John Darby (printer)
John Darby (d. 1704) was an English printer.
He was associated with the Whigs and printed many works by Whig authors.[1] These included Andrew Marvell's An Account of the Growth of Popery and Arbitrary Government in 1677-1678 and during the rest of the Exclusion Crisis he helped keep Whig arguments in circulation.[2] Other notable works that came off his press include Algernon Sidney's Discourses Concerning Government and Edmund Ludlow's Memoirs.[3][4]
