Book Description Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, viii, 452 pp. Reproduced from typescript. Contents: I. Early Life, Apprenticeship, and Beginnings in the Trade (1659-1688); II. Maturity in the Trade (1688-1698); III. The Athenian Society (1691-1697); IV. Dunton and La Crose; V. The Dublin Scuffle (1698); VI. The Abusive Scribbler (1700-1732); Appendix I. Dunton and his Authors; II. Dunton and the Trade; III. Pseudonymous Imprints; IV. The Conger; Checklist; Notes; Index. The checklist occupies pages 211-400 and includes 479 entries. From the: Introduction to the Checklist : "This checklist has been compiled from personal examination of each item written or published by Dunton. Its primary aim is to epitomize Dunton's career in bookselling, omitting no detail essential to the history of each of the works with which he can be proved to have been concerned. It records the publishing history of many well known works and rescues a few from oblivion.This list should serve not only as a summary of facts but also as an unravelling of Dunton's tangled activities. It thus illumines trade practices and throws occasional rays of light on numerous ancillary problems which can now be understood in the context of their place and time." From a review by Robert Haig: "Parks's exhaustive research has taken him to Stationers' Hall, to Chancery records and Fleet Prison Commitment Books in the Public Record Office, to the Dunton manuscripts in the Bodleian, and to the wills at Somerset House. It seems safe to conclude that no scrap of manuscript evidence bearing on Dunton's career has escaped Parks. Moreover, his chronological checklist of over five hundred items written or published by Dunton, with locations for each, must be definitive and is certainly the cornerstone for any future study of Dunton's work. All in all, Parks has fashioned a splendid bibliographical tool." An ex-library copy with stamps on each edge of the textblock, a callnumber sticker taped around the spine, bookplate on front pastedown endpaper, library marks and stamps to verso of title-page, barcode label and docket on rear pastedown endpaper,.
