BARKER (BENJAMIN), bookseller in London, (1) White Hart, Westminster Hall; (2) Judge's Head in Westminster Hall. 1701-14. Dealer in general literature. In 1701 he advertised Advice to the Sceptick [T.C. III. 239]; and in 1702 he published Three discourses of Sir Walter Raleigh. He also held a share in Moll's Atlas Geographus, 1709. At the end of J. A. Dubourdieu's sermon preached at Chelmsford Assizes, July 15th, 1714, is a list of eight other books published by Barker and C. King { KING, Charles ‹ LBT 14808 › } at the Judge's Head.
MLT Note: Benjamin Barker (LBT/19684) was first apprenticed to Charles King, bookseller, of Westminster Hall before being turned-over to his father [also Benjamin Barker] who was a Citizen & Haberdasher. Plomer, 1668-1725, p.20 lists a Benjamin Barker, bookseller, apparently in partnership with a C.King at this address. It has been assumed that the elder Barker was the Haberdasher (LBT/02613). The entries in Plomer, H.R. &c. (1922) and that in Plomer, H.R. &c. (1932) appear to be conflating the father and son. ---
