CUTLER (ROBERT), bookseller in London; Newgate Market near Butchers Hall, 1663-75. Gave a bond dated August 1st, 1663, that he would neither sell publish or dispose any unlawfull or unlicensed book. Henry Brome, q.v., was one of the sureties. [Domestic State Papers, Charles II, vol 78 (10).]
DAGNALL (STEPHEN), bookseller at Aylesbury, 16501. Only known from the imprint to Severall proposalls for the general good of the Common-Wealth, 16501 [E. 624. (7).]
DAINTY (THOMAS), bookseller in London; Parish of St. Michael in the Querne, 1623-52. Took up his freedom October 6th, 1623 [Arber, iii. 685], the earliest entry in the Register being on April 12th, 1639; but he published Martin Billingsley's Coppie Book in 1637. No other book is known to have been published by him, nor has any other book been found bearing his name, but there are many entries in the Stationers' Registers of this period showing that he had large dealings in books. For example, on November 3rd, 1647, he transferred fourteen copies under a bill of sale to the widow of Christopher Meredith, copies which had formerly belonged to Mr. Milborne deceased, presumably Robert Milbourne, or Milborne, q.v. These, with the exception of two, Jo. Clarke's Dux Grammaticus and Lord Carey's Pacata Hibernia, were all theological. Thomas Dainty died in 1652, and his will was proved in the P.C.C. on March 4th, 16512. [218, Bowyer.] A suit was afterwards commenced in the Court of Chancery against his estate, from which it would appear that towards the close of his life he gave up the trade of a bookseller for that of a coat-seller. [Chancery Proceedings. Mitford, 112, 81.]
DAKERS (ROBERT), printer in London; Angel Alley Aldersgate Street, 1666. Mentioned in the Hearth Tax Rolls for the six months ending Lady Day, 1666. [P.R.O. Subsidy Roll. 25232.]
DAKINS (JOHN), bookseller in London; Near the Vine Tavern in Holborn, 1650-65. Smyth, in his Obituary (p. 64), under date July 21st, 1665, records: "M. Daykyn bookseller, a recusant in High Holborn died there ex peste." This is probably the same with the above, whose name will be found on J. P. Camus' Loving Enemie, 1650, 12o. [E. 1336 (2).]
