papers, Charles I, vol. 483 (11).]

FYFIELD, or FIFIELD (ALEXANDER), printer and typefounder in London, 1635-44. Took up his freedom July 20th, 1635. [Arber, iii. 687.] He was one of the four typefounders allowed by the Star Chamber Decree of 1637. Nothing is known of his foundry. Like other typefounders he also carried on the business of a printer, and was one of those who printed the "Directory" for public worship issued by the Assembly of Divines in 1644.

GALTON (GIFFORD), (?) bookseller in London; Kings Armes in the Poultrey, 1646. His name is found on the following political pamphlets: The Burden of England, Scotland and Ireland; or, The Watchman's Alarum … 1646., [E. 351 (1)]; Truth Vindicated from the unjust accusations of the Independent Society, in the City of Norwich … By S. T. … 1646. [E. 351 (4).]

GAMAGE (NICHOLAS), bookseller in London, (1) On London Bridge neere the Gate, 1646; (2) Three Bibles on London Bridge, next the Gate, 1648. From a deed of assignment dated January 10th, 1645, it appears that Nicholas Gamage was the son of Thomas Gamage, of Walden, in Essex. He had a brother John and a sister Mary. The earliest book found with his name is The World's Prospect … by John Emersone, 1646. [E. 1183 (2).] He also published Thomas Decker's English Villanies [Ninth Edition], 1648. This is probably the same house, afterwards occupied by C. Tyus and T. Passinger, q.v.

GAMMON (RICHARD), bookseller in London; Over against Excester [i.e., Exeter] house in the Strand, 1661-62. His imprint has been found in the following books: {{w:Arthur Brett|Brett (Arthur)}}, Patientia Victrix; or the Book of Job in Lyrick Verse, 1661; Hemings (W.), Fatal contract, a French comedy, 1661; Davenport (Robert), King John and Matilda.
