Notes & Queries "London Booksellers Series" (1931–2)
CROKATT, JAMES. This bookseller can be added to the list. I have one of his book-labels which gives his address "at the Golden Key, near ye Inner Temple Gate, Fleet Street." His name appears on an imprint dated 1727 and Hilton Price records him here from 1731 to 1792! Timperley speaks of a Mr. James Crokat in Fleet Street who published 'A Universal History' in seven volumes, which appeared between 1740 and 1744; a second edition was brought out in 1747, and it was re-issued in 1787.
