Sarum. Printed & Sold by Benjn. Collins, Printer, on the New Canal. Above is a coat of arms of the city. William Naish is believed to be brother of Thomas who surveyed the river map (see below). He had been a surgeon's mate in the Royal Navy and later opened a apothecary's shop in Salisbury. He was also Assistant Surveyor of the Fabric of Salisbury Cathedral. Benjamin Collins was a nationally known 18th century publisher who published first editions of William Goldsmith and other well known writers. He was the brother of William Collins, who re-started the Salisbury Journal in 1729. Both brothers were associated with it from that date and when William died in 1740 Benjamin took it over, invigorated it, and it became one of the great regional newspapers. Benjamin severed his connection with the Journal in 1775 and died in 1785.
