BOURNE (NICHOLAS), bookseller in London; South entrance, Royal Exchange [Cornhill], 1601-57. Son of Henry Bourne, citizen and cordwainer of London, put himself apprentice to Cuthbert Burby { BURBY, Cuthbert ( - 1607) ‹ LBT 08823 › }, bookseller, for seven years from March 25th, 1601. Burby died between August 24th and September 16th, 1607, and by his will left Nicholas Bourne the offer of his stock on favourable terms and gave him the lease of the premises in Cornhill in consideration of his true and faithful service. Mistress Burby {Elizabeth BURBY, Elizabeth (mar. TURNER) ‹ LBT 03306 › } assigned over her late husband's copyrights to Nicholas Bourne on October 16th, 1609. These consisted mainly of theological works, and we have it on the evidence of John Bellamy { BELLAMY, John ( - 1654) ‹ LBT 09508 › }, one of his apprentices, that he would not allow them to sell play-books [see A Justification of the City Remonstrance and its Vindication, E. 350. (23).] Nicholas Bourne was Master of the Company in 1643 and again in 1651. He died in 1657. [Plomer, Wills, p. 42.] A list of 58 books, etc., printed for him occurs at the end of Robert Witbie's Popular Errours, 1651, 8°. [B.M. E. 1227.] It contains a few works relating to English trade and fishery rights.
MLT Note: 24 Aug 1607 - described by Cuthbert Burby (LBT/08823) as his servant. ---
