​ATKINSON (HENRY), bookseller in London; Staple Inn Gate in Holborn, 1642–59. Took up his freedom October 3rd, 1631 [Arber, iii. 686]. Amongst his publications was Richard Kilburne's Brief survey of the County of Kent, 1657.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Austin, or Austen (Robert)

​AUSTIN, or AUSTEN (ROBERT), printer in London, (1) Old Bailey, 1643; (2) Addlehill, Thames Street, 1649–50. 1642–56. Took up his freedom November 7th, 1636. [Arber, iii. 688.] He is chiefly worthy of notice as the printer of Geoige Wither's Campo-Musa, 1643, and the same author's Vox Pacifica in 1645. In 1643, in company with Andrew Coe, he printed some numbers of a news-sheet entitled A Perfect Diurnal of the Passages in Parliament. There was another publication bearing a very similar title, A Perfect Diurnall of some Passages in Parliament, of which Francis Coles and Lawrence Blacklock were the publishers. Both claimed precedency, but the Stationers' Company apparently refused to recognise the Perfect Diurnal of Austin and Coe, as no entry of it is found in the registers, whereas that of Coles and Blacklock was regularly entered and continued to run for several years. Austin was also interested in other news-sheets. On November 3rd, 1643, he started Informator Rusticus, or The Country Intelligencer, which does not seem to have got beyond its first ​issue. In the following January he began another, entitled Occurrences of certain speciall and remarkable passers in Parliament and the affaires of the Kingdome, which was still in existence in 1646.

Was probably a native of Durham, as on October 29th, 1650, he took as an apprentice Richard Baddeley, son of Richard Baddeley of that city. [Stationers' Company Register of Apprenticeships, 1603–66.] He published a Letter to a Gentleman in the Country, 1653, attributed to John Milton. [Masson's Life of Milton, vol. 4, p. 520.]

​ASTON (JOHN), bookseller in London; Cat-eaten-streete (Cheapside, renamed in 1845 Gresham Street), at the signe of the Bul's Head, 1637–42. Took up his freedom February 6th, 1637 [Arber, iii. 688], in which ​year he published Thomas Heywood's True Description of His Majesties Royall Ship Built this Year 1637 at Woollwitch in Kent. 4to.; and a satire on women called A Curtaine Lecture, 1637. 12°. In 1641 he was imprisoned for a short time for printing the Preamble with the protestation made by the whole House of Commons, 3 May, 1641. [b.m. 669, f. 3 (2), Commons Journals.]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Atkyns (Richard)

​ATKYNS (RICHARD), patentee of law books, 1639-77. The printing of books of common law was created a monopoly by letters patent, granted by King Edward VI to Richard Tottel, and renewed to him by Queen Elizabeth (January 12th, 1 Eliz.). After his death, i.e., on March 20th, 1593/4 it was granted to C. Yetsweirt for thirty years. He only enjoyed it for a short time, and at his death, in 1598, the reversion was granted to Thomas Wight and Bonham Norton, for the remainder of the term. They, however, surrendered it in consideration of a new grant which was made on March 10th, 1598/9, for thirty years [Patent Rolls, 41 Eliz., 4th part]. That patent expired on March 10th, 1628. It was no doubt put up to the highest bidder, and was next granted by James I (January 19th, 15 James I) to John More, Esquire, for forty years. A few months afterwards More assigned his printing rights to Miles Fletcher, q.v., and his partners, John Haviland and Robert Young, for an annuity of £60 and a third of the profits. John More died August 17th, 1638, leaving this annuity, etc., to his daughter Martha, then the wife of Richard Atkyns, who thus became patentee by right of his wife. Miles Fletcher attempted to evade paying this legacy, and in 1639 purchased the stock and premises of Charles More, son of John More, for a sum of £930, and subsequently sold his rights to the Company of Stationers. But Atkyns and his wife brought an action against Fletcher and the Company in the Court of Chancery. The outbreak of the Civil War stopped the case, but at the Restoration they re-commenced proceedings, and were successful. Miles Fletcher being held to have bought of Charles More wrongfully, and being compelled to pay up all arrears up to 1643, and since the Restoration, to Richard Atkyns and ​his wife. [P.R.O. Chan. Proc Before 1715. Reynardson, Bund. 31, 126.] At one time Henry Twyford and John Streator, q.v., were two of the assigns of R. Atkyns, whose name does not appear in any law book before 1677. Richard Atkyns is chiefly remembered as the author of a work entitled The Origin and Growth of Printing, 1664, in which he put forward the theory that the art of printing was introduced into England and begun at Oxford by a certain Frederick Corsellis in 1468, and that the Exposicio sancti Jeronimi was printed by him. This story has long since been proved to be unfounded, and the date in the Exposicio has been proved to the satisfaction of all bibliographers to be a misprint for 1478. Atkyns subsequently fell into distress, partly, it is believed, by the vagaries and extravagances of his wife, and was committed to the Marshalsea for debt. He died without issue on September 14th, 1677, and was buried in the church of St. George the Martyr, Southwark. [D.N.B.]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Badger (Thomas)

​BADGER (THOMAS), printer in London; (?) Lucrece without Newgate, over against St. Sepulchre's Church (the printing house of the Purfoots), 1639-46. Son of Richard Badger. Printed as the assign of Thomas Purfoot the second, and on that printer's death in 1639 was elected a master printer in his place, and in all probability took over the old printing office as it stood. He was certainly in possession of the types, initial letters, and ornaments used by the Purfoots. Amongst the notable books that came from his press was James Howell's Dodona's Grove, 1640, and Sir H. Vere's Elegies, 1642. [Domestic State Papers, Charles I, vol. 446 (54); Arber, iii. 702.]

