FISHER (BENJAMIN), bookseller in London, 1621-37; The Talbot, Aldersgate Street. Took up his freedom July 15th, 1622 [Arber, iii. 685]. First book entry, a theological work, on July 16th, 1622 [Arber, iv. 75]. On April 30th, 1623, he took over from John White { ? WHITE, John ‹ LBT 09221 › } several of the writings of Hugh Broughton [Arber, iv. 95]. Amongst his publications were Abraham Darcye's True Historie of Q. Elizabeth's reign, 1624, Capt. John Smith's Accidence or pathway to experience necessarye for all young sea men, 1626, Thomas May's History of the reign of K. Henry II, 1632, and Heywood and Brome's play of The late Lancashire Witches, 1634. On August 12th, 1635, he acquired a very large number of copyrights that had belonged to Thomas Man { MAN, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07630 › }, Paul Man { MAN, Paul ‹ LBT 10403 › } and Jonah Man { MAN, Jonas ‹ LBT 10415 › }. The entries fill nearly two pages of the Register [Arber, iv. 345]. These he assigned to Robert Young under a mortgage on March 27th, 1637. In 1628 he was mentioned in a list of dealers in second hand books who were required to send a catalogue to the Archbishop of Canterbury [Dom. S. Papers, Chas. I, vol. 117, (9)].
