JONES (RICHARD), printer and bookseller in London, 1564-1602. (1) Tbe Little Shop adjoining to the North-west Door of St. Paul's Church; (2) The Spread Eagle in the upper end of Fleet Lane; (3) Under the Lottery House; (4) At his shop joyning to the South-west Door of St. Paul's Church, 1571; (5) At the West end of St. Paul's Church, between the Brazen Pillar and Lollards' Tower; (6) Dwelling over against St. Sepulchre's Church without Newgate, 1576-80; (7) At the Rose and Crown, over against the Falcon, near unto Holborn Bridge without Newgate, 1581-1602. There is no record as to what stationer Richard Jones, or Johnes, served his apprenticeship with. He was admitted into the brotherhood of the Company of Stationers on August 7th, 1564 [Arber, i. p. 278]. On one or two occasions he was fined for offences such as stitching books and printing and publishing privileged books; but on the whole he appears to have been an orderly member. Throughout the thirty-eight years of his business life he dealt largely in ballads, and he also printed and published much other curious literature, most of it of a popular character. He was for a time in partnership with William Hill {father HILL, William ‹ LBT 07740 ›; son HILL, William ‹ LBT 07742 › }, and Sir John Lambe in his notes on the printers stated that they sold the business in 1598 to William White { WHITE, William ‹ LBT 07925 › } [Arber, iii. 702]. Mr. Arber in the Index to his Transcripts gives the latest date at which Jones was in business as 1602, but the Registers record an entry to Richard Jones, of two ballads on March 19th, 1610/1 [Arber, iii. 456]. This is perhaps a mistake of the clerk's in the Christian name as nothing known to have been printed or published by this J ones is found after 1602.
