COMBES (JOHN), (?) bookseller in London, ? 1604-? 16. This stationer was admitted to the freedom {by redemption} of the Company on April 27th, 1604 [Arber, ii. 737], and in the same year he is found taking an apprentice [Arber, ii. 281). In 1605, Combes was one of those who became suitors to the Company for Master Wright's { } privilege [Arber, iii. 698). His name also occurs amongst those who held shares in the Latin stock; but no book has been found with his name as publisher, and his address is unknown.
