Notes

Based at 11 Cumberland Street, Middlesex Hospital. Sometimes worked in partnership with W. Oxberry.

Seale was a millenarian and L.C.S. activist and printer who became one of Thomas Spence’s two main printers with John Smith (1803–14). In 1804, he was convicted for printing 'Are you Right?' (1803), a handbill protesting the execution of the Irish revolutionary, Edward Despard. As well as publishing radical texts and broadsides, he also published religious tracts by R. Brothers and Joanna Southcott.
