LINLEY (PAUL), bookseller in London, 1586-1600; The Black Bear, St. Paul's Churchyard. Son of William Lynley of Lillingston Darell, co. Bucks. Apprentice for ten years to William Ponsonby { PONSONBY, William ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08175 › } from August 6th, 1576 [Arber, ii. 66]. Took up his freedom May 16th, 1586 [Arber, ii. 696]. Nothing more is heard of him until 1595, when with John Flaskett { FLASKET, John ‹ LBT 07438 › } he succeeded to the business of Thomas Woodcock { WOODCOCK, Thomas ( - 1594) ‹ LBT 07167 › }, at the Black Bear in St. Paul's Churchyard, Woodcock's copyrights being transferred to him in the following February [Arber, iii. 48]. Linley and Flaskett apparently had a good connection, as amongst their customers was the Duke of Northumberland, who in 1596 bought books of them to the value of £21 [Hist. MSS. Comm., 6th Report, Appendix, p. 226, etc.]. Linley died between March 17th and April 14th, 1600. By his will he directed that all his goods and chattells which he jointly possessed with John Flaskett should be divided into four parts, one part being left to his mother and another part to Gabriel Cawood { CAWOOD, Gabriel ( - 1602) ‹ LBT 07091 › } and Edward Blunt or Blount { BLOUNT, Edward (1564 - ) ‹ LBT 08253 › }, stationers [Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, Book C, f. 92]. His copyrights were transferred to John Flaskett on June 26th, 1600 [Arber, ii. 164, 165].
