ALBYN or ALBINE (SAMUEL), bookseller in London, 1621-8; Near the Six Clerks' Office, Chancery Lane. Son of Hugh Albyn or Albine of Wanstrowe, Somerset. Apprentice to Richard Serger { SERGER, Richard ‹ LBT 07669 › } for nine years from Christmas, 1601 [Arber, ii. 261]. Took up his freedom December 10th, 1610 [Arber, iii. 683]. In 1621 Albyn published the third edition of a poem entitled, The Passion of a discontented mind, erroneously attributed to Nicholas Breton [B.M. 1076. i. 20]. He is mentioned in a list of second hand booksellers who, in 1628, were ordered to submit catalogues of their books to the Archbishop of Canterbury [Dom. S. Papers, Chas. I, Vol. 117. (9)]. He appears to have succeeded to the business formerly kept by John Bailey { BAYLYE, John ‹ LBT 07814 › } [q.v.].
