FIELD (NATHANIEL), bookseller in London, 1611-28. Son of John Field of London, clerk, apprenticed to Ralph Jackson { JACKSON, Ralph ( - 1601) ‹ LBT 07364 › }, stationer, for eight years from Michaelmas, 1596, and took up his freedom on June 3rd, 1611 [Arber, ii. 215; iii. 683]. He thus served seyen years beyond his term. Field's first book entry does not occur until 1624, and his last was on December 19th, 1627 [Arber, iv. 133, 191]. He dealt chiefly in theological literature, amongst which is found two sermons preached at Court by Theophilus Field, Bishop of Landaff. The bishop is stated in the Dictionary of National Biography to have been the brother of Nathaniel Field, the actor and dramatist, who may be identical with this stationer. His place of business has not been found.
