ADAMS (RICHARD), bookseller in London, 1559-79. Was apparently one of Richard Kele's apprentices, as he was presented for his freedom some time between July 10th, 1558, and July 10th, 1559, by John Wetherall, one of Richard Kele's executors [Arber, i. 98]. In the same year Richard Adams was fined for printing Thomas Brice's Compendious register in metre without license [Arber, i. 101]. The last entry under his name in the Registers occurs on June 26th, 1579 [Arber, ii. 354]. His address is unknown.
