KITSON (ABRAHAM), bookseller in London, 1581-94; The Sun, St. Paul's Churchyard, Apparently successor of Anthony Kitson { KITSON, Anthony ( - 1578) ‹ LBT 00130 › }. In 1581 T. Hill's Natural and Artificial Conc!usions was printed for him by J. Kingston { KINGSTON, John ‹ LBT 02596 › }. He was amongst those who were complained against for infringing the printing privileges in 1583 [Arber, ii. 779). From 1584 he seems to have acted as London agent for books printed at Cambridge by John Legate { LEGATE, John ( - 1620) ‹ LBT 06877 › } [cf. Sayle, pp. 412,1630].
