William Dugdale

A Checklist by Year of Books Published Between 1822-1867

Copyright © 2006 Sheryl Perry



Dugdale's publishing career spans from at least 1822 until 1867 with long spans of what appears to be inactivity after 1828. Because Dugdale was incarcerated many times during his life this may explain the inactivity...or at least partially explain. I have also included in the checklist those few works published by William's brother John since it's possible they were publishing as a team as opposed to working independantly of each other. Those works without a known date of publication are listed at the end of the checklist.

Titles with an asterisk (*) are in Ashbee and/or Mendes.

Oct. 2023 - Many thanks to Patrick Kearney for his assistance in the update to this checklist!
