BUSBY (JOHN), senior, bookseller in London, 1590-1619; St. Dunstan's Churchyard. Son of William Busby, cordwainer of London. Apprentice to Oliver Wilkes { WYLKES, Oliver ( - 1588) ‹ LBT 08759 › } for nine years from Michaelmas, 1576, but allowed to serve his time with Andrew Maunsell { MAUNSELL, Andrew ‹ LBT 00132 › } , draper, exercising the art of a stationer [Arber, ii. 71]. Admitted a freeman of the Company on November 8th, 1585 [Arber, ii. 695]. He appears to have been for some time in partnership with Arthur Johnson { JOHNSON, Arthur ( - 1631) ‹ LBT 08838 › }, and is chiefly remembered as the procurer of Shakespeare's Merry Wives and as having had a share in Henry V, and apparently in King Lear [Arber, iii. 366]. The last heard of him in the Registers is on September 27th, 1619, when he assigned over his copyright in Thomas Dekker's 0 per se O to Augustine Matthewes { MATHEWES, Augustine ‹ LBT 09007 › } [Arber, iii. 657].
