BUSBY (JOHN), junr., bookseller in London, 1607-31. Took lip his freedom in the Company of Stationers on June 15th, 1607, on the same day as John Helme { HELME, John ( - 1617) ‹ LBT 07990 › } with whom he appears to have begun business, his first book entry, on August 27th, 1607, being in their joint names [Arber, iii. 353, 633]. Amongst his publications was J. Melton's Six fold Politician, entered on December 15th, 1608 [Arber, iii. 398], and John Mason's Tragedy of the Turke, 1609. He al:;o held shares in Ben Jonson's Epicoene or The Silent Woman, and Drayton's Polyolbion. The last heard of him is in 1631, when he transferred his interest in Mason's tragedy to Francis Falkner { FAULKNER, Francis ( - 1650) ‹ LBT 08789 › } [Arber, iv. 257].
