Further Notes

Assistant - Greg (p.xxiii) thought it "reasonable to suppose" that most of those men who became Assistants between 1576 and 1602 without evidence of direct election did so by virtue of their election as Under Warden and cites Cawood as a case in point, though he mistakenly gives the date of Cawood's re-election in 1590 rather than of his initial election in Jul 1589. ---

CAWOOD (GABRIEL), bookseller in London, 1576-1602; Holy Ghost, St. Paul's Churchyard. Second son of John Cawood { CAWOOD, John (1514 - 1572) ‹ LBT 07101 › }, printer. Came on the Livery of the Stationers' Company, July 30th, 1578, and served in the office of Renter in 1586, as Under Warden in 1589 and 1590, Upper Warden in 1593-4, and Master in 1597 and 1599. His first book entry was made on December 10th, 1576, and his last on June 26th, 1598 [Arber, ii. 306, iii. 120]. Amongst his copyrights were John Lyly's Euphues, printed for him by Thomas East { EAST, Thomas (1540 - 1608) ‹ LBT 07395 › } in 1579, 1580 and 1581, and Thomas Watson's Hekatompathia, printed for him by John Wolf { WOLFE, John ‹ LBT 07327 › } in 1582. Gabriel Cawood died before July 2nd, 1602, when his copyrights were transferred to W. Leake { LEAKE, William ( - 1633) ‹ LBT 07160 › }, senior [Arber, iii. 210].
