BALLARD (RICHARD), bookseller in London, 1579-85; at St. Magnus Corner (Thames Street, near London Bridge). The first notice that we have of this bookseller is the imprint to the 1579 edition of Anthony Munday's Mirrour of Mutabilitie, which he published from the above house, previously in the occupation of William Pickering { PICKERING, William ‹ LBT 08241 › }. Ballard also dealt in nautical books. His last book entry in the Registers was on March 30th, 1585 [Arber, ii. 440], and on December 6th in the same year Henry Carre { CARRE, Henry ‹ LBT 07951 › } was licensed to retain in his service John Proctor { PROCTOR, John ‹ LBT 06862 › } late apprentice to Richard Ballard, deceased [Arber, ii. 137]. Ballard was succeeded at his address by Hugh Astley { ASTLEY, Hugh ( - 1608) ‹ LBT 08397 › }.
