THOMASON, GEORGE (d. 1666)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 868 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THOMASON, GEORGE (d. 1666) ,
English
  book and
tract
  collector, was a London bookseller, whose
life
  contains few items of
interest
  save the fact that he was concerned in a royalist
plot
  in 1651. He is famous, however, as the man who brought together the
great
  collection of books and tracts published during the time of the Civil War and the
Commonwealth
 ; this was formerly called the " King's Pamphlets," but is now known as the " Thomason Collection." During the years just before she outbreak of war a
great
  number of writings covering every phase of the questions in dispute between king and people were issued, and in 1641 Thomason began to collect these. Working diligently at his task for about twenty years, he possessed nearly 23,000
separate
  publications in 1662, and having arranged these in chronological order he had them bound in 1983 volumes. After many vicissitudes the collection was bought in 1761 from his descendants by George III., who presented it to the British Museum, where it now is (see
NEWSPAPERS
 ). Thomason died in London in
April
  (1666).
