BROWNE (JOHN), senior, bookseller and bookbinder in London, 1598-1622; (1) The Bible, Fleet Street; (2) The "Shugerloafe," against the Whitefriars, Fleet Street; (3) St. Dunstan's Churchyard, Fleet Street; (4) Little Britain, Son of John Browne of Reading, Berks, mercer. Apprentice to Ralph Newbery { NEWBERRY, Ralph ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08123 › }, stationer, for nine years from Michaelmas, 1586 [Arber, ii. 142]. Took up his freedom on August 5th, 1594 [Arber, ii. 714]. First book entry in the Registers in April, 1598 [Arber, iii. 112]. Dealt in all kinds of literature, cookery books, jest books, works on husbandry and household management, masques, plays, and music. Amongst the most notable of his publications were John Davies of Hereford's Witt's Pilgrimage, 1605, Thomas Ford's Musick of sundry kinds, 1607, Nicholas Breton's Poste with a Packet of Madde Letters, 1609, the anonymous No whippinge nor trippinge but a kind friendly snippinge, 1601, John Murrell's Book of Cookery, 1614, and Ladies Practice, 1617. He also held a share in Drayton's Polyolbion. He is also probably identical with the John Browne of Little Britain, who published the various Dictionaries compiled by John Minsheu, on the titlepages of which he is also referred to as a "bookbinder," but, as there was another John Browne { ? BROWN(E), John ‹ LBT 07788 › } in London in 1617, it is difficult to say which is referred to. His will was proved on October l0th, 1622. He left two sons, Thomas and Samuel { BROWN(E), Samuel (bap. 1611 - ) ‹ LBT 10714 › } [P.C.C., 92, Saville]. In February of the following year, his widow, Alice Browne { BROWN(E), Alice ‹ LBT 03205 › }, transferred the remainder of his copyrights to John Marriott { MARRIOTT, John ( - 1661) ‹ LBT 10180 › } [Arber, iv. 92].
