BROWNE (JOHN), junior, bookseller and (?) bookbinder in London, 1612-28; Little Britain. Admitted freeman of the Company of Stationers on July 2nd, 1605 [Arber, ii. 739]. His first book entry, a pamphlet concerning the burning of some witches abroad, was made on September 26th, 1612. He perhaps published John Minsheu's Dictionaries in 1617 [see John Browne, senior { BROWN(E), John ( - 1622) ‹ LBT 08125 › }]. He was no doubt identical with the John Browne mentioned in John Gee's Foot Out of the Snare, 1624, as a disperser of popish books, and also with the bookseller of that name who is mentioned in 1628 in a list of those who were ordered to submit catalogues of their books to the Archbishop of Canterbury [Dom. S. Papers, Chas. I, Vol.117 (9)].
