A Tale of a Tub
The "Tale" was originally published in 1704 by John Nutt. Swift had used Benjamin Tooke previously when publishing for Sir William Temple. He would use Tooke for both the fifth edition of the "Tale" (1710) and later works. Tooke's successor, Benjamin Motte, published Swift's "Gulliver's Travels". This difference in printer is only one of the things that led to debate over authorship of the work.
Richard Pue
The date and place of Richard Pue's birth is unknown. He established Dick's Coffee House, Skinner Row, Dublin sometime before July 1698. Pue became a freeman of Dublin in 1701 as a member of the Dyers' Guild. On 25 December 1703 he began publishing "Impartial Occurrences" with Edward Lloyd. This paper was delivered by post across the country, with Pue acting as editor until 1706. The paper ceased in February 1706, reappearing in February 1712 as "Pue's Occurences" (sic). In late December 1705, Lloyd and Pue jointly published a satirical attack on protestant dissent by Jonathan Swift called "A tale of a tub". They also printed the "Votes of the Irish house of commons" (nos 1-65) between July and October 1707 and May and June 1709.
