A List of Printers' Apprentices, 1605-1640
by
D. F. McKenzie [*]

Among the extant but still unprinted records of the Stationers' Company of London are two volumes of particular significance to students of the book trade in the seventeenth century. These are the Register of Apprentices, 1605-1666, and the Register of Freemen, 1605-1704.[1] It is from these two volumes that I have compiled the following list of apprentices either bound to or made free by printers between July 1605 and December 1640. I hope that it may eventually be possible to follow it with a similar list of apprentices bound to members of the Stationers' Company other than printers in this same period.

This is not the place for a detailed discussion of apprenticeship in the Stationers' Company, but one or two considerations which have determined the form of the present list ought perhaps to be mentioned. Apart from the paramount purpose of making more readily available the important biographical information contained in the Registers, one important aim has been to show the rate of recruitment into individual printing houses and the kind of men employed. For this reason I have departed from the chronological order of the Registers and have regrouped the entries alphabetically under masters. To do this is to gain much and to lose little (annual intake into the printing trade as a whole can still be calculated either from the dates of entry in the Register or, more properly, from the dates on which apprentices began their service). Also it is possible to see at a glance something of the

110

Page 110
social composition of a particular establishment. Since then this was not to be a transcript so much as an edited calendar, it seemed only logical as well as more economical to combine in a single entry the information provided by the two Registers. In this I have perhaps erred at times. It is usual to find beside the name of an apprentice taking up his freedom the name of the master to whom he was originally bound (even although he may have been long dead); frequently it is the name of the master whom he is serving on (duly recorded) transfer; often it is the widow of his original master, whether or not she is actually carrying on the business (she may even have married again outside the Company and yet still present him); occasionally it is the new husband of the widowed mistress; and sometimes, when two or more names appear together, these may indicate either successive masters or masters in partnership. In all these cases there is a verifiable link, but there are numerous instances of an apprentice being bound to one man and made free by another without there being any such connection. Since there were many unrecorded transfers I have chosen to assume that such an apprentice simply changed his master rather than to make the double assumption that he was bound but never made free and that another apprentice of the same name and at the appropriate time was made free but never bound (although this, I fear, might very well have happened).

Although I have rigorously abbreviated the original entries, apart from a note of the fee paid no actual information has been omitted and some has occasionally been added. The substance of any marginal or foot notes has of course been given. The formula varies little: William Smith son of William Smith (late) of Bottisham in the County of Cambridge Yeoman (deceased) doth put himself an apprentice to William Smith Citizen and Stationer of London for the term of seven years from the feast of Saint Bartholomew next (or last past). In this list then the information and the order in which it is recorded are: (a) Masters, in alphabetical order, and (b) Apprentices, again in alphabetical order, 1. apprentice's Christian and surnames; 2. his father's Christian name, adding (d) if dead; 3. his town or village, and county, of origin; 4. his father's trade; 5. the date of entry in the Register; 6. the date, or the date of the feast day, from which the term of binding runs; 7. the date of freedom, if any; 8. the term of binding in years. The first two items and the name of the town or village are given as they appear in the Register; the remainder are abbreviated. I have not attempted to correct the ascription of counties in the text (some are wrong and some have been made so by altered boundaries),

111

Page 111
but I have consistently altered the legal dating to normal calendar year dating. The numbering of the apprentices is a purely arbitrary device to facilitate indexing; thus the same apprentice may be assigned two different numbers when he is listed under two different masters. Names recurring in a slightly different spelling reflect the variant entries of the two Registers.

A word is necessary about the additional information supplied. Where an apprentice is made free in the period covered but bound before it, I have given the reference to the original entry of binding in Arber's Transcript (as Arber II. 250), and I have also normally completed entries for apprentices bound during the period but made free after it. Cross references are given for apprentices turned over or made free by someone other than the original master. Occasionally I have referred (as Jackson 169) to the Book of Fines or Court-Book C as printed by W. A. Jackson in Records of the Court of the Stationers' Company 1602 to 1640, to "Court-Book B" as printed by E. Boswell and W. W. Greg in Records of the Court of the Stationers' Company 1576 to 1602 (as Greg 73) and to wills (as Plomer, Wills 42) printed by H. R. Plomer in Abstracts from the Wills of English Printers and Stationers from 1492 to 1630. Besides an index of apprentices I have added an index of place-names for the separate counties. Most research into the book trade in this period has understandably been centered on London, but I believe that there is likely to be much information still awaiting discovery in provincial records. In this respect this index to the places of origin of printers' apprentices is not likely to be so useful as one recording the places of origin of booksellers' apprentices, but it will possibly assist those who may wish to delve further into, for example, the educational and social background of printing-house employees.

Finally it should be noted of course that not all the masters listed here were printing for the whole time that they were taking apprentices; that about some there is still doubt whether they ever printed; and that there may just be someone who both printed and took apprentices in the period whom I have inadvertently omitted.

This was the Edward Winslow (not "Winston") made free by Beale 6.7.35 (a note of the freedom was erroneously entered in — and deleted from — the Book of Fines — Jackson 483). It was not at all uncommon for an apprentice to take up his freedom as much as 20 years after being bd.

Notes

 
[*]

I am most grateful to the Master and Wardens of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers for granting me leave to consult their records in order to compile this list and for permission to reproduce it here. I am also much indebted to Mr Cyprian Blagden and Professors Fredson Bowers and Bruce Dickins for their kind help and advice on many points.

[1]

A list of the men who took up their freedoms in the period 1605-1640 was made by C. R. Rivington and printed by Arber in vol. III of his Transcrip. It is not altogether reliable, however, and omits the names of masters presenting the apprentices.
