  Son of Richard Norton, yeoman of Billingsley in Shropshire, and nephew of William Norton, stationer of London, he served his apprenticeship under his uncle. About 1587 he set up in Edinburgh. In 1589 he obtained, with Andro Hart, the privilege of importing books free of custom, and a further licence to the same effect 25 June 1591. In February 1592 seven Edinburgh booksellers appealed to the Town Council against Norton and Edmond Wats, his servant, for usurping the liberty of the burgh by retailing books in 'ane opin chalmer upoun the foregaitt,' and they were ordered to desist from selling 'in smallis'. Upon the death of Wats, about 1596, Norton gave up his Edinburgh business, and sold the books and debts to Edward Cathkin and A. Hart. His will was proved 12 January 1613.

• OGSTOUN [OGSTON], Alexander bookbinder and stationer Edinburgh
  Edinburgh 1678-84
  In the Parliament Close 1685-90
  On 13 February 1680, Ogstoun became a Burgess and Guild Brother 'being well commended by H.M. Advocate and many of the College of Justice, and likely also to be useful to the good toun' and on 16 April he married Martha Stevenson. In 1683 Alexander Ogstoun and George Mosman were employed in binding books for the newly formed library of the Faculty of Advocates. In the accounts for the 14th of February appears the entry 'By money peyed to Alexr Oigstoun bookbinder for binding ane parcell of the ffaculties books as per accompt order and receipt 0200.16.0 By money peyed to George Mosman bookbinder for ditto George Mosman 0219.02.00' Faculty Records 40 folio A3. The National Library still has three volumes of Gesner's Historia Animalium 1551-5, given to the Advocates Library by the two grateful bookbinders. They are inscribed 'Hunc Librum cum duobus fratribus Alexr Oigstoun, et Georgius Mosman ffacultatis juridicae Bibliopeg: peritissimi Bibliothecae faculatis predict' dono dederunt'. Unfortunately the volumes have been rebound. John Reid worked for him as a journeyman in 1686. In 1688 he was threatened for selling anti-popish books, and in the same year Mrs Anderson seized some octavo Bibles he had imported from London (Fountainhall ii,852,866). He died in 1690, was buried at the North side of Greyfriars Churchyard on 29 March, and was succeeded in the business by his widow. Two of his four children Alexander and James seem also to have been bookbinders. His name also appears in the imprints of seven books between 1685 and 1688.

  William Oliphant was the son of William Oliphant, bookseller and Mary Irvine. He was born on 14 January 1807; educated at Edinburgh High School and Edinburgh University. He learnt the trade with his father, and afterwards for a year with Mr Curry of Dublin. In 1831 he went into partnership with his father. He married, in 1841, Martha, only daughter of James Marshall, merchant of Glasgow, but they had no children. After the death of his father in 1842, and of his younger brother, Walter, who had also entered the business, in 1846, he remained sole partner in the business until about 1858. At that point his own ill-health caused him to take two partners [perhaps Robert Anderson and J.S. Ferrier]. He was interested in science, and was Secretary and Treasurer at different times of The Royal Physical Society. He also was a Justice of the Peace for the City of Edinburgh.

  Burgess as apprentice to James Robertson printer, Horse Wynd, 20 March 1817. Archives of Oliver & Boyd in NLS. Thomas Oliver (1776-1853), apprentice compositor to James Robertson, printer, Horsewynd, was a witness at the trial of Walter Berry and James Robertson for publishing a seditious libel in 1792; In 1801 he took George Boyd (died 1843) into partnership. Their catalogues from 1811 to 1841 show them selling juvenile books at a halfpenny, penny, twopence, threepence, fourpence and sixpence and upwards to half-a-crown. They also printed and sold abridged histories in fancy covers and songbooks. The juvenile series up to twopence, at least, were numbered, and some of the twopenny ones have lists of the series on the back cover. Unfortunately nothing under sixpence was listed under title in the firms wholesale catalogues until 1827. From that date the twopenny series is listed. The threepeny series was discontinued in 1818, the fourpenny in 1835, and all cease after 1841. The archives of Oliver and Boyd are on deposit in the National Library of Scotland. Apprentices: Hugh Sinclair, printer, Burgess 28 August 1828; John Thomson, printer, of Elbe Street, Leith, apprenticed 12 October 1812, Burgess 15 September 1840.
