JAMES (YARATH), bookseller in London. 1581-91; Newgate Market, over against Christ Church Gate. Mr. Arber has included this name, but prints it in different type, as that of one who was not a stationer. But he was clearly a bookseller, and not only published several ballads, but was concerned with others in the piracy of John Day's { DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 › } A B C, etc., and was included in the action brought by Richard Day { DAY, Richard (1552 - ) ‹ LBT 07331 › } to uphold his father's patent [Arber, ii. 791, 792]. Again in 1590-1 several copies of the Harmony of the Church [i.e., An Harmony of the Confessions of the faith of the Christian and Reformed Churches (B.M. p. 375)] which had been seized at his shop, were returned to him on a payment of £2 [Arber, i. 543, 545, 550].
