== Introduction ==
<div style="width:90ch;">
Robert Lownes was a bookseller in London active in the early seventeenth century. He was bound as an apprentice to Thomas Clerk on 1 November 1604 and gained his freedom from the Stationers' Company on 4 November 1611, presented by Benjamin Cowper. Lownes was documented as a bookseller between 1611 and 1615, and in 1614/5 he entered a play called The Valiant Welchman. He was the son of Robert Lownes of Winslow in Buckinghamshire and may have been the father of Richard Lownes, from whom eighteenth-century booksellers of that name descended.
