LEIGH (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1602-3. Son of Nicholas Leigh of Asheton Moore, co. Cumberland, yeoman; apprentice to John Asheton { ASHTON, John ‹ LBT 28336 › }, stationer, for seven years from October 2nd, 1587 [Arber, ii. 148]. Took up his freedom on October 29th, 1594 [Arber, ii. 714]. On July 1st, 1602, he entered in the Registers An Introduction to wrytinge [Arber, iii. 209], and in 1603 An Easye plaine waye to learne to read, but this latter work was crossed out as it was found that the copyright belonged to others [Arber, iii. 225]. Nothing more is known of him.
