William London

[1][2] The full title of London's English bibliography was A Catalogue of the most vendible Books in England orderly and alphabetically digested … the like Work never yet performed by any.

London arranged his titles under headings: Divinity, History, Physic and Chirurgerie, Law, Romances, Poems, Plays, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

In 1660 he brought out A Catalogue of New Books by way of Supplement to the former, being such as have been printed from that time till Easter Term, 1660, London, 31 May 1660.

[2] There had been earlier book lists in England, but one way in which London innovated was by including titles at full length.

[1] In 1663 Francis Hawkins issued a new edition of his Youths Behaviour, with a glossary entry "Catalogue: a roule of names, or register, a cataloging of Books which Mr. London, bookseller of Newcastle, hath published."
