GOSSON (HENRY), bookseller in London, 1601-40; (1) The Sun, Paternoster Row, 1603-9; (2) London Bridge, near to the Gate, 1608-40; (3) Catherine Wheel Alley, 1613; (4) Pannier Alley, ? 1615-22. One of the sons of Thomas Gosson { GOSSON, Thomas ( - 1598) ‹ LBT 08293 › }, admitted a freeman of the Company of Stationers, "per patrimonium" and presented by his mother Alice Gosson { GOSSON, Alice ‹ LBT 05408 › }, widow, on August 3rd, 1601 [Arber, ii. 730]. He entered his first book on May 18th, 1603 [Arber, iii. 36]. Dealt extensively in popular literature such as ballads, broadsides, newsbooks, romances and jest books. His last entry occurs on July 26th, 1640 [Arber, iv. 516]. From The Last Terrible Tempestious Winds, 1613, sig. C2v, it appears that at that date he dwelt in Catherine Wheel Alley, but this address does not appear on his publications.
