HARRISON (JOHN II), the younger, bookseller in London, 1579-1617; The Golden Anchor in Paternoster Row. Believed to have been half brother to John Harrison the eldest { HARRISON, John ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 07614 › }, to whom he was apprenticed for eight years from Christmas, 1561 [Arber, i. 171]. He became free of the Company on October 17th, 1569 [Arber, i. 419], and was taken into the Livery in 1584-5 [Arber, i. 508]. John Harrison the younger's first book entry in the Registers was made on June 15th, 1579 [Arber, ii. 353]. He was constantly breaking the rules and orders of the Company and was fined on several occasions for infringing other men's copyrights [Arber, ii. 828, 829, 854]. His most notable achievement in this direction was the part he played in the publication of Waldegrave's { WALGRAVE, Robert ( - 1604) ‹ LBT 07564 › } pirated edition of Sidney's Arcadia in 1599. One of the witnesses declared that John Harrison the younger had brought some of the pirated copies from Edinburgh "by sea." Harrison afterwards confessed to having had five pounds' worth of the stock, and this was probably below the mark [Library, March, 1900, p. 199]. John Harrison junior was elected Junior Warden of the Company in July, 1612 [Arber, iii. 491]. He died in 1618, his will being proved on August l0th in that year. He left four sons, John { HARRISON, John ( - 1652) ‹ LBT 07643 › }, Philip { HARRISON, Phillip ‹ LBT 07645 › }, Josias { HARRISON, Josias ‹ LBT 07644 › } and Benjamin, the three first being all freemen of the Stationers' Company [Plomer, Wills, p. 50].
