Ebenezer Cobham —, compiler of an 1870 Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (6)

I believe the answer is:

brewer

(Other definitions for brewer that I've seen before include "Beer-maker" , "Ale manufacturer" , "Maker of beer etc" , "Reference" , "Maker of beer - "Phrase and Fable" dictionary editor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
