MLT Note: Plomer - "Held a share in the King's Printing Office, ---" "In a contemporary record it is said that Mark Baskett neither understood nor gave any attention to the business of printing, leaving the care of it to his servants, who were a set of idle and drunken men, and that his printing-house was more like an ale-house. [Add.MS.6880]." ---
