Thomas Millington (publisher)
Thomas Millington (fl. 1591–1603) was a London publisher of the Elizabethan era, who published first editions of three Shakespearean plays. He has been called a "stationer of dubious reputation"〔F. E. Halliday, ''A Shakespeare Companion 1564–1964,'' Baltimore, Penguin, 1964; p. 317.〕 who was connected with some of the "bad quartos" and questionable texts of Shakespearean bibliography.〔Laurie E. Maguire, ''Shakespearean Suspect Texts: The "Bad" Quartos and Their Contexts,'' Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1996; pp. 17, 87 and ff.〕
==Life and work==
He was the son of a William Millington, a "husbandman" of Hamptongay, Oxfordshire, and was apprenticed to a Henry Carre for a period of eight years, beginning on St. Bartholomew's Day (24 August) in 1583. Thomas Millington became a "freeman" (full member) of the Stationers Company on 8 November 1591. For a time he was in partnership with fellow guild member Edward White; their shop was located, and their title pages specify, "at the little north door of Paul's at the sign of the Gun."
Millington's business was at the lower end of the publishing scale in Elizabethan England; he printed many ballads, including some by Thomas Deloney. In 1595 he published ''The Norfolk Tragedy'', a ballad based on the story of Babes in the Wood. During the mid-1590s Millington was fined three times by his guild, for issuing ballads to which he did not own the rights and similar small offenses.〔Joseph Ames, ''Typographical Antiquities,'' London, 1790 edition; Vol. 3, p. 1379.〕