His name occurs on the following broadside: A List of the names of such persons who are thought fit for their accommodation, and the furtherance of the service in Ireland, to be entertained as reformadoes, [Bibl.

Was probably a relation of Richard Badger and Thomas Badger. His widow married Theodore Crowley. [Stationers' Registers, Liber F, p. 160.] Both the addresses given above relate to the same house, which had previously been in the possession of H. Taunton, stationer.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Badger (Richard)

​BADGER (RICHARD), printer in London; (?) White Swan, at the foot of Addling Hill, near Baynard's Castle, 1602–42. According to the entry in the Registers of the Company of Stationers, Richard Badger was the son of John Badger, of Stratford-upon-Avon. [Arber, ii. 261.] The parish registers of the town do not confirm this, the only entries of a Richard Badger being Richard, son to George Badger, born September 14th, 1580, and another son of the same name, born August 17th, 1585. There is no mention in the Registers of any son born to a John Badger. [Stratford-on-Avon Parish Registers, Parish Register Society, 1897.] R. Badger came to London and was apprenticed to Peter Short, a printer, on March 25th, 1602, for eight years, and took up his freedom in April, 1610. He then joined George Miller, q.v., another Stratford man, who had succeeded to the printing business of Richard Field, also a native of Stratford, and the printer of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis and Lucrece. How long he remained with Miller is unknown, but Sir John Lambe states that about 1630 Richard Badger succeeded to the printing office formerly kept by Valentine Simmes. [Arber, iii. pp. 699–704.] Badger was admitted a master printer on June 12th, 1629, and in 1639 spoke of himself as ​"printer to the Prince his Highness." He was also spoken of as printer to Archbishop Laud, for whom he is said to have printed "Bibles with superstitious pictures'* [True Informer, No. 34, June 8th, 1644.] Timperley (p. 488) mentions a copy of Laud's speech at the trial of Bastwick as printed on vellum by Richard Badger. He had a good assortment of letter, and his workmanship was far above the average. Amongst his devices is found the "Anchora Spei," successively used by T. Vautrollier, R. Field, and Geoige Miller. The date of his death is unknown, but he had a son, Thomas Badger, and he was also probably related to George Badger.

​BAILEY, BALEY, or BAILY (THOMAS), bookseller in London; (?) Middle Row, neer Staple Inn, Holborn, 1617–42. Published the Earle of Essex his speech in the Artilrie garden, July 28th, 1642. 4°. [E 200. (54).] Is probably identical with the bookseller in Middle Row, Holborn, who in 1634 had published a second edition of Samuel Rowland's Night Raven.

​JOHNSON, F.R.S. (Captain, 1838. f-p., 13; h-p., 27.)
Edward John Johnson is youngest son of the late Rev. Henry Johnson, of Bywell, Northumberland.
This officer entered the Navy, 1 May, 1807, as Fst-cl. Vol., on board the Nassau 64, Capt. Robt. Campbell. In that ship he attended the ensuing expedition to Copenhagen, and (on her subsequent extrication from a mass of ice in which she had been blocked up during the whole winter) was present, 22 March, 1808, in company with the Stately 64, at the capture and destruction, on the coast of Zealand, of the Danish 74 Prindts Christian Frederic, after a running fight of great length and obstinacy, in which the Nassau sustained a loss of 2 men killed and 16 (including himself slightly) wounded. The latter vessel being paid off in Nov. 1809, he was next, until June, 1815, employed, as Midshipman and Acting-Lieutenant, in the Solebay 32, Capt. Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, Malacca 36, Capt. Wm. Butterfield, Ethalion 36, Capt. Edm. Heywood, Endymion 44, Capt. Henry Hope, St. Domingo, Asia, and Tonnant, flag-ships of Sir John Borlase Warren and Sir Alex. Cochrane, and Dragon 74, Capt. Robt. Barrie, on the Home, Baltic, and North American stations. While in the Ethalion, Mr. Johnson served in various cutting-out affairs, and on more than one occasion was sent into port as prize-master; and, when in the Tonnant, we find him co-operating on shore in the attacks upon Washington and Baltimore, and employed in the boats during the expedition against New Orleans. Being presented, on leaving the Dragon as above, with a commission dated 28 Feb. 1815, he obtained, 16 May, 1818, an appointment to the Shamrock surveying-vessel, Capt. Martin White, with whom he did duty in the Channel and off the coast of Ireland until Feb. 1820. On 4 March, 1829, shortly after he had joined the William and Mary yacht. Commodore Sir John Chambers White, he was promoted to the command of the Britomart 10, in which vessel he remained, chiefly on the Lisbon station, until paid off in 1831. He was then ordered by the Admiralty to complete the survey of the Faeröe Islands – a service he had commenced at his own expense when last on half-pay. His advancement to the rank he now holds took place 27 Dec. 1838.
Capt. Johnson, in Oct. 1835, was appointed by the Admiralty to conduct certain magnetic experiments on iron steam-vessels in the river Shannon; and on 10 May, 1836, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was nominated a member of the Magnetic Compass Committee of the Admiralty in 1838; and invested, 14 March, 1842, with the superintendence, which he still retains, of the Compass department of the Royal Navy. Agent – Fred. Dufaiar.
